Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson noncommittal on vaccine after getting COVID for second time

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was noncommittal on whether he would get vaccinated after being infected with COVID-19 twice in the past eight months, saying it was a "personal decision."

"I just got off the COVID list," Jackson said after Monday's practice when asked if he would get the vaccine. "I got to talk to my team about this and see how they feel about it. Keep learning as much as I can about it. We'll go from there."

Does that mean he's thinking about getting vaccinated?

"We'll see," Jackson said. "Talking to the doctors. We'll see."

Private message to Lamar: DON'T GET THE VACCINE. You've recovered from Covid TWICE -- heck, you can do it again. Besides, it's much safer watching Myles Garrett from the sidelines next time you play Cleveland. Maybe you'll get to forfeit the game (why risk injury to an entire team). It'll count as a loss, but your righteousness will stay intact.

Yep.

You'll be one right douchebag.

This guy supposedly is college educated however what we really see is that his full ride to higher education was simply for athletics. His attitude toward doing his part to stem the spread of this horrible pandemic should ban him from collecting his paycheck. Until he is fully vaccinated and protecting his teammates, friends and the public from further spreading this disease, the league should step up and suspend him from any NFL activities without pay.

Although they are the main proponents of vaccine insanity.

Man, if I was a fan of the Ravens I'd be so pissed at him potentially throwing away the season out of idiocy and lack of respect for anyone else.
