Cleveland Indians’ James Karinchak takes anti-vaccine stance on social media
Updated Apr 07, 2021;
CLEVELAND, Ohio If the Indians get 85% of their traveling party vaccinated, many of the health and safety protocols in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus will be loosened. Apparently that 85% will not include right-hander James Karinchak.
While part of the Indians’ traveling party was being vaccinated at Progressive Field during Wednesday’s off-day, Karinchak added an anti-vaccine post from Jay Nera to his Instagram story. The post used a quote attributed to Hermann Goering, a convicted war criminal and a leader of the Nazi party during World War II, about how it is possible to control people through fear.
