I doubt most NFL players would qualify for the early rounds of distribution of a vaccine. The optics alone would be crushing. In most cases, the NFL is bulletproof, but skipping to the head of the line for a vaccine would probably be a disaster.
In terms of the thread, I think my stance earlier (about being bulletproof) is why the NFL will play some version of a season this year. We have seen in the past with concussions that, while player safety can be trotted out as a strongly held belief, it really is not going to stand in the way of money for the NFL. Generally, the fan base is cool with pretending like player safety matters but they don't want it to impact the sport too much or their team. It would take a massive surge, and government intervention, at this point to stop an NFL season in my mind.
