Michael Porter Jr. Isn't Comfortable Taking COVID-19 Vaccine
Michael Porter Jr. revealed that he isn't comfortable taking the COVID-19 vaccine and is adamant there shouldn't be a mandate for NBA players to take it.
"For me, I had COVID twice, I saw how my body reacted, and although the chances are slim, with the vaccine, there's a chance you could have a bad reaction to it," Porter said. "For me, I don't feel comfortable.
"My stance on the mandate is it definitely shouldn't be a mandate. It should be everyone's decision. I see it both ways. If you want to get it because you feel more protected and you feel safer, and it's protecting people around you, get it. That's good for you. But if you feel like, 'Oh, for me, I don't feel safe getting it, then don't get it.'"
Porter isn't the only player on the Nuggets who is unvaccinated.
"I've had it twice, and I don't know what's going in my body with a shot, so if I already know how I'm going to react to COVID, I just feel like, for me, I don't want to risk putting something that might affect me negatively in my body," Porter said.
