Shams: Kyrie Irving not anti-vaccine, just wants to make a point

原文超长,以下节录重点:
Multiple sources with direct knowledge of Irving’s decision have told The
Athletic that Irving is not anti-vaccine and that his stance is that he is
upset that people are losing their jobs due to vaccine mandates. It’s a
stance that Irving has explained to close teammates. To him, this is about a
grander fight than the one on the court and Irving is challenging a perceived
control of society and people’s livelihood, according to sources with
knowledge of Irving’s mindset. It is a decision that he believes he is
capable to make given his current life dynamics. “Kyrie wants to be a voice
for the voiceless,” one source said.
Irving 不是反对疫苗,他是对人民有可能因为拒打疫苗就丢掉工作这件事情在不爽,
而Irving已经把他的观点告诉跟他比较亲近的队友了。
对他来说,这是比篮球比赛更伟大的战斗,他要挑战对社会跟人民的认知控制,
考虑到他本身的生命动力(注),Irving觉得他自己能成功。
He’s a seven-time All-Star, two-time All-NBA member and former Rookie of the
Year who now stands to lose over $200 million by deciding to use his platform
to stand up for his stance of each and every person being able to decide for
themselves on whether they should take the vaccine without impacts on job
statuses. However, the fact of the matter is there are consequences for being
unvaccinated in some industries and municipalities. Just as Irving wants to
stick with his principle belief on the matter, policies and requirements are
subject to local and federal governments.
简单来说就是:他决定用他的名气来为每一位不愿意打疫苗的人民的工作权发声。
文章中其实还质疑虽然Shams说Irving不是反疫苗,
但其实日前Irving才发过以下这样的推文:
I am protected by God and so are my people. We stand together.
所以没人知道Irving真正在想啥。
