While I was a fan of his music collaborations with Jim Steinman, he was very outspoken about his views regarding the pandemic. Jan 21 22 09:28 am Link Sad indeed. RIP Meat Loaf. I dont know the facts regarding his death, or anything about his vaccine stance. If he died because of ignorance it is even more sad. But I know too many people have died unnecessarily in this pandemic. The anti-vaxxers have their beliefs - as scientifically unfounded as they are, they "believe" them... I am NOT not defending them in any way, but at least they are acting out of heartfelt "belief". Sometimes you just cant fix stupid. But there is a special place in hell for the media types- Tucker Carlson leading the list - who have consistently been given the facts by well qualified experts--- and have chosen to promote "alternate facts" for purely GREEDY reasons- Carlson does his shtick for RATINGS- Rogan does his show for RATINGS they seek the almighty dollar and dont give damn who dies as long as the $$$dollars$$$ roll in.
