KISS is perhaps a sophisticated musical band with sophisticated costumes and sophisticated album names like Lick It Up. But there’s nothing sophisticated about what Gene Simmons, co-singer and co-founder of KISS, just said about politicians, anti-vaxxers and the unvaccinated in the United States. While a guest on Wednesday’s episode of “TalkShopLive,” Simmons said, “If you’re willing to walk among us without being vaccinated, you’re an enemy. “in particular, referring to not being vaccinated against the Covid-19 coronavirus, you know that virus that caused the ongoing pandemic.
Now, “enemy” is not a fancy word. You don’t normally call something like pineapple on pizza, other people leaving the toilet seat up, or even the guy dressed in a Speedo on the beach “the enemy. “It has to be a primary risk to others. So why not getting vaccinated can be a top risk for others?Isn’t getting vaccinated against covid-19 just a “user’s choice,” as some anti-vaccine politicians and social media say?accounts have claimed?
Well, getting vaccinated against Covid-19 may be a “personal choice” if you decide to live alone on an island and, more importantly, stay on that island. Otherwise, as long as you have a nose and mouth and interact with other people without wearing a face mask, the resolution to get vaccinated or not is a resolution for everyone around you. This is illustrated by the fact that Simmons’ interview with host Steve Harkins followed so temporarily to talk about the unvaccinated.
In this case, “so fast” meant right after the presentation. Once Harkins first analyzed Simmons’ many accomplishments, he began the interview by asking Simmons about the just-completed KISS Kruise XI. KISS Kruise XI would possibly look like a relative of Tom Cruise. But it was really a trip from October 29 to November 2, 2021 aboard the Norwegian Jewel ship that featured live performances by KISS.
The unvaccinated arrive quickly because they are like a gigantic hole in society’s pants. Nowadays, you can’t do anything without noticing it and being affected by them. Simmons noted that to come on a cruise, or Kruise, “you had to have been vaccinated. I don’t care about their political beliefs. He is not allowed to infect anyone just because he believes he has rights that are delusional. This made sense because other unvaccinated people would possibly be in a particularly high threat of becoming inflamed. with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), as I covered in the past for Forbes.
As you have seen, protesters opposing covid-19 vaccination mandates have claimed that such demands violate their “rights” and “freedoms. “Luz, in fact, the government has the right to tell you to stop. “
He went on to use the example, “If they tell you you can’t smoke in a building, you can’t smoke in a building. And it’s not because they need to take away your rights. That’s because the rest of us hate it. “We don’t need to smell its smoke.
Simmons went on to point out that covid-19 is rarely just one kind of inconvenience. It killed more than 759,000 people in the United States and left many with persistent medical problems. I don’t need to threaten my life just because you need to run a red light. This total concept, this delusional and evil concept that you can do whatever you need to and the rest of the world is doomed is terrible. In other words, other people have the freedom and right to be protected from the Covid-19 coronavirus.
Simmons also criticized the politicization of the pandemic, arguing that Democrats and Republicans are “bad” and to blame. “I don’t like either,” Simmons said, referring to America’s two major political parties. “Politics is the enemy. ” Humanism and humanity is what we are all involved in. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Simmons said, “I don’t care if you play football or not, stay away from other bad people who don’t care. . . [ ] your health. “Did he mean #12 Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers? (Photo via Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
In addition, Simmons spoke about football: “I don’t care if you play football or not, stay away from other bad people who don’t care about your health. “Well, why was he, or perhaps Aaron, wrong in mentioning football?Could that be a reference to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers?Rodgers said in August that he was “immune,” but last week revealed he had not won the covid-19 vaccine, as he covered for Forbes on Tuesday.
Not surprisingly, political social media accounts attacked Simmons after his remarks. This included several anonymous accounts. For example, Simmons responded to what he tweeted via an unnamed, imageless Twitter account created in August 2021:
And this Twitter account had one with Simmons, with Sesame Street’s Big Bird:
Although Simmons continually sang the KISS hit Calling Dr. Love, at no point in the interview did Simmons act as if he knew more than genuine doctors. Or public fitness experts. And it’s doctors and public fitness experts who consult the reaction to the pandemic, not politicians with other agendas, whether Democrats or Republicans. The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic is a clinical and public fitness genuineness. It has been and will be the kiss of death and more suffering.
