“Given my personal medical history and the side-effect potential of these jabs, my doctor has advised me not to get a shot at this time,” Parada said in an Instagram post.

The 48-year-old drummer added that he got Covid about a year ago and had only mild symptoms. He said he’s more concerned about “another post-vaccination round of Guillain-Barre Syndrome,” which he’s had since childhood.
