Why the Warriors' Andrew Wiggins Controversy Was a Distraction

from Fifth & Mission · host San Francisco Chronicle

Golden State's starting small forward initially refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine, saying his back was "against the wall." He risked much of his multimillion-dollar salary because of San Francisco's indoor vaccination mandate but finally reversed his stance on Sunday. The drama around Wiggins, though, missed the real issue, says Chronicle columnist Justin Phillips: Lack of access to health care and information in the Black community. He joins host Cecilia Lei to talk about it. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod See also: Oakland's Vaccine Ambassadors: pod.fo/e/df916 Learn more about your ad choices.
