Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns has had enough of people's excuses when it comes to avoiding COVID-19 vaccines.

Towns took to Twitter on Tuesday to air his opinion on the matter, doing so with much enthusiasm.

Since the pandemic began, people's lives have changed. Loved ones were lost. The unemployment rate spiked. Healthcare systems became exhausted. The vaccines are considered as game-changers in the fight against the virus, but a total team effort is necessary if communities hope to achieve herd immunity.

Masks are still part of everyday life. Vaccinations are still ongoing. The risk of losing every bit of progress gained since the pandemic started is still looming.

Vaccines have become a polarizing topic to some, but it's difficult to deny hard evidence from the science itself juxtaposed to conspiracy theories from different social media outlets or bogus sites.

Expect more action from Karl-Anthony Towns and the Timberwolves as they aim to influence people to get vaccinated.
