Guy agrees with Eric vaccination philosophy. Curious what he thinks about this.

[Kris-b]

Guy gave his opinion on that in his forum.

What were his views?

Maybe he just agree it's not fair discriminate people depending on if they are vaccinated or not. People rejected vaccines sometimes for medical issues, not for being anti vaxers.

I read Guy's response as being rather critical of EC, albeit agreeing that people should not be forced to have vaccines (which they are not, in the UK anyway).

Discriminate audiences if they are vaccinated or not is close to force people to get the vaccine

We'll agree to disagree on that one.

It's your right not to have a vaccine, but in doing so you give up certain liberties, because not doing so may risk other people.

Nobody is forced to take a driving test, but if you don't take it, you aren't allowed to drive as you would risk other people's safety.

Dusty, I take you right in a righteous world

I'll take the medical advice of WHO, the EU, the world's governments, etc. over anything that EC might think about the issue.

The same issue happened when Mark canceled his shows in Russia... It was like, okay, Mr. Musician, you may think what you want about any political situation in our country, but fans love you and a lot of people bought tickets, etc., and still, he made the decision instead of playing, well, music. That was incredibly stupid for a musician punishing only his fans and nobody else because I can assure you, absolutely nobody in the authorities cared about this, not a single soul, it made absolutely no impact. But a lot of fans were pissed instead, and Mark doesn't care.

Yes, you remember us on a regular base about it so we are very aware of that.

Not trolling here, genuine question, what's your view on the cultural boycott of South Africa in the 1980s, eg people like Dire Straits and others (not Queen) refusing to play Sun City?

Actually I don't disagree with this at all. I think that if we want to win the battle against this Damm virus, we should all get vaccinated, and while being in pandèmia, ask for vaccination certification is OK for me, as these are exceptional times.

But it's also true that if you don't want to get a vaccine but you want to get to concerts, sports etc you should be vaccinated, is force antivaxers to get the vaccine.

And I agree with that, because I'm against stupidity, and being anti vaccine is being stupid, no matter which excuses you use. It's proven that vaccine are useful. It's proven that stupidity is dangerous.

It's another thing that if someone has a health issue that makes vaccination dangerous, doesn't get it, but being antivax because you believe foolish people in internet and not science is stupid.

And Clapton is a stupid, a very big one. He had bad reaction because of his health issues, but not because vaccines are bad.
