All these numbskulls all over social media and in this thread congratulating Kyrie are ridiculous. You have dudes like Clay Travis commending Kyrie yet they’re the same ones talking smack about being woke and BLM. See how stupid this whole thing is ? And how ignorant Kyrie is? The dude isn’t anti vax yet doesn’t want to get vaxed? Because he’s about giving voice to the voiceless ? Those voiceless are some of the same ones that will lambast you for being woke and supporting BLM. This situation is all a bunch of BS and I see right through it.

Yes brainwashed people like you too busy reading conspiracy theories on facebook and youtube to join us in the real world.

Conspiracy lol… so what is the conspiracy? That southwest pilots are suing the airline over a vaccine mandate, or the airline claiming they cancelled flights due to weather? Conspiracy is literally a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful. Corporations are mandating an unlawful vaccine(forced on by our current adminstation), that has also been proven to be harmful in some cases. People are so worried about safety, when our rights and liberties are being stripped away right from under our feet. We better all wake up before it’s too late

That or they just feel they need to announce it thinking it actually hurts someone's feelings they're going on the posters block list

Lol yeah, kats be like "You are on my ignore list BUCO!!! BANISHED TO DARKNESS!!!!" I imagine them stomping their feet alone at home screaming.

So what you're saying is, you read comments you disagree with, then don't move on but spend your time imagining what they're doing

Adults can read comments they disagree with and just move on, you know.

Lol, your feet hurt.

Hey folks the thread has veered off topic and into pure politics again. Which is not allowed. Please do not post political comments and please do not respond to political comments. This is about Kyrie Irving and the Nets and the NBA. We have a current affairs board for politics and a covid thread for your thoughts on the virus or vaccine.

I know these "friendly reminders" probably make some of you roll your eyes but I think it's preferable to issuing official warnings and strikes and bans etc. We don't want to lose more users because of derailing this thread. Thanks.

Hey,

surely it's not hard to understand:

1. Hit the report button on something you find breaks the rules

2. Let mods be notified. They will not be around 24x7.

3. Let them handle as they think it's correct. If you have questions, just message anyone.

Do not: Report and then go backseat moderating, calling mods, leading the other user to reply to you and cluttering the topic.

Next time you pull this stunt, will result in a strike.

You have 12 posts. Please build some sort of forum history before you parachute in a topic such as this.

You were warned for labelling everyone else as being brainwashed. I suggest you stick to basketball discussion.

Not at all. I'm very pro vaccine actually. I always encourage everyone to get the vaccine if it makes them feel safe, my own mother included. But more so than being pro vaccine, I'm pro choice. I'm pro logic.

The day that we can start having a serious conversation about the logic behind these decisions (excluding natural immunity, daily testing for both vaxxed and unvaxxed, the political aspect of when the vaccine was pushed by Trump vs Biden, etc..) then great. Right now its all just a show.

Since we are talking about negative impacts on society. Do you think the lockdowns and firing people without the vaccine has no negative impact on society? Can we talk about suicide rates, depression rates, insane inflation, mass layoffs, people being unable to afford basic needs like housing/food. We can't, because "if it saves one life then its all worth it".

We need to protect our most vulnerable. People 60+, people with pre-existing health conditions. I couldn't agree more with that. But when logic is thrown out and you aren't allowed to ask question without being slandered, I have an issue with that.

Why should employers be forced to employ unvaccinated people? How many unvaccinated people have legit reasons for being unvaccinated. Not even 1% I bet. You think unvaccinated people being in the workplace don't have severe negative impacts? Its their choice to be unvaccinated, its the employers choice to fire them for it.

Freedom does not mean freedom from consequences for dumb actions.

Natural immunity seems to be a plenty good reason not to get vaxxed seeing as how it's always been a part of herd immunity. You don't think 1% of the non-vaxxed have natural immunity?

IT is not because you can repeatedly catch it and it is not as effective and catching it and taking the vaccine.

You can repeatedly catch it while vaccinated, and there is plenty of data to suggest it's at least as effective, if not more effective. Even if it wasn't, when does that number become acceptable? 50% as effective? 75%? 90%? 99%? Natural immunity has always been acceptable until COVID. Why isn't it now?

What do you mean by "acceptable?" Acceptable to whom? So-called natural immunity has never exempted one from a vaccination mandate for schools, military, etc.

In terms of reaching herd immunity. There will never be 100% vaccination rates for COVID, and that makes sense because not every vaccine is mandated for schools, military, etc. nor should they be.
