Singer Sebastian Bach recently revealed that he tested positive for the COVID-19, and credits the vaccine for why he's feeling so good.
"Listen to science," Bach told CNN in a recent interview. "...I don't understand politicizing medicine, it doesn't make sense to me. So my advice to the fans is get the vaccine. You don't want polio right?"
"So people get the vaccine for that. You don't want COVID. If I didn't have the vaccine I would be terrified."

"I feel 100 percent and that’s the message that I want the fans or anybody listening to this to know is that, because I was vaccinated, I didn’t have to go to the hospital," Bach told KNX 1070. "My symptoms were only that I had a fever for two days. That was it."
"Thank god for the vaccine! Thank you," he said, laughing and drawing laughs from the KNX 1070 crew. "I will be screaming my lungs out because they are very healthy.”
News of the ex-Skid Row singer's diagnosis hit the internet on August 6, when he shared a video explaining that he'd tested positive for the virus.
“I have to tell you that I feel totally great,” Bach said, smiling as he explained that he got the Johnson & Johnson vaccine back in March.
In the video post, Bach also listed all of the places he’d been during recent travels, hoping that people who had been in the areas during the same time frame would get tested for COVID-19.
Since announcing his diagnosis, Bach has done several media appearances in which he's urged others to end the politicization of the vaccine and simply protect themselves from the virus.
The singer returns to the road this Fall, on a 30th-anniversary tour celebrating his previous band’s Slave to the Grind album. His first concert is scheduled for September 25, with the tour ending in mid-December.
