For me covid in relation to sports - guys will do anything to win - and I mean anything. They would kill people if it enhanced their ability to play football. They will take years off their life leading with their head on every other play. But they won't get a shot? Even when you know without a doubt (it doesn't matter if the vaccine is effective or not) that not getting a vaccine will actively hurt the team and make it tougher for the next season?

Well that is kinda my point. It might not make a lot of sense to you or me, but that's ok. I don't have to understand why DeAndre Hopkins doesn't want to take the vaccine. Not taking the vaccine isn't illegal. It is his choice for his reasons. He doesn't have to explain it to me or anyone else - that's America. Just like Zeke said. "You can't really tell someone what to do with their body". There are a myriad of reasons why people aren't getting the vaccine, and many of the reasons are valid. The picture is not as simple as dudes like SS would like to paint it - just some anti-vax / anti-mask strange bunch going against the grain to piss off the pro-vax / pro-mask crowd with the intent to hurt everyone else around them. That is where the "he doesn't have a clue" part comes in.
