According to Bally Sports, sources close to Kyrie Irving claim at he lied about his logic as Irving didn’t want to be called an anti-vaxxer. Instead of that, Kyrie simply doesn’t trust the vaccine and just refuses to take it entirely.

“Those closest to him also have shared that Irving knows anything he says will be magnified and scrutinized and he doesn’t want to be viewed as an anti-vaxxer. He’s not taking this stance to be a voice for the voiceless. He’s just not trusting of the available vaccines, according to sources.

Irving also does not want to get vaccinated because of bad experiences with his health due to basketball injuries over the years.”
