KISS‘ Gene Simmons has once again called out those who are sceptical about getting the coronavirus vaccine.The bassist has long been a staunch advocate for the vaccine, and in a new interview he’s explained that he’s still of the opinion that anti-vaxxers are posing a risk to themselves and to all those around them.“Look, I’ve always been a safe guy. I’ve never been run over by a car. But then whenever I get to the street corner, I do what I was taught, which is look both ways, cross at the green, not in between, and all that stuff.
So cars never hit me — surprise!” he told iHollywoodTV.“The pandemic is the same thing. You’ve gotta get a flu shot. If you go to school, you get all kinds of… A polio shot, all kinds of shots.
Which may not be life-threatening. The pandemic and COVID could be life-threatening, especially if you have predisposed other diseases, you could die.“A million Americans have died. Close to 10million worldwide have died because of this.
I know the conspiracy idiots are telling you that it’s not true — it is. So I got vaccinated twice, then had a booster, and I’m about to get another boost.”“This is gonna be a fact of life. Every year I go and get my flu vaccine — I get the shots.
Because even though flu might not be life-threatening, I don’t wanna deal with the headaches and stuff.”Simmons then went on to recall how he contracted COVID last year, which forced KISS to postpone several shows, but because he had taken the vaccine he wound up being fine.“As a statement of fact, I did get COVID. We got off tour. All of us are vaccinated, and even though I was vaccinated, you can get COVID,” he said.
