Liberal activist LeBron James is one of just two players on the Los Angeles Lakers who hasn't received a COVID-19 vaccination, his teammate Dennis Schröder (the other unvaccinated player) revealed on Monday.
"Nearly the whole team is vaccinated," Schröder told a media outlet from his native Germany. "Only LeBron and I are not, I think."
James's refusal to get the COVID-19 vaccine reflects a dangerous anti-science ideology that experts have warned could put lives at risk. Dr. Anthony Fauci, one of the most respected scientific experts in the country, has expressed "extreme confidence" in the FDA-approved vaccines and urged every American to "get vaccinated as quickly and as expeditiously as possible."
One of the wealthiest players in the NBA, a controversial sports league with deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party, James has repeatedly vowed to use his "powerful" platform to speak out on "everything that's going on around this country and around the world."
James hasn't always lived up to that promise. In 2019, for example, he blasted former Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey as "misinformed or not really educated" after Morey tweeted in support of pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong. When it comes to believing in science and speaking out on the issue of public health, James has been conspicuously silent. In March, for example, he insisted that his decision to get vaccinated (or not) was a "private thing."...

Why would an athlete in their 30s get a vax?
He’s probably already been exposed dozens of times and never even got the sniffles.
It’s creepy discussing this
Does the vaccine prevent the spread of covid? Well we know the FDAhas not approved it for such
It’s his business.
“Liberal activist” = Vicious anti-white racist extremist.
What's the matter, doncha trust Fauci? Biden?
Black people get a pass for “vaccine skepticism” cuz muh racism.
He can afford to pay off a doctor to get a saline injection instead.
Hank Aaron probably told him not to get the vaccine.
LeeBrown Jimmy is smarter than he looks...
Bwahahahah! This statement is so FoS I don't know where to begin but the author contradicts himself in the next paragraph where James said it's his private business. No evidence the decision has anything to do with "science", in fact, no evidence that James has or has not received a vaccine just some 3rd hand information. No evidence whether James was previous exposed to the virus. No evidence at all. But it exposes a "dangerous anti-science ideology".
Complete and utter nonsense.
Lebrain doesn’t know much but in this regard he is right....
Bwaahahaha!! Only freaking MORONS believe this.
I’m white and don’t trust Gates, Fauci, and Ezekiel “Dr Death” Emanuel. Imagine if you were black and these guys told you to “take our vaccine...it’s good for you! Trust us!”

“reflects an anti-science mentality”
so he can’t legitimately decide he doesn’t want to take the risk
so you cannot refuse politicized science demands by ever-changing bureaucrats
so you can’t say no to a brand new experimental treatment we have no long term data for
so being skeptical of TPTB gets you smeared and branded anti-science...
Real world data from Israel says it blocks 94% of asymptomatic cases and 97% of symptomatic cases. That puts it up there with the smallpox vaccine (95% efficacy).
If that were the case people would not be wearing masks.
Mask mandates are a policy decision that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with science or reality.
Individuals wearing masks outside of a mandate are an individual decision that doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with science or reality.
People still try making money gambling in Vegas, despite the fact that basic math tells you that it’s a terrible plan.

Thanks for the good laugh, much needed this afternoon!
