I'm just disappointed that he didn't get the vaccine voluntarily. Particularly as one of the leaders of the team.

Can't you just accept the fact that not everyone has the same opinion as you? There is a difference between have a different opinion politically and looking at people who are fundamentally toxic to society and wanting no part of that. To your previous point about how "unbelieveable" it is that this is a bigger story than training camp... we are only in the middle of a generational public health crisis worsened by the fact that many of our neighbors and leaders refuse or outright can't think logically like adults, a legion of folks radicalized by social media while hospitals are overrun, doctors and nurses are quitting in droves, and even children are now being put on ventilators. Not thinking this is a story, or thinking it is overblown, to me is the entitlement born out of a country that is throwing away vaccines while other countries in the world are desperate for help, the same people who have willfully ignored the worsening of our healthcare system for decades for no reason other than--I guess--someone else's vague profit. Watching for a whole year as people fight tooth and nail against the most basic and noninvasive societal ask I can think of--wearing a mask, of course it doesn't surprise me that people shrink inside of their own fear or their "reasons" to avoid vaccines. BUT GOD DAMMIT, THE EXCITEMENT AND IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING CAMP, RIGHT!?! IsntLifeFunny, XAEA12, Alzarius, and 6 others 6 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The radical anti vaxxers and radical pro vaxxers? What is the extreme of the pro vaxx side? They want you to have the booster too in addition to the other shots for even more immunity or something?

It's the pastor using the church as a political device. The pastors too wrapped up into national politics push their beliefs (duh, that's what religions do) to their congregation. So it isn't in scripture anywhere, no. It's more parroting the party lines. WG53 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The evidence of who politicized this lies in the fact that the U.S. is one of the only countries where covid became a political issue. All around the world people mostly masked and get their vaccines when they get a chance. Only in the U.S. did it become an issue of "freedom" and we all know which side is constantly paranoid that their freedoms are being taken away. If Trump had come out in favor of masking from the get go and given full-throated support of vaccines all along this wouldn't be a political issue and everyone knows it. You always know when a conservative realizes their side caused the problem because they immediately jump to "well both sides did x".

There are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the vaccines. Not the least of which is the repeated lying by the US Government about them and covid. There ARE potential serious side effects. I do believe the chance of serious side effects are smaller than the potential long term effects of having covid but they are not zero. My family and I are all fully vaccinated and have been for some time. Even my 18 year old son got himself vaccinated earlier than most because he was doing food delivery and that qualified him before his age group. That doesn't mean I cannot think critically about it and allow for others to come to different conclusions than me. If (as we are being told) the vaccines work, there is little or no danger to the vaccinated from the unvaccinated. Seriously, I don't understand the hysteria about unvaccinated people. More recently, people have been raising the concern over unvaccinated people allowing virus transmission and possibly increasing the likelihood of a variant that is vaccine resistant. There are two flaws in that logic. First, I have heard (on a podcast by two liberal evolutionary biologists) that in reality it is imperfect vaccines in the vaccinated that increase the likelihood of vaccine resistant variants. This is understandable when you consider how mutations work. (https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.1002198) Second, most of the rest of the world has and for the foreseeable future will continue to have a large percentage of unvaccinated people. We could achieve an 100% vaccination rate in the US tomorrow and it wouldn't eliminate the likelihood of variants. Looking at the CDC website, there are 4 variants of concern (Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma). All of them originated from outside of the United States.
