WATCH: @sam_baker & @bryanrwalsh host a conversation on COVID testing in a post-vaccine world featuring @michaelmina_lab, @JenniferNuzzo and @mtosterholm.
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
.@JenniferNuzzo: "While vaccines are incredibly important...the reality is the vast majority of us are still not protected from this virus by having been vaccinated. That is all the more reason why all of the measures that we have been using for the last year remain essential."
@JenniferNuzzo On vaccine passports: "I think passports are kind of a shortcut that take our eyes off the ball of needing to make sure that all countries have access. And we won't be in a good situation if we just exacerbate the disparities that already exist."

@TheKendallBaker @NialaBoodhoo @JalenRose @Chargers @J_ManPrime21 .@JalenRose: “[Muhammed Ali] would have been the first billion dollar athlete. So with money comes power. It gives you an opportunity for ownership, it gives you a chance to control your narrative. That’s what players today have, along with social media.”
@TheKendallBaker @NialaBoodhoo @JalenRose @Chargers @J_ManPrime21 .@JalenRose on investing in young people: “I feel like the 8 most important years of a young person’s life are the 4 that they’re in high school or the 4 that they could be in college. You ask any adult where their goals or dreams went awry, it’s during that 8-year period.”

🏈HARD TRUTHS DEEP DIVE: SPORTS

We think of sports as the great equalizer. But from youth sports to the professional world, glaring inequities, often along racial lines, mirror our society.

In theory, sports are an escape. In reality, they are a mirror — often perpetuating the most unjust aspects of society.

At each step along the athlete's journey, there are glaring inequities, often along racial lines, @TheKendallBaker writes.

Throughout history, white American athletes have been afforded the opportunity to improve unimpeded while minorities have been left to scratch and claw for every inch.
