Brad Paisley says it's 'patriotic' to get the coronavirus vaccine, blames 'Hollywood elite' for hesitancy

Brad Paisley believes it is his “patriotic” duty to encourage his fans to get the coronavirus vaccine as soon as possible.

The "Whiskey Lullaby" singer noted that he believes Americans in smaller communities will step up and get the vaccine once they understand how vital it is to protecting their friends, family and neighbors.  "I feel like knowing my people, where I come from, I’m from West Virginia," he told the outlet. "A small town of 1200 people, this is the kind of community where immediately if a house is on fire, before the fire department can get there, there are a lot of people with buckets trying to put the fire out already. They band together, they do what it takes to help their neighbor. So all my fans… They are seeing disinformation everywhere, and they are being told that the water doesn’t put the fire out. So it is a really strange thing to try to be louder than that disinformation."
