Josh Allen “debating” whether to get COVID-19 vaccine
The NFL will not mandate COVID-19 vaccines. Thus, it stands to reason, even with incentives offered to teams and players who are vaccinated, some players aren’t going to get a shot.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen could be one of those. In an appearance on The Ringer’s “10 Questions With Kyle Brandt” podcast, Allen said he has not had a vaccine and might not get one. “I’m still debating that,” Allen said, via Matt Parrino of nyup.com. “I’m a big statistics and logical guy. So, if statistics show it’s the right thing for me to do, I’d do it. Again, I’d lean the other way, too, if that’s what it said. I haven’t been paying attention to it as much as maybe I should have. I’ve just been doing my thing and masking up when I’m going out and just staying close and hanging around family.” It is unclear what statistics Allen needs to see to convince him to get a shot. The Pfizer vaccine was shown a 95 percent efficacy rate in preventing symptomatic COVID-19, just 1 percentage point more than Moderna’s. The single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine was shown to have a 72 percent efficacy rate in the United States in preventing symptomatic illness and an 85 percent efficacy rate in preventing the most severe disease 28 days after vaccination. Allen, 24, made clear he’s against any kind of mandate. “I think everybody should have that choice to do it or not to do it,” Allen said. “You get in this tricky situation now where if you do mandate that that’s kind of going against what our constitution says and the freedom to kind of express yourself one way or the other. I think we’re in a time where that’s getting a lot harder to do. Everybody should have that choice.” However, the league expects to amend certain protocols for those who are vaccinated and for teams as a whole if certain vaccination levels are met, which will encourage (pressure?) players to get a COVID-19 shot. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...id-19-vaccine/ |

If we had not known about a new virus out there, and had not checked individuals with PCR tests, the number of total deaths due to “influenza-like illness” would not seem unusual this year. At most, we might have casually noted that flu this season seems to be a bit worse than average. The media coverage would have been less than for an NBA game between the two most indifferent teams. Some worry that the 68 deaths from Covid-19 in the U.S. as of March 16 will increase exponentially to 680, 6,800, 68,000, 680,000 … along with similar catastrophic patterns around the globe. Is that a realistic scenario, or bad science fiction? How can we tell at what point such a curve might stop?

Right now, it is up to the team and the player whether or not a player plays with "flu-like symptoms".
Unless you're going to let sick people play, like they do with other illnesses, then they still have to test or they have to change the rules and say if you have symptoms of any kind, you can't play. |

And I'm pretty sure the NFL wouldn't be that dumb and would document who's been vaccinated and would do their research on false positives after vaccination..... I would really hope so, anyway. |

But it would definitely suck to see it sweep thru the locker room and guys miss games like the Ravens had last year. |

mRNA vaccines also don't claim to block all infection. Or transmission, or well dying of the coronavirus.

We're at 570,000 deaths and counting from COVID-19. And, then called 680,000 COVID-19 deaths as bad science fiction. Great source, buddy. Top notch.

He can still get the shot and get COVID a week later. It doesn’t make you immune to the virus, it simply helps you cope with the virus if/when you get it, which since COVID will now be around forever, everyone will get it at some point in their life. What society’s are trying to do with the vaccine is give you a small dose of it, so when you get the real thing, your immune system knows how to react to it and save your life. Hope this helps you. |
