Charles Barkley Rebukes Unvaccinated ‘XXXXXXX’
New York Post ^ | August 1, 2021 | Peter Botte

Charles Barkley has an opinion on most topics, so it’s not surprising that the outspoken NBA legend offered strong thoughts about COVID-19 vaccinations.

The basketball Hall of Famer and longtime TNT analyst told CNBC in a recent interview that unvaccinated people are “just a–holes” and that he believes all pro sports leagues should mandate their athletes and staffers receive the shot.

“Yes, I’m vaccinated. Everybody should be vaccinated. Period,” the 58-year-old said. “Can you imagine if one of these guys that are not vaccinated, if they get one of these players’ kids, wives, girlfriends, moms and dads sick and they die over some unnecessary conspiracy bullsh-t? I think that would be tragic.”

His opinion is his opinion and bereft of facts. He is just another useful idiot supporting Government propaganda.

I knew more about science when I was 10 years old than Charles Barkley does right now.
He really doesn’t know sh*t about science/vaccines.
He’s out talking his usual nonsense.

OK!
Now we can take solace in finally getting the brilliant views of the Earth’s leading philosopher & intellect...

No other views are needed... They would be superfluous...

Cultural peace at last...

He might be right or might be wrong. Sir Charles however has often been wrong. He can be funny too but I’ve stopped watching almost everything in sports world so the only way I found out his opinion is here on FR.

I’m a fan but I’m curious about how Barkley or anyone else can determine who gave who, The ‘Rona.

Over 74% of the folks that tested positive in Provincetown had the shot.

No way of knowing anything.

Maybe Charles is spreading the virus along with hot air. Now that we know vaccinated folks can be virus-spreaders too.

There was a recent article about the money the government gave to the NFL alumni group to push vaccination. Looks like it got the the NBA too.

Is he aware that most experts who are not allowed to opine in public media have stated that being vaccinated does not prevent one from spreading the virus? Or is he just being what he calls an xxxxxxx?
