Michael Porter Jr. Says He Doesn't Feel Comfortable Getting COVID-19 Vaccine

Nuggets small forward Michael Porter Jr. told the Denver Post doesn't feel comfortable getting the COVID-19 vaccine. He also shared he's contracted the virus twice.

“For me, I had COVID twice, I saw how my body reacted, and although the chances are slim, with the vaccine, there’s a chance you could have a bad reaction to it,” Porter told the Denver Post. “For me, I don’t feel comfortable."

Porter Jr. also said he's against a vaccine mandate for NBA players.

“My stance on the mandate is it definitely shouldn’t be a mandate," he said.
