The Spokane Spokesman-Review reports:
During the interview, John Stockton asserted that more than 100 professional athletes have died of vaccination. He also said tens of thousands of people – perhaps millions – have died from vaccines.
“I think it’s highly recorded now, there’s 150 I believe now, it’s over 100 professional athletes dead – professional athletes – the prime of their life, dropping dead that are vaccinated, right on the pitch, right on the field, right on the court,” Stockton said in the interview.
Such claims are dubious and not backed by science, nor are they deemed credible by medical professionals, according to FactCheck.org, a project of The Annenberg Public Policy Center, and research reported by PolitiFact, which is run by the Poynter Institute.
Mediaite reports:
Last year, the Utah Jazz great appeared in an anti-vax documentary titled, Covid and the Vaccine: Truth Lies, and Misconceptions Revealed. In the film, Stockton claimed to have done a “significant amount of research” on Covid and the vaccines.
Stockton has had his season tickets temporarily revoked to Gonzaga basketball — a program for which he is the most famed alumnus — because of his refusal to comply with the school’s mask mandate at games.
As it turns out, NBA Hall of Famer, John Stockton is both an abject moron and an incomprehensibly huge asshole. https://t.co/qJ3tpRW6KL

I sat down with John Stockton. We didn’t talk much basketball, but the Hall of Fame guard discussed his ban from #Gonzaga games, his controversial views on COVID-19 and why he believes vaccines are more harmful than the virus itself.https://t.co/KlfiGHaFDl pic.twitter.com/JXDvCUpxoc
