As the magic potion that will save us all from having to face the consequences of the virus ever again, the Left champions the COVID-19 vaccination. LeBron James, however, proved Wednesday that the opposite is true.
The Los Angeles Lakers forward tested positive for the virus (despite being asymptomatic) and will enter the NBA’s health and safety protocols for at least 10 days. To be eligible for the Lakers slumping team, he must submit to COVID testing two times consecutively.
Despite being a public figure who has a knack for saying things he shouldn’t (i.e. criticizing Kyle Rittenhouse for crying during his trial) and for being silent on China’s forced labor camps, it is sad to see that athletes like James are still put through unnecessary precautions to protect against the virus. It should not take men at their best to be able to go back to work after a week. No one would blame Michael Jordan – who played one of the best games of his career with the flu – for being disgusted with how soft the league has become.
Ironically, the virus was contracted by a vaccine-vaccinated person. Yes, it continues to prove the point that jabbing yourself does not automatically guarantee that you’ll be safe from ever getting COVID again (which is what people with a shred of common sense have been saying all along).
However, it would be wonderful if this vaccine actually worked. It is logical to take the vaccine in order to be protected against the virus. James stated that he chose not to be vaccinated until the season began.
“I know I was very skeptical about it all, but after doing my research and things of that nature I felt like it was best suited for not only me, but for my family and my friends,” James said in September.
It would seem reasonable to assume that James wouldn’t have to suffer from COVID. Unfortunately, however, it is not possible to believe that James would be able to endure being sick with COVID.
James’ situation should be another reminder that we should not blindly take the vaccine because the government says so. You should do your research and draw your own conclusions. Then, you can make a decision. However, it’s important to not blindly follow the advice of the government.
