Bradley Beal, Washington Wizards
Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal recently opined: “I would like an expla
nation … [as to why] people with vaccines, why are they still getting COVID?
... Like, it's funny that, ‘Oh, it reduces your chances of going to the hospi
tal.’ It doesn't eliminate anybody from getting COVID, right?”
Beal日前談到對接種COVID疫苗的疑問：
我想要一個解釋，為什麼那些接種了疫苗的人仍然會染疫？有趣的是，這只是減少了你去
醫院的機率。這並不能阻止任何人染疫，對吧？
Next time you have a serious infection, don’t take the anti-biotics the docto
r prescribes because they don’t work 100 percent of the time. And when you’r
e playing basketball, don’t shoot the ball unless you score 100 percent of th
e time. Also, that question has been answered a thousand times by experts.
賈霸對此回應：下一次你出現嚴重的感染時，不要服用醫生開的抗生素，因為它們並不是
100%有效。另外，在你打球的時候，如果你無法確保自己100%會得分，那就別投籃。順便
一提，專家們已經回答這個問題上千次了。
Golden State Warriors guard Andrew Wiggins promised that he would “just keep
fighting for what I believe…what’s right to one person isn’t right to the o
ther.”
而圍巾對接種疫苗的問題則表示：我會繼續捍衛我的信念......對某個人來說正確的事情
，對其他人來說就不是。
Trying to make this a matter of principle would be fine, if there was a ration
al principle involved. It’s not being forced to be vaccinated, since no one
is forcing you. If you are so righteously committed to the principle, then don
’t play professional basketball. Stand firm on that principle. Unless money t
rumps principle.
賈霸：如果涉及理性原則，那麼嘗試將其作為原則問題是可以的，沒有人強迫別人去接種
，沒有人強迫你接種疫苗。但如果你如此堅持原則，那你就別打職業籃球了。堅決捍衛你
的原則去吧，除非最終金錢勝過了原則。
By the way, the whole “what’s right to one person isn’t right to the other
” idea sounds great, unless you realize society only exists because we consid
er the greater good to be more important than individual choices.
順便一提，那個什麼‘對某個人來說正確的事情，對其他人來說就不是’的觀點聽起來很
不錯，除非你意識到社會之所以存在，是因為我們認為更大的利益比個人選擇更為重要。
Try driving on the left side of the road, don’t pay taxes, don’t get your ch
ildren a polio vaccine. The problem with that vague philosophy is that the res
t of us pay for those sloppy thinkers because they are the ones clogging our h
ospitals, crushing our economy, and keeping us from our loved ones.
試著在道路上開車時靠左，別交稅，不要給你的孩子接種小兒麻痺疫苗。問題是，我們其
他人需要為這些糟糕的思考者買單，因為他們堵塞了我們的醫院，摧毀了我們的經濟，還
讓我們遠離我們所愛之人。
The unvaccinated account for 97.3% of all COVID-19 cases. That says it all. An
d those who have COVID-19 but show no symptoms, may be spreading it to others
without ever knowing it. So, what’s right to one person isn’t right to the o
ther doesn’t work when you’re killing the other person.
未接種疫苗者染疫的比例占所有感染者的97.3%，那說明了一切。那些無症狀感染者，可
能會在不知情的情況下將病毒傳播給其他人。所以，當你在殺害其他人的時候，對某個人
來說正確的事情，對其他人來說就不是的觀點是說不通的。
短評或心得：
賈霸真的很認真在關注這個議題
