Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Kyrie Irving’s Vaccine Refusal Should Be Condemned

[Bob434]

Kareem’s demanding of vaccines should be seen as a form of anti-americanism and should be condemned

[Lurkinanloomin]

The “vaccinated” are spreading the Fauci/China chimera virus.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"Kareem"? No.

Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor. Yes.

[frogjerk]

Jacobin arguing that athletes like Kyrie Irving aren’t making a “personal choice” by refusing the COVID vaccine — they’re jeopardizing the public health of all through their platforms.

How exactly?

[spincaster]

shut up cream ,you dogged it your whole career.

[Empire_of_Liberty]

I guess they had to remove part of his brain when he started “acting”.

[fatman6502002]

He’s never been much of an American anyway.

[frogjerk]

And while some who don’t get the vaccine might never get sick or, if they do, suffer mild symptoms, they are still potentially spreading the disease to others, killing some

The same can be said of the vaccinated. There is absolutely no difference.

[rightwingcrazy]

‘The country also mandates against drunk driving, “pressing hard” against the freedom to drive under the influence.’

Another reckless conflation of “unvaccinated” with “infectious”. Explain to me why these are, in any way, the same thing.

“When people are able to make choices without government interference for themselves in terms of their well being and the well-being of their family in consultation with whomever they may choose, we are a stronger society.”

[alternatives?]

He has been lied to his whole life by liberals and he still believes them. At what point does he stop? How many lies will it take? Will he ever get off their plantation?

[Louis Foxwell]

Anti vax is not a form of drunk driving. How utterly vapid.

[alstewartfan]

KAJ, worry about yourself. Don’t be a slave for the state, a mule for tyranny.

[Autonomous User]

“shut up cream ,you dogged it your whole career”

Hey I’m out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

[Rurudyne]

If your clot shot neither prevents you from getting sick nor prevents you from infecting others then it’s not a vaccine, it’s a successful marketing campaign.

[conservative98]

Antivaxxers, Bring out your dead! The Covid Monster is here. Get vaccinated before it is too late!!!

Dear Kareem, Natural immunity to COVID is better, more complete, & longer lasting than vaccine immunity. Educate yourself!

NBA great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar writes in Jacobin arguing that athletes like Kyrie Irving aren’t making a “personal choice” by refusing the COVID vaccine — they’re jeopardizing the public health of all through their platforms.

He may have been great on the court but perhaps he got hit in the head with too many basketballs. This is just another reprobate coming out to be noticed. This is getting more than old.

[lee martell]

One of Kareems sons almost killed his neighbor last year, when that neighbor asked why he wasn’t helping his 80 year old landlady take the trash out.
I don’t know what became of that fiasco.

[Vaquero]

I watched my HS basketball team(Catholic parochial school) beat LewAlcindor’s team in the Bronx back in the early sixties.

I was forced to go by my teacher as being part of my grade. I hated Basketball then and now. (The Marist Brothers can be hateful)
