賈霸抨擊LBJ的蜘蛛人迷因

LeBron James is not only one of the greatest basketball players ever, he’s comm
itted to being a leader in the African American community in the fight against i
nequality. But his Thursday Instagram meme showing three cartoon Spider-Men poin
ting at each other—one labeled “covid,” one labeled “flu,” one labeled “co
ld”—with his message: “Help me out folks” was a blow to his worthy legacy. T
he meme’s implication is that Lakers star doesn’t understand the difference am
ong these three illnesses, even after all the information that’s been presented
in the press. Well, since he asked, let me help him out by explaining the diffe
rence—and how knowing that difference might save lives, especially in the Black
community.

LBJ不僅是有史以來最偉大的籃球運動員之一，也致力於成為美國黑人社區領袖。不過，他
星期四在IG上發的三個卡通蜘蛛俠互相指著對方，分別標記為“新冠”、“流感”、“感冒
”，並且他的配文表示，“請大家幫我辨認一下。”這是對他偉大的一種打擊。該迷因的含
義
是，即使媒體已經提供了所有資訊，這位湖人球星仍不了解這三種疾病之間的區別。好吧，
既然他問了，讓我透過解釋差異來幫助他——以及知道這種差異如何挽救生命，尤其是在黑
人社區。

To directly address LeBron’s confusion, no one thinks colds and the flu aren’t
serious. In the 2019-2020 flu season, 400,000 people were hospitalized and 22,0
00 people died. In 2020, 385,428 people died of COVID-19, while so far in 2021,
423,558 have died in the U.S., for a total of 808,986 deaths. Experts agree that
COVID-19 is at least 10 times more lethal than the flu. As for the common cold,
death is extremely rare.

為了直接解決LBJ的困惑，沒有人認為感冒和流感不嚴重。在2019-2020流感季節，400,000
人住院治療，22,000人死亡。2020年，有385,428人死於 COVID-19，而到2021年為止，美國
已有423,558人死亡，總計共808,986人死亡。專家一致認為，COVID-19 的致死率至少是流
感的 10 倍。至於普通感冒，死亡極為罕見。

However, LeBron James, if you’re concerned about the flu, then help promote the
flu vaccination. In the 2019-2020 flu season, only 51.8% in the U.S. were vacci
nated, well below the 70% that is the target. Worse, the vaccination rate is 20%
lower among Blacks than whites and as a result they have the highest hospitaliz
ation rate due to flu of any other group. This is due to vaccination hesitancy t
hat your meme promotes.

但是，LBJ，如果你擔心流感，那麼請幫助宣傳接種流感疫苗。在2019-2020流感季節，美國
只有51.8%的人接種了疫苗，遠低於70%的目標。更糟糕的是，黑人的疫苗接種率比白人低20
%，因此他們因流感而住院的比率最高。這是由於你的迷因促使疫苗接種的猶豫不決。

One way to help the Black community to overcome their hesitancy and save lives i
s for prominent Black celebrities and influencers to continue to encourage every
one to get vaccinated and their boosters. Immunization, whether from vaccines or
having had the disease, lessens over time and makes people vulnerable for reinf
ection.

幫助黑人社區克服猶豫不決和挽救生命的一個方法是，知名黑人領袖和名人繼續鼓勵每個人
接種疫苗，並鼓勵他們的支持者接種疫苗。無論是來自疫苗還是患有疾病的免疫接種，都會
隨著時間的推移而減少，並使人們容易再次感染。

While LeBron is a necessary and dynamic voice critical of police brutality again
st the Black community, he needs to be the same necessary and dynamic advocate w
ith vaccines, which could save thousands of Black lives right now. The racism is
just as real—and just as lethal—in both cases.

雖然LBJ是批評警察對黑人社區暴行的必要且活躍的聲音，但他同樣也需要成為必要且活躍
的疫苗倡導者，疫苗現在可以挽救成千上萬的黑人生命。在這兩種情況下，種族主義都同樣
真實——同樣致命。
