In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, country musician Jason Aldean candidly discussed his reasons for not receiving the COVID-19 vaccine and avoided addressing questions regarding election fraud surrounding President Joe Biden's presidency.
Aldean, known for his support of former President Donald Trump, expressed his admiration for Trump and shared that he wouldn't mind seeing him back on the ballot as the Republican party's nominee in the upcoming presidential election. "It wouldn't hurt my feelings. I like Trump. Hung out with him a couple times - been very cool to me," he revealed. "I have nothing but good things to say about the guy."
When approached about the legitimacy of Biden's presidency, Aldean initially stated that it depends on who is asked and later brushed off the question, considering it "old news" and emphasizing that Biden has held the position for the past three years.
Aldean's political beliefs appear to have influenced his decision not to get vaccinated. He referenced the differing stances on the vaccine between Trump and Biden, noting that Trump supported its development while Biden initially expressed concerns. "This was a vaccine that Trump was pushing at the end of his office and Biden was saying, 'Oh, don't do it - it's too soon,'" Aldean explained. "Then as soon as Biden gets in: 'Everybody get the shot.'"
While acknowledging that he is a healthy individual, Aldean stated that he decided to refrain from getting vaccinated due to uncertainty surrounding the situation. "I don't really know what's going on here, so I'm just gonna stay away from it. That's what I decided to do, and I'm very happy with my decision," he said.
Aldean's political leanings often align with those who support him, evident in the response to his polarizing song "Try That in a Small Town" and its music video. He expressed appreciation for conservative supporters who understood the message behind the song, which he believes resonated with middle America and the working-class.
As the country heads into another presidential election year, Aldean's commentary on politics and his decision to forgo vaccination are likely to stir debate and further discussions on the intersectionality of music, personal beliefs, and public health.
It is important to note that receiving the COVID-19 vaccine is recommended by leading health authorities worldwide as an effective measure in reducing the risk of severe illness and preventing the spread of the virus.
