Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards
Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal recently opined: “I would like an expla
nation … [as to why] people with vaccines, why are they still getting COVID?
... Like, it's funny that, ‘Oh, it reduces your chances of going to the hospi
tal.’ It doesn't eliminate anybody from getting COVID, right?”
Beal日前谈到对接种COVID疫苗的疑问：
我想要一个解释，为什么那些接种了疫苗的人仍然会染疫？有趣的是，这只是减少了你去
医院的机率。这并不能阻止任何人染疫，对吧？
Next time you have a serious infection, don’t take the anti-biotics the docto
r prescribes because they don’t work 100 percent of the time. And when you’r
e playing basketball, don’t shoot the ball unless you score 100 percent of th
e time. Also, that question has been answered a thousand times by experts.
贾霸对此回应：下一次你出现严重的感染时，不要服用医生开的抗生素，因为它们并不是
100%有效。另外，在你打球的时候，如果你无法确保自己100%会得分，那就别投篮。顺便
一提，专家们已经回答这个问题上千次了。
Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins promised that he would “just keep
fighting for what I believe…what’s right to one person isn’t right to the o
ther.”
而围巾对接种疫苗的问题则表示：我会继续捍卫我的信念......对某个人来说正确的事情
，对其他人来说就不是。
Trying to make this a matter of principle would be fine, if there was a ration
al principle involved. It’s not being forced to be vaccinated, since no one
is forcing you. If you are so righteously committed to the principle, then don
’t play professional basketball. Stand firm on that principle. Unless money t
rumps principle.
贾霸：如果涉及理性原则，那么尝试将其作为原则问题是可以的，没有人强迫别人去接种
，没有人强迫你接种疫苗。但如果你如此坚持原则，那你就别打职业篮球了。坚决捍卫你
的原则去吧，除非最终金钱胜过了原则。
By the way, the whole “what’s right to one person isn’t right to the other
” idea sounds great, unless you realize society only exists because we consid
er the greater good to be more important than individual choices.
顺便一提，那个什么‘对某个人来说正确的事情，对其他人来说就不是’的观点听起来很
不错，除非你意识到社会之所以存在，是因为我们认为更大的利益比个人选择更为重要。
Try driving on the left side of the road, don’t pay taxes, don’t get your ch
ildren a polio vaccine. The problem with that vague philosophy is that the res
t of us pay for those sloppy thinkers because they are the ones clogging our h
ospitals, crushing our economy, and keeping us from our loved ones.
试着在道路上开车时靠左，别交税，不要给你的孩子接种小儿麻痺疫苗。问题是，我们其
他人需要为这些糟糕的思考者买单，因为他们堵塞了我们的医院，摧毁了我们的经济，还
让我们远离我们所爱之人。
The unvaccinated account for 97.3% of all COVID-19 cases. That says it all. An
d those who have COVID-19 but show no symptoms, may be spreading it to others
without ever knowing it. So, what’s right to one person isn’t right to the o
ther doesn’t work when you’re killing the other person.
未接种疫苗者染疫的比例占所有感染者的97.3%，那说明了一切。那些无症状感染者，可
能会在不知情的情况下将病毒传播给其他人。所以，当你在杀害其他人的时候，对某个人
来说正确的事情，对其他人来说就不是的观点是说不通的。
短评或心得：
贾霸真的很认真在关注这个议题
