Mick Jagger minced no words when sharing his thoughts on anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists in a new interview. The Rolling Stones singer just released a new solo single, the raucous, Dave Grohl-assisted “Eazy Sleazy.” Jagger rails against the difficulties and tragedies of the COVID-19 pandemic, including canceled tours, virtual-songwriting sessions and steadily rising infection numbers.
He also pokes fun at vaccine skeptics and flat-earthers in one tongue-in-cheek verse: "Shooting the vaccine / Bill Gates is in my bloodstream / It’s mind control / The earth is flat and cold."
"It just seems to be that even people you know that are relatively sensible about a lot of things have one thing that they just don’t kind of get," Jagger told Rolling Stone in a new interview. "Of course, there’s no point in speaking to people about it. They don’t get it. They got what they believe in and they believe in that. And it doesn’t matter what you say, they’re gonna believe in it. And rational thought doesn’t work."
Jagger said that over the past year, he's discovered through casual phone conversations that a fair share of his friends and relatives are opposed to getting vaccinated. (Thankfully, the frontman didn't have these revelations while arguing with people on Facebook.) "It’s just saying to people, 'When are you getting your vaccine?' Just passing the time of day, 'Oh, I’m not getting it.' 'Okay. Why not? Are you in the queue?' 'Oh no, because I don’t agree with it.' I started to realize that there really were quite a few people like that."
The singer found that while some of these people were open to learning new information and having their minds changed, others — especially those of a certain political persuasion — were set in their ways and not even worth singing about. "After a while, some people maybe change their minds on this," he said. "But all these other ones like, 'Trump won the election' and all these things, I didn’t bother putting them in [the song]."
Despite the dire circumstances of the pandemic and the rampant disinformation that infected some of his friends, Jagger remains optimistic about humanity's prospects in "Eazy Sleazy.” He assures listeners in the chorus that "we're all headed back to paradise" and says that soon, the pandemic will be "a memory you're trying to remember to forget."

Bryan Rolli apparently has no self-awareness at all.
What a pantload.
Sympathy for the Devil is a poor autobiography. Probably and andenochrome boy as well.
Shut the F up and get back in the aquarium and clean the glass dumass
Go back to your devil worship jagger, we know what is required of super stars.
How courageous
Go sing another song or marry another girl, Mr. Jagger.
Support the establishment!
Ok Mick...
Or at least Micky's little head...
“Of course, there’s no point in speaking to people about it. They don’t get it. They got what they believe in and they believe in that. And it doesn’t matter what you say, they’re gonna believe in it. And rational thought doesn’t work.”
That sort of argument works both ways, Mick. Say it again, but now use the words “I” and “me” instead of “they” and “them”. With humility comes enlightenment.
I don’t consult celebrities on these things.
If you’ve been vaccinated for something, you shouldn’t have to care if others have.
...or not.
Trust the Psyence!
...or not.
Conspiracies?...lol
Next the conspiracy kooks will tell us those in government conspired to criminally undermine, compromise and overthrow the President of the United States.
No where in the article does it say that Jagger himself took the vaccine. If he did, he will be dead in 3-6 months. /spit.
The ultimate conformist.
No sympathy for nefarious vaxx devils.
Yeah, funny thing, Mick Jagger is not a guy I’m inclined to take advice from.
Is this a joke?
The Nation of Islam is the largest anti-vaxxer group in the US
