Gene Simmons of Kiss
For those fully jabbed.
He salutes you..
“If you’re willing to walk among us unvaccinated, you are an enemy. I don’t care about your political beliefs
“You are not allowed to infect anybody just because you think you’ve got rights that are delusional
“You don’t have the right to go through a red light — actually the government has the right to tell you to stop
“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.
“I don’t want to catch your disease. I don’t want to risk my life just because you want to go through a red light. This whole idea, this delusional, evil idea that you get to do whatever you want and the rest of the world be damned is really terrible.”
Gene Simmons, Kiss
Gulp.
That’s a lengthy tongue-lashing.
Any excuse.

idiots can be right sometimes, isn’t that why we’re all here?
I won’t comment on his COVID views though, I’ve never had much confidence in ‘stars’ unless there is overwhelming evidence in the positive camp. Currently reading about John Cena’s ‘Make A Wish’ work and genuinely have tears in my eyes about the positive effect he’s had on people.
In other words, KISS is selling bags of air (i.e., nothing). The tiny, empty plastic bags raked in millions for the band, proving Gene Simmons is either the biggest troll or the most genius businessman of all time.
– sounds pretty smart to me Micko
You’re just giving away hot air here for nothing every day man
I never said he wasn’t smart.
But, come here to me (new person I’ve never interacted with before), is this the bit were we go back and forth for a while and you slag me and I slag you and we both try to outdo each other in a vain attempt to show how smart we are to others on Broadsheet – and then we both eventually leave the conversation feeling a little bit worse about ourselves inside and about the world and humanity in general?
Coz, I’m not feeling like that today. How about you?
Poster concludes long, pointless monologue to say he doesn’t wish to waffle on endlessly.
“new person I’ve never interacted with before” – it is funny that Micko has this weird sense of self importance when this is just a comments section on website.
That’s nice Brian
If Mr Simmons think that people being vaccinated is going to give others protection, he is the one who is being delusional.
The vaccine is designed to protect the person receiving it, not anyone else.
He’s got some good and bad points. Imagine if people were this precious about body autonomy in the 1950’s when Polio vaccinations were mandatory? It would still be around today.
Yes I know, different disease, different nature to it. We are just lucky that this outbreak is not as serious as something like Polio. Successful public health requires conformity, unfortunately for some who feel differently, but that’s life in an ever more populated world.
Polio is still around today – also “polio” was a disease caused by multiple sources, not just a virus.
The US stopping spraying DDT on children likely had a big effect on reducing polio-like disease.
Okay Small Pox. Same point applies.
Where is Polio still active like it was in the 50’s?

Covid is more deadly than polio was.
Not to children
he’d be right if the vaccine worked
Vaccinated vs unvaccinated is very much politicalised in the US with the majority of vaccinated being democrats and the majority of unvaccinated being republicans. Thankfully from an irish perspective we have very few anti-science politicians so that’s good.
In a recent Gallup poll 41% of Democrats replied that at least 50% of unvaccinated people have been hospitalized due to COVID-19. How does such a large population get it so very wrong?
He’s a big libertarian so its a bit surprising. But actually him being a libertarian is just motivated by his own selfishness not any desire to stand up for the rights of other so I suppose not.
Another ignorant fool who’s been misled in so many ways.
He obviously thinks the vaccines don’t work to stop serious illness and death. He also thinks the unvaccinated are somehow all going around carrying covid with them. Madness.
His Firestarter cover video gave me the horn.
Kiss my bottom.
“You are not allowed to infect anybody just because you think you’ve got rights that are delusional”…yes it’s others who are delusional.
Gene doesn’t seem aware of the fact vaccinated people are also infecting others. Does he think they have special rights that allow them to do so but not the unvaccinated? He really is an awful clown.
It’s quite possible prominent media figures are receiving hush endorsements from Pfizer et al – 50k to say X. If you don’t think they’re capable, you’ve never worked in media.
How are Kiss still a thing…. makes the Rolling Stones still touring look like a sensible idea…
