Buffalo Bills' Cole Beasley says he'd rather retire than get Covid-19 vaccine

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: CNN

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley, in a challenge to the National Football League's new Covid-19 training camp and preseason protocols, tweeted that he'd rather retire than get a vaccine.
"Everyone -- Hi, I'm Cole Beasley and I'm not vaccinated!," he wrote in a post Friday that he called a "Public Service Announcement."

"I will be outside doing what I do," Beasley added. "I'll be out in the public. If your scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated. Point. Blank. Period. I may die of covid, but I'd rather die actually living."

The defiant tweet comes on the same week the NFL sent teams a memo highlighting different protocols for vaccinated and unvaccinated.

How does one deal with this total stupidity?..

My guess is these 4 sentences (paragraph 3)

"I will be outside doing what I do," Beasley added. "I'll be out in the public. If your scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated. Point. Blank. Period. I may die of covid, but I'd rather die actually living."

3. And this is one of the star receivers on the Bills, which is my team in the NFL

This guy is from Texas. . .and is a card-carrying Republican.

Good thing is the Bills have a very deep bench in slot receivers (ever since signing Emmanuel Sanders and retaining Isaiah MacKenzie), so I say buh-bye. . .go back to Texas.
