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/ |

I'm against forced vaccines. But, if you want your kid to go to a kindergarten or elementary school, you have to prove your kid has been vaccinated. Show your papers please in this limited scope, has been in effect in this country since post WWII. I don't see private business's being prevented from banning employees or customers who are not vaccinated from their business. They can tell all employees or any customer for that matter that you have to wear a blue shirt to work or do business with them. Its your choice at that point to wear a blue shirt to work there or patronize their business.

Nobody and I mean nobody is happier about Josh Allen riding the fence on the vaccine than Donger, now he has a COVID thread in the main forum he can bleed out in over and over and over again.

It will always be a choice to get the vaccine or not. The government is never going to force you to do it. However, if you want to send your kids to public schools, perhaps even travel, and your employer can require it.
Doesn't mean you have to utilize the public school system, or work at said employee, or travel to a country that requires it. Still is your choice, though.
