      Was a big offspring fan , but the way you were treated is as far removed from a punk/rock and roll attitude as you can get. It’s the attitude of big business, which iv actually nothing against, but it’s not a punk attitude . You don’t need me to tell you but, you were right standing your ground. Good luck with your new projects.

      Wow, after seeing this it’s not right. I got vaccinated and all that. Then after 3 years got real sick with it. Didn’t change a thing. When I got my second shot I was out cold for 5 days of work sick as I was with Covid.
      I really think there was time in 2020-2022 when it became a political stance. Unfortunately a lot of hate and weirdness was thrown around. I get people want to work, and they may have dismissed you due to not being able to tour a certain country. But outside that I don’t get it? The conversation should have still been open. But seems it was treated as an institution, with suits in front of it. Keep your head up man!

      That's the conflicted nature of righteousness. We get so accustomed to the apparent duality of right vs wrong that we often times forget that we live intricate and inextricable lives.
      How can we do right by others without wronging someone else? How do we stick to or change our principles and ideologies when we realize their benefits and costs?
      That's the complex nature of situations related to freedoms and safeguards. Many people seem to perceive a contradiction between the two in light of the pandemic, but freedom and safety aren't opposing ideas. Some people think the jab is better for community health and freedoms while other people think individual freedom and accountability for one's health is better for the community.
      Both are true. The true conflict of these two apparently disparate ideas depends on the practices used to balance these freedoms and safeguards. Otherwise this "controversy" would be notably weaker, and most people would reconcile most of the personal ideological differences existing in society.

    This is the day the Offspring died for me and they were my favourite band at one point in time. I was offered a free ticket to see them and knocked it back because I think they're wankers. It was obvious that it was going to become milder over time. The molecular biologist should have realised that. During COVID there was just an overwhelming need to be the most conspicuous, obedient example of conformity possible. Not what I want from my so-called Punk Rock bands 😂😂😂😂

      ☑️ Exactly! Their decision to fire him wasn't based on science. It was about conforming to the stringent political and ideological dogma of the (corrupt) leftist/globalist elites. It's mind-blowing to me that in late 2021, a PhD educated person like their band leader could've STILL been blindly adhering to the discredited claims that "the vaccine will prevent you from contracting or transmitting the Covid virus"!
      By that time, we already knew that the so-called "vaccines" _only_ serve as a prophylactic treatment to reduce the symptoms of Covid, NOT to prevent it from being spread! Phizer has since admitted that they never even tested their "vaccine" to see if it was effective at preventing contraction or transmission!
      I'd say they owe their fired bandmate a major apology, although I wouldn't hold my breath. Ideological zealots rarely change their minds, even when it's clear they were wrong. Why do you think communism and fascism still exist!

    He literally said it wasn't even our decision to be forced to get jabbed. But it was their choice to kick out their drummer. These guys are just owned in speaking for the big pharma.

    1:57 BS. Wasserman had no problem putting Pete's health at risk, with him having Guillan-Barre.

    I watched so many friends and family get the shot, got covid, and they seemed to have the hardest time getting over it. It took me 2 days to get over it. One of my kids took 24 hrs, one didn't have any symptoms and another was immune it seems. Just like Rage Against the Machine, the Offspring have shown their true colors and are full of shit

    Check out Joe Lynn Turner's single "Belly of the Beast"... He signs about this exact subject - the "poison juice"! True Rebels and Rock Icons! Respect to this drummer for standing his ground and not bending for the societal pressure, fear mongering and humiliation!

    That was the imposed narrative at the time, that doesn’t mean it was true as time has proven. Too bad a PhD in Biology did not use his knowledge. And that they felt it was better to dispose of a team musician and friend of so many years. That really speaks bad about them. They should apologize and financially compensate him for damages.

    I had Guillain-Barré, which is pronounced with a hard G and sounds like Gee-on Barr-ay. Don’t blame him one fuckin bit for wanting to do anything and everything he can to avoid getting it again. It’s a horrible condition.

      He should have been isolating. I am sure he was advised to do so by the doctors. So, how does that work on tour buses, airplanes and trains overseas? Let's say they let him do what he wanted, then he got sick and died. That could mean a lawsuit.

      I don’t have all the answers, but it’s not letting him do what he wanted. It’s what the doctors recommended and gave him a medical exemption for. Not only that, but they said later in the video that they didn’t go anywhere that required the vaccine plus a bunch of other people on the tour said they weren’t vaccinated either.
      And then there’s the question of why not just hire a touring drummer, and then go back to him when you’re done with the tour?
      The fact is their explanation doesn’t hold up because it makes no sense.

    The interview with the other members revealed everything in their wording. They were afraid of not towing the line & potentially losing out on profits. Disgusting people, the shots were just a barrier to dollars to them & they saw his non conformity as a risk to money.
