There’s no denying it, COVID is now the most politicized thing on the planet, and that’s really sad, and it’s just another thing that’s further dividing our already divided country. From masks to lockdowns to vaccines and everything in between, Americans are split right down the middle over this virus.
It’s gotten so bad that when someone who opposes vaccines dies of COVID, the left (verified accounts on Twitter) celebrate.

I don’t see any verified accounts on the right celebrating when a vaccinated person dies – not saying it’s not out there – but what I see are conservatives sharing those stories and asking a lot of serious questions about how this vaccine works. In addition, there are a lot of healthy people who suddenly drop dead after getting the vaccine. I don’t see those deaths celebrated; I see people really concerned and worried, though.
However, when someone pushing the vaccine suddenly catches COVID, I do see many people on the right making a lot of jokes. And that’s especially the case with someone like LeBron James.
LeBron isn’t a popular person in right-wing circles, so it’s not shocking that he’d get railed for pretty much anything.
The controversial NBA player has been in the spotlight a lot recently; after he appeared to go off the rails, fighting, getting thrown out of games and fined, making rude gestures, and having fans ejected from the game. Some wondered if he was “losing it.”
Well, now we just found out that double-vaccinated LeBron actually has tested positive for COVID, so maybe that was the issue? He was cranky because he didn’t feel good?
Who knows…
At any rate, when the word spread about LeBron’s COVID, many people had a laugh. Now, I’ve had COVID, and I don’t wish sickness on anyone, no matter how much I dislike them, but I am sure that a big, strong, healthy guy like LeBron will be just fine. After all, there’s a 99.8 survival rate.
But one conservative comedians’ observational tweet has sparked a lot of debate.
Tim Young, a popular right-wing funny guy took to Twitter where he said: “COVID is the first thing LeBron’s ever got from China that wasn’t made by slaves.”
Ouch!

Many liberals missed the point completely and lashed out at Tim for saying anything about “China.”
“Hey U got anything made in china hyprocrite?”
“You tweeted this on a device from which certainly some…if not all…the parts were made in China…”
“I’m not really into the NBA like that, but why are White people so obsessed with Lebron speaking out against China? WTF do y’all want him to say? When did LeBron become the US ambassador to China?”
“Pretending to care about human rights issues in china to slander a Lebron is next level wild”
While others pointed out the obvious:
“and can we stop calling them “breakthrough” cases. there’s nothing breakthrough about it. LeBron will be just fine just like Aaron Rodgers was just fine. You want to know why? because, vaccinated or not, they’re both young and healthy.”
“Vaccinated LeBron James out indefinitely under NBA’s coronavirus health and safety protocols. Hmmm…is he a super spreader?”
“I hope he recovers but karma caught him”
“Tweet of the year folks! Give him the trophy!”
“Just like his shoes, his salary, and his politics, LeBron’s diseases are also made in China. “
“This is more accurate than LeBron’s mid-range shot”
Any way that you slice it, clearly this vaccine isn’t working the way it was marketed to work.
This is how it was “sold” to the American people:
“Vaccinated health care workers are protected from COVID and cannot spread it.” -Joe Biden

And now, they’ve moved the goalpost and said the vaccine “helps make the virus less intense.”
The problem is, the virus is already less intense in healthy and most semi-healthy people as it is.
