Pete Parada, who’s been the drummer since 2007 for veteran punk band The Offspring, announced that he has been let go by the band due to his refusal to take any variation of the COVID vaccine. According to Parada, he’s been deemed “unsafe” to be around even though he had COVID-19 and recovered. But that’s not his only reason for his decision to not get “the jab.” He explained his reasoning in a lengthy Twitter thread Monday
(Snip)
There is presently no statement about the matter on the band’s website or social media channels. The band is touring to support Let The Bad Times Roll, its first new album in nine years. (A side note: lead singer Dexter Holland holds a Ph.D in molecular biology from USC.)

Drummer...... It’s alwyas the Drummer.................
I said that on the other thread. GMTA.
Lead guitarist for Queen is an Astro-physicist............
In 2017, Holland attained a PhD degree in molecular biology.
Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize!
That's what you get, in Cracker Jacks!!!
You gotta keep ‘em separated.
( lead singer Dexter Holland holds a Ph.D in molecular biology from USC.)
USC is a football school where they load great athletes with easy majors.
Molecular Biology is not one of them.

Yes, to a degree. USC is not bad, but it’s not at the level of any UC for this. Nor Stanford or CalTech.
It’d be more impressive if he went to UCLA for this, except UCLA does have to have a celebrity PhD pipeline. Maybe USC does too.
Just remember the recent plague-orgy of the vaxxed homosexuals in Provincetown, Massachusetts - which is being used to justify future lockdowns.
Some musicians are actually smart people. Look at Skunk Baxter and Brian May.
That’ll teach me not to put the phone down for 20 minutes.
Pretty fly for a white guy.
That's all I need to know about what it's worth.
I’m sure the left will say your not a real muslim and you just wanna kill grandma, unlike Cumomo.
It would be a dream come true to spend an evening having Skunk Baxter explain his views on a whole host of topics. I’ve always had such respect for the man.
At the other end of the spectrum, Offspring guitarist Kevin “Noodles” Wasserman was a janitor who got into the band because he was the only one old enough to buy beer for the other guys.
I’m beginning to think the jab is the first part of the mark of the beast, the way it’s been forced on millions, maybe trillions of people.
You can’t come into the restaurant unless you have the jabs. You can’t shop here unless you have the jabs. You can’t fly unless you have the jabs.
Sounds an awful much like the mark of the beast. I wonder if horns growing from your head, or an extra finger or three is a “side effect” once the booster jabs start up.
LOL. Translation: “Conform and be safe or else you can’t be in our punk rock band.”
Hopefully he saved enough money from his 13 years with the band to have a long, healthy retirement.
His complete Twitter statement is at the link. I skipped it because I thought it would be too long for the post.
