KISS frontman Gene Simmons took to Twitter to brutally shame those who are unvaccinated against COVID-19, calling them the “enemy”. The rock icon also took aim at Republicans and Democrats in his rant.
Jerry. I’m calling you out. You’re a moron talking through your ass. I took Pfizer vaccine twice. I did get Covid, but no side effects. The vaccine saved my life…Hey Loser, nice profile foto, by the way. https://t.co/bVofBnHZOz

Gene Simmons: Unvaccinated People ‘Are An Enemy’
“If you’re willing to walk among us unvaccinated, you are an enemy,” Simmons, 72, said while being interviewed on “TalkShopLive.”
“I don’t care about your political beliefs,” he added. “You don’t have the right to go through a red light — actually the government has the right to tell you to stop.”
“If they tell you you can’t smoke in a building, you can’t smoke in a building. And that’s not because they want to take away your rights — that’s because the rest of us hate it. We don’t want to smell your smoke,” Simmons continued. “I don’t want to catch your disease. I don’t want to risk my life just because you want to go through a red light. This whole idea, this delusional, evil idea that you get to do whatever you want and the rest of the world be damned is really terrible.”

‘Politics Are The Enemy’
Not stopping there, Simmons condemned both Republicans and Democrats alike as being “evil” for spreading what he described as “all kinds of nonsense.”
“I don’t like either one of them. Politics are the enemy. Humanism and humanity is what we should all be concerned about. Love thy neighbor as thyself,” Simmons said. “For God’s sakes, if I’m going to yawn in your presence, I’m going to put my hand up in front of my mouth. Yawning is not a life threatening event. You having COVID might be a life threatening event, and I don’t want to catch it.”
After saying that over 5 million people around the globe have died due to COVID-19, a stat that comes from Johns Hopkins University, Simmons compared COVID-19 deniers to “Flat Earth Society people.”
“No b****, they died because they got COVID,” he said crudely.
Gene Simmons Criticizes Aaron Rodgers
Simmons concluded his rant with a seeming reference to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week after not being vaccinated against the virus.
“I don’t care if you play football or not — stay away from evil people who don’t care about your health,” Simmons said.
This isn’t the first time that Gene Simmons has blasted the unvaccinated, as he also did so last month.
“Get over yourself,” Simmons said as he addressed vaccine opponents, according to The New York Post. “We’re not concerned if you agree with it or not. We’re concerned about you making us sick. So get your goddamn COVID shot and protect other people from getting your stuff.”
