Russell Wilson is known to draw huge numbers to the television on Sunday’s when he suits up for the Seattle Seahawks. But this Sunday, Wilson and his wife Ciara will host a vaccination special on NBC, to spread awareness about the vaccine. The special will feature a number of famous people including President Biden and former President Obama.
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson often says his catchphrase of “no time to sleep”. And when he does, he often means it. The same goes for his charitable actions in the off-season. The NFL 2020 Walter Payton MOY will look to do his part in spreading awareness about the COVID-19 vaccine.
Roll up your sleeves. 💪@DangeRussWilson and @Ciara will host an hour-long special aimed at creating awareness and education regarding the COVID-19 vaccination.

I just did a Zoom call with Dr. Anthony Fauci and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy regarding the pause in the J&J vaccine. With only 6 cases of blood clots among the 6.8 million people who got J&J vaccinations, they pointed out the chance of getting hit by lightning is TWICE as high. pic.twitter.com/w0bJZ8po6u

While Wilson has done his part for the community, he really took it upon himself to help the public suffering from the Covid pandemic. Wilson donated $1 million of his own wealth to Feeding America to help with food insecurity across the nation. Hopefully, Wilson’s special will help people understand the advantage of the vaccine and will eradicate misinformation.
