Eric Clapton Debuts Anti-Vax Song

by Julian Spivey
On Thursday, July 22 rock legend Eric Clapton, the only man elected into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame three times as a solo act and as a member of both The Yardbirds and Cream, announced that he would not perform concerts in venues that require proof of vaccination amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
​
Clapton is scheduled for an eight-city tour across the American South this fall that will see him make stops in Texas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida (locations he likely won’t have to worry about when it comes to vaccine requirements or truly anybody being vaccinated whatsoever).

Clapton, who has been vocal of Britain’s COVID lockdown and even collaborated with fellow rock hall member Van Morrison on an anti-lockdown song called “Stand and Deliver,” issued a statement that said: “I wish to say that I will not perform on any stage where there is a discriminated audience present. Unless there is a provision made for all people to attend, I reserve the right to cancel the show.”

On Friday, July 23, Clapton went a step further by debuting a new anti-vax song on his social media platforms called “No Vaccine” that sounded suspiciously like his 1977 classic rock staple “Cocaine.”

The lyrics for “No Vaccine” are below:

If you want to get sick
That’s your privilege
No vaccine
If you want to get down
Down in the ground
No vaccine
 
Fauci lies
Fauci lies
Fauci lies
No Vaccine
 
Don’t you watch the news
They’ll just give ya blues
No vaccine
You don’t need that prick
It’s all bullshit
No vaccine
 
Fauci lies
Fauci lies
Fauci lies
No Vaccine
