NBA: Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James urged to rethink 'private' vaccine stance

Firstpost  

LeBron James has been urged to reconsider his refusal to confirm whether or not he will take the Covid-19 vaccine after comments which underscored apprehension amongst NBA players over the new coronavirus drugs. National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts told Yahoo Sports that reactions from players about whether to take the vaccine had ranged from “Hell no, I’m not taking it” to “Why can’t we take it sooner?” James’ Lakers team-mate Jared Dudley expressed reservations about the vaccine, saying on Twitter on Sunday that healthy athletes were unlikely to rush to take the new drugs “without enough research.” The Brooklyn Nets’ James Harden and Utah’s Donovan Mitchell also said they were undecided about the vaccine in remarks to reporters ahead of the All-Star Game in Atlanta last weekend. Not on this.” Abraar Karan, a global health physician and resident doctor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, said athletes like James could have an “essential” role in public health. “As a doctor I respect the privacy of what individual patients and people do, but I do think that if athletes like LeBron are going to be getting their vaccine it’s important to think about the public messaging around that,” Karan told TMZ in an interview.
