Chris Rock made sure he made his feelings towards anti-vaxxers well known as he mocked Kyrie Irving and his anti-vaccine stand
Prior to the ongoing edition of NBA 2021, Kyrie Irving had made it vehemently clear that he wasn’t going to adhere to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate in New York. And although it deterred him from stepping out for Brooklyn Nets, the player was adamant that he wasn’t going to budge from his position.
Chris Rocks Takes A Swipe At Kyrie Irving And His Anti-Vaccine Position
The Nets who had, had enough of Irving’s posturing decided to eventually suspend the player from any kind of activity with the team to completely rule out the player from any kind of games and practice till he got his vaccine doses. Chris Rock has now weighed in on the entire situation with him handing Kyrie a dressing down.

Chris was onstage in Brooklyn along with a raft of bands and comedians who were performing at an NFT Week event. Chris went onto lambast anti-vaxxers during his bit with a joke about wearing face masks at concerts as he asked, “Where’s my anti-vaxxers at?”
The question which managed to draw in a couple of cheers saw Chris retort with, “You dumb, Kyrie motherf******!!!”
Chris also went onto crack a joke on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine during the event which also saw Lil Baby, Questlove, Aziz Ansari, and Rich the Kid perform.
Despite Chris’ joke on him, it looks extremely unlikely that Irving will shift from his stand. The player has denied any kind of intervention with him even claiming that he wasn’t anti-vaccine but was irked by the strong arm tactics of the governance to force people into getting vaccinated.
