Offspring Drummer: I Was Kicked Out Of The Band For Refusing Coronavirus Vaccine

Pete Parada said he's worried the vaccine can worsen his Guillain-Barré Syndrome.

Pete Parada, drummer for The Offspring, says he’s out of the band because he won’t get vaccinated to protect against the coronavirus. Parada, who’s handled the sticks for the band for nearly 15 years, wrote on Instagram:  “I caught the virus over a year ago, it was mild for me — so I am confident I’d be able to handle it again, but I’m not so certain I’d survive another post-vaccination round of Guillain-Barré Syndrome, which dates back to my childhood and has evolved to be progressively worse over my lifetime.”
