This is all so odd. 2 years ago people who refused vaccines were either Amish or ultra liberals who used elemental-based veganism and healing crystals to combat disease.

Vikings just parted ways with an assistant coach who wouldn't get vaccinated.

To each their own where they get their news sources. But with this virus, I wouldn't suggest Twitter or Facebook or some of the other social media outlets of which there are a ton of. I have been following the brief updates from Dr. Scott Gottlieb on CNBC most mornings.

I would guess it would be players who were not going to make a 53 man roster anywhere. Sports Network: "An undrafted free agent punter out of Arkansas Polytech has decided to retire rather than be vaccinated" News: "Man bravely took a stand for his freedoms instead of millions of dollars." Team he was going to be cut from: "Who was he, again?"

I have been following the brief updates from Dr. Scott Gottlieb on CNBC most mornings. Social media is the fuel for a feeble mind. People talk about freedom of speech and this is what happens when anyone and everyone talks. Some guy working at a bait and tackle shop gives a speech from the front seat of his Dodge Ram and a million people take it as gospel. Thousands of people who has been studying medicine for decades are dismissed. "We don't know what the vaccine could do. How do we know it is safe?" "B*****, how do you trust a million man killer virus that came out of the corner of China." If I see dozens of things looking like zombies coming at me and someone passes me a gun I've never seen before, I'm not asking about it certifications, magazine capacities and manufacture warranties. I'm firing down range and hoping for the best.

This thread and the direction it has taken is a good example of why I don't hang out here much anymore. That's certainly my problem but I just thought I'd chime in. I can't wait for the season to get started.

Went through many studies and trials to prove safe unlike the current vaccine that was rushed through the red tape. You need to do a little bit more reading about vaccine development in the 1930s vs 2020.

Less than 6K were among the fully vaccinated. Of the 18K Covid deaths in May 2021 only 150 were fully vaccinated. Texas has reported 9K Covid deaths since February. Only 43 were fully vaccinated. Since January in Virginia 99.4% of Covid cases were in the unvaccinated; 2,447 unvaccinated people died compared to 18 deaths in fully vaccinated people. Between January and June of this year 7,091 unvaccinated people died of Covid in Georgia compared to 14 fully vaccinated people. 99.4% of Georgians hospitalized for Covid during the same period were not fully vaccinated. Great factual information, but wasted on so many that have tin foil hats and believe the government is implanting some sort of tracking device. Those same people are also responsible (in many areas) for outbreaks of things like the measles (that we thought was gone) because they declined those vaccines for their children. Many won't get their kids the HPV vaccination as well. I lost a friend that I coached as a youth to esophageal cancer traced to the HPV recently. He was 36 years old. This is going to sound incredibly insensitive, but in many of these recent anti-vax movements, it is a simple case of "you can't fix stupid".

This is a league and not a government, and it's not like players will be beaten or imprisoned for not getting the shot. They are not being punished for not having the shot. Seems like too many people are confusing the very word freedom with being able to do whatever you want whenever you want to whoever you want with absolutely zero consequences regardless of the outcomes. This is like saying you should be allowed to steal and rob people at will and not have to even worry about the consequences because..uhh..freedom? Hey, I should have the freedom to drive drunk at 150 miles an hour through any residential street with children playing close by and if I happen to run over 6 or 7 of them it's their faults for being nearby in the first place because of..uhh..freedom! It's silly, stupid and dangerous to be able to spread deadly diseases with no consequences. It's certainly not freedom. I'm to the point that I'm just about openly rooting for people who choose to not be vaccinated out of..uhh..freedom to go ahead and die from covid .. I prefer to have an uninfected gene pool.

If the players who feel their freedom of choice is being compromised by being forced to take a vaccine protest by kneeling during the anthem the entire internet could explode.

Taking an anti vaccine knee.. Yeah..that wouldn't exactly endear them to the vast majority of people who don't wanna die from Covid.. At that point I'd be rooting for them to be kicked out of hospitals if they came down with it.. Doctors might be like ,"Here's your brown paper bag to breath in and out of..Good luck with it.. NEXT!"

No thanks is necessary and not sure what difference it would make if I was a toilet scrubber or a neurosurgeon or anything in between, which is where my job title resides. They're all being exposed on a daily basis, well maybe not the surgeon as much as the rest yet still. Not exactly sure why you are going back to the depression days of the 30's when the vaccine you referenced was made in 1955. Yet still get your point. How do we even know this vaccine is good or will work to eradicate this disease as the one invented in 1955 ? Its still in trial phase imo. You are already on record in this thread stating that nearly 6,000 people fully vaccinated have died already with many more contracting it. We are still in covids infancy by comparison to polio which is disease that's really opposite of covid that oddly you brought into this debate. Does not appear like this 2020 vaccine will eradicate this disease though as the 1955 vaccine did by your own admission and stats provided. America is polio free these days and large portion of the world is still trembling in fear of covid are they not ? Oddly after this thread started a good friend from the Philippines strangely asked my opinion on the vaccine just last night. Guess God has a good sense of humor. Her name and her family has come up on the list to receive the Johnson and Johnson vaccine Monday and she is scared having not really seeing the disease touch her area of the Philippines. Torn between what to suggest since I was injected with the Pfizer on the first round of vaccines released and J&J track record is somewhat sketchy. Will bounce it off the Drs at work who are pro-vaccine and anti-vaccine and weigh it out before suggesting. Yet she is in full panic mode about receiving vaccine.
