Jonathan Isaac in recent years has been forced to discuss off-the-court topics more regularly than anything basketball related.

In July 2020, Isaac’s return from a knee injury that sidelined him for seven months was overshadowed by his decision to stand during the National Anthem …

On Monday at Orlando Magic Media Day, Isaac answered questions regarding his decision not to get the COVID-19 vaccine, a decision that potentially could lead to missing games depending on the NBA’s protocols in various cities. His response came days after he was labeled “proudly unvaccinated” in a Rolling Stone article on the NBA’s anti-vaxxers that Isaac said on Monday “badly misrepresented.”

“I am not anti-vax, I’m not anti-medicine, I am not anti-science,” Isaac told reporters Monday. “I didn’t come to my current stance by studying Black history or watching Donald Trump press conferences (as the story states). I have nothing but the utmost respect for every healthcare worker and person in Orlando and all across the world that have worked tirelessly to keep us safe. My mom has worked in healthcare for a really long time. I thank God and I’m grateful that I live in a society where vaccines are possible, and we can protect ourselves and have the means to protect ourselves.

“But with that being said, it is my belief that the vaccine status of every person should be their own choice. Completely up to them without bullying, without being pressured, without being forced into doing so. I’m not ashamed to say that I’m uncomfortable with taking the vaccine at this time. We’re all different. We all come from different places. We’ve all had different experiences and hold dear to different beliefs. And what it is you do with your body when it comes to putting medicine in there should be your choice, free of the ridicule and the opinion of others.”

Balanced and articulate representation by this 7 foot 1 inch professional basketball player.

He is far superior to Dr. Fauci. Should replace him? ;-)

How many absurd stories does it take before Rolling Stone throws in the towel?

Somthing very strange is going on when basketball players have more common sense and empathy towards the health decisions of individuals than the so-called government experts.

Three organizations called "news" that are horribly biased and sensationally inaccurate:

Rolling stone

Huffington post

Yahoo

(Close runners up are cnn and msnbc but I digress.)

Unfortunately all are pipelined to the digitally connected and are their only source of "news" on a daily basis

On the plus side, FR needs them our we wouldn't have topics to post.

Wow … I love it! What an intelligent, thoughtful and articulate thing to say!

“They” can’t have that from someone like him getting out there and into the heads of the mindless masses.

That will ruin everything!

My 93-year-old aunt has had two vaccinations, and she is now under quarantine in her nursing home for... you guessed it... Covid. In fact, there’s an outbreak at her nursing home where everyone is at least double-vaxxed. Yup, those “vaccines” sure are working well, aren’t they?
