M.I.A. has joined the ranks of the anti-vaccination movement, it seems.

The singer and activist, 44, made the comments on Twitter Wednesday, starting off with “If I have to choose the vaccine or chip I’m gonna choose death.”

“In America they made me vaccinate my child before the school admission,” she added. “It was the hardest thing. To not have choice over this as a mother. I never wanna feel that again. He was so sick for 3 weeks then Docs had to pump him with antibiotics to reduce the fever from 3 [vaccines].”

The singer, née Mathangi Arulpragasam, has one son, Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman, 11, with her ex-fiancé, Benjamin Bronfman.

In a now-deleted tweet, she “clarified” her reasoning: “Most of science is in bed with business. Business is in bed with banks, banks are in bed with tech, tech’s in bed with us, [we’re] in bed with corona. Corona is in bed with science. So on …”

Other choice soundbites included: “Have a healthy life! Don’t live in fear!” and the following:

“Don’t panic you are ok. You are not gonna die. You can make it without stressing the medical systems. Just breathe. You are going to be ok. You can make it through without jumping in the frying pan. You are fine …”

Unfortunately, there’s no vaccine for malapropisms.
