CNN medical correspondent Meg Tirrell recently tweeted that starting Monday, the US will make free home Covid tests, four per household, available for order once again. Peter Frampton took to X to respond to Tirell’s tweet and wrote:
“For those people whose lives are based on reality this is good to know.”
Frampton’s tweet was met with negative replies, one tweet in particular called Peter’s response ‘demented’ and even questioned the rocker’s perception of reality. L.A. Guns’ Tracii Guns defended Peter against the tweet and wrote:
“Because he is an educated human that doesn’t want to die from a virus that has killed millions of humans and has taken many vaccines his entire life including the current Covid vaccines that have not had an adverse affect on him.”
After sticking up for Frampton, the guitarist also wrote that his tweet was to inform the X user with the ‘correct’ information. He added:
“So he chooses his life experience and trusts science and not the advice of conspiracy theories. You don’t need to respond. This isn’t a conversation. I provided you with the correct answer.”
Rockers have shared where they stood with Covid and the vaccines over the past couple of years. Several names in the industry also were aligned with Peter and Tracii. Names like Gene Simmons, Alice Cooper and Sammy Hagar all got their doses while names like James Hetfield and Ted Nugent had reservations.
Nugent even called the vaccines an ‘experimental shot’ during a Facebook live stream. He said:
“Please call you mayor, your senator, your congressman and tell them we will not put up with this door-to-door forced vaccine. Let me tell you about that, there was a Nuremberg trial, they were trying to Nazis who experimented on human beings with experimental drugs like the current covid non-vaccine. It’s an experimental shot.”
