I still don't understand why people don't take Covid vaccines. Are they chickenshit of the extremely rare and pretty harmless side effects? Or is it simple childishness?

Yes...and stubborn.

Yes...and stubborn.

Which is also childish

A big part of it is all the misinformation campaigns promoting low death rates and comparing Covid to the flu.

People legitimately don’t think Covid is something they need protection from.

Understood, I know. Just don't see the downside of getting the shot. Even if you don't think Covid is a big deal, getting the vaccine is even less of one.

He not playing in Barclays this season

If the Nets are smart, they are in communication with Philly right now exploring trade options.

Kyrie for Simmons + Maxey

Then they sit down with Kyrie and lay it on the line.

“Kyrie, we want you to be a Net. However, we can’t afford to keep you on the roster if you are only available for road games. If you don’t get vaccinated, we will be forced to trade you to Philly.”

Kyrie will likely refuse and both teams will get better.

Read an article recently in USA Today sports that featured an infectious disease expert with Harvard and other credentials. Said Covid is here to stay but wont be long before it IS like the flu where it kills 50-60k or so per year.

That said, I totally agree with what you said. While I'm less concerned than I once was I'll still wear a mask when asked and, yes, got the vaccine and will get a booster if allowed.

If Wiggins is really this adamant then I'd prefer Simmons to him (which I dont if Wiggins gets the shot). Fit issues with Draymond but not as bad as missing every home game. Wiggins, Wiseman, filler for Simmons.

I also think it's never going totally away, it will be one of the endemic viruses out there and we will likely get annual boosters for it. It will kill mostly the unvaccinated at a rate similar to the flu.

Giving the companies cart Blanche blanket immunity doesn’t create trust either

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Yes they are. It is quite easy to find with a quick google search. Road players are exempt.

It is stupid but at the moment it is the truth and been that way since the Knicks, Nets, and Warriors announced that they will follow mandate made by local government

I’ll gladly shut up if you show me a link saying road players are exempt.

Anyone who thinks these vaccines are unsafe is a fucking idiot. "Trust" lol

Unvaccinated NBA Players In NYC And San Francisco May Face Home Game Ban

Players from the Knicks, Nets and Warriors will need to show proof they have gotten a Covid-19 vaccine to enter and team arenas and practice facilities, in line with local guidelines.

Some have been brainwashed into believing a tracking chip's in the vaccine. Yet those same yo-yo's carry their cell phones everywhere. Then you got those special people that think the vaccine makes you magnetic. And the virus misinformation on the social medias plays a roll in things as well.

See, this is part of the problem.

The crazy conspiracy theorists were always going to be there. They always are and always have been. Those people have always been pretty much ignored by everyone else.

But now, and I'm not saying you're doing this, many who are trying to push the vaccine just want to lump people with legit questions and concerns in with conspiracy theorists.
