Golden State Warriors' Andrew Wiggins Still Regrets Getting COVID-19 Vaccine, Despite All-Star, Title Season
ESPN ^ | 7/19

Posted on 07/19/2022 5:11:44 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Andrew Wiggins made his first All-Star team this year and was a crucial part of the Golden State Warriors' run to the NBA title, but he still regrets one thing he did this season.

"I still wish I didn't get [vaccinated], to be honest with you," Wiggins told FanSided.

At the start of the season, Wiggins said he was torn over the decision to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Had Wiggins not gotten vaccinated, he would've been in the same boat as Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving in only being able to play in some of his team's games due to local ordinances.

Unlike Irving, Wiggins did get vaccinated before the start of the NBA season.

"I did it, and I was an All-Star this year and champion, so that was the good part, just not missing out on the year, the best year of my career," Wiggins said. "But for my body, I just don't like putting all that stuff in my body, so I didn't like that and I didn't like that it wasn't my choice. I didn't like that it was either get this or don't play."

Wiggins, 27, is heading into the final season of his $147 million rookie extension from 2017 with the Minnesota Timberwolves and is up for a contract extension before becoming a free agent next offseason.

"I would love to stay here," Wiggins said at the Warriors' exit interviews in June. "Being here, this is top-notch. The way they treat the players ... we're all one big family. I feel like a lot of places may say that, but they show it through their actions."

“I didn’t like that it was either get this or don’t play.”

I had to make the choice between getting the vaxx or stop volunteering at my local VA.

I haven’t been allowed to volunteer since October 1st.

I’m glad (and fortunate) that I wasn’t forced to choose between the vaxx and my job.

I have sympathy for anyone who has had to choose.

Andrew Wiggins and plenty of other professional athletes know they got played.

Hard to ever trash talk someone on the court when they know you got played.

"Change your name to Banjo, cuz you got played."

There was a young mother in Vancouver Washington that volunteered at her child’s school. They wouldn’t let her continue unless she got the shot. She held out for awhile but really wanted to be a volunteer. She got the shot and it killed her. One article in the news and then it was dropped.

Same news outfits are pushing toddler shots now.

Life expectancy in the US has decreased almost 2 years since the virus scamdemic started. There are many doctors and researchers who think the vaxxxxxxxines are the cause.

One of the ways the vaxxxines kill is that it causes an autoimmune response. The more shots you get, the longer the body has to destroy itself, the more the vaxxxxxed will die.

The gubermint, the eugenics crowd led by Bill Gates, BIG PHARMA can lie all they want but excess death numbers continue to climb.

To kill a lot of people, you had to get a lot of people vaxxxxxed.

No matter where you look, too many people are dying and they are saying they don't know why.

The basketball player can decrease his life expectancy even more by getting a booster or two.

I faked my vax card to save my job. Best decision I ever made was to perpetrate “fraud”.

Interestingly, the NBA never has a vaxx mandate for players.
