HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Abbie Parr / Getty After refusing to take the vaccine and risk forfeiting millions of dollars on his NBA contract, Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins finally got the jab, but don’t think for a second he’s happy about that fact. CNN is reporting that after holding out on getting the vaccine for “personal reasons,” Wiggins finally gave in knowing he’d lose millions if he sat out the season. Saying it came down to getting the vaccine or not playing ball, Wiggins says he felt “forced” to get the shot and will now fear what will become of him in 10 years as conspiracy theorists say the vaccine will come back to haunt the vaccinated in about a decade. What’s more interesting is that Wiggins got the Johnson & Johnson shot which some studies sh...
