Maybe the second Van Morrison collab was their breaking point. Several months after Eric Clapton first began spreading coronavirus misinformation, which recently culminated in an anti-vaccination and anti-lockdown crusade, the musician admitted that his coterie of famous pals have begun to cut off communication with him. “I’ve tried to reach out to fellow musicians,” he explained during an interview with YouTube free-speech channel Oracle Films,

Clapton reiterated that, although he decided to get a COVID vaccination for the sake of his children, he had “disastrous” reactions to the AstraZeneca vaccine that made him question the inherent good of jabs. “I feared I would never play again. I suffer with peripheral neuropathy and should never have gone near the needle,” he added. “But the propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone.” In May, Clapton used the same “propaganda” argument in an open letter obtained by Rolling Stone, in which he praised conspiratorial-leaning YouTube channels and the work he released with Morrison. “It’s hard to bite my tongue with what I now know,” he added about his theories. Suddenly, all of the southern stops on Clapton’s 2021 tour make total sense.

I guess I'm the only one who finds this amusing. Turns out conservatives can be shamed, even if they haven't become self aware of problems of their own making.

He's pushing propaganda that is wrong, and anyone paying any attention knows there were some side effects and it was not considered OK for everyone. It was intended for everyone, but as people got vaccinated, we discovered weaknesses and risks with each vaccine. Life is like that Eric.

Clapton's a good guitarist. He is greatly admired for his guitar playing all over the World ........ but he shouldn't talk, because the minute he opens his mouth the magic is gone.

Actually a great guitarist. I’ll listen to that. Don’t really need any Brits prattling about.

Its fine to give your opinion, whoever you are. However the more public of a figure you are, the more you should try to share something real and true, not propaganda from sour grapes. I don't even know how bad the Astra Zeneca shot was, but I noticed some of the pain in my arm from shot two, was because the person was not as gentle with the actual shot as whoever did the first. I used to get allergy shots often for my allergies, while usually the reaction was about what was injected, the pain in my arm, and how quickly it went into my system seemed to vary depending if I got someone good with shots or not.

I've had the AZ vaccine .... No symptoms with the first and with the second felt a bit weak two days afterwards. Its been different for my colleagues. Some have been fine, others have had to go home and rest up for a day or two.

That's the nature of all the types Covid vaccination.... and just the way your own body is responding.

the more you should try to share something real and true

No, its getting increasingly tiresome ... and sanctimonious speeches from over privileged people, is one of the reasons that the public aren't watching award ceremonies anymore.

Reasonably intelligent, sane adults..... like we are..... don't need telling what to do by the entertainment industry.

You can tune that out. I hear sanctimonius people all day in RL especially at work. Why should the entertainment industry behave better than you and other real people?

And ... I don't think Clapton even shared this shit in a ceremony. Like most folks famous or not, they've been tweeting, using FB, and other platforms to spread their beliefs, etc.
