Trace Adkins Tells Bill Maher He Doesn’t Buy Into COVID Vaccine Conspiracy Theories: Give Me A Vaccine For … – Whiskey Riff

Count Trace Adkins as one who has no regrets over taking the COVID vaccine.

Were over 3 years since the first vaccine for COVID-19 was rolled out, and the debate surrounding the vaccine is still raging as fierce as ever.

But one person whos not second-guessing his decision to get vaccinated is Trace Adkins.

The country star sat down with Bill Maher for an episode of hisClub Randon with Bill Maherpodcast and discussed his thoughts on the vaccine.

After admitting that hes gotten COVID twice despite being vaccinated, Maher jokingly asked Adkins whether he thought the vaccine had a chip in it to track him:

I dont buy into all that crap. Im like, Give me a vaccine for everything that youve got one for.

Ill take em. Im not scared of that sh*t.

Maher pointed out that Adkins likely wasnt scared because of all that hes been through, like getting shot in the heart:

I just dont think theyre trying to put something in the vaccines to control us. Give me a vaccine for everything.

Or that it makes us feminine or whatever? I didnt notice that either.

I mean, I know its 2024 but I dont think Adkins deep voice would ever be confused as feminine

During the interview, Adkins also came to the defense of Jason Aldean and Morgan Wallen, denying that either of the stars are racist and arguing that the attempts to cancel them have only made them bigger stars.

Maher admits that he had never heard much about Aldean before the controversy surrounding his hit song Try That In A Small Town, but that the entire controversy was a smear job.

The people who just want to get you are the ones who piss me off. And I felt like there was no smoking gun

Theres just different kinds of Americans. You cant bully the people who grew up in Tennessee or Louisiana into being you. It sounds like Jason Aldean, hes a country guy. This is the kind of sh*t hes into, and the kind of stuff he thinksYou cant bully people into not being who they are. And they are no worse than you.

And Adkins called the controversy silly, arguing that its actually helping Jason Aldean:

Its all so silly anyway. The grievance junkies turn on somebody and they try to cancel them, and all its gonna do, hes gonna sell more records than he ever has and its gonna make him bigger than hes ever been.

He had no idea, man. You know how many music videos Ive done that Ive called up the director and went, Hey man, now what about this location where were shooting this thing? And if I did do that it would only be because I didnt know where I was going.

Maher adds:

Its not the way to fight racism, by just making sh*t up to point your finger at somebody.

And he also brought up Morgan Wallen for his own controversy:

Maybe Im naive but I just dont think these people are racist.

It was a sentiment that Trace agreed with based on his own experience:

Ive been around both of those guys. Theyre good guys. Theyre not racist.

And he also joked that after seeing whats happened to Wallens career, hed be happy to be canceled:

He sold out two nights in a row, 55,000+ tickets each night. God, cancel ME.
