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/ |

No I didn't. The data says a COVID shot is safer than getting COVID.

We wore masks for the benefit of all and to get this over with. It's not over. We stayed home. Not over. We closed down business and ruined people's lives to make it stop. Not over. Can you see what people might be a little wary that the vaccine isn't actually going to end this? It's not like the people in charge have a track record of success with any of this. The response has been pretty horrible across the board, despite a regime change in the middle of it. |

Some of us are operating off of knowledge/facts while the other side is operating based off of feelings.

We've lost almost 600,000 Americans even with the mitigation efforts we enacted. I think the argument is pretty well-established at this point.

When your health lands you in the ICU, and they can't treat me with the same attention and care, because you're hooked up to seven different machines, then yes, your health ****ing affects me. When you're perfectly willing to be infected, and that infection creates mutations that make my vaccine less effective, then YES YOUR HEALTH AFFECTS ME. |

That was never the message at first, it was slow the spread for two weeks. That is my point people don't have a lot of trust in what's being said about all this. Partly because a bunch of decisions were made on no data because we had none and we still don't have all we need, |
