Offspring drummer out of the band after refusing to take COVID vaccine

Offspring drummer Pete Parada has a medical condition called Guillain-Barré Syndrome. This condition is “a rare disorder in which your body’s immune system attacks your nerves” according to the Mayo Clinic website.

After consulting with his doctor on if he should take the vaccine or not because of his condition, Pete Parada’s physician told him it would not be safe to get the jab at this time. Parada is following HIS physician’s instructions for his own health.

Parada’s bandmates of 14 years decided it was time to part ways with him because he was unable to get the vaccine. They said he was unsafe to be around and fired him from his position as the drummer.

There are countless folks (like me) for whom these shots carry a greater risk than the virus. Most of us don’t publicly share a private decision we made in careful consideration with our doctors. We know it’s not an easy conversation to unfold. 11/17
