According to Stereogum, Aphex Twin discussed the Covid-19 pandemic, back in 2020, to voice his concerns with vaccines. Although he stated he did not believe the pandemic was made-up, he did add comments on his concerns with human rights and maintaining certain freedom. Although those were his direct comments back in the day, Aphex Twin has found himself in a predicament where he has to clarify his opinions.
Stereogum mentions how the musician went online to clarify what hw perceived to be a misrepresentation of his opinion on vaccines. The “original” report made the artist seem like he was fully against vaccines and they were monstrous with the intent to cause cancer, etc. In his clarification, he claims that people will bring you down when you reach fame, because it is an inevitable aspect of the job. Nevertheless, he mentions how he is not fully against vaccines and he encourages people to look at them from a “case-by-case basis” and to conduct further research.
Many may or may not believe Aphex Twin in his clarification. Whatever the case may be, it is clear that the musician is firm on defending his opinions and perspectives, and he is also very willing to use his voice to speak up for himself. Even when he clarifies his personal perspective regarding vaccines, he emphasizes his audience to do their individual research without forcing his personal beliefs onto others.
