LeBron James has always been at the center of vaccination against the coronavirus. Months ago it was rumored that he was one of the two members of the Lakers who had chosen not to be vaccinated, something that without giving dates seems to confirm with his latest statements, in which he comments that he had doubts about whether it was really what he should do. .
“I think everyone has to make their own choice what they think is right for them and their families. I know I was very skeptical about all this, but after doing my own research and things of that nature, I felt that it was the most suitable not only for me, but also for my family and friends, and that is why I decided to do it » , says in the Media Day of the Angelina franchise.
His words come amid the controversy over those players who continue to refuse to be inoculated. This group of about 40 members and with Kyrie Irving, Bradley Beal and Andrew Wiggins as main figures, already knows that they will have to face both local restrictions and those imposed by the NBA’s health and safety protocol. It does not seem that they are going to change their opinion and LeBron, being restrained, understands that no one should try to influence what each individual decides.
“We are talking about the bodies of individuals. We are not talking about something that is political, racism or police brutality and things of that nature. We are talking about the body and the well-being of people. Personally, I don’t feel like I should be involved in what people should do with their bodies and their livelihoods, ”he says.
