Parada was notably kicked out of The Offspring after 14 years in 2021 after he refused to get the Covid-19 vaccine due to is medical condition.

The 48-year-old drummer has Guillain-Barré syndrome, which is a rare disease that causes the immune system to attack the nervous system, with the drummer stating that his doctor advised him against getting the vaccine, as it would be more dangerous than the virus itself.

In a Twitter thread at the time, Parada wrote, "I caught the virus over a year ago, it was mild for me - so I am confident I’d be able to handle it again, but I’m not so certain I’d survive another post-vaccination round of Guillain-Barré Syndrome."

"The risks far outweigh the benefits," he said.

Parada noted that he wanted to "make sure I’m not carving out a space that is only big enough for me. I need to state, unequivocally, that I support informed consent - which necessitates choice unburdened by coercion."
