Former NFL running back, Marshawn Lynch sat down with chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci to discuss vaccine hesitancy, education and science behind the COVID-19 vaccine and more.
In a 30 minute interview, Lynch aka Beastmode and Dr. Fauci talked about the safety of the vaccine which Lynch began by talking about why some African Americans are so reluctant to get the vaccine.
Fauci stressed how safe it is due to research and that it’s been tested by thousands of people.

“It is safe because we tested it in tens of thousands of people, including African Americans and Hispanics,” Fauci explained.
Lynch also brought up concerns about if the vaccine will become mandatory in order to rejoin the normal world. Fauci said while the United States hasn’t gotten to that point, other countries have made it mandatory.
Although Lynch hasn’t received the vaccine yet, he mentioned, he wants to make sure he’s educated and others in the African American community are informed about the vaccine.
“I’m not saying I’m opposed or I’m telling my people not to get,” Lynch told Fauci. “I do want to know, I want to get educated more about the fact that this is something (some African Americans) do not feel like they want to do.

Forgot About Russell Westbrook?: Twitter Is Giving Kevin Durant The Side-Eye For His Top 5 List of Teammates
[caption id="attachment_423699" align="alignnone" width="1000"] Source: Jayne Kamin-Oncea / Getty[/caption] Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant is once again the topic of discussion on Twitter again. No, he did not jump in Michael Rapaport's DMs on Instagram and flame him again for the culture. This time it's becuase of his rather interesting top 5 list. Initially, Durant was being talked about after suffering a left thigh contusion which forced him to be taken out of the game. The Nets wound up losing to the Miami Heat thanks to a buzzer-beating shot by Bam Adebayo. https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1383871717387292677?s=20 Remarkably the concern about whether the injury was serious or not quickly subsided when a clip of Durant on Gillie Da Kid's Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. In the clip that has garnered a lot of attention and had everyone giving Durant major side-eye, he was asked to list the top 5 players he has hooped with during his time in the league, and in the video initially being shared, he said, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Serge Ibaka in that order. https://twitter.com/RTNBA/status/1383940335408091144?s=20 Gillie Da Kid, his co-host, and NBA Twitter were all flummoxed after viewing the clip becuase we all knew he forgot someone on that list, Russell Westbrook, and it spawned many reactions. https://twitter.com/yng___gunner/status/1383968970072412178?s=20 Now, with anything posted on the internet, there is always more to the story. The first clip wound up being just part of the conversation. Durant would amend his list by adding Westbrook and totally removing Ibaka from the list. We acknowledge Ibaka as the style god of the NBA, debate your swaggerless Uncle, but he should not be in the top 5 of Durant's best teammates. https://twitter.com/HoodieKD7/status/1383945860145311745?s=20 Regardless, folks are still finding it a bit strange that KD would forget about Russell Westbrook at all and had to be reminded. You can peep the reactions in the gallery below. Photo: Jayne Kamin-Oncea / Getty
