Shaq Reveals Why He Took The COVID Vaccine
Former basketball player Shaquille O’Neal, who is fondly known as Shaq revealed in a recent interview why he took the COVID vaccine. He said that he took the vaccine as he didn’t want his mother to get COVID from him. As per Shaq, he took the vaccine only to protect his family members. Moreover, he said, “I took it, nothing happened. Brother took it, he has underlying conditions. My other little sister took it, [has] underlying conditions. My mother took it. It’s my job as a man to protect, to provide, and love for my family.”
Shaq Reveals He Lost Close Family Members To COVID
Just like many other people, Shaq had his doubts regarding the vaccine. However, when the vaccine was not available, he lost a few of his close family members to COVID. Moreover, he thinks people should feel lucky about the availability of the COVID vaccine as many diseases like HIV don’t have a vaccine yet. Furthermore, he said, “HIV had been around a long time, there’s no cure for that. Cancer has been around a long time with no cure for that. You come up with this in a year-and-a-half. I have all those concerns. However, I’ve seen people pass away from this… people close to me.”
