Kyrie Irving Enters Coronavirus Protocol Less than 24 Hours After Rejoining the Nets
Breitbartq ^ | 18 Dec 2021 | DYLAN GWINN

If you were looking to see Kyrie Irving back to work with the Brooklyn Nets, you had to look fast because it’s already over.

Less than 24 hours after rejoining the team part-time, the Nets announced that Irving – the league’s most outspoken anti-vax mandate proponent – had entered the NBA’s coronavirus protocols.

According to Yahoo:

"The 29-year-old point guard has not played a single NBA game this season after being benched by the Nets over his refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19.

Now, Irving must return negative tests for five consecutive days before he is eligible to return to game action. Once eligible to return, however, Irving will still be unable to play in the Nets’ home games due to New York City’s COVID-19 guidelines, as he remains unvaccinated."

However, Irving is one of nine Nets players to recently test positive and the others are all vaccinated, including star forward Kevin Durant.

The Nets had planned to use Irving for road games only after the team’s seventh player entered the protocol. That decision contradicted the team’s earlier stance when they said that an unvaccinated player would not be able to participate in team activities on a “part-time basis.”

“Kyrie has made a personal choice, and we respect his individual right to choose,” Nets GM Sean Marks said in October of Irving’s refusal to get vaccinated.

“Currently the choice restricts his ability to be a full-time member of the team, and we will not permit any member of our team to participate with part-time availability.”

What is the false positive rate on these tests again? 5 consecutive negative tests may be a mathematical impossibility. Just sayin.

And then the idiots are out there banging and sweating on each other and then go wear a mask when sitting on the bench.

You honestly cannot make up the nonsense.

The guy’s worth $100 million. He obviously understands the fraud and the dangers associated with the vaxx. I assume his contact pays regardless. Collect the cash or not, screw the NBA.

He lost his pay for home games in NY. About $16M out of $34M salary for this season not paid.

The PCR test is so reliable that you have to submit 5 daily negative tests .... why not 10 tests daily for 100 days.

Notable is that you only need one positive test to get on the routine... why not 5 daily positive tests?

I don't understand why they still bother with the dammed inaccurate PCR tests. The antigen test is the standard and is typically 90%+ accurate. Waste of time.

Out of $16 million, how much do you think he would have escaped NYC with? Certainly not enough to temp a very wealthy young man to infect himself with some unnecessary warp speed nostrum.

Between federal, NY state, and NY city income taxes, along with fees to agents, pension pools, etc., not as much as some would like to believe.

The irony here is NY city thinks they're being smart about this, but the only income taxes Kyrie will be paying this season are for federal and the other states he ends up playing in. NYC will not see one cent from Kyrie as long as they mandate their local vaccine ordinance.

I’m guessing something very important built into the ‘vaccines’ is that they make sure you can get the virus again. Natural immunity is what everyone should be striving for but they want everyone to get the vaccine because they want no control group to prove the vaccines are garbage. And it really pisses me off that we don’t have a national leader asking these questions.
This is some evil on steroids right here.

I thought I read back in July that the PCR tests were going to be phased out for Covid testing by the CDC and it was supposed to take place in December (this month).
