Eric Clapton refuses to play venues that require proof of vaccination

He can refuse to play for any reason he can think up, just like any of us can refuse work for any reason we can come up with

As long as Eric is not vaccinated then it's ok.

People deciding the conditions of their own contractual labor is always okay. He doesn't need your permission.

You would hate to look like a hypocrite though, or even someone who was pumping the antivax crowd for ticket sales.

Why would he be a hypocrite? He is against passively forcing people to vaccinate. That doesn't mean he doesn't think vaccination might be helpful.

I am vaccinated and I think this is awesome. No further comment.

This belongs on Redit not Hacker News.

Somehow this phrase has become a catch-all insult I've seen often at hacker news, yet it lacks meaning.
