“Just to be clear COVID is not keeping me out of this game. The rules are,†he wrote. “Vaxxed players are playing with Covid every week now because they don’t test. One of my vaxxed teammates is in the hospital missing games. I’m sure he didn’t get this same energy. Thank you for those who support. Everyone else, if you don’t get what’s happening then there is nothing anybody can do for you.â€
He later added as a response to Bills lineman Jon Feliciano, who is also on the reserve/COVID-19 list, that hospitals are promoting certain treatments instead of others because “then they can’t make money on the vaccine.â€
This summer, Beasley was outspoken on social media about this thoughts on the COVID-19 vaccine.
In August, Beasley was fined for violating the league’s COVID-19 protocols for unvaccinated players by failing to wear a mask inside the team’s facility. He was also placed the COVID-19 list after being designated a close contact with a member of the team’s training staff, but tested negative at the time.
