Eric Clapton is doubling down on his criticisms of COVID-19 safety protocols, arguing that those who are getting vaccinated are victims of subliminal advertising by pharmaceutical companies on social media.
The 17-time Grammy winner made the eyebrow-raising claim in a video interview with The Real Music Observer that first appeared on YouTube last week. In it, he was asked about his decision to team up with Van Morrison, another vaccine skeptic, on the 2020 single Stand and Deliver, which compared COVID-19 lockdowns to slavery.
Whatever the memo was, it hadnt reached me, Clapton said. Then I realized there really was a memo a guy, Mattias Desmet, has talked about it. Its great, you know, the theory of mass hypnosis formation. And I could see it, once I kind of started to look for it.
I saw it everywhere, he continued. And then I remembered seeing little things on YouTube, which were like subliminal advertising. Its been going on for a long time that thing of you will own nothing and you will be happy.

(14,962 posts)The thing that Mattias Desmet claims is going on -- a claim which is bullshit in every conceivable way, btw -- is "mass formation psychosis" not "mass hypnosis formation." Clapton can't even parrot his bullshit correctly.

I hate the guy so much that he makes me want to hate Layla too.
But, I can't. I guess she's got me on my knees.
