Andrew Wiggins isn't vaccinated, currently can't play in Warriors home games

[insidehoops]

Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins will not be able to play in Warriors home games until he fulfills the city’s vaccination requirements, the NBA confirmed today.

NBA preseason begins in just over one week.

The regular season starts in 3.5 weeks.

The NBA has officially denied Andrew Wiggins’ request to get a religious exemption for the COVID-19 vaccine.

What is he? One of those ridiculous denominations that think God will magically cure cancer while the patient stubbornly withers away dying in hospital?

He's obviously just using religion as an excuse to not get vaccinated. One of my friends is a cop in SF and he used religion as an excuse to not get the vaccine and it worked, keep in mind this dude is far from religious.

Andrew Wiggins signed a 150 million dollar contract. Damn I didn't even know that. :oldlol:

He set for life anyway. Go buy a big house with a lot of land. Live free and be at peace, he doesn't need to sell out.

You'll be buying a jersey from another team with his name on it in a month if this idiot continues this. People can / don't get vaxed, but it's an issue if it hurts the team.

You just said people can choose not to get vaxxed but can they really? So he loses his career if he doesn't? That's not a choice then.

It’s obviously a choice…..

Words don’t mean what you say they do.

With like 150 million people unvaccinated in this country obviously their choice not to is being allowed. Nobody said businesses have to make it convenient to make that choice. Being inconvenienced into making the choice is the whole point of the restrictions I’m sure.

[DoctorP]

Sure it is. He can choose to play in a league with zero vax requirements.

No its not. If an authority says you can't have a job, place to live, buy food or see your kid without a government mandated injection its not a choice anymore. You're tightening the noose on peoples ability to live free. What's the breaking point?

Can you show any restrictions that prevent unvaccinated people from having a place to live or from buying by food or visiting a child?

Until then let's stick to the facts here, and not let our imaginations run wild. This currently seems like a very narrow "constriction" on freedoms: No, you're not allowed to work in an indoors place with a lot of people without a vaccine.

That's it. Don't try and expand this to housing or grocery shopping, voting, or anything else it's currently not controlling.

Easily. Google it, a judge in Illinois said a mom can't see her kid without it. There's a thread in the OTC where a landlord from Florida is saying he is kicking anybody out that isn't vaxxed. The president is trying to mandate all major corporations to force it. If you don't have income you don't have a place to live or food to eat. Medical insurance is tied to salaried jobs as well. So yes it absolutely affects those things.

FYI Bidens mandate is a choice, get the vaccine or get a.covid test every week.

Do you think people will quit.their jobs rather than take a weekly covid test?

With the many millions of people not vaccinated we are left with two choices as far as whether or not a choice exists. Either what you claim isn’t happening or it is happening and people are choosing to not be vaccinated anyway. Either way….a choice exists and people are making it.

There's always the other side of the coin. What about the person that wants to be in a covid vaccinated environment and does not feel safe because of all the unvaccinated people? If you own a workplace or a building and want everyone to be vaccinated to enter why shouldn't you be able to enforce such?

Because it's a total violation of HIPPA laws and medical privacy. If you work in a hospital or in some high risk field sure as they typically have required vaccines since logically the workers are around high risk sick people all day... If you work some random office job? Makes no sense. And they have no authority to pry into that. I've been in corporate America for over a decade spanning multiple companies and never once have been asked about vaccines or my medical status. Its a massively illegal violation of privacy.

specially so since there's been no long term human clinical trials for this vaccine and cases are up this year from exactly a year ago. They're trying to put everybody on a leash. The media and government won't even discuss natural immunity and antibodies despite the fact the majority of the population has been exposed and have them. I mean.... when are you guys gonna wake up?

Then I guess someone can sue using your HIPPA argument and see what the courts say.

Hint:

In general, the HIPAA Rules do not apply to employers or employment records. HIPAA only applies to HIPAA covered entities – health care providers, health plans, and health care clearinghouses – and, to some extent, to their business associates.If an employer asks an employee to provide proof that they have been vaccinated, that is not a HIPAA violation, and employees may decide whether to provide that information to their employer.

The supreme court ruling from a long time ago.




Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws.

1) It's HIPAA
2) HIPAA has nothing to do with what you describe.

Its absolutely illegal for a private company to ask about my medical status and/or mandate I take certain medical procedures. The whole reason they're not allowed to do that is because if they found out certain individuals had certain conditions and were driving their insurance costs up they could discriminate against them.

Segregation and discrimination are two things we've worked hard to minimize in this country. Seems you're trying to reverse that.

Bad reason but they normally allow everything for religious reasons so it was actually a solid attempt.

All of a sudden religion and my body my choice no longer matters.


Interesting, to say the least.

On a side note, it is quite amazing how "HIPPA" folks continually say all of this is illegal.

Yet they fail to explain why none of this is being taking up lawyers anywhere. If this was such a grievous violation of HIPAA (not HIPPA as the dolts spell it)it would be a pretty easy victory in the courts leading to ridiculously high settlements and a ton of money into their pockets.

But I guess this is the first nationwide boycott by lawyers in history who aren't interested in lining their products with such free and easy money.

When this first started a friend of mine asked me if I was going to wear a mask and I was like nah I am not worried about a virus.

Then not long after that my office closed, gyms closed and you had to wear a mask to go to the store. Guess what, I wore the mask.

Sometimes you have to pivot when you get new information.

[Kblaze8855]

My life essentially is normal. I’ve been bouncing all over the south from Florida to Texas since I quit working. I’ve never traveled more. I don’t need to be particularly afraid of Covid to not be an idiot. These arguments get so polarized people seem to be genuinely shocked that anyone isnt all or nothing.

I don’t have to be hysterical, enjoy wearing a mask, or think covid is the most dangerous thing in existence to see that a lot of the anti vaccine types are flat out stupid and making up fictional laws to complain about them being broken. I essentially quit my job after I had already taken two months off due to not wanting to follow the Covid regulations. They wanted me to wear a mask….when I have my own office. Just silliness. I didn’t need the money anymore. I said **** it let me go enjoy life.

Im the furthest thing from some rabid vaccine mandate pusher.

I just do what common sense suggests. My father already died of covid. I have an elderly cancer surviving mother with a weak immune system. Why wouldn’t my family and I do what we can to minimize risk in ways that still allow us to live life?

I travel, eat nice meals, go to concerts of great musicians I’m afraid won’t tour much longer, and take care of my family. I’m not shook of the 200th vaccine of my life when it makes all that much easier and safer.

Santana is in town soon. Woman I’m seeing….her grandfather runs the security at a lot of local shows and events. I may be able to weasel my way backstage….but guess what? Not if I weren’t vaccinated.

So many people out here miserable and crying like bitches over people like….not wanting the vulnerable to die. Talking about freedom….not having a choice. Grown ass men soft as wet ***** acting like they have ever tasted true oppression.

“Oh no….I have to get a shot or I can’t get into the douchebag convention. I’m being excluded from society!”

I had to give blood, urine, hair, prove I’d taken shots and all manner of things as a condition of employment or even playing sports looooooong before covid. A doctor had to literally grab my balls so I could play football but I’m gonna try to spark a revolution over a shot that reduces the chance my vulnerable family gets sick and I lose another parent?

**** outta here. Bunch of insincere lames, idiots, trolls and a very few over the top but well meaning fear mongers who almost exclusively make terrible arguments even when their concerns might have merit.

I’m not that worried about Covid. But I know for a fact people do die. I don’t want my mom to join them. I don’t want your mom to join them. Seems the best defense is either already having had it or a vaccine that essentially simulates that. So I do my part and live life.

A lot of you choose not to….while simultaneously somehow believing you aren’t being given a choice. That is a baffling combo of idiocy but that’s where we are. I sit somewhere in the middle I guess leaning towards common sense. Protect the vulnerable. Live your life.

Its been pretty simple the whole time.

Natural immunity is proven to fight Covid better, so why are people being denied the right to the better protection (natural immunity)??

Obviously, you should get the vaccine if you live with your parents and they're older/vulnerable, but otherwise, people are just dumb and overreacting to this thing.. natural immunity is PROVEN TO BE BETTER, so what are we talking about here?

The problem with natural immunity is that you have to get covid to get the immunity. That can be a big problem since 2k people are dying from it every day in the US right now.

Covid is only a mortality risk to old and unhealthy

So non-old, healthy people are dumb for getting the vaccine when natural immunity protects them far better and they won't have to get several shots a year, which vaccinated people will have to do

Covid is simply being used as a political tool - the standard should be for the old and unhealthy to get vaxxed - everyone else should have natural immunity

There you sit doing you.

What are you asking for in addition?

The choice is yours. Just as it was mine.

I literally quit work and drove across the country. Nobody prevented that.

If I didn’t have sufficient means to pull it off I’d have made a different choice. Still would be my call to make. I’d just be wearing a mask in my office with nobody near me like an idiot till they loosened the rules. Didn’t feel like it.

I switched to night shifts first where I could be maskless….was bored as all hell…watching Deadwood and Boardwalk empire over while minions worked on the other end of the building.

Wasnt for me. I have to move around….interact. I needed my old 5-2 shift. That had a few dozen people in the building instead of the night shifts 10-15 or so. Much harder to work with the people who actually cared about masks.

So **** it. I quit and drove to Nashville the next morning. Then Memphis. Then I believe Dallas, Austin, and Houston and kept going.

I made a choice.

If you’re check to check your choice would be harder but a choice it would remain.

I do what I feel like. I pop into my old job to drop off baby shower gifts. I’ll never work for anyone else again. I didn’t cry. I didn’t even argue for change when I knew I was in position to possibly win the argument. I just said **** it,

My choice.

Your choice.

Say **** it or do as you’re told.

**** outta here. Bunch of insincere lames, idiots, trolls and a very few over the top but well meaning fear mongers who almost exclusively make terrible arguments even when their concerns might have merit.

I’m not that worried about Covid. But I know for a fact people do die. I don’t want my mom to join them. I don’t want your mom to join them. Seems the best defense is either already having had it or a vaccine that essentially simulates that. So I do my part and live life.

A lot of you choose not to….while simultaneously somehow believing you aren’t being given a choice. That is a baffling combo of idiocy but that’s where we are. I sit somewhere in the middle I guess leaning towards common sense. Protect the vulnerable. Live your life.

Its been pretty simple the whole time.

Which musicians do you enjoy the most and listen to a lot of?

[bladefd]

Natural immunity is proven to fight Covid better, so why are people being denied the right to the better protection (natural immunity)??

Obviously, you should get the vaccine if you live with your parents and they're older/vulnerable, but otherwise, people are just dumb and overreacting to this thing.. natural immunity is PROVEN TO BE BETTER, so what are we talking about here?

Not really. It makes zero difference whether your immunity is from the vaccine or natural. Zero difference except of course that you would have to get covid first to get natural immunity.

What? You think real-life is a RPG game where you level up more from natural immunity than vaccine immunity? No, that's not how our immune system works. Natural immunity also starts wearing off after a year or so as well. It's not better.

[hold this L]

You just said people can choose not to get vaxxed but can they really? So he loses his career if he doesn't? That's not a choice then.
Not people that get paid 30m a year to play basketball

[hold this L]

Theyre not paying him through a contract that says he has to get vaccinated lmao.

If they make those rules, they have to deal with the consequences.
I agree that they shouldn't have made people do it to play. That to me is crazy. However, since the woke coast exclusively is making every player and employer have to take it to visit the arena, Wiggin's is either
1. going to get the vaccine now and people forget it
2. His ass is gonna get traded.


Annoying thing is Wig getting traded is going to make the Warriors weaker and remove them from title contention. Shit is maddening.

My life essentially is normal. I’ve been bouncing all over the south from Florida to Texas since I quit working. I’ve never traveled more. I don’t need to be particularly afraid of Covid to not be an idiot. These arguments get so polarized people seem to be genuinely shocked that anyone isnt all or nothing.

I don’t have to be hysterical, enjoy wearing a mask, or think covid is the most dangerous thing in existence to see that a lot of the anti vaccine types are flat out stupid and making up fictional laws to complain about them being broken. I essentially quit my job after I had already taken two months off due to not wanting to follow the Covid regulations. They wanted me to wear a mask….when I have my own office. Just silliness. I didn’t need the money anymore. I said **** it let me go enjoy life.

Im the furthest thing from some rabid vaccine mandate pusher.

I just do what common sense suggests. My father already died of covid. I have an elderly cancer surviving mother with a weak immune system. Why wouldn’t my family and I do what we can to minimize risk in ways that still allow us to live life?

I travel, eat nice meals, go to concerts of great musicians I’m afraid won’t tour much longer, and take care of my family. I’m not shook of the 200th vaccine of my life when it makes all that much easier and safer.

Santana is in town soon. Woman I’m seeing….her grandfather runs the security at a lot of local shows and events. I may be able to weasel my way backstage….but guess what? Not if I weren’t vaccinated.

So many people out here miserable and crying like bitches over people like….not wanting the vulnerable to die. Talking about freedom….not having a choice. Grown ass men soft as wet ***** acting like they have ever tasted true oppression.

“Oh no….I have to get a shot or I can’t get into the douchebag convention. I’m being excluded from society!”

I had to give blood, urine, hair, prove I’d taken shots and all manner of things as a condition of employment or even playing sports looooooong before covid.

I think Wiggins is going to take the shot. He wanted to exhaust all options first.

Kyrie seems to be the bigger moron that might buckle down and not take it.

[8Ball]

Here we go again. Kblaze is lying.



Nobody would give a **** if it was about a concert or convention. Im perfectly fine sitting my ass at home in peace. This thread is about cutting peoples employment off. So they can't sit at home in peace. Wiggins can... cuz hes on a 150 million dollar contract... we can't.

So you're lying. Vax status is cutting off peoples ability to provide for themselves. I'd have no problem with you doing you and getting it if you're scared. Let me do me and us do us though.

Soft as charmin right here.

Hsvent seen you stop whining about a little rMNA shot and terrified of it.

Straight up scared.

Last year he was complaining about Houston having "only one dropbox" for ballots. he even brought up Jim Crow in the same discussion.

But when half of black small businesses get destroyed by gov't lockdowns, tens of millions of black children forced out of school, tens of millions of blacks being forced to inject themselves with the Trump Vaccine to take part in society, his response is... "i don't even wanna hear it. just shut up and take it."

[Kblaze8855]

I dont even wanna hear it?

I don’t hear it. I read it from outsiders on the internet now and then. Exactly zero people in my family and none of my friends have had a single argument with me about vaccines. Everyone either got it or didn’t and life goes on. Not a one of the ones without it has been forced….or there wouldn’t be anyone without it.

Yet there they are…taking part in society. The millions of unvaccinated black and other people did not simply vanish. You’re sitting there….parts of society. Complaining about problems you choose to have. And I do mean “there” because nobody around me seems too concerned including the unvaccinated. Most I’ve seen is a few “Y’all got me ****ed up” memes on the page of a few people I assume are anti vaccine. Most recently my cousins best friend who then posted a pic of her meal at Juicy Crab.

The unvaccinated are walking around living their lives and the ones who are inconvenienced have clearly made a decision to be.

They aren’t out of society. They are largely idiots…but they have hardly been removed.

[Cleverness]

You seem to have missed the point.

The point is you thought it was a big enough deal to complain about 1 dropbox in Houston, yet don't seem to GAF about half of black small businesses get destroyed by gov't lockdowns, tens of millions of black children forced out of school, tens of millions of blacks being forced to inject themselves with the Trump Vaccine to take part in society. (Ok, maybe not tens of millions in that last part, but millions). You claim it's because "you don't have friends/family complaining about the vaccines," but how badly were your friends and family affected by having only 1 dropbox in Houston?

How many blacks lost their business because of the lockdowns?

How many black children lost schooling because of the lockdowns?

How many blacks have been forced to get the vaccine, against their will, to keep their job? How many had to be coerced into getting it, when otherwise wouldn't have?

Look at NYC for example, https://www.yahoo.com/now/black-lives-matter-greater-york-200600400.html


Mayor Bill De Blasio has aggressively pushed a "vaccine passport" system that bars entry to restaurants, gyms, and other public places without proof of COVID-19 inoculation.

More than 70% of black people in New York City aged 18 to 44 have not gotten the injection — a statistic touted by Chivona at the Monday protest. There is a variety of reasons for the lag in shots, including religious beliefs and distrust of the government.

Poor thing. Having andrew wiggins in the previous season, along with 2nd pick james wiseman, rising star kelly oubre and small veteran kent bazemore apparently weren't enough to propel stephen curry to at least the 8th seed. :(

Otoh, there's good news that klay is coming back next season. Should wiggins decide to never take the vaccine at all, however, the heavy task that they're burdened with carrying his fellow splash bro to a playoff seed may not go so well if he'll eventually be mia.

Its amazing that you don’t see that you invalidate your point yourself.

Youre fabricating the complaint from the jump. Talking about black people forced to take a vaccine then posting an example showing 70% didn’t take it. It’s available. It’s free. Obviously….if 70% didn’t take it they were in fact not forced and don’t see the things you claim remove them from society as a big enough issue to motivate them.

Me..my entire black family…all my friends…aren’t that worried about any of it. And it appears the people you reference aren’t either. It’s a much bigger argument among political extremes on the internet than in my community.

The only people I encounter up in arms are largely redneck types. And even they are generally on tv not around me complaining in person. And I live about 10 minutes from Spartanburg South Carolina which I read last night had the highest hospitalization rate in America right now. Still doesn’t seem to be much of an argument going on.

Most of us just living in peace not bothering each other while people seek agitation to shine a spotlight on it for their own political games. The biggest complaint I hear about the schools is either wanting them open or to be online…not some combo of both.

None of it that major to a single person in my sphere and people with and without the shot are going about their lives. I’ve not seen a single person without the shot have it forced on them yet. Must not be that great an inconvenience not having it. And the places you cite must not be much different if 70% of you people you reference still don’t feel a need to get it. Can’t be much “force” applied if they just decline and go on about their lives.
