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/ |

how many people do you think actually followed the guidelines properly? it also didn't help that people spent a lot of time and effort minimizing their effectiveness reducing compliance. The answer is zero, the advantage with vaccines over masks is once a person gets it you can remove a lot of the issues we have with masks. |

Some of the people who refused to wear masks are the same people who are complaining now about how all this is still going on despite "everyone" wearing masks Lmao

Again looks at the data from a non biased non emotional perspective. and most people did follow those rules. A lot of people lost their jobs and their business because of this shit. Tell that to them. Hell Michigan JUST opened their restaurants back up at half capacity. They still had deaths, they still had cases. IF you look at the numbers relative to population, didn't matter because states that were open had similar deaths. |

I don’t care about Josh Allen’s opinion on this subject.
But it probably wasn’t smart for him to comment publicly on it.

Then they want to know why people don't want the vaccine. Local HR group did a survey and the vaccination participation rate looked to be around 25%. The same people when surveyed were told they could stop wearing masks etc...after vaccination it jumped to 70%. The messaging on the vaccine has been horrendous and it starts with Fauci. Complete botch job. Meanwhile MLB implemented a policy that if 85% of the team got vaccinated they no longer had to wear masks and social distance. Guess what's happened? |
