Stephen A. Smith: Kyrie Irving ‘Selfish’ for Vaccine Hesitancy — ‘He Has the Right to Go the Hell Away’
Breitbart ^ | 10/14/21 | Trent Baker

Posted on 10/14/2021 10:51:07 AM PDT by conservative98

ESPN “First Take” host Stephen A. Smith got into a heated discussion with colleague Jay Williams on Wednesday regarding Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving’s refusal to get vaccinated.

Irving reportedly isn’t getting vaccinated because he opposes mandates forcing him to take vaccines. That move could cost the star his entire season due to not being able to play home games because of New York’s vaccine policies.

Williams, who played in the NBA, voiced his opposition to the vaccinated, labeling the unvaccinated “stupid” or “selfish” by the likes of Smith.

“I’m just telling you how it feels to some people, Stephen A. When you start calling people stupid, or you start … saying that they’re selfish and these things start going all over the internet, that creates a different narrative,” Williams argued. “And people start fighting back against that narrative. … I’m just telling you how it is on the other side, Stephen A.”

“What’s the other side?” Smith asked.

“That’s why I’m calling him selfish. Ain’t nobody questioning his right. He has the right to do it. He also has the right to go the hell away then. Retire. Retire, then,” Smith added. “You left your teammates hanging. That’s my point.”

Stephen A, here take this cup of hemlock and drink it. Don’t think! After all, everyone’s counting on you, it would be selfish to not do so.

Smith’s right to free speech doesn’t give him a right to be heard.

I remember when Mark Levin allowed him on his show like he was going to vote against Obama.

as you slowly deteriorate in a couple years from getting the vaxx?

Some of the vaxxed are not going to go SLOWLY

RUMBLE: Receptors that keep cancer and other things in check, are being suppressed by the so called vaccines. Amongst others, an Irish GP has contacted Dr Cole, and said he's seeing an increase in cancers in the vaccinated, that he has never seen before in a 40 year career.

The unvaccinated are no threat to the vaccinated.

But the unvaccinated are a huge threat to stopping the Biden Communists from implementing their ultimate control program: Social Credit Scores

It’s a shame that his teammates won’t stand up for his rights. But, that’s woke for you.

If you are vaccinated, you cannot contract COVID from someone who isn’t vaccinated. Lighten up Karen!

“Unvaccinated people who will accomplish nothing to mitigate COVID for others by getting vaccinated and who could be injured or killed by a vaccine are selfish for not getting a useless and dangerous vaccine.”

I think, somewhere in the back of their mind, they realize they made a mistake rushing out to take this untested drug, and they can’t stand that a lot of the “stupid Trump voters” didn’t make the same mistake. So they want to force us all to make that mistake whether we want to or not.

Kyrie Irving has already had COVID and recovered. There is no need for him to take the shots. He has natural immunity now.

I’m sure Smith is ashamed of the fact that Blacks have the lowest vaccination rates of any demographic. Oh wait, he lives in a rich White neighborhood and hangs with celebrities. So how would he even know?

What sport did this little creep ever play?

Can't believe Mark Levin has had this fascist prick on his show for years.
