Wizards’ Bradley Beal explains why he’s unvaccinated

Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal revealed during the team’s media day on Monday he isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19 and was pressed about the reason.

Beal, who wasn’t able to compete for Team USA at the Olympics after testing positive for the coronavirus, explained he didn’t feel pressured to get the vaccine.

“I don’t feel pressure, I don’t think you can pressure anybody to making a decision about their body or what they put into their body,” he said, via NBC Sports Washington. “We can have this conversation about a lot of different topics besides vaccines, too. You can’t necessarily force anybody, I think you kind of let people come into their own about it.”

Beal admitted he did think about it because of the strict guidelines the NBA has for unvaccinated players. He then demanded an answer about why those who are vaccinated are still getting COVID.

“I would like an explanation to people with vaccines, why are they still getting COVID? If that’s something we’re supposed to highly be protected from, that’s funny that it only reduces your chances of going to the hospital. It doesn’t eliminate anyone from getting COVID,” Beal said. – READ MORE
