The Dwight Howard vaccination statement
8-time NBA All-star Dwight in an Instagram live session completely denied the concept of vaccines.
When asked about the mask incident the Lakers star turned the conversation toward the death of Breonna Taylor (26-year-old African-American was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department).

Howard’s comments can’t be right
The only hope that people have in recent times is vaccination against the deadly Coronavirus that has taken almost 600k lives worldwide.
Dwight Howard saying that he does not believe in vaccination in front of 2.7M followers is just not the right thing to do. He needs to educate himself on the current scenario of Coronavirus and its impacts around the globe.
With the kind of platform that he has, he needs to be more responsible with the kind of messages that he sends out.
A coronavirus outbreak in the Walt Disney World can make things worse for the players and the association and may result in termination the 2019-20 NBA season. The damage of resources and loss of money would be huge if players like Howard don’t take the Bubble protocols seriously.
