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/ |

They majority of my wife's patients who don't trust vaccines/medications tend to be smokers as well for fear of what they contain.

Your fan base is known for drunken table jumps and putting fingers up butts at your stadium. Think beyond yourself and act like the face of the franchise.

Endocarditis/cardiomyopathy can be caused by any virus/bacteria and can affect younger athletes, is it rare sure but could be career ending, COVID at this point seems more likely to cause such an effect than most and I am sure somebody somewhere has developed it.

Idk seems smart to me. If your a high risk with preexisting conditions get it because it could mean death. What's the rush if your not at risk? Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk |

I'm young, healthy in good enough shape, so why did I get vaccinated? Because I care about people who could get sick if I gave it to them. Also:
“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. A guy who isn't sure about getting a vaccine doesn't strike me as someone who is "into statistics". |

He's always been slow to process information, but until now I thought that was just on the field.

What are the odds that a healthy 25 year old with no health issues gets seriously ill from Covid in the United States?

I can’t imagine caring about anything Josh Allen says

Something like that seems like a much bigger risk for a pro athlete than getting the vaccine. Cam looked like total shit after getting covid last year. Last edited by suzzer99; 04-08-2021 at 09:02 AM.. |
