Eric Clapton thinks he can change the world - or at least the world’s perception of COVID-19 vaccines.
The 76-year-old rocker - who has repeatedly railed against the vaccines and associated mandates in recent months - has now helped bankroll an anti-vax band, Rolling Stone reported.
According to the publication, Clapton donated £1,000 ($1,360) to British rockers Jam For Freedom through a GoFundMe set up to help pay for legal fees they incurred after “breaching COVID regulations” at a gig.
Jam For Freedom has been playing shows across the UK in recent months, blasting the COVID shots in their songs. One of their tracks features the lyric: “You can stick your poison vaccine up your arse.”
Jam For Freedom’s founding member, Cambel McLaughlin, 27, told Rolling Stone he thought he was being pranked when he saw the money come through from Clapton, so he sent an email to an account associated with the donation.
“I’m like, ‘This could be fake,'” McLaughlin told the publication, before revealing that he subsequently received a text from the “Wonderful Tonight” singer.
“It was something complimentary, along the lines of, ‘Hey, it’s Eric - great work you’re doing.'”

He’s a pretty good guitar player, too.
Anti-vaccine denial? So, that means he’s pro-vaccine?
Back in May, Clapton claimed he suffered a “disastrous” reaction to the AstraZeneca jab.
“My hands and feet were either frozen, numb or burning, and pretty much useless for two weeks, I feared I would never play again,” he wrote in a letter to anti-lockdown activists.

Why does the author of this hit piece write about Clapton’s “vaccine denial”, as if he is some sort of religious apostate. He suffered horrible side-effects from the vaccine. Do the Covidians think he should be all gung-ho on the covid vaccine?
Clapton is a big lefty and is vaxxed.
He had a bad reaction and is warning others of the same.
So he must be silenced.
Green is God!
Sure you are...you can’t even spell his name right. HAHAHA!!
What is “vaccine denial ?
His anti vax song: https://youtu.be/dNt4NIQ7FTA
He is also anti-lockdown.
Yeah...that was funny as heck
I'll bet he's a vaxxaphobe.
Many times our heros are flawed. Eric C. Is an incredible guitar player. He probably should have waited a longer interval before getting the 2nd jab. Then, he got horribly sick for a bunch of days. And he has been having a hissy fit about the 2nd jab ever since. I am cautious about getting a booster shot any time soon. Sometimes, A star power person gets to have a more wide-ranging voice.
I like Eric Clapner!
Are you one of those crazy vaccine denial deniers?
He took the vaccine, he isn’t denying there is a vaccine, he’s just telling people he had a bad reaction.
No one should be forced to inject experimental substances.
It's a little more than that; he couldn't feel his hands for three weeks.
You'll take your paralysis, rotting toes, and heart attack and LIKE IT!
