John Stockton is at it again.
After previously making the bonkers claim that thousands of pro athletes died from getting vaccinated against COVID-19, the NBA legend is now railing against the state of medicine.
Stockton made a recent appearance on the Gonzaga Fan Nation podcast. That eventually went off the rails when he discussed his health throughout his playing career with host Dan Dickau, a fellow former Gonzaga University and NBA player himself.
Before giving Stockton the floor on his platform to make more absurd claims, Dickau said that Stockton was “unfairly criticized” for his “truthful statements about COVID.” Dickau claimed that Stockon was healthier than probably anyone in NBA history, so, therefore, he should be the trusted authority on all things medicine.
“Medicine is not good for us,” Stockton said. “It’s chemicals that we don’t need, and yet we just keep forcing it on folks.”
Stockton blamed medicine as the reason behind psychological and neurological problems.
“We keep forcing [medicine] on folks to their detriment,” Stockton said.
Of course, Stockton’s past claims of active professional athletes dying from the COVID vaccine are wild conspiracy theories and certainly should absolve him from making claims in the medical field. That didn’t seem to stop Dickau from giving the former Utah Jazz star a platform, in which he universally agreed with many of Stockton’s baseless claims.
