2021 NBA Offseason

[Heatles84]

I mean, I'm just trying to break it down as it relates to Kyrie. What's the exact reason that Irving needs to take the vaccine (take state law out of it for a second in terms of NYC)?

Kyrie's a prime NBA athlete, and if he doesn't have any underlying issues, he's in the lowest possible risk group for Covid. He could catch Covid and at worst, have minor symptoms. With the vaccine, as we're all in universal agreement - you can still catch Covid and still transmit it.

So again I ask, what benefit is it for Kyrie to take the vaccine?

I don't see how this helps in any way.

Cigarettes help me manage stress. Additionally, I don’t think I ever lost my oral fixation from childhood. (If somebody doesn’t throw down the alley oop I just threw you, I’m gonna be disappointed).

 

[Heatles84]

Responding to your comment that you respect anyone's decisions on what they put in their bodies.

Hey, if you want to smoke cigarettes, that's your prerogative. Same with any type of narcotics.

I hope you didn't see this as some type of "gotchya!"

 

[thunderc]

Of course, that's been my take too. Do what you need to do but realize that has consequences. Problem is with sports stars it affects us fans too. And all over a delusion.

Yup, well Kareem has weighed in

NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar calls for unvaccinated players to be removed from teams

If NBA players are not vaccinated, they shouldn't be on the team, basketball Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar told Rolling Stone.

I don't. I agree people should be allowed to smoke or take drugs or whatever. But I don't respect them for it. I don't respect the antivaxxers either. They can do what they want, and then I can disdain them for not thinking clearly.

I don't think they give a shit. Caring what some random fuck on the internet thinks of them is relatively low on a lot of people's concerns. But do you, boo.

We just found out that a 44 year old that we went to high school with got Covid and died. Dude was healthy with no underlying health conditions.

 

[Heatles84]

Hey, everyone's boy said it. Yet here we are.

 

[Heatles84]

Yes, there are outliers. The flu also takes healthy people as well. People do realize there are things in this world that can kill you, yes? Did people really think we're all going to leave until 100?

 

[msgkings322]

Not according to trojanfan and Gman and many others here. They think my disdain is one of the reasons people don't take the vaccine. I replied just what you did, that basing your health decisions on what some random fuck on the internet says is childish but I was roundly shouted down for that.

 

[Heatles84]

And people have died of Covid, while vaccinated. Shit happens, it's a sad world.

I've done my own research while also listening to my physician that based on my medical history, I'm right in my approach to not take the vaccine.

If you have the vaccine, then why are you so worried about what others are doing? We're all going to die in the near term future, right?

 

[msgkings322]

You weren't part of that exchange so let me ask you. There are only two reasons I can think of that people don't get the vaccine:

1. They are afraid of side effects
2. They are childishly pushing back because they don't wanna eat their vegetables but Biden and the internet meanies make fun of them so fuck you I'm not taking it.

Am I missing something? If not, do either of those reasons for not getting jabbed make sense to you?

 

[Heatles84]

@msgkings322 you're a real easy dude to relate with - someone who lacks any type of confidence in his decisions, so he needs more and more people to make the same decision he did so that he's somewhat internally validated.

I'm not 'worried' about anti-vaxxers, if they die they die and if they don't, great. But they do whine endlessly about the consequences of not getting jabbed (not you necessarily) and there's so many of them that it does affect me when the economy can't find vaccinated workers and Andrew Wiggins might not play basketball because of it.

Side effects are a thing, yet you seem to ignore that. I don't give a shit what that walking bag of dementia-ridden shit says about the vaccine. I didn't want to take it when Trump was in office, even though he's a big proponent of it. Politics means shit to me on this topic.

Again, if you're vaccinated, what's the problem? You're good, right? If someone doesn't get the vaccine, why does it matter to you?

 

[thunderc]

10 to 15 less times as likely to die with the vaccine

 

[Heatles84]

You're such a beacon of high morals.

Oh please, this nonsense doesn't work on me. You're better than this. I'm trying to have a legit conversation with you but if you want to do a troll battle those can be fun too.

 

[msgkings322]

What do morals have to do with it?
