The 76 year old rocker detailed his experience in a letter to his friend Robin Monotti Graziadei.

Eric Clapton stated he had a "disastrous" reaction after taking the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine in February, 2021, which left him afraid he "would never play again."

"I took the first jab of AstraZeneca and straight away had severe reactions which lasted ten days," Clapton stated in the letter.

"I recovered eventually and was told it would be twelve weeks before the second one."

Clapton added that he was actually offered the second shot six weeks later, which he accepted despite his initial reaction as he had "a little more knowledge of the dangers."

"Needless to say the reactions were disastrous, my hands and feet were either frozen, numb or burning, and pretty much useless for two weeks, I feared I would never play again."

Clapton added that he suffered from peripheral neuropathy, which is described as a condition that results when nerves that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord from and to the rest of the body are damaged or diseased.

The rockstar admitted he "should've never gone near the needle," but the "propaganda said the vaccine was safe for everyone.

"I continue to tread the path of passive rebellion and try to tow the line in order to be able to actively love my family, but it's hard to bite my tongue with what I now know," the singer wrote.

Clapton released a new song titled This Has Gotta Stop in response to coronavirus health measures all over the United States.

Part of the lyrics of Clapton's song says: "This has gotta stop/Enough is enough/I can't take this b.s. any longer."

The musician seemingly seems to reference the side effects he felt from the vaccines, writing: "I knew that something was going on wrong/When you started laying down the law/I can't move my hands, I break out in sweat/I wanna cry, I can't take it anymore."

Eric Clapton announced the cancellation of upcoming tour dates after the legendary guitar player contracted COVID-19. Having gone public with the injury he suffered after receiving a COVID vaccination, Clapton became the object of much hostility from vaccine promoters.

As a result he has routinely been labeled an "anti-vaxxer," so it's not surprising that the online shitlib community reacted to the positive COVID diagnosis with unbridled glee.

Jimmy talks to The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal and American comedian Kurt Metzger about the unseemly and illogical pleasure taken by so many authoritarian Corporatist at Clapton's misfortune.
