Actor and comedian Rob Schneider suggested that NBA legend Dikembe Mutombo’s death from brain cancer may have been linked to the controversial COVID vaccines.
The NBA announced that the towering 7-foot-2 Hall of Fame center, who was an imposing presence on the hardwood during his stellar 18-year professional career, had passed away at age 58, losing his battle with the disease.
As the sports and political world paid tribute to the African-born “Mount Mutombo” who was best known for his defensive prowess and signature finger-wagging at opponents, the former SNL star had a slightly different take.
“Rest in Peace…I’m sure this is just (another) coincidence. But I took a pass on the Jab and I’m gonna not let anyone I know (and who will Listen) get it either!” Schneider wrote in a Monday post to X, sharing a December 2021 video of Mutombo urging people to listen to the World Health Organization (WHO) and get jabbed for the holidays.
Rest in Peace…
I’m sure this is just (another) coincidence.

Schneider has consistently expressed skepticism about the jabs and the authoritarian measures imposed by leftists during one of the darkest periods in the nation’s history.
“Just say no…And keep saying no…Over Half of the US population is continuing to say no to this unapproved experimental gene therapy! ‘My body, my choice!’” Schneider said in a July 2021 post to Twitter which has since rebranded as X.
“I had the privilege of traveling the world with Dikembe and seeing first-hand how his generosity and compassion uplifted people. He was always accessible at NBA events over the years — with his infectious smile, deep booming voice, and signature finger wag that endeared him to basketball fans of every generation,” NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement.

“Dikembe’s indomitable spirit continues on in those who he helped and inspired throughout his extraordinary life. I am one of the many people whose lives were touched by Dikembe’s big heart and I will miss him dearly,” Silver added.
A renowned humanitarian, Mutombo was known for his charitable contributions to Africa and his native Democratic Republic of Congo where his foundation spearheaded the building of a 300-bed hospital in Kinshasa, the country’s capital city.
A collegiate sensation with the Georgetown Hoyas who once blocked 12 shots in a single game, Mutombo was picked fourth overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 1991 draft.
He would star with the team for five seasons and led a stunning 1994 playoff upset as the Nuggets toppled the top-seeded Seattle Supersonics in the first round, becoming the first-ever eighth-seeded team to accomplish the feat.
Mutombo would go on to play for five other teams, the Atlanta Hawks, Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks, and Houston Rockets during his storied NBA career. He retired after the 2008-09 season.
