His response is to urge the public not to get vaccinated. This makes no sense, and is dangerous. <\/p>\n<p>Clapton was a drug addict for years before cleaning himself up and becoming a rehab advocate. But the damage he did to his body is unknown. And the effect of any medication on him would be certainly much different than the average healthy human being. <\/p>\n<p>What he\u2019s doing now is dangerous and stupid. He\u2019s issued a second anti-vax single, this one called This Has Gotta Stop. He\u2019s right: what has to stop his idiotic behavior and poor judgement. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also a very poorly thought out lyric in this song. One of the lines is \u201cThinking of my kids, what\u2019s left of them.\u201d Clapton\u2019s son, Conor, died famously, tragically falling out a window at age 4 in 1991. Clapton subsequently had a hit single, one of the biggest of his career, \u201cTears in Heaven.\u201d That line in the song seems very glib and kind of cruel. <\/p>\n<p>My own father died last December from COVID before there was a vaccine. I wish to God he\u2019d lived long enough to get the shots. I do find the anti-vaxxers completely repulsive in their selfishness and short sightedness. When I raced to get my mother her vaccination last March I had no idea that there might be people who would be against it. But mental illness has overtaken our society in many realms. That\u2019s what\u2019s gotta stop. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Eric Clapton - This Has Gotta Stop (Official Music Video)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dNt4NIQ7FTA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<footer class=\"clearfix\">&#13;<\/p>\n<div class=\"author-box-wrap\">\n<h5 class=\"h5-caps-title\">Author<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/21e5ba9a17931f5b774c4f9755d50a7c?s=106&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/21e5ba9a17931f5b774c4f9755d50a7c?s=212&amp;d=mm&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-106 photo\" height=\"106\" width=\"106\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"desc\">\n<p>Roger Friedman began his Showbiz411 column in April 2009 after 10 years with Fox News, where he created the Fox411 column.
