"I think that poor Puff was a victim of his times for a bit."
*laughs*
"When Peter wrote the additional verses, it was obviously about this little boy who had grown up and no longer believed in Puff. It was about a boy coming of age. But the times in which the song was released gave you a window of interpretation.

Peter went on stations and gave examples of how "The Star-Spangled Banner" could even be interpreted as a song about drugs. But unfortunately, it didn't stop the rumor. And in some ways, it crippled sales. I believe it was either Hong Kong, Shanghai or Singapore, but they refused to play it because they felt it was about drugs. But it wasn't and it never was. But the song still brings people joy."

“Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea
because he took HCQ and survived anecdotally.”

I came up with that last year when the “experts” were dismissing HCQ as a treatment.
