Since last year, Clapton has repeatedly used his vast platform to do his utmost to undermine expert medical advice. He has opposed lockdowns and made suspicious claims about the dangers of vaccines. This spring, he said in videos posted on a friend's YouTube channel that scientific studies, expert opinions and public health recommendations extolling the importance of vaccines were "propaganda..."

At this ‘news’, my favorite guitarist just got favoriter !
Your local MSM stasi liar.
Yep
100%
As far as guitarists go, which is Clapton’s strength, I listen to Stevie Ray Vaughn and Steve Morse. Also like the older stuff from Jeff Beck and Rory Gallagher.
Yardbirds, Cream, The Beatles, solo…
Remind me who Jeff Slate is again?
Got distracted and did not add other favorites: Johnny Cash, Amy Winehouse, Guy Clark, Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Chris Stapleton, the Steel Drivers.
That’s great. I am sure the shows were excellent. I missed seeing both BF and Cream. Though I did go to a lot of shows back then.
Clapton over claptrap.
I kind of agree with this article. I remember when Clapton was in Cream in the late 60’s, he was an outspoken supporter of Smith Kline Labs, and the hippies loved him for it. Then, when he made his big comeback in ‘77 with Slowhand, he started every concert with a speech singing the praises of Merck Pharma, and the crowd went wild. I don’t know what the heck happened to him!
Clapton is really going the rebel thing by being in a minority and going against “The Man.” Other posers want to act as rebels but sell out the minute any music exec throws them a bone. So this is REAL to him. Which is what the blues and rock should be about. NBC is about as unreal as can be and should in no way judge character.
That’s their opinion, I actually think more of him now..
NBC went has been going straight down since Hope left.
Even if what Eric Clapton says is wrong, what does that have to do with his guitar-playing abilities on which he built his legacy?
Funny. the article never bother to mention Clapton was partially paralyzed for several weeks following the covid vaccine.
Thank you, Flick. Neither did the first 49 posters. I hadn’t heard this anywhere before.
How bout this one.

No one is allowed to voice the impacts of the VID vax side effects. Even Eric Clapton. It amazes me that not a single member of Congress 535 strong has had an issue given their age. Statistics says it isn’t possible.
“I took the first jab of AZ and straight away had severe reactions which lasted ten days,” Clapton wrote. “Needless to say the reactions were disastrous, 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 said.He said he received the second dose six weeks later “with a little more knowledge of the dangers.”
“Needless to say the reactions were disastrous, my hands and feet were either frozen, numb or burning, and pretty much useless for two weeks, I feared I would never play again, (I suffer with peripheral neuropathy and should never have gone near the needle.),” Clapton said.
The songwriter blamed the “propaganda” surrounding the vaccine for what he believes was misinformation regarding its safety.
On what planet does Eric Clapton not have a right if not an obligation to share his horrible experience with the AstraZeneca vaccine? Canceled for this? Is he not permitted to learn from his own experience, and share it with others?
This only adds to my very considerable respect for him.
He did no such thing. He just didn’t go along with your Covid propaganda. Remember when musicians used to be celebrated for questioning authority?
Yes! Thank you. The Nuge is great
