Andrew Wigigns, in a game this season
“Get vaccinated It was a very tough decision. I felt like my only options were to get vaccinated or not to play in the NBA.

Days later, Isaac qualified his position, assuring that it was not an anti-vaccine but that the natural immunity acquired by passing the coronavirus is better than the vaccine gives you. “I don’t think that not being vaccinated means infected or that being vaccinated means not being infected. You can still get COVID with or without the vaccine,” he said. A position in which he reaffirmed himself in October. “It all started with my personal case. I did an exhaustive search work and there were indications that the natural infection gave an immunity greater than the vaccine “, stated in an interview with Daily Caller collected by nbamaniacs. It has not been revealed whether Isaac is vaccinated or not.
