      That's the conflicted nature of righteousness. We get so accustomed to the apparent duality of right vs wrong that we often times forget that we live intricate and inextricable lives.
      How can we do right by others without wronging someone else? How do we stick to or change our principles and ideologies when we realize their benefits and costs?
      That's the complex nature of situations related to freedoms and safeguards. Many people seem to perceive a contradiction between the two in light of the pandemic, but freedom and safety aren't opposing ideas. Some people think the jab is better for community health and freedoms while other people think individual freedom and accountability for one's health is better for the community.
      Both are true. The true conflict of these two apparently disparate ideas depends on the practices used to balance these freedoms and safeguards. Otherwise this "controversy" would be notably weaker, and most people would reconcile most of the personal ideological differences existing in society.

      I really think there was time in 2020-2022 when it became a political stance. Unfortunately a lot of hate and weirdness was thrown around. I get people want to work, and they may have dismissed you due to not being able to tour a certain country. But outside that I don’t get it? The conversation should have still been open.

      ☑️ Exactly! Their decision to fire him wasn't based on science. It was about conforming to the stringent political and ideological dogma of the (corrupt) leftist/globalist elites. It's mind-blowing to me that in late 2021, a PhD educated person like their band leader could've STILL been blindly adhering to the discredited claims that "the vaccine will prevent you from contracting or transmitting the Covid virus"!
      By that time, we already knew that the so-called "vaccines" _only_ serve as a prophylactic treatment to reduce the symptoms of Covid, NOT to prevent it from being spread! Phizer has since admitted that they never even tested their "vaccine" to see if it was effective at preventing contraction or transmission!
      I'd say they owe their fired bandmate a major apology, although I wouldn't hold my breath. Ideological zealots rarely change their minds, even when it's clear they were wrong. Why do you think communism and fascism still exist!

So you definitely made the right decision a shame others saw dollars and not the person. Wish you well in all your future endeavours.

    "You must stick what I tell you to stick into your bloodstream or you can't work with us". What a world. (I'm totally unfamiliar with this band).
    It seems the tough Rock n Roll guys have gotten a little soft.

    No shit, I’ve never heard of this YT channel but it came up in my feed, and the subject matter was interesting to me, so I clicked on it. I’m literally 8 seconds in and just the fact that there’s a “warning info label” thing on it tells me exactly what I suspected. Funny that so many of the videos with discussions involving independent thought have these little “tags” on them. How ridiculous! BTW even before I watch this I’d like to say KUDOS to their s band member who held fast and stuck to his principles regardless of any potential repercussions (which is what I suspect he did). He’s my brother in independent spirit! Cheers, all!

    Imagine being smart and thinking an unvaccinated person is going to out a vaccinated person sick. So much for smart

    I had Guillain-Barré, which is pronounced with a hard G and sounds like Gee-on Barr-ay. Don’t blame him one fuckin bit for wanting to do anything and everything he can to avoid getting it again. It’s a horrible condition.

      He should have been isolating. I am sure he was advised to do so by the doctors. So, how does that work on tour buses, airplanes and trains overseas? Let's say they let him do what he wanted, then he got sick and died. That could mean a lawsuit.

      I don’t have all the answers, but it’s not letting him do what he wanted. It’s what the doctors recommended and gave him a medical exemption for. Not only that, but they said later in the video that they didn’t go anywhere that required the vaccine plus a bunch of other people on the tour said they weren’t vaccinated either.
      And then there’s the question of why not just hire a touring drummer, and then go back to him when you’re done with the tour?
      The fact is their explanation doesn’t hold up because it makes no sense.

    Well I use to l0ve the Offspring. Grew up listening to there music. Now I will not be listening to them and telling everyone to boycott the Offspring. It is so refreshing that people are standing for what is best for them . Not being pushed around. I never took the 💉. I only increase my immune system. By eating better, exercising. I even gave up drinking. Since alcohol is nothing but pure poison. SARS-COV2 did one great thing for me. Made me more knowledgeable and healthy.
