Owings Mills, Maryland - The Baltimore Ravens star quarterback, who’s just rejoined his team from his second bout with Covid-19 is still trying to determine whether or not the vaccine is right for him.

Lamar Jackson, the NFL Most Valuable Player in 2019, still isn't so hot on the Covid-19 vaccine, at least for the moment.

The 24-year-old has been having trouble getting back on track with his team after being quarantined for about 10 days. This was the second time in eight months that he’s had to be kept away from the Ravens, because of the coronavirus. Despite all this, he's still in no rush to get vaccinated, calling it a "personal decision."

As he said to reporters after Monday’s practice session, he wants to "keep learning as much as I can about it."

Jackson was also quoted by the Associated Press as saying: "I got to talk to my team about this and see how they feel about it... I'm just trying to work at getting better right now. I just got off Covid. I'm worried about my teammates. We're trying to get somewhere. Time will come about that."

Jackson’s not the only well-known American professional athlete to have his "reservations" about taking the vaccine.

Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins and Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley have been adamant that the vaccine might not be their best option. MLB slugger Anthony Rizzo, who still isn’t vaccinated, just caught Covid and, as a cancer survivor, he's among the high-risk population that definitely should've had a shot by now.

PGA golfer Bryson DeChambeau just returned to the tour after having fought off the virus, claiming his reasons for not vaccinating was to "give the vaccine to people who need it," and that "the vaccine doesn't necessarily prevent [Covid] from happening," an opinion Lamar Jackson might be experimenting with.

It seems unlikely that these athletes have any intention of changing their minds. All the scientific evidence is abundantly clear and vaccinations are widely available for those in their demographic, they just don’t seem to want it, regardless of the risks. Even further, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) consistently reports that unvaccinated people account for the vast majority of Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths in the US.

There might not be a "zero-tolerance" vaccine mandate at this point in time, but it still feels like this approach is playing the odds with their own and others' health and safety.
