The NBA has done vaccine PSAs with Hall of Fame center Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, but there's a strong belief the league's top players -- many of whom who are Black -- can impact many more in Black and Brown communities, which have been disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"In the African American community, there's been enormously disparate impact from COVID ... but now, somewhat perversely, there's been enormous resistance [to vaccinations] in the African American community for understandable historical reasons," Silver said recently. "If that resistance continues, it would be very much a double whammy to the Black community, because the only way out of this pandemic is to get vaccinated."

The black community won't listen to white players as much as blacks or browns and yet the white commissioner, the white doctor and the white writer are using terms such as "educate" by putting black and brown faces on the forefront to the "disproportionately impacted" community. America 2021.

"If that resistance continues, it would be very much a double whammy to the Black community, because the only way out of this pandemic is to get vaccinated."

Wrong.

It’s not the only way out of the fabricated “pandemic”.

[TigersEye]

It doesn’t really matter. As Chairman Zhou Bai Deng pointed out, to paraphrase;

“Blacks and Hispanics are too dumb to use computers to figure out where to go to get vaccinated.”

[DoodleBob]

The data have been clear since vaccines have been discussed over the summer. Blacks are skeptical of the "safe and sound" messaging.

I suspect many people thought once Bidet was in power * that blacks would magically trust him.

These idiotic people haven't realized that a demented liberal white accomplice to the disenfranchisement of millions of #WalkAway individuals will only calcify their Tuskegee sentiments.

Why ?

All they have to do is kneel, sing the “ Black National Anthem “, and beg those who worship them to get jabbed with the snake-oil.

It sounds like the perfect marriage.

they jave to ask the asketball players

they’ve already killed off one of the most famous baseball players to prove its safe for blacks

[cherry]

in my area, blacks are not disproportionately affected....facts can be troublesome things...

but as far as these brilliant low IQ black nba players, I just follow their every utterance....NOT!

[Veggie Todd]

They don’t hesitate to piss on the flag, but they’re afraid to tell the brothers to get the shot?

[FlingWingFlyer]

It’s going to cost the vaccine makers 40 million for each Jock Strap to promote the vaccine. Them boys don’t come cheap.

[mewzilla]

Trust is the coin of the realm.

And Deep State is flat freaking BUSTED.

Though these are the same guys who shilled for Obamacare.

Note to NBA players: Just not for thee, eh?

[moovova]

Yeah, but they don’t think twice about spitting on the flag.
