This is racist on its face. And yet people deny that the vaccine requirements are racist.

Are you trying to purposely kill the meaning racism? To call this racism demeans the suffering caused by real racism.

My experience is with 8 friends having COVID. One was on a ventilator. One nearly was. The latter was on oxygen for months after. All reported severe symptoms including extended loss of taste and smell. A few people I know felt like crap for a day and then nothing.

Calling BS.

You don’t have 8 friends total, much less 8 of which had covid.

You are counting 2nd cousins of your neighbor, the grandmother of you grocery store clerk m, and a person that your coworkers heard about on Facebook.

There is no way that you have 8 close friends (friends that you communicate with monthly) that all had serious cases of covid.

Covid affects circles of friends or families due to their close interactions. There are numerous cases of tight social groups sharing and suffering from covid. If you don't believe this can happen you are in denial.

In New York, if you get fired for not being vaccinated you get NO unemployment payout.

The new gov is from Buffalo, and she is not going to put up with any nonsense. She is buffalo tough and she won't let you play the system.

I hope Wiggins doesn't get vaccinated and that he loses millions. And then he caves. It would be a good lesson to others.

A good lesson to others would be if you fearmongers who want to impose your choices on other would all mind your own business.

Stop trying to block my handle, you can't.

under 30 years old. perfect health. He is not in a danerous category.

I personally don't have that kind of fight in me. I've been vaxxed because I don't want to get quarantined and have to miss a meet, get denied entry to a football game, etc.

Not dangerous in terms of dying but he could get very sick and suffer recurring symptoms for months at least.

It's literally SAFER for healthy people to NOT get the vaccine. COVID will give him a sore throat for 3 days. The vaccine could have dozens of side effects that are not even known yet. Most people I know have felt sicker from the vaccine than from actually getting COVID.

I know 2. One in an induced coma as oxygen wasn’t working. His family wanted him on ivermectin. They thought they knew better than the specialists.

Mths other is a very fit 26yo girl who was very sick and tired for 3 weeks, now recovering, still getting taste back.

I have discussed the vaccine with about 50 vaccinated people and the worst is a bit of a headache or a bit tired for 1-2 days and of course the sore shoulder you get from bruising.

Just a no brainer despite limited examples.

I wouldn't blame them if they banned Andrew Wiggins from all their games given how he's played throughout his career.

I know what his rep is, but last year he played well for the Warriors. He was much better defensively than anyone expected.

Lol. Imagine being so scared of the vaccine that this is the molehill you are willing to kill your career over. It is like quitting the NBA because you are afraid of flying.

Maybe he needs a therapy animal to get him through this tough time.

Love your handle. Perfect!

"The vaccine could have dozens of side effects that are not even known yet."

So, just make up imaginary sh!t and attach it to the vaccine? Great thought failure!

Could

But most likely won’t.

Yes very stupid.

If they deny him his pay, I will start a gofundme for wiggins!

It's not right what they are doing to people who don't want the vaccine.

Sometimes smarter people need to step in and put the morons in line. Good for the Warriors. That guy is a moron. To be clear, he is free to not get the shot. He just can't play home games if he doesn't. If he has any integrity, he WILL stand his ground, and it will likely get him released. He can then go find a job that doesn't require him to become vaccinated. Moron.

Well, I guess it's the city that is enforcing the rule, not the Warriors. Still, good for the city.

it's crazy that there are people who approve of coersion.
