Buffalo Bills fans have various opinions on Josh Allen’s recent comments about the vaccine.
The Buffalo Bills quarterback told the Ringer Podcast that he is still debating whether to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and believes the decision be left to a personal choice.
“I’m still debating that,” Allen said on the “10 Questions with Kyle Brandt” podcast.
“I’m a big statistics and logical guy. So if the statistics show it’s the right thing for me to do, I’d do it. Again, I’d lean the other way too if that’s what it said. I haven’t been paying attention to it as much as maybe I should have.”
The 24-year-old reinforced he is taking safety measures.
“I’ve just been doing my thing and masking up when I’m going out,” Allen said, “and just staying close and hanging around family.”
The league is not planning to mandate player vaccinations before teams regroup, but they are planning to eliminate some restrictions from its current COVID-19 protocols for vaccinated players, coaches and personnel.
“I think everybody should have that choice to do it or not to do it,” Josh Allen said. “You get in this tricky situation now where if you do mandate that that’s kind of going against what our constitution says and the freedom to kind of express yourself one way or the other. I think we’re in a time where that’s getting a lot harder to do. Everybody should have that choice.”
