not gonna do it. >> COVID skeptics have stormed shopping centers,

>> Unless you get to the point where 70, 80, maybe 85% of the population is immune, the virus still
has plenty of people that it can attack who can then spread it to other people who are not immune.
And so it goes on and on. >> I'm a guinea pig if that's the case.
>> I'm not gonna get the COVID vaccine. I don't know, I just feel like I'm good,
I don't need to. I take vitamins and whatnot. And I'm pretty healthy.

>> That's their big thing. However, they welcome imminent death as they allow the novel coronavirus
to fester in the country. They are the highest group who refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine,
the only way out of this thing. They're keeping us trapped with a deadly disease still lurking
throughout the country, which brings us to this guy, Buffalo Bills wide receiver, Cole Beasley.
The former Dallas Cowboy and SMU Mustang has been in the northeast since 2019. He's a pivotal
player in Josh Allen's development, and the Bills are a thriving team on the up and up. However,
what's bringing fans' morale down is Beasley's thoughts on the coronavirus. When the CDC made
their announcement last week that vaccinated people can go most places without a mask,
Beasley chimed in, I do that without being vaccinated.
Is this illegal now? So Beasley, in the span of ten words, revealed so much about himself.
As the Star Telegram wrote, this is not what the NFL, nor medical officials, want to hear.
He then doubled down. Until we all share the same opinion or believe we are considered ignorant.
I don't understand. You feel how you feel and I respect that. It doesn't always make
me wrong or a bad person cause I don't agree with you. As we shared yesterday,
CBS radio's Dan Bernstein put it like this, we must stop allowing the both-sidesing of this
issue. There is no reason whatsoever for a healthy adult to not get vaccinated.
There is every scientific and public health reason to do so. Full stop. Anti-vaxxers are only
misinformed, uninformed and selfish. Nothing else. Beasley doesn't see it that way. I can't
wait for when y'all tell me how dumb and stupid I am when I'm walking around in the real world.
Wait, that never happens, Beasley wrote. I find this interesting. We've been told
many times over, do not interact with anti-maskers. This is the CDC's recommendation
at least. It's not necessarily about approaching newbies, it's the fact that you actually think
people will, when you've already revealed you're anti-science. What you're doing is making the
direct point to literally never approach you cuz you might carry the coronavirus.
Still Beasley, like many antivaxxers, plays the victim for politicizing public health
and not wanting this pandemic to come to a close. I don't have a problem with anybody
getting the vaccine. That is YOUR choice. My problem is everyone is ridiculing and
bullying people on here into getting one or thinking the same way about it.
It's becoming that way with any issue. This is not ok. Beasley said he had a serious question,
because he said he doesn't know. Because he said he's not a doctor.
He doesn't want to hear from a doctor because a doctor is going to tell him he's wrong. Exactly.
Michael Unger, who holds a PhD, wrote this. As a resilient researcher, I'm not very tolerant of
those who refuse a vaccine when the science is clearly on the side of public health.
When one sees the damage done around the world by communicable diseases like polio and measles,
and now the pandemic, and then sees those with ready access to a vaccine
declining service, one has to wonder what possible justification there could be
for imperiling not just oneself, but everyone else in one's community as well.
