In a session of the Cortes Generales, the Spanish parliament, Wednesday morning, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Spain’s head of government, blasted Kyrie Irving over his reported dalliance with COVID-19 vaccine conspiracy theories.
“I have been a basketball fan for many years, and I follow the NBA basketball league a lot,” Sanchez, a member of Spain’s ruling Socialist Workers’ Party, told the parliament. “Nowadays, there is a problem in the NBA itself. There are several players who have spoken out against vaccinations. There is an NBA star who says he does not want to vaccinate because there is a conspiracy to vaccinate blacks and connect them with a computer that has a Satanic plan.
