U.S. Surgeon General Calls Out LeBron James, Urges Him To Get Vaccinated & Lead By Example

The global coronavirus pandemic has been turning the entire world upside down for almost a year now.

Thankfully though, the finish line appears to be in sight, as multiple vaccines hit the market, with some already being used to vaccinate people.

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams now made a public appearance, urging people to continue to keep following the rules, until this finish line has indeed been reached. More so, Adams called out LeBron James to lead by example and help spread confidence to the public by getting vaccinated.

“LeBron James, I know you’ve been a big supporter of masks. I want to know when you’re going to take the shot. Not the basketball shot, but the COVID shot. Because I did it because I know it’s safe, and we want to make sure people understand this is how we end the pandemic…

…I think that’s how we promote confidence, and we want people to lead by example.”
