MICK JAGGER TAKES AIM AT ANTI-VAXXERS AND CONSPIRACY THEORISTS
UltimateClassicRock ^ | April 13, 2021 | Bryan Rolli

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." You can listen to the new song below.

Mick Jagger threw his hat in with the Clintons (yet never called out Hillary Clinton for her “dirty neocon” romp in Libya to take down Gaddafi who were weren’t even at war with).

Mick Jagger also threw his hat in with the CCPWHO Global Citizen propaganda last year.

People are hawking mandatory vaccines.

They will be mandatory. And people like you will dutifully comply.

It’s for the children. You are a racist if you don’t get the vax. Global warming.

The people hawking this vaccine are by and large totalitarian. This is about control. And they’ve managed to drag a lot of Freepers into their ranks.

Headline doesn't seem to match up with the content.

Jagger seems to imply that many people he knows are not taking the vaccine but appears to have a "to each their own" attitude about it.

Not that I too much care what rock singers have to say about things like this but thought I'd point it out.

What about Bill? Didn’t he start more wars than any president in U.S. histories?

“And people like you will dutifully comply.”

I have not received the vaccine.

WHO, exactly, is advocating for a mandatory vaccine? I haven’t heard anyone.

It depends on what you mean by mandatory? I read Duke University and others are requiring it for people to come back.

I got a letter from the property manager where I live telling me to get vaccinated.

Are they going to check if I did, and try to evict me, if I wouldn't tell them or refuse? I don't know.

Mick Jagger advises people to abuse their bodies with decades of illicit drugs. Sounds just like the kind of advice a doctor would give - not.

Jabby Jagger comes to realize that not everyone sees the world as he does. Even among his own friends and family.

I don’t consult entertainers about medical issue no more than I consult my doctor about making records or holding concerts.

Good thing there he isn’t writing songs mocking those people.

Truth will win out. And then he’d be standing there with egg on his face, big disgrace, kickin’ his can all over the place!

Remember when these guys were supposedly “rebels”? Now, they’re mouthpieces for the ruling elite’s narrative. The ultimate pantload loser sycophants.

If the government limits any of your freedoms by requiring that you prove that you have been vaccinated, then the vaccine is mandatory.

Sorry.

I don’t watch videos.

If they can’t write what they want to say...and subject it to close scrutiny...they are full of shit.

Just like those super secret formulas for amazing weight loss without changing what you do or what you eat.

I agree.

But I have not seen that.
