I wasn’t talking about Afghanistan

So if the NFL made the vaccine a must have to play, which I really don't now if they can. Do you think Beasley would retire. Would there be a bunch of players.
- Buff36

Lot of players would retire. Many said they would

Ehhh...there are more players that don't want the vaccine than just Beasley. Hell, the fact that five players need to stay away for five days pretty much says as much. Beasley is just the one that's the most vocal about it.

Beane and McDermott have been very non-committal to their stance on vaccines. They've taken it because they were required to. They weren't given a choice like the players were. And they've essentially said as much, as well as respecting their players stances, etc. Compare that to Mike Zimmer in Minnesota who all but blasted Kirk Cousins. If Beane and McDermott really felt Beasley was going against the "culture", they would be wording things much, much differently.

That being said, Beasley is probably walking a very thin line. If his production happens to fall off a cliff, he's in trouble. He has most likely eliminated his margin for error.

Completely agree, except beane did accidentally mention that they would take vaccinated players into consideration when making cuts.

He didnt misspeak, he shouldn't have said it out loud..

It was "Its not FDA Approved"

Wonder what the next goal post is.

Probably just 15 days to slow the spread.

He said it was because it would give them a competitive advantage, not out of some moral stance on getting vaccinated or not. Beane and McDermott are the type of guys that would take 20 doses of the shot simultaneously if they could guarantee themselves a Super Bowl.

Yes, and only about 30% of the country actually followed any protocol.

Weird how the states that have/had zero mandates are now in the worst shape in the US and are now crying for help.

they've been leading their sheep to literal slaughter for over 18 months with incendiary, anti-science rhetoric and they expect them to listen to pro-science stuff now?

Baaaaaaaaaaa!!!!

I don’t think you have the grounds to be calling anyone a sheep on here. Pot meet kettle

glad you brought this site up...also from there,

Most private insurers are no longer waiving cost-sharing for COVID-19 treatment

Early in the pandemic, many insurers waived cost-sharing requirements for people hospitalized with COVID-19, and the vast majority of people enrolled in fully-insured plans would have had their out-of-pocket costs waived in such circumstances.

With safe and effective vaccines now widely available, this new analysis finds that that 72% of the two largest insurers in each state and DC (102 health plans) are no longer waiving these costs, and another 10% of plans are phasing out waivers by the end of October.

The analysis is available on the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker, an online information hub dedicated to monitoring and assessing the performance of the U.S. health system.

Which is also very valid. My point is that there are many other reasons that people are vaccine-hesitant, rightly or wrongly, other than a far-right echo chamber.

I guess when you lie about your numbers by 25% in NY and then the CDC was caught inflating numbers in Florida that might make a difference

The rates have fluctuated in each state, regardless of mandates. Other states will get their waves again too. Oregon also is at an all-time high in hospitalizations, and they have had one of the stricter lockdown policies in the country.

Outside the US, Isreal one of the most highly vaccinated populations in the world, and they are having the highest hospitalization rates they have ever had. There are other factors at play here.

i get it...but the loudest ones are anti-vax or "vaccine-hesitant" for self-agrandizing, non-medical reasons

replication is the sole reason for the existence of this virus...in order for it to replicate it needs a host and in order for it to replicate further it needs to trick the immune system into thinking nothing's wrong prior to completely overwhelming the host organs

I hope they're fined into submission. Normal ass people, you don't want to get the vaccine, whatever, feel free to prolong this (frank)ing nightmare. But these guys simply can't logically equate "doing everything in my power to win" and "If I miss a week, I miss a week, whatever, vax is made of alien piss"
- TheSabresTaco

And yet, one of the highest rates of unvaccinated are African American.

There are all sorts of reasons people aren't getting vaccinated. The far right are getting all the press because they're the loudest.

It comes down to far RW views that are as simple as "I don't trust the government". That's it. That's the title of every anti-vaxxer manifesto.

Maybe I should revise. It is simply, absolutely simply, "I don't trust the government". And Black people have plenty of reason not to.

So are you telling me that the views of the loudest on social media don't necessarily reflect the views of the majority of the general population? Perish the thought.

Right, but this isn't just happening in the US. It's happening everywhere.

The part that nobody is talking about with Dawkins is that he openly acknowledged that he caught it before his inoculation period ended. In other words, he caught it, while having the vaccine in his system. When that happens, it has caused problems with more than a few people. It was bad timing.
- buffalofan19

Beasley was probably ready to get the shot, then heard that Dawkins got it in the incubation period?

Now do risto's covid issue. There has to be a way to spin this too 🙂

Everybody in the world has plenty of reason not to trust the government. However Pfizer made the vaccine I took not the United States government

says the invincible, incongruous youth...you do you...i do me...

and the health care workers do what they do, which is bust their asses to save those who believe what you stated and are now filling up hospital's to over capacity...and hospital superintendents are doing what they do, by ordering portable morgues to fill with those who believe what you stated


but, you do you
- Michael Pachla

More TV sensationalism... ever hear of "crisis actors"?

"Portable morgues" for a virus with a 99.98% survival rate for people in my age range, and 99.5% in yours according to the CDC?
