NBA Legend John Stockton Makes Massive Claim That ‘Thousands of Athletes Died Due to Vaccination

Unquestionably, John Stockton, whose on-court friendship with Karl Malone gave the Utah Jazz their heyday, is one of the NBA’s greatest players. But despite Stockton’s prowess on the court, he has a history of making outlandish claims without sufficient evidence. On a recent episode of the Sideline Sanity podcast, John Stockton argued that the number of athletes who had died after receiving the COVID vaccine was understated at the time. He now claims that it may have caused the deaths of 1,000 elite athletes. The Miami Heat was one of the first teams to sponsor a vaccination developed to combat COVID-19.

John Stockton makes shocking statement on vaccination

“I got it from a lot of places, otherwise I would have never had the confidence to share it. That’s the beauty of it,” Stockton said about the stat he mentioned in his interview. “I have quite a system that I go through before I open my mouth, especially with statistics, and I knew that at that time 150 was dramatically low. I thought it was in the area of 300.”

“It’s way more than that now. I think it’s in the thousands now but don’t quote me on that one,” the NBA legend said. “I don’t say a thousand but it might be, it’s a big number.”

When John Stockton initially asserted it, it was swiftly found to be untrue. He then elaborated on his assertions after having previously discussed his opinions on the interview.
