Musician Eric Clapton is blaming vaccine “propaganda” after experiencing health issues post-vaccination. His story of reactions affecting his hands and feet after his first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine are now being amplified by groups known for spreading misinformation about vaccines. Clapton claims the government has made misleading claims about the vaccine’s safety, namely that the vaccine is not equally safe for all groups. While it appears Clapton’s claims of having an adverse reaction have merit, he has stated that he’s fully recovered. Nevertheless, anti-vaccine advocates are using his negative experience and outspoken frustration with public health measures to advance their own talking points.
