Slipknot singer Corey Taylor slammed COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy theorists and talked about his feelings on mandating shots at his concerts.
and hospitalizations are among those who are unvaccinated, Taylor said he doesn't have time for the nonsense, noting that Americans can't travel to certain countries and children can't attend schools without proper vaccination. “The fact that [vaccines] have been demonized, almost to the point of these gnarly conspiracy theories, no wonder why people are afraid of it -- because they’re listening to the wrong people.
