The NBA season is right around the corner, and arenas around the country will be at full capacity soon enough. Unfortunately with the ongoing pandemic, rules must be in place in order to ensure we all stay safe. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has rules in place at the American Airlines arena.
Some don’t think they’re fair, especially those who like to argue about the validity of masks and vaccines.
Enter professional troll Clay Travis. Clay and Mark had a debate about COVID and testing.
Check out all the tweets below:
Why don’t vaccinated people need to get a negative test too, Mark? They have less protection than people who had covid and recovered according to Israeli study of 700,000 people. Vaccinated people are spreading covid widely. This is all cosmetic theater: https://t.co/CXlcSCZlA5 https://t.co/0WKs067o16

And what did that study say people who had covid should do ? And where is the study that determines how long that natural immunity lasts ? You have no idea. It's a guess. The only certain way to extend or create any level of immunity , no matter how imperfect , is via the vaccine

Herd immunity, via recovery from covid, offers the best protection according to Israeli data. The goal of a vaccine is to mimic the results of an infection. Why treat people who had an actual covid infection more stringently than those who mimicked a covid infection?

You’re right that we don’t know for certain how long natural immunity lasts. But here’s what we do know, vaccinated immunity doesn’t last very long at all for many of the vaccinated. Which is why we already have covid booster shots.

But to give you actual numbers, 16k vaxxed, 15,762 didn't catch it. natural immunity, 15,981 didn't catch it. But again, both wane. Only ways to definitively extend that immunity is to be DAF and try to catch it again or get the shot. The shot wins every time

Wait. I thought we were discussing it. You need stand ins now ? Just read the study. Read the newer studies. Natural Immunity wanes. Like immunity from shots. But I have to ask , are you suggesting that going forward people try to catch covid again rather than getting vaccinated?

Which is why I’m asking why you aren’t requiring proof of boosters for attendance. You’re selling the illusion of safety and virtue to your customers while providing neither.

Mark Cuban should know better than to engage with COVID Trolls.
Clay Travis is one of those guys that will say just about anything to make a buck. Very on brand for the Fox News owned Outkick.
