A way to reframe Kim’s tweet in a form that makes sense (at least in a US context) is to ask whether full FDA approval, when it comes, will move the needle (no pun intended) in terms of persuading a certain segment of the vaccine-hesitant population to get the shots. The timeframe for this has been a big topic of discussion, though, not something no one is discussing (per her follow-up tweet) – so maybe I’m putting the wrong words in her mouth.

Charles Hayward (drummer of This Is Not This Heat):
So sad to see Charles Hayward join the Covid Cranks. The conspiricist mindset has been there for a while, but one of my favourite musicians seems to be going the full Icke.Tragic.— Richard Sanderson (@Richard_Linear) July 24, 2021

Nena ('99 Luftballons') has been at it again. Having previously supported the German anti-lockdown, coronavirus-skeptic 'Querdenker' movement and endorsed music by conspiracy theorist Xavier Naidoo, she encouraged her fans at a concert in Berlin yesterday to ignore the Covid-19 regulations and come closer to the stage. Nena then challenged the organisers to switch off the electricity, but instead they just cancelled her encore.
Beim heutigen Konzert von #Nena in #Berlin wird gedroht das, das Konzert abgebrochen wird, weil wie ihr seht, niemand eine Maske aufhat oder Abstand gehalten wird.Und Nena opfert genauso herum wie #Querdenken. pic.twitter.com/FgjdZciMep— Michael Mayr (Schlechter Mensch - Bodo S.)

A small update
I have removed the post where I name a certain drummer who has shifted over to the dark side, and considers the vaccination programme to be an extension of Nazi experimentation. I have done this because he has taken down the particularly offensive "Nuremburg" post -— Richard Sanderson (@Richard_Linear) July 25, 2021

Perhaps realising that holding such views could be more detrimental to your career than a pandemic.In the process I have lost several friends.😐When friends start saying things that sound exactly like the stuff coming out of Trafalgar Square yesterday, they should be called out— Richard Sanderson (@Richard_Linear) July 25, 2021

he's a genuinely strange dude on the order of Prince so it wouldn't surprise me if he was some kind of Covid truther. everything he's said on the subject has been super vague, stuff like "everything you've been told is a lie" and "the truth is out there". which I think has been a theme of a bunch of his stuff, as it always seems deeply wrapped in sci-fi and conspiracy shit - he's done stuff about the moon landing being faked and an entire album about alchemy, afaik he doesn't necessarily believe any of this but he's deeply fascinated with it. I mean he does sell Covid masks on his website...

Akhenaton, French rapper and member of legendary hip hop collective IAM, a year ago: 'I'm skeptical as to the real danger this virus represents'.
Akhenaton a few weeks ago: fuck vaccines, fuck vaccine passports, we should be allowed to welcome whoever we want at our concerts.
Akhenaton a few days ago: oops, I tested positive.
Akhenaton today: *in ICU*.

Dunno if this guy feuding with Jason Isbell is a full Covidiot, but he sure has some Covidiot bad takes here:
“The unclean may not attend. The poor may not attend. The ignorant may not attend.” Who knew Jason was so bourgois? Thought he was a blue collar type of guy.

I don’t know who Broussard is (and I barely know Isbell), but that’s a pretty fierce tweet… Isbell doesn’t sound like a guy you want to f with.

Broussard is a full idiot. His argument was ‘wut about workin men who can’t afford the risks of taking the vaccine.’

Which is a bad hill to die on because
You took a personal shot at another musician, casting him as "bourgois" and "elite", in contrast to you and your "working class fans."

Smart move of Broussard to pick a culture war battle with a bigger name, he can sing Sam Cooke covers for anti-vaxxers for a long time to come.
― Joe Bombin (milo z), Friday, 6 August 2021 19:00 (two years ago) link
This is also a hot take
I know I have some working class fans who can’t afford the risks associated with either the vaccines or even getting a test. An adverse side effect or a positive result could mean loss of wages which could be devastating for someone who’s finances are already tight.— Marc Broussard (@MarcBroussard) August 6, 2021
