Orchard Park, NY (WBEN) Buffalo Bills receiver Cole Beasley is calling out fans booing him during Sunday's game against Houston. Beasley has been outspoken against getting the COVID19 vaccine.
Beasley tweeted his anger Monday about fans booing and heckling him to get the vaccine.
Only place I get boo'd is at our home stadium. Then some of the same people want me to take pictures and sign autographs. I thought bills fans were the best in the world? Where'd they go? If the vaccine works then why do vaxxed people need to be protected from unvaxxed? #letemin

While some fans said they heard the "Beeeease" chant, Beasley says "Some are. Then I got some right behind the bench yelling at me to get vaccinated and talking (expletive)." He adds players "can get covid from a vaccinated person. There are plenty examples of that throughout the NFL."
Fully vaccinated individuals can still transmit the virus, although the Centers for Disease Control says being vaccinated against Covid-19 substantially reduces your risk of hospitalization and death.
Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban entered the Twitter fray, explaining about the need to protect people from COVID as "good for business."
Yes Cole, they can get it from a vaccinated person. But there are hundreds of millions of vaccinated people they can't catch it from because those people got vaccinated and didn't catch covid. That Cole is the entire point. The more people that are vaccinated the lower the chance https://t.co/owNYznzmS4

Beasley has refused to get a vaccine. Erie County requires fans to show proof of vaccination as conditions of admission to Highmark Stadium.
