Jason Kerrison has been in the public eye for two decades as the lead singer of iconic Kiwi band OpShop. In more recent times Kerrison has been seen in the public eye for his opposition to the vaccine mandate and opinions on the vaccine itself. He has created waves with some media profiles accusing them of spreading disinformation and warning them of the potential consequences by what he now acknowledges as regrettable, and inaccurate, memes and tweets citing death penalties in the past for media people who mislead the public.
