Alternative headline: Eric Clapton refuses to play venues that aren't open to all concertgoers. Nothing to prevent a vaccinated concertgoer from attending, so what's the problem?

And another one: Eric Clapton doesn't care about the health and safety of his fans; is 100% willing to risk their safety from the distant safety of his stage act.

I’ll pose the question again: As a country, society, and humanity as a whole, where do we end this- with everyone vaccinated or seasonally controlled like influenza? Once that light is clear, everything else will figure itself out.

We don't. Nature is great at self maintenance, much like forest fires we have to let it clear out the dead wood, and suffer when we don't let it. We don't like that because we like to espouse every life is precious and to accept the alternative stabs a whole lotta sacred cows.

Eric Clapton isn't forcing people to attend his concerts. Anyone can judge the risk for themselves.

Good. No young people should be "required" to take the vaccine. Freedom of choice and respect of the body first.

No one, certainly not any club, is requiring young people to get the vaccine. They're simply saying, as you are, that they have freedom of choice and that choice is to deny unvaccinated patrons from entering.

If you are for freedom of choice on one end, you should also be for freedom of choice on the other end.

So first its not freedom of choice its the government who impose that.

Secondly at the end businesses and governments follow the majority opinion.. And for that, I support Clapton to put pressure on clubs and voice his opinion
