COVID Memo from the NFL

Are you anti-vaxxers going to whine just as hard about your rights when your insurance premiums go up like they do for smokers?

I think you need to stop using the stereotype of "anti vaxxers"...this isn't a typical situation...like an influenza shot.

You have no legal/financial recourse if this vaccine ****s you up...you sign that option away. It was also never properly vetted long term...it's still not FDA approved.

Essentially no one knows what this vaccine will do down the road...anyone saying otherwise is FOS.

Which is fine, but there has to be some recourse when employees are taking a well known risk. If they get covid and spread it and put their employer, the city, the fans in a huge hole. If any of these players gets hospitalized or God forbid dies, the nfl will have to pay out the ass and will be pressured to shut down the season. Even though it was a personal decision to avoid the risk, it is the company that assumes all the liability.

And that doesn't just go for players. It goes for manufacturing and construction planners who can incur multimillion dollar losses if a single outbreak hits the floor. And every business downstream gets impacted too. You talked about can of worms. This is the can of worms.
