The day before the post, Axl had called Surgeon General Jerome Adams a “coward” for refusing to give a yes or no answer in response to whether people should be attending large gatherings for Independence Day.
“Resign,” he said. “U don’t deserve the job or title. America deserves better.”
After Jerome then encouraged the frontman to share his video about using masks, Axl wrote back: “Awesome! n’ thanks! U wanna start by telling peeps to avoid large gatherings? Or u want me to? Shame we didn’t get that out there 4 this wkend like on TV.”
