Eric Clapton Feels 'Ostracized' By Friends Over His COVID Views - Ultimate Classic Rock

“I’ve tried to reach out to fellow musicians,” the famed guitarist explained during an interview with YouTube channel Oracle Films.

Despite having a “terrible fear of needles,” Clapton reluctantly received the AstraZeneca vaccine earlier this year “for my kids.” The guitarist encountered severe reactions to the shots, including fever, trouble sleeping and strong painful feelings in his hands and feet.

And I could feel that everywhere,” the guitarist declared, noting that he even felt rejected within his own family.

But I don’t really feel educated enough to know enough about either of these areas.”
