      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.

      ☑️ 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!

So you definitely made the right decision a shame others saw dollars and not the person. Wish you well in all your future endeavours.

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?

    During the pandemic many people in my family announced to a minority of our family that the unvaxxinated of our family were not going to be welcome at the annual family Christmas gathering... First time I didn't spend time with my family for the holidays, hard to forgive but if I don't I'm just as sanctimonious as they were

    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.

      Logically making sense went out of the window at the beginning of 2020. Apparently we have different ways of making decisions as a society now.

    I had my ticket for The Offspring show in Dublin going to see them for the first time finally as I don't like festivals they play through England. Then government guidelines hit. I was made aware that without vacation, no entry. No way. Damn. So, the test was not enough for them. I had to get the refund. I didn't care about the refund. I wanted to see my favourite band for the first time. Covid was something that affected many lives differently. I'm not saying it's not serious. I had it and was in a bad state feeling like dying for 3 weeks. But come on, let people do their own decisions regarding this. You want to protect yourself, you get vaccinated and all, if you don't then, have your freedom. Anyway. Shame I haven't see them and also they had to let Pete go just coz of this.
