Clapton certainly has his defenders, especially among conservative anti-vaxxers. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, himself no stranger to crackpot conspiracy theories or race baiting, tweeted a picture of himself with Clapton backstage during the guitarist’s recent tour of red state arenas.

Thank you, Flick. Neither did the first 49 posters. I hadn’t heard this anywhere before.
“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.
