Flat-Earther NBA star Kyrie Irving misses media day due to vaxx requirements

Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving misses team media day due to NYC's COVID-19 proof-of-vaccine requirement

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32291549/sources-brooklyn-nets-star-kyrie-irving-miss-team-media-day-due-nyc-covid-19-proof-vaccine-requirement

BROOKLYN , N.Y. -- Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving did not attend the team's media day at Barclays Center on Monday because of New York City's COVID-19 protocols

Last month, New York City mayor Bill de Blasio issued an executive order that required New York City-area pro athletes to show proof of at least one vaccine shot to practice or play in the city.

“ That's on Kyrie and that's his personal decision. What he does is not on us to speculate what may happen," Nets star Kevin Durant said. "We trust in Kyrie, and I expect us to have our whole team at some point."

Last week, Nets general manager Sean Marks indicated that not all of the team's players have met that requirement, but he expected the team to be in compliance by the opening of the season next month.

One would hope that he'd have learned something in the process about buying into bullshit anti-science propaganda, but it seems certain individuals are just inclined in that direction and really never 'get better'.

And, the problem is that his actions seem rooted in his belief that he's always the smartest one in the room.
Unfortunately, he has to be alone to be the smartest in the room.

what about if he is in the room with members of the orange hemorrhoid's family?

Then who gets the gold medal?

I do feel sorry for you. I deal with deniers all the time, but I still have not lost the capacity for sadness and the horror of seeing their foolish anti-vaxxer "beliefs" catch up with them and their families.
