Will Cain touts Kyrie Irving for vaccine decision: 'Give him credit for his principle'

'Fox & Friends Weekend' co-host Will Cain argues Kyrie Irvine was made into a scapegoat for his decision not to take the COVID vaccine.

"Fox & Friends Weekend" co-host Will Cain praised Kyrie Irving for standing by his principles, costing him more than $100 million over his decision not to receive the COVID vaccine. On "Fox & Friends" Tuesday, Cain also touted the many Americans who sacrificed their jobs and income in order to uphold their principles.

KYRIE IRVING BASHES ERIC ADAMS AFTER LATEST NYC VACCINE MANDATE CHANGE: ‘BIGGEST VIOLATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS’

WILL CAIN: They say, ‘Well, just get the shot, man. Just get the shot.’ How intrusive? How totally ignorant of privacy is that type of response? That, ‘hey, man, just make this medical decision for everybody else,’ even though it doesn't do anything for everybody else. And I like that you say this, Brian, because it's so important. Look, it is a lot to give up $100 million, but Kyrie's going to be okay. He has and will make millions and millions more. It's a lot. And you have to ask how many of us out there would go ‘100 million, shot or no shot?’ So you've got to give Kyrie credit for his principle. But there are average Americans out there that gave up 100% of their income, gave up their job on principle. And we as a society, not you, not me, but as a society, we tolerated this really this ugly instinct to scapegoat others.
