Bradley Beal Clarifies COVID-19 Vaccine Stance

Bradley Beal spoke to the media for the second time in two days, clarifying that he’s not opposed to the COVID-19 vaccine.

“I want to get that straight, I’m not sitting up here saying ‘vaccines are bad.’ I’m not sitting up here saying ‘this vaccine is bad.’ I’m not sitting up here saying that you shouldn’t get it,” Beal told FortyEightMinutes and other reporters on Tuesday. “It is a personal decision between every individual, that’s it. Right?”

Bradley Beal clarifies that he’s not opposed to getting the vaccine, he just hasn’t done it at this point.

Notes that he recently cleared the 60-day threshold since recovering from COVID, so he couldn’t get it during that time anyway. @FortyEightMins

Beal, who was diagnosed with the coronavirus over the summer (forcing him to miss Team USA’s gold medal Olympic run), says he’s still conducting research and he hasn’t completely made up his mind.

“We talk about it every day,” Beal said of him and the Wizards’ organization. “I’ll just go about those rules until my decision changes, which is still possible. I’m not sitting here saying that I won’t get it.”
