The Orlando Magic forward has not made an appearance since 2019 due to a series of terrible injuries. But it seemed as though he was ready to take on another battle on his stance against the vaccine. Isaac expressed his opinion to Allie Beth Stuckey of The Blaze claim that the mandate was “forced” onto innocent people who lost their jobs, while being denied of their freedom.
“I didn’t enjoy the way it was being pushed. Again for myself, I’m young, I’m healthy. I already had COVID in the past. I had already spoken to several doctors it and I was like I don’t see the wisdom in putting this into my body. Risking having some type of possible adverse reaction and still bring possible to get the virus and transmit it anyway.”
