It’s now the anti-vaxxers vs. The Foo Fighters

You may have heard by now that the Foo Fighters are set to play a maskless, full-capacity gig at Madison Square Garden next weekend. This will be the first such show at MSG since March 2020. The catch? Everyone who wants to go has to provide proof they’ve had two jabs of a COVID vaccine.

This is causing a backlash by anti-vaxxers. They have taken to social media to complain about feeling excluded and discriminated against. The NME captured a few.

First, this guy got the date wrong before complaining.

Foo Fighters, a band I've long admired, just held a concert for the jabbed only.

That's every album & play list with them on, consigned to the bin.

This person believes can be equated to a form of racism.

I’ll never buy another ticket to a @foofighters concert.

Not all people that choose to NOT vaccinate are conspiracy theorists. Some people, very close to me, have autoimmune conditions that make the vaccine a high risk proposition.

“Vaccine mandatory” is 2021’s “whites only.” https://t.co/LDuwzw140V

And one more. I think they meant “threat.”

Can someone explain to me how an unvaccinated person is a thread to a vaccinated person? Scary that we now have different rules for people based on their vaccination status. Sad.

The pro-Foos tweets seem to far outnumber the ones from anti-vaxxers. That’s something, at least.
