Period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI may die of covid, but I\u2019d rather die actually living,\u201d he continued the post, adding, \u201cI\u2019d rather take my chances with Covid and build up my immunity that way. Eat better. Drink water. Exercise and do what I think is necessary to be a healthy individual. That is MY CHOICE based on MY experiences and what I think is best.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll play for free this year to live life how I\u2019ve lived it from day one,\u201d Beasley said. \u201cIf I\u2019m forced into retirement, so be it. \u2026&nbsp;My way of living and my values and [sic] more important to me than a dollar.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fox News also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/cowboys-dak-prescott-vaccination-status-educate-themselves\">highlighted<\/a> comments from Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who said back in April that&nbsp; mandating the vaccine would go \u201cagainst what our Constitution says.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
