Jonathan Isaac's answers questions on his vaccination status - Orlando Magic Media Day - 9/27/21

Jonathan Isaac answers questions in regards to his vaccination status at Orlando Magic Media Day

[@NAMskalle]

My main takeaways from his interview was: 1. He is not antivax or anti-science. 2. He is uncomfertable taking the vaccine "right now", due to medical reasons (mainly having had covid). 3. He will continue to follow covid guidelines to protect himself and his teammates. It's not optimal but at least It's not AS bad as a lot feared. He is not a nut case and I don't think he will create a toxic culture in any way.

[@thehonkening1]

"It's not optimal but at least it's not AS bad as a lot feared" No, this *is* optimal. This man made a decision on whether or not to take a medical treatment injected directly into his bloodstream. Whether he chose to take it or not is irrelevant. How you feel about it is irrelevant. What's important is he made a decision for himself of his own free will and did not let up to any coercion or pressure. This is optimal. Your gaslighting is sub-optimal.

[@poorwayfaringstranger7146]

He's asking the same questions we all are. I have a few more. Why are we segregating by vaccination status? When we all can get and spread SARS-COV2 viruses, at the same rates according to the CDC, so why are we segregating? What about the disabled? Why should someone young and healthy take the risks associated with the SARS-COV2 vaccines, when they may have obtained natural adapted immunity to several wild type viruses and the Delta mutation from previous infections? Why would a healthy, young person, whose chances of dying from covid19 are less than .5%, take an experimental vaccine that is currently using the entire planetary population as human guinea pigs in an illegal experiment in violation of several Nuremberg Codes? Why are doctors in charge of federal health care policies denying early treatment methods that doctors on the ground have proven work? Why is the media suppressing news about Uttar Pradesh and how they're using Ivermectin as a prophylactic and in early treatment protocols and their death rate is near zero, in a country of 250 million? Why is what is happening almost the same thing that happened during the AIDS crisis because of Anthony Fauci's failed federal treatment protocols? How many died because of Fauci's actions during the AIDS crisis (I lost several) and how many have died this time because of his failed healthcare protocols (I've lost two, so far)? I have many more questions about the origins of this virus. What exactly was the involvement and connections of those that were in charge of our healthcare response to the Wuhan lab, DARPA, and other governmental agencies? Were they involved in any way in the possible creation of this virus? Who was watching Ecohealth Alliance? Was there a watchdog agency over the spending and proposals of Ecohealth Alliance, or was it just one person? Who were the people in charge of checking where Ecohealth Alliance was spending American taxpayer dollars and who was in charge of authorizing their proposals? Or were they just given funding to do whatever they wished? How come the "journalists" never ask any of the questions I have to those in charge of our bureaucracy?

Thats true, but he is a professional basketball player. There is no way for him to practice social distancing on a nba court. He is going to have frequent physical contact with other players.

Masks don't help. Nobody has a clue, so don't trust biased people in power trying to steamroll you.

Watch him Preach, he does have Sermons on KZbin!

[@freesk8]

Here is a very rare and wonderful thing: an athlete who is articulate and intelligent and ethical and rational. Isaac explains his position on vaccination, and it is reasonable.

[@fractalofathena2178]

Such a mature, intelligent young man. I wanted to throat punch some of the “journalists” that basically kept asking him the same question over and over again. He handled himself so well. Impressed 👍💥🇺🇸💥

[@tomriggs699]

Super impressed with this gentleman. Great press conference.

[@Ozzcaps]

You have to be impressed with this young man! You just don’t hear good, sound wisdom from people like you do from him these days! Bravo!

[@beerbug2020]

The silence from the reporters in my opinion speaks volumes. Can't argue with common sense and logic

[@MrRourk]

I hope the Magic know how lucky they are to have a man like this on the team.

[@AlexTechie]

Nearly 10 minutes wasted asking this guy about something that should be private. Thanks, liberals.

[@scottnukend]

What a well educated man he is. I'm very impressed at his bravery to tell the media that he isn't going to follow blindly what everyone else does and tells him to do.

[@cameronmoorehead3002]

This young man is so wise beyond his years...well done young man...

[@kevinjohnson3521]

This guy speaks like a true believer in Christ, thank God for him!!

[@lukejackson9244]

Incredibly eloquent and I couldn't agree more.

[@citizensam1637]

If only our leaders were this wise.

[@JayRM714]

This is the definition of a real man. Standing up for what you believe in and not just following everyone else or doing as your told. To many ppl have a child like mentality and it shows…

[@Dethflash]

Very articulate and hit the nail on the head in the most respectful way possible

[@justjared2009]

He is seriously bringing tears to my eyes. So respectful with an opposing view point. Wise as a serpent and harmless/gentle as a dove.

[@jmprov356]

A good man; well-informed and persuasive.

[@evaristogrant4193]

Extraordinary, inspiring, respectful and truthful. If people were like this man, the world would be a better place!

[@chloehennessey6813]

I just became a Jonathon Isaacs fan. Not because of his vaccine statements, but because we are both followers of our Lord. Strong statement of faith, and I applaud you Mr Isaacs for spreading the Word, sir.

[@russmiller1717]

So articulate, clear and respectful, so great, thank you for standing up to the vaccine extremists.

Bet you his jersey sales go through the roof, and he absolutely deserves it!

Very articulate and wise. Hardly a fan of the NBA, but this man has risen my esteem of the players

[@coach9410]

I concur!

[@lakeiaburgess2902]

I could not top any of this man's answers, he handled these questions with poise. Good job sir!

[@xxskizzumxx]

What? A logical and respectful NBA player.... Sounds like an intelligent man, I wish him the best.

[@denocrafts4470]

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Yes, it is our free personal choice.

[@belenzepeta5383]

His preaching at church is awesome. He is a good role model for being so young.

[@andante005]

Amazing.....principled Human Being....Forget the topic. How proud would YOU be of this young man?

[@rickDArula]

Is this a basketball press conference or a medical one?

[@hawks4evr147]

I’m a Hawks fan but I’m excited for Jonathan Isaac, he’s one hell of a defender and I’d love to see him continue to work on his offensive game. Magic fans, you guys have something special not only on the court but off the court, this is a man who cares about his neighbors and will work hard for years to come. Even if he doesn’t end up becoming a big 25+ ppg scorer he will more than make up for it on the defensive end. You may think I’m crazy for saying this but I think Isaac can win one if not multiple DPOYS in his career. Not right now of course, immediately I can think of some better defenders AD, Giannis, Embiid, Simmons, Gobert, and LeBron come to mind. But if Jonathan Isaac maximizes his potential he may very well win multiple DPOYS during is career.

[@dougoneill3314]

People like Jonathan Isaac is what makes the United States of America a truly wonderful country!

[@2bNIKEt1]

I'm speechless with this guy. There are literally no words. Nothing but a subtle nod of respect his direction. Well done young man.
