Gene Simmons Blasts Unvaxxed 'Evil,' 'Delusional' Aaron Rodgers

You are not allowed to infect anybody just because you think you've got rights that are delusional," the frontman for KISS said, as he ripped all anti-vaxxers.

"You are not allowed to infect anybody just because you think you've got rights that are delusional," the frontman for KISS said, as he ripped all anti-vaxxers.

Simmons says his pro-vaxxism is not political. “I don't care about your political beliefs,” he said during an interview on “TalkShopLive.”

He likened vaccine mandates to traffic lights, seatbelt laws and banning smoking in public buildings. "If they tell you you can't smoke in a building, you can't smoke in a building. And that's not because they want to take away your rights, that's because the rest of us hate it. We don't want to smell your smoke," he said.

But, he's been pretty open minded socially.
He believes all that "job creator" nonsense, but he's not a hyperventilating right winger.

But anyways, good for him.

He's often a dipshit, but here he's 100% correct.

tech to go unvaxxed. The guy died. They fired the person in charge of their Covid protocols on their tour after one day. Do better. 🤷‍♀️. I knew Kiss would never play Trump's inauguration because he wouldn't pay.
