Offspring drummer Pete Parada says he's out of the band after refusing to get vaccinated.
Offspring drummer Pete Parada shared on social media that because he won't get the COVID-19 vaccine, he is no longer part of the band.
The 48-year-old said he was revealing what happened "so that anyone else experiencing the agony and isolation of getting left behind right now — knows they're not entirely alone." According to Parada, he caught COVID-19 last year, and "it was mild for me, so I am confident I'd be able to handle it again, but I'm not so confident I'd survive another post-vaccination round of Guillain-Barre Syndrome, which dates back to my childhood and has evolved to be progressively worse over my lifetime."

Parada said his doctor advised him against getting the vaccine due to his "personal medical history and the side-effect profile of these jabs," and since he is "unable to comply with what is increasingly becoming an industry mandate — it has recently been decided that I am unsafe to be around, in the studio, and on tour.
