Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson on COVID Vaccine: 'I'm Quite Happy About It'
Newsmax ^ | Zoe Papadakis

Posted on 08/31/2021 11:52:27 AM PDT by DugwayDuke

"The music icon tested positive for the virus earlier in August despite being fully vaccinated. Looking back, the reason he was able to recover without any serious side effects was because he had the jab, Dickinson said."

"My belief is — and I stress, it's a belief — that this proves that I would have been more sick if I've not taken the vaccine," he said. "I mean, I had both jabs. Everybody I know has had both jabs. And I'm quite happy about it. You know, none of us have started growing extra heads, suddenly wanting sidle up to 5G phones,... So, all of these things, I think it's largely a myth!"

"I think they believe [conspiracy theories] because of their psychological makeup. They have a need to believe in these things," Dickinson continued. "It's the same as people that are going to sit on top of a mountain every year and wait for the world to end. And the world doesn't end, but do they modify their beliefs? Actually, no. It strengthens them."

He also suggested that the public get the vaccines because attributed his mild case of COVID to having had the vaccines. "I was kind of sneezing a bit. For a couple of days, I felt a bit groggy, kind of like the flu, and that was it," he said at the time. "And I'm 63 years old. I've pretty much got no doubt that had I not had the vaccine, I could be in serious trouble."

“My belief is — and I stress, it’s a belief — that this proves that I would have been more sick if I’ve not taken the vaccine,” he said. “I mean, I had both jabs. Everybody I know has had both jabs. And I’m quite happy about it. You know, none of us have started growing extra heads, suddenly wanting sidle up to 5G phones,... So, all of these things, I think it’s largely a myth!”

What’s an effin myth is that it is a vaccine.

I have never been asked for booster for Polio or Chickenpox.

I have had one shot for Shingles (Shyngrex) and had a horrible reaction to it that lasted almost two weeks and spent one of those weeks at a friends house to watch over me.

I would get the second and final shot for Shyngrex but the 1st one was crazy awful...

I feel like it didn’t kill me like 1.5% of the people that get it so I feel that wearing my Superman underoos saved me.

Anyone who is older, not in the best of health, or unwilling to take precaution steps, including supplements and FLCCC guidance, should strongly consider getting the vaccine.

The vaccine has plenty of its own issues, but it will definitely attenuate the repercussions of getting COVID.

It may be true the Vax lessons the severity of Covid - but given the moving goalposts over the last 9 months about vaccines, effectiveness, time of peak immunity, when USA would reach herd immunity, need to wear masks, etc... Its impossible to know what to believe.

He’s also had cancer twice, and a fake hip. He’s not a young rocker anymore. Probably thinks different now.

The all out campaign to get everybody vaccinated by a government that is pure evil tells me that they do not want a control group of the unvaccinated to compare when the craps starts hitting the fan with the vaccine and it’s boosters.

Even the pro vax ostriches that post these articles should have questions given that these evil regimes are pushing the vaccine on people who already had covid and according to every recent study are better protected without the vaccine.

This is the most underrated rock band of all time. And their mascot absolutely kicks rear.

The real effin myth is that they are not vaccines.

Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

The “Eddie” art is outstanding.

Bruce is a pilot as well and has given vets free rides home.
I’ll certainly give him leeway.

(I’m still not getting the vax ever...)

The control group is all of the world’s population that hasn’t been vaccinated.

If they decide based on whether Batman gets the vaccine, they’re too stupid to think what you’re suggesting.

I’m annoyed every time someone calls the vaccine the “jab”. It’s so childish.

at the end of february 2021 current president biden disbanded former president trump’s “operation warp speed” and transferred all responsibilities to the “white house covid 19 response team”...

everything changed after biden and the demonrats stole the 2020 election...

this includes biden opening the border during a so called “global pandemic”...

i refuse to trust thieves and liars...
