According to Parada’s Instagram post, The American rock band has pulled Parada out for not getting vaccinated for COVID. According to the musician, he did not get himself vaccinated because of his medical reasons. He wrote, “Given my personal medical history and the side effect profile of these jabs, my doctor has advised me not to get a shot at this time.”
He further said that he had “no negative feelings” towards the other band members, and that they are doing what they think is suitable for them, while he is also doing the same.
Pete had previously revealed that he has a rare autoimmune disorder, Guillain Barre syndrome, And Mr nervous system of a person is affected and damaged. He said that the effects of the syndrome have gotten “progressively worse” over his lifetime.

The drummer had previously contacted COVID-19 almost a year ago with mild symptoms and believes that if such a calamity happens in the future, he’ll be able to handle it again.
Pete wrote,
It looks like half the population is having a shockingly different reaction to these jabs than we expected-it’s probably because their life experiences have been shockingly different, and the reasons range from a conscientious risk belief analysis, to the financial inability to take time of work lack of healthcare in the event of potential side effects, do an understandable distrust in a system that has never prioritized the health or well being of their communities.
Last week, a warning was added to the new Johnson & Johnson vaccine, stating there was an association between the Janssen vaccine and the increased risk of Guillain Barre syndrome. However, according to the FDA, there has been no such association with the Pfizer biotech coved 19 or moderna vaccines.
