Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley, a vocal opponent of the COVID-19 vaccine, has been in the NFL’s health and safety protocols after a staff member tested positive and he was deemed a close contact. Beasley responded to his situation on Thursday, and was critical of the stipulations that are keeping him sidelined.
Responding to fellow wideout Isaiah McKenzie, who was cited by the league for not wearing a mask around the Bills’ facility, Beasley questioned why masks were necessary in the first place based on his specific incident.
One way to “make it make sense” is for Beasley to get vaccinated. Instead, he’s perpetually intent on being defiant in the face of a global pandemic.
Meanwhile, Beasley is manufacturing conflict with his teammates. Reigning NFL receiving champion Stefon Diggs called out Beasley earlier this offseason over his anti-vaccine rhetoric. Apparently, it only egged Beasley on, as he created an anti-vaccination rap to promote his “pro-choice” stance.
