Eric Clapton refuses to play venues requiring full vaccination
British rock icon Eric Clapton has said he will not perform at venues that require concertgoers to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said proof of vaccination must be shown at clubs and venues from September.
Clapton said he will not perform anywhere there is a “discriminated audience present“.
His announcement came through the social media accounts of an outspoken anti-vaccine activist.
The guitarist said he felt “honour bound” to make the statement, which was posted on Wednesday to the accounts of Italian architect and film producer Robin Monotti.
In May, Clapton said he had experienced a “severe” reaction to the AstraZeneca vaccine.
In a letter to Mr Monotti, he blamed “propaganda” for overstating the safety of the vaccine. He added that he feared the “disastrous” reaction would leave him unable to play music again.
Experts have stressed the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks for the vast majority of people. Some people do experience mild to moderate symptoms after being vaccinated.
There is a very rare blood clot side-effect believed to be linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine, but the European Medicines Agency still recommends the jabs for all ages.
Clapton’s next UK show is scheduled for May 2022 at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The venue has said people may be asked to show their Covid status ahead of an event.
Clapton also has eight US concerts scheduled in September of this year. Vaccine proof is currently not required at most music venues in the US.
This is not the first time Clapton has taken a stand on Covid measures: he appeared on Northern Irish singer Van Morrison’s anti-lockdown song “Stand and Deliver” in December.
The song was one of three by Van Morrison to protest lockdown measures.
British-Sri Lankan singer MIA also made headlines in April 2020 after saying she would rather “choose death” than a vaccine. She later clarified her remarks to say she was “not against vaccines” but “against companies who care more for profit than humans“.
A recent Imperial College London survey looking at 15 countries found that concerns about side effects and testing are the primary reasons behind vaccine hesitancy.

And he’s still a legend.
He had additional nerve damage from the vaccine.
Mitochondrial, ATP dysfunction can be seen as a very good indicator of general health. One of the most overlooked things is mitochondrial function and related factors.
Blood clotting, unsurprisingly, should be seen as an intrinsic function (by design) of the vaccines. Generally, everything peddled and ignored (like EMF) targeting oxygenation function, if you go look at any aspect demonized in the narrative, it involves oxygenation, antioxidation…while very conveniently, ignoring and pushing (as treatment) all kinds of toxic antioxidative factors.
None of the things actually recommended, address any essential. NONE of them. And ALL of them worse oxygenation function.
Graphene oxide (apparently in swabs, masks, vaccines) could “recruit” say, oxygen for causing clumping (in itself a clotting risk). As a result, magnetic effects are increased, EMF absorption increased (additional oxidative and even nitrosative stress).
Tbh, nitric oxide function, kinda sums up the situation.

Sorry, edit.
Graphene oxide (apparently in swabs, masks, vaccines) could “recruit” say, iron for causing clumping (in itself a clotting risk).
Magnetite, for instance (an endogenous iron compound) being particularly receptive in the 100mhz – 10ghz range (the vast majority of wireless radiation).

Well, gl with that. I have not ever, even once seen evidence or justification that vaccines, any of them, are beneficial and not an attack, with the purpose of degeneration.
Like, you can’t make a “fixed” vaccine product that works. It’s fucking impossible, dumbasses. Because you’re not addressing the physics. You’re addressing abstract conflated results that you gave a name, for an industry that relies on sick people to believe their bullshit.
See, your bodily, health status is different to mine. Sure, there are consistencies in terms of habits, environments, etc (never addressed and conveniently ignored, regarding the physics and influence of that, btw) so you can generalize vaguely.
But the thing is, an 80 year old white man and a 5 year old black child has very different health status, which cannot even potentially address with the concept of a generalized vaccine.
Address individual health status. Sure, you can say “Oh, people are in general going to have low vitamin D, weaker serotonin, melatonin, tryptophan function in winter, as well as lower glutathione because they’d have additionally less fresh fruit and vegetables” or “Yeah, people probably need more potassium and iodine on average.”…
But as soon as you try to push a generalized toxin I know exactly what you’re about and I will, will you into the abyss.

Hi PSI Readers,
Read this from the New York Times’ this Morning News!!!
July 26, 2021
Author Headshot
By David Leonhardt
“Good morning. We offer advice about thinking through breakthrough infections.

A matter of perspective
Breakthrough infections — in which vaccinated people nonetheless get the Covid-19 virus — are one of those vexing topics that can be difficult to put in perspective.
On the one hand, breakthrough infections are obviously occurring. They’ve happened to the New York Yankees and to White House officials, as well at summer gatherings in Massachusetts, Oklahoma and elsewhere. My colleague Liam Stack recently got sick with a breakthrough infection (and I’ll tell you his story below).
On the other hand, the scale of breakthrough infections remains unclear. Are they a significant reason that cases are now surging in the U.S. — and a reason for vaccinated people to be concerned? Or are breakthrough infections rare exceptions that receive outsize attention?
Those are two very different scenarios. If breakthrough infections are an important source of Covid spread, it would suggest that vaccinated people should resume some of their previous precautions, like avoiding crowded places. If Covid is instead spreading overwhelmingly among the unvaccinated, it would suggest that the behavior of the vaccinated doesn’t matter very much; the only reliable way to reduce caseloads would involve more vaccinations.
I’m going to warn you up front that I don’t have a definitive answer for you. “There’s a lot of uncertainty right now,” as Natalie Dean, a biostatistician at Emory University, told me. But there is some evidence that can help you think through the situation while scientists collect more data.
What we know
Let’s start with a few facts that are clear:
Vaccinated people are nearly guaranteed not to be hospitalized or killed by Covid.
Among children under 12, who remain ineligible for the vaccine, serious forms of Covid are also extremely rare. Children face bigger risks when they ride in a car.
The Delta variant does not appear to change either of those facts.
Millions of unvaccinated American adults are vulnerable to hospitalization or death from Covid.
Given all of this, the most effective Covid-fighting strategy has not changed, experts say: “Shots in arms,” as my colleague Apoorva Mandavilli writes. Or as Dean says, “The biggest problem is that there are a lot of people with no protection.”
And there are measures that would almost certainly increase vaccinations: Full F.D.A. approval (which hasn’t happened despite public endorsements of the vaccines by the F.D.A.’s leaders); vaccine mandates from employers and local governments; and pro-vaccination messages from Republican politicians, professional athletes and other people who have credibility among vaccine skeptics. Any of these steps would almost certainly have a bigger effect than behavioral changes among the vaccinated.
Still, I understand why many vaccinated people are wondering if they should change their behavior. I feel the same way. I don’t want to contribute to the spread of the virus, and I would rather not contract even a modest version of Covid.
Among other reasons, the risks of “long Covid” remain uncertain. Yes, those risks get exaggerated sometimes: Many viruses, like influenza, cause long-term symptoms, and some of the focus on long Covid stems from society’s current obsession with all things Covid. There is still no rigorous study that compares long Covid with “long flu.” But long Covid is probably worse, which argues for caution.
What we don’t know
How common, then, are breakthrough infections?
One reason for optimism is the recent trend among the most vaccinated segments of society: older people. About 80 percent of Americans over age 65 have been fully vaccinated. This chart looks at the U.S. since late June, when cases began rising:
This chart looks at England — where more than 90 percent of older people are vaccinated — since late May, when cases began rising there:
As you can see, new cases have risen only modestly among people over 65, suggesting that breakthrough infections are rare. “I think people who are vaccinated are not, on a population level, major contributors to the transmission of the disease,” Dr. David Dowdy, a Johns Hopkins University epidemiologist, told me.
Part of the reason is that vaccinated people are both less likely to get infected and less likely to pass on the virus even if they do get infected, scientists say. A vaccinated person without Covid symptoms seems especially unlikely to infect somebody else.
“What is clear is that people who are vaccinated and have symptomatic breakthrough infections can transmit it to other people,” Dr. Ashish Jha of Brown University said. “What is not at all clear is whether vaccinated asymptomatic people can transmit it. And my best guess is no — or not very often.”
He added: “I’m not worried about an asymptomatic vaccinated person spreading it to me.”
Of course, a vaccinated person can still get the virus from somebody who has symptoms or hasn’t been vaccinated. Liam Stack, a Times reporter who covers religion, was fully vaccinated by April but nonetheless caught the virus in June, probably socializing with friends, either at a bar or a beach house, he says.
“It was not the sickest I’ve ever been, but it was very disruptive,” he told me. He was sick for a full week, with flulike symptoms, including congestion, muscle aches and fatigue. One day, he took a three-hour nap around lunchtime, followed by a two-hour nap before dinner.
Liam is feeling better now, and, as far as he knows, none of his friends or family members contracted the virus from him. But he does not recommend the experience. “It was unpleasant,” he said.

The bottom line
Different vaccinated people are going to make different decisions, and that’s OK. I find the risk of breakthrough infections to be small enough that I’m not going to make major changes to my behavior.
I would feel differently if I lived in a community with a lower vaccination rate — or if I lived with somebody who was vulnerable to Covid because of an immunodeficiency. And the current surge in cases has changed my thinking. I will again wear a mask sometimes when in close contact with strangers, even if it has little tangible effect. The main reason to do so, as Dowdy said, is to contribute to a shared sense that we have entered a worrisome new phase of the pandemic.
It’s also important that the country not respond in ways that would do more harm than good — say, by delaying the full reopening of schools, Dowdy added. For vaccinated people, Covid still represents a very small risk, and the cost of our response should not exceed the benefits.
But when cases are surging, as they are now, our approach to Covid should be different than when they are plunging.

Here’s your clue, Jerry.
https://www.cdc.gov/csels/dls/locs/2021/07-21-2021-lab-alert-Changes_CDC_RT-PCR_SARS-CoV-2_Testing_1.html
” CDC encourages laboratories to consider adoption of a multiplexed method that can facilitate detection and differentiation of SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Such assays can facilitate continued testing for both influenza and SARS-CoV-2 and can save both time and resources as we head into influenza season.”
Influenza took a year off to train, and now the king is back with a vengeance to punish usurpers.

It’s also nice how that tacitly admits that influenza and covid are the same, as they are both (rather similar) symptomatic results caused by rather similar factors (deficiencies and toxicites) and are both fraudulent.
And also, that their “testing” protocol for supposed covid(which amounts to making shit up through extrapolation) is useless and conflated (the same influenza) results as covid.
Isn’t it fun understanding toxicity dynamics?
Here’s another clue, covid vaccines worsen influenza (and numerous other diseases), influenza vaccines worsen covid (and numerous other diseases), measles vaccines worsen polio (and the exact same things called GBS/AFM), among HUNDREDS of other arbitrarily quantified/named symptomatic results, etc.

Btw, I’m suicidal, almost like an accredited climate scientologist branch covidian religiously zealous industrial death cultist.
But the thing is, your vaccines are not good enough for the youth in asia aspect.
I would totally vote for the youth in asia if I voted. But I don’t, so I guess I should kill myself (as a joke) with leveraging copious amounts of NO.

This alert also has a important message that the CDC wants to curtail use of the RT-PCR test. ”
After December 31, 2021, CDC will withdraw the request to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) of the CDC 2019-Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel, the assay first introduced in February 2020 for detection of SARS-CoV-2 only. CDC is providing this advance notice for clinical laboratories to have adequate time to select and implement one of the many FDA-authorized alternatives.”

Jerry & Others that apparently don’t read or research material presented on this very website: Vanden Bossche, DVD, PhD, predicted this outcome on this very site:
https://principia-scientific.com/vanden-bossche-interview-should-covid-vaccinations-be-stopped/
Now there was a link to the hard copy presentation at the Vaccine Summit in Ohio in March 1-3, 2021. VB theorizes:
‘Why is nobody worried about ‘immune escape’ whereas Covid-19 has already escaped people’s innate immunity as reflected by multiple emerging, much more infectious, viral variants (most likely due to the global implementation of infection prevention measures)? Vaccine deployment in the ongoing mass immunization campaigns are highly likely to further enhance (adaptive) immune escape as none of the current vaccines will prevent replication/ transmission of viral variants. The more we use these vaccines for immunizing people in the midst of a pandemic, the more infectious the virus will become.” Do I agree—NO. The mRNA shot is designed as a bio-weapon as David Martin has elaborated on this site and elsewhere: https://theplantstrongclub.org/2021/07/22/exclusive-dr-david-martin-just-ended-covid-fauci-doj-politicians-in-one-interview-with-stew-peters/.
Have a look see of the real truth— they are trying to kill us Jerry—have a nice evening.

Eric, Ginger and Jack (CREAM) some of the greatest Rock & Roll ever produced.
“Cream was a chemical explosion like no other, the blueprint for every supergroup to follow and the heavy blues precursor to Hendrix, Zeppelin and so much more. Fifty years since their earth-shaking debut album, the bloodlines of that hallowed trilogy still resonate in my headphones.” I pray for Eric daily that he overcomes this latest tragedy.

When are you people going to wake up to the fact that they never said that their vaccines would prevent the symptoms or that they would prevent anyone from getting the disease; only that they would reduce said symptoms some what. What has happened is that the advertising storm to get people to accept the damned things has shut out all reasonable assessment of the pros and cons.

The evidence, facts, and outcomes of injecting poisons into the body were out there in the 50s.No pathogenic virus has ever been identified, Coid19 is a total fraud conducted by Big Pharma & its fully paid up members along with germ theory.
