CORONA Eric Clapton after COVID vaccination: 'I should never have gone near the needle'

Producer Robin Monotti Graziadei today forwarded a message he received from singer Eric Clapton in which Clapton reports adverse reactions he suffered after submitting to the shot, regrets having undergone the procedure, and asks, "where have all the rebels gone?"
The message reads:
I am an old timer, I have survived, with great help, addiction and alcoholism, and stand now in the greatest dilemma of my life...
I have inwardly stood against our ‘elected leaders’ since brexit, intuitively doubting their integrity and character...
With the arrival of C-19 I hoped that C Henegan, S Gupta and Jay B would lead the way, but when imperial college stepped up with their jailers key, I knew we were in deep trouble...
I am a man of faith, albeit abstract, and what I felt and saw unfold in March ‘20 began to lead me away from govt rhetoric and the devotion of the general public to the PM and his cronies...
I looked for heroes in the house, and found C Walker, Desmond Swayne, and in unfortunate retirement, Lord Sumption...
On YouTube I found Hugotalks and Talk Radio... that was all....
Then I was directed to Van M, that’s when I found my voice, and even though I was singing his words, they echoed in my heart...
I recorded “stand and deliver” in 2020, and was immediately regaled with contempt and scorn...
In February this year, before I learned about the nature of the vaccines, (and being 76 with emphysema) I was in the avant garde. I took the first jab of AZ and straight away had severe reactions which lasted ten days, I recovered eventually and was told it would be twelve weeks before the second one...
About six weeks later I was offered and took the second AZ shot, but 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.) But the propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone....
Then I met a member of this group, who counselled me to be careful and to have a look at what goes on with you guys...
I felt like a veil had been lifted, that I was no longer alone, that it was okay, in fact essential, to hold on to my intuition and follow my heart...
I continue to tread the path of passive rebellion and try to tow the line in order to be able to actively love my family, but it’s hard to bite my tongue with what I now know...
I’ve recorded and will post here another song by Van called “The Rebels” it’s not aggressive or provocative, it just asks;
“Where have all the rebels gone?
Hiding behind their computer screens
Where’s the spirit, where is the soul
Where have all the rebels gone”
I’ve been a rebel all my life, against tyranny and arrogant authority, which is what we have now, but I also crave fellowship, compassion and love, and that I find here...
I believe with these things we can prevail

Mr. Clapton is sort of between a rock and a hard place.

Go without a vax, and suffer the full tribulation of the disease should he get it. Given his overall condition, his outcome might be poor.

Go with a vax, and suffer the partial tribulation of the disease should he get "effects". Given his overall condition, his outcome might be poor.

As it seems it was. But alive he is still. Lucky, but alive.

Of course had he taken better care of his tools during his life thus far, he might have done better. A lot better.

Imagine an EC in full health and capability?

Perhaps he "suffered for his art?" (i.e. the suffering was necessary for full production of his "art.")

Van Gogh cut his ear off.

He must be living in the UK......if he took the A.Z. series? Yep, with all of his health issues, he probably should have sought out/waited for an alternative. Everybody has to make their own decisions with their own best interests and limitations in mind.

He can still play and sing like a boss.

It's funny how all the 60s and 70s generation preaching about not trusting the establishment and the man are now the establishment and the man. ****ing hippocrits.
They had a "marketable product" back in the day. Would you blame them for taking advantage?

Of course one might question how exactly being in a constant state of rebellion became a marketable product?

Vietnam War perhaps? We already know the Communist underpinnings of the "protest era."

Eric Clapton after COVID vaccination: 'I should never have gone near the needle'


You can't unring a bell Mr. Clapton. I feel badly for anyone that finds that their trust has been misplaced and now they have to bear the consequences. But, he could of known better if he had wanted to.

You can rebel against tyranny but you cannot rebel against nature without paying a price for it..............after all you can ignore nature but nature won't ignore you..............

And sometimes the same forces that can help you are the same forces that rule you into a corner.........

Life as a rebel has a purpose when young but sometimes lives in regret if you are able to make it to an older age...............

The choice about vaccines is an incredibly personal one. Everyone's health situation is different. What I find abhorent is the requirement of the vaccine to work, travel, etc. My D had to be vaccinated to work. She hasn't had that bad of a reaction, but she HAS had some. Gets the 2nd shot next week. She's 43 and in great health.

I think it's important for people to speak out about their experiences with the vax. But not imagine that what other people go through would be your experience too. It helps people make their own decisions with a little more information.

But the continued restrictions and exclusion of people who can't or won't take the vax is stupid beyond words. And yes, we should rebel against this societal tyranny. It doesn't have to be "in yer face" hostility, either. Just mind yer own business and I'll mind mine.

Goodness before greatness.

When we allow TPTB to [FRAME] the boundaries of “our rebellion” the [PERIMETER OF OUR POTENTIAL] is sequestered...

When crises are continually heaped before the social order in the faces of individuals who do not understand the nature of their condition or conditioning...

When a people in society keep tripping over the same worn out Hegelian dialectic; is it a wonder the new rebellion are mere ripples of angst looking back upon itself in the mirror of regret?

No age is too old for the truth of RFN!

What year is it that a performer cannot lead, and draw upon a crowd?

He very clearly has not had the veil fully removed if he is asking where are the rebels.

He has not really been paying attention to what happens to those that rebel right now. The cancel, the silencing.

If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is allowed to know about it, did it happen?

Never have Tom smothers' words been more apt:

"Freedom of expression and freedom of speech aren't really important unless they're heard. The freedom of hearing is as important as the freedom of speaking."


And:


"The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen."



He needs more bitch slapping and silencing of anything contrary to approved of thought or speech.

Incoming....

He's a Brit, and apparently still living in England. The mindset over there is really weird...like they are even afraid to think differently than what they are told, let alone say anything.

I've been laughing at what Prince Harry had to say last week (?) about our First Amendment. If we need any kind of proof that they don't get it, this (below) is it.

Royal twit: Prince Harry declares our First Amendment 'bonkers'

Royal twit: Prince Harry declares our First Amendment 'bonkers'


Prince Harry seemed determined to outdo Meghan Markle on the obnoxious celebrity front. The oafish royal on the lam from his U.K. duties, who's now set up shop here to live the billionaire lifestyle, is now, like a lot of them, telling us how to run our country. He's calling our First Amendment 'bonkers.'

Kid you not.

According to the London Spectator (hat tip: Daily Caller), citing a podcast interview that Prince Harry made with the Davos-like Aspen Institute:
I’ve got so much I want to say about the First Amendment as I sort of understand it, but it is bonkers. I don’t want to start going down the First Amendment route because that’s a huge subject and one which I don’t understand because I’ve only been here a short time. But, you can find a loophole in anything. You can capitalise or exploit what’s not said rather than uphold what is said.
Translation: Harry doesn't have a clue. He's as baffled as Mad King George, that guy who got quite the write-up in our Declaration of Independence of 1776, about the idea of free speech. Like the Duke of Wellington, who had an issue with people moving about freely as 'escaping all proper control,' Harry's gone back to the era of bad royals trying to tamp down the public. Yet he also has the hypocrisy to do it while he insists on living with us.

The Speccie continued:
As an exercise in winning 'hearts and minds' this criticism of America's treasured civil liberties has not gone down well stateside. Comments underneath articles reporting the Duke's views include 'Hey, go home! We fought a war to get rid of Royals on our soil. No need to understand anything we do. Bye!!' and 'You can always leave if you don’t like our constitution and please find a country where you don’t have to deal with those bonkers rights.' Even one congressman has weighed in, with Texas Republican Dan Crenshaw claiming Harry has 'just doubled the size of my Independence Day party.'

George, though, at least did his duty in the U.K. as he saw fit. This bounder, out on the lam from his royal duties, not only is feeling free to hate on our country even as he moves to it and lives in it, but he's also feeling free to tell us what to do. Our country, see, is racist. Now it's got this godawful freedom of speech and, by golly, he's speaking out against it. What else would he like us to do, to ensure that his feelings don't get hurt?

According to Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge, this wasn't his only hypocrisy expressed in that podcast:
Moving on, the prince criticized self-made podcast host Joe Rogan for entertaining the notion that young health people don't need to get the vaccine - something Rogan has apologized for doing, even calling himself "a moron" for sharing the ideas on his podcast.
Harry mused that "in today’s world, with misinformation just endemic," people have "got to be careful about what comes out of your mouth." Celebrities like Rogan (who Harry mentioned by name) should just "stay out of it" and "not say anything at all if they don’t have anything useful to say."
Harry would do well to follow his own advice.

Given his self-absorbed other remarks, his me-me-me orientation in airing private conversations which may or may not have happened about the supposed 'racism' of his own British royal family (gad, what a violation of every law of human decency that was -- a violation of decency even if his parents were white trash), and his recent remarks criticizing his father's upbringing and consequent parenting skills, it's obvious that Harry lives off publicity at his family's expense, and is unable to think of anything outside the context of his self-absorbed feelings. There are no great ideas in his weird little celebrity bubble, there is no such thing as concepts that move nations. There's just little him, and how everyone and everything out there is so bad to him. Therefore, the First Amendment must go.

It comes at a bad time, given the actual threats from the left that the First Amendment is under, which is likely why the reaction stateside was so strong.

Realistically, chalk it up to Harry's baseline self-absorption, coupled with his Millennial ignorance of anything but wokester knowledge of U.S. history, rather than a King George style of plain regal elitism. But it's the same thing. That's a bad combination to have in a royal. The royal twit should apologize.

I've often thought of that.

The ones (my "older brothers and sisters"---about 8-10 years older than me) constantly proclaimed QUESTION AUTHORITY, yet when THEY became "the authority"---they were TEN TIMES more authoritarian than THEIR PARENTS' generation or the government of the 60's they were then protesting.

The ones who endorsed having an OPEN MIND are now the most CLOSE-MINDED people I've ever seen---not only refusing to consider alternatives to their way of thinking, but not even ALLOWING contrary views to theirs to be SPOKEN.

The ones who decried the "FUNDAMENTALISTS" as being backward, ignorant, and dangerous due to their self-righteousness, are now the most SELF-RIGHTEOUS generation our country and our world has ever known.

It just goes to prove Jesus' restatement of this eternal principle of God true:
"Judge not, that ye be not judged..........for ye that judgest DO THE SAME THINGS."

(what He was saying is that the things we NOTICE, to criticize in others, bother us precisely BECAUSE those SAME faults are already present WITHIN US).

Dear lord......

You are right about the mentality there. Not everyone, but many.

I'll be praying for your daughter.

A friend in our high school class has posted on FB about how his healthy son suddenly developed Bell's Palsy. I haven't had the heart to ask him if his son recently got the vax--but that is one of the reactions, for those who react severely. He's now having symptoms very close to what Clampton is describing in the first post. What would be the use of telling him the vax may have caused it? The damage has already been done, and cannot be undone (since it modifies/alters the very cellular dynamics of every cell in our bodies).

If you haven’t learned to listen to your intuition by the age of 76, I’m afraid you get what you deserve. I haven’t always listened to mine and I paid dearly for it. I am also very careful what I let into my consciousness. We do not have tv or radio. I found this has honed my intuition.

Big celebrity cry baby. His severe reaction was his feet and hands were numb. :lol:
As far as "I should have never gone near the needle"... 60 years to late for that Eric.

The mistake most people make is equating being good at one thing, like music, with knowing your ass from a hole in the ground, in other areas of life.
If Eric wants to tell me about music, I'll listen. About anything else, he's just another dunce.

He is 76 years old, he has emphysema, he already has peripheral neuropathy (probably from years of diabetes).
He would die from Covid.
His hands and feet got more numb from inflammation from the covid immune reaction. He's back to normal enough now that he can bitch about it and use it to try for another 15 minutes of fame. It sure beats the hell out of being 6 feet underground and being eaten by worms Eric boy.
