COVID Memo from the NFL

[Sassy Squatch]

Here’s more from today’s memo, which also says the team responsible for a canceled game because of an outbreak among unvaccinated players/staff will be responsible for financial losses and subject to potential discipline from the commissioner. Wow. pic.twitter.com/Q86a2WcG1K

For months I was told by the CP brain trust that masks work.

I don't understand why you'd continually test people once they've either had covid or been vaccinated if they aren't showing symptoms?

1.) Nothing is 100%, but you know this;

2.) Masks don't do as much as they are capable of when 40% of the population refuses to wear them even when it's mandated.


If everyone had worn a mask when asked, we wouldn't be in this position. And had everyone accepted the vax when offered, we wouldn't be seeing this level of mutation/variants.

But whatevs, I'm vaxxed and the people I care about are vaxxed - so I'm confident no one I care about is gonna end up in the hospital, on a vent, or dead.

Meanwhile, the folks that yell the loudest about "muh freedumbs" and "getting back to normal" are the reason why, well, we're not likely ever getting back to normal.

Shame so many of them have to die, but play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Especially when the tests are "bull****". ->http://youtu.be/Gi8enbaQPe0

The NFL players crying about their "freedom" getting taken away by the vaccine mandate, should really read their contracts more carefully, standard language in every contract:

Without prior written consent of the Club, Player will not play football or engage in activities related to football otherwise than for Club or engage in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury

Your "freedom" to do a ton of shit is already restricted as a condition of being employed as an NFL player, so getting vaccinated (or facing the restrictions if you choose not to get vaccinated) is par for the course.

Its the experimental non-FDA approved Vaccine for me.

The recommendation was to stay away from people, if you can’t wear a mask and try and reduce exposure to other people unfortunately people read that as if you don’t want to social distance just wear a mask and all we be fine , there should have been more emphasis on staying away from people.

I’m with you on most of this but the current variations almost certainly came from out of the country. Although it’s certainly possible one could pop up internally.

It’s hard to get data on how likely Delta would be to spread if everyone was vaccinated with one of the best vaccines.

But if we vaccinated everyone including kids, it sounds like that would indeed be here immunity and we wouldn’t have to worry about any of these other things.

Or maybe that’s what you meant?

I agree, but it's just another recommendation that was ignored by the same segment of the population that refused masks/vax.

Instead of "Wear a mask", he should've said "Get the **** out".

[MahomesMagic]

If everyone wore a mask that would work as well as if everyone did a rain dance.

People on here acting like if you get the vaccine you wont get it or spread it. There is not one ounce of ABSOLUTE proof this "vaccine" works or the long term side effect of it. There is ABSOLUTE proof that if you are vaccinated that you can still get it. To each there own and doesn't mean you can attack someone because there beliefs differ from what you choose to believe. Divide and conquer is working quite nice in this country just like they planned. Wish more people can open there minds instead of being spoon fed!
