<p class="mol-para-with-font">Rock and roller Eric Clapton, a staunch anti-vaxxer, suggests anyone who has taken the COVID-19 vaccine is a victim of &#8220;mass formation hypnosis.&#8221;</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Last year, the singer, 76, claimed he suffered side effects after his AstraZeneca shots and he also released an anti-lockdown single, Stand And Deliver, with Van Morrison in 2020.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">In a new interview for The Real Music Observer YouTube <a class="class" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1SWen95pkU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener">channel</a>, Clapton said subliminal messaging hidden in advertising is leading people to get the vaccine.</p>
<p> &#8220;Whatever the memo was, it hadn&#8217;t reached me. Then I started to realize there was really a memo, and a guy, Mattias Desmet [professor of clinical psychology at Ghent University in Belgium], talked about it. And it&#8217;s great. The theory of mass formation hypnosis. And I could see it then. Once I kind of started to look for it, I saw it everywhere,&#8221; the singer of &#8220;Cocaine&#8221; said.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;Then I remembered seeing little things on YouTube which were like subliminal advertising. It had been going on for a long time: that thing about &#8216;you will own nothing and you will be happy.&#8217; And I thought, &#8216;What&#8217;s that mean?&#8217; And bit by bit, I put a rough kind of jigsaw puzzle together. And that made me even more resolute,&#8221; Clapton said.</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">Clapton said he chose to speak out in opposition because &#8220;my career had almost gone anyway. At the point where I spoke out it had been almost been 18 months since I&#8217;d been forcibly retired. &#8216;I joined forces with Van and I got the tip Van was standing up to the measures and I thought, &#8216;Why is nobody else doing this?&#8217; so I contacted him. He said, &#8216;I&#8217;m just objecting, really. But it seems like we&#8217;re not even allowed to do that. And nobody else is doing it.'&#8221;</p>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">&#8220;He sent me Stand and Deliver, which he&#8217;d already recorded. And it was during the process of talking about that with another musician, getting excited and sharing the news I found that nobody wanted to hear that.  I was mystified, I seemed to be the only person that found it exciting or even appropriate. I&#8217;m cut from a cloth where if you tell me I can&#8217;t do something, I really want to know why,&#8221; Clapton said.</p>
<p>The four-and-a-half minute blues song includes some harsh lyrics.</p>
<p>“Do you wanna&#8217; be a free man or do you wanna be a slave?” Clapton, the former Cream guitarist, sings in the song. “Do you wanna&#8217; wear these chains until you’re lying in the grave?”</p>
<p>Other lyrics include: “Magna Carta, Bill of Rights/ The constitution, what’s it worth?/ You know they’re gonna&#8217; grind us down, ah/ Until it really hurts/ Is this a sovereign nation/ Or just a police state?/ You better look out, people/ Before it gets too late.”</p>
<p>The song ends with Clapton singing, “Dick Turpin wore a mask too,” a reference to an 18th century highwayman who wore a mask to hide his identity as he committed crimes.</p>
