These anti Vaxxer players are gonna be real bummed out. This isn't a political thread, it's a public health issue and a major issue for the NFL. The NFLPA and the NFL jointly agreed to the following:

Curious if this will cause division in many locker rooms.

Vaccinated players exposed to covid have no problem. Guys who for some fucking strange reason decide not to are out for 5 days. There are also a ton of other restrictions on these, umm, guys making personal decisions. I was surprised guys not vaccinated get tested EVERY FUCKING DAY. This is with the blessing of the NFLPA. Seems like unless you are nuts this is a fairly easy decision. Maybe there is some religion that doesn't allow mumps, chicken pox, polio and covid but seems like this could cause some issues.

Let's just hope the Packers and Vikings players see the ramifications and opt for the vaccine. Would be interesting if anybody has a team percentage of players who've vaccinated or even better yet the list of players. Guessing the latter though goes against HIPPA rules and thus likely not for public consumption.

So if you have 15 vaccinated guys in the weight room and and an unvaccinated guy shows up, either the unvaccinated guy is barred from entering or one of the vaccinated guys have to leave. Teams will have to figure out ways to deal with that. If I were a guy not assured of making the team, I'd get vaccinated.

Yea, I only brought it up because it could have a pretty big effect on teams so I agree with you. Joe Mixon already commented.

"Bengals running back Joe Mixon has complained about the restrictions that will apply to unvaccinated players during the 2021 season.

“The NFLPA is not for the players they act like they represent us and they clearly show us different time & time again,” Mixon tweeted on Wednesday. Mixon also said “this is who y’all players want to be led by,” along with, “I thought Football was a team sport and it’s clearly being individualized by beliefs.”

i just played in a pro-am golf outing with some professional golfers. usually the golfers are allowed to hang out with us after the golf and have a lot of fun and are also allowed to enjoy the resort they were staying in

however, this time, only 50 percent were vaccinated. so because of this, the players were forced to stay away from everything. they could either be on the course, in their rooms, or in a special little room for players

it sounds like many of the players were very pissed off at the ones who refuse to get vaccinated because it was ruining all the fun for the others

so i could see this leading to some tension amongst teammates

Chill, Tex. Rastak’s cool. Sure, somewhere along the dude’s journey around the sun, he fell to the dark side. But in his youth, Rastak was a long-haired, guitar-playing Anakin Skywalker. I’d take Rastak over uncool Pack fans like Tony O’Day any day of the week.

Btw, Tex, get your fucking shot and come to Green Bay. 12’s tenacious boycott of the Pack means that, to borrow some bad puns from Joemailman and Prof Rand, the Summer of Love - aptly named for the start of the Jordan Love era - is about to begin, prematurely. For those who come to Green Bay, summertime will be a Love-in.

Btw 2: Harlan (drums), Harrell (guitar), Rastak (bass) and I (keyboards, lead vocalist) have formed a softcore, Coldplay-inspired, rock band called “The Great Arm of Butte.” We are currently working on our debut album, “Songs About Ted and Tank.” Our awesome lead single will be the ballad, “A LOVE Song for Aaron Rodgers.” In the streets of Green Bay during the Summer of Love, we’ll be a-rocking and, maybe, even a-raping to covers of Wu-Tang.

So, since this is a football topic, and masking is part of it, am I allowed to post about 50 links, including from the CDC itself pointing out that masking doesn't stop a virus? Can I point out the NFL is being either political or stupid? Can I point out the NFL is unjustly punishing guys who don't want an experimental vaccine?

"Seems like unless you are nuts this is a fairly easy decision."

This is a statement that ignores the VAERS website operated by the CDC having over 5000 deaths related to the virus and over 20k adverse reactions resulting in hospitalization. Both numbers that are about 100x higher than what would have gotten any vaccine pulled from the shelfs in the past 20 years.

Now, if we want to stay away from any political discussion, I'm all for it, but the very nature of the topic is political.

Anti bodies only last 90 days per most medical experts, so booster shots should be required every 90 days. #science

That comment wasn't necessary. I read it in the context that the rules are really pushing the players in that direct. But no, the NFL rules can be discussed without going off the deep end. That is if you can act like an adult. If you want to blow the thread up by intentionally being a jerk, so be it. My advice to you is if you can't contain yourself, ignore the thread.

Hell yeah it's political - for a dozen or so reasons I'm not gonna post here, having been stung before for replying to political shit of others in this part of the forum.

Who's gonna be the first NFL player to get a bad reaction to the vaccine and end up in the hospital? Who's gonna be the first 55 or 60 year old coach or locker room attendant or whatever to die from the thing? And who's gonna get sued when that shit happens?

Clearly you don't have A) children and B) children in school or you would state unequiovically with zero doubt that masks do in fact work because the observation is simply undeniable. Ask any parent of young kids what they observed about masks and you will essentially have one uniform response. It's that overwhelmingly apparent. I have heard the same thing from literally hundreds of parents. The exact same phrase. We all observed the same thing.

Now please kindly fuck off with this stupid drivel. No one cares about your politics.

This isn't a political thread. The rules are what they are. You can have your opinion about them - that is political - but take it to the proper venue (or don't, because literally no one cares). The players association and nfl owners negotiated and agreed to the rules together. They are what they are and they're not changing, and there's no problem at all with that.

I thought i stumbled into fyi with my fat fingers.

I have strong personal feelings based on a variety of scientific sources about this subject. But they are mine about my and my families health. This is a sensitive issue no matter where you stand an people are just to dam sensitive today to reasonably discuss opposing views so it will remain my opinion.

In a football context I feel the NFL and nflpa can set there own rules and regulations but one thing in tbe vaccinated vrs unvaccinated comparision bothered me. That was thr no social mefia sponsorships appearances etc for unvaccinated. If it is only on nfl.com exclusive content then they can li.it that as thet wish. Anywhere else is the league and players association over stepping there boundaries. Even nfl network is an arms lenght organization and a seperate entity legally so they would need there own seperate policy.

Perhaps where you are that is true, but here in sunny Saskatchewan we had a few colds run through our schools. No non covid flus strangely enough... First time in recorded history. And we have lived in forced masks since start of school. I did notice less colds this year and chalk that up to more social isolation. Even for my son's hockey and girls dance no parents allowed which really sucked as it was great visiting time.

Be careful about using VAERS. Many of the first to receive vaccines were also the most at risk due to health or age. As one person pointed out, vaccines don't make you immortal. Some people don't produce sufficient antibodies post-vaccine; this is why some people get the mumps.

Not getting a covid vax is like not getting a measles vax IMO. Not sure why you would want to be infected. If it requires boosters, so what? No different from a flu shot, and it's not like there aren't variants. There will be other viruses - Zika, SARS, swine flu, bird flu, etc. Ecological destruction and habitat loss pushes humans into more contact with this stuff; COVID19 won't be the last pandemic we see in the 21st century.

If you think the government is pushing all this to control or track you, maybe consider staying off the internet and ditching your phone, which is far far more effective for governments to use. China has zero-day hacks that it uses to snoop on its own people and can turn a phone into a hot mike to eavesdrop; you can be sure Russia and the US can do it too.

Finally, I honestly don't understand the hubbub over masks. Don't like it? Don't use a condom, wear a seat belt, stop at red lights, cover your cough/sneeze, or wash your hands. Go ahead and speed thru that school zone!
It's a stupid hill to die on.

There is no consensus on what should happen with public health. You start forcing people to do things they don’t want or believe in and people are gonna take issue with it. I don’t know if it’s politics, but it directly impacts people so everyone is going to have a view point on it.

Strawberry ice cream is a result of the political correctness police forcing a "healthy" alternative on good normal Americans. Why can't I just enjoy my chocolate ice cream? Or what about moose tracks? Never mind. The vegans would probably have a problem with that.

Red, I'm not trying to instigate right now, just stating a fact. This discussion is mostly political and has very little to do with football. It has zero to do with anything on the field. Everyone has opinions on Covid and such and I can't imagine what a discussion would look like on this topic without being considered political by most. I mean honestly, what is there to say? NFL has covid protocols in place. End of discussion. Any discussion of said protocols will be political. End of story.

bobblehead

These anti Vaxxer players are gonna be real bummed out. This isn't a political thread, it's a public health issue and a major issue for the NFL. The NFLPA and the NFL jointly agreed to the following:

https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1405226106802872324/photo/1

Curious if this will cause division in many locker rooms.

Vaccinated players exposed to covid have no problem. Guys who for some fucking strange reason decide not to are out for 5 days. There are also a ton of other restrictions on these, umm, guys making personal decisions. I was surprised guys not vaccinated get tested EVERY FUCKING DAY. This is with the blessing of the NFLPA. Seems like unless you are nuts this is a fairly easy decision. Maybe there is some religion that doesn't allow mumps, chicken pox, polio and covid but seems like this could cause some issues.

Lets disect the premise. "these anti vaxxer players". That is political in that many of them have a multitude of not wanting to be vaccinated, but the implication is "TIN HAT NUTJOBS"

"Its a public health issue" Thats political, not football....and debatable if an athlete in his prime is in any real danger from China flu.

"Guys who for some fucking strange reason decide not to are out for 5 days" Some fucking strange reason? Like maybe they already had the Vid and are immune? Or maybe religion forbids it. Or they simply don't want to take an experimental Vaxx that was rushed to market in 20% the normal timeframe using a technique never before approved?

"Guys who for some fucking strange reason decide not to are out for 5 days. There are also a ton of other restrictions on these, umm, guys making personal decisions. I was surprised guys not vaccinated get tested EVERY FUCKING DAY. This is with the blessing of the NFLPA. Seems like unless you are nuts this is a fairly easy decision. Maybe there is some religion that doesn't allow mumps, chicken pox, polio and covid but seems like this could cause some issues."

Guys who for some fucking strange reason....yea, thats not judgy or political. There can't possibly be a valid reason and they should not have any choice as to what they put in their body. Only reason to not get the shot is you are nuts.

This is an entirely 100% political opening statement. End of story. And I agreed to leave politics out of the packer forum because you whiny fucks can't handle it, so don't make posts like this and then point your judgy fucking finger at me because I call you out on it.

06-18-2021, 09:42 AM
That comment wasn't necessary. I read it in the context that the rules are really pushing the players in that direct. But no, the NFL rules can be discussed without going off the deep end. That is if you can act like an adult. If you want to blow the thread up by intentionally being a jerk, so be it. My advice to you is if you can't contain yourself, ignore the thread.

And I did so by pointing out the CDCs own data. I discussed the rules. You don't like my discussion. When you say something stupid and wrong and I refute it with data I'm being political. Get it...this is a political topic.

bobblehead
06-18-2021, 09:50 AM
General consensus seems to be that antibodies only last 5-8 months. Even people who have been vaccinated will likely need a booster shot late 2021/early 2022.

But CDC guidelines for employers is to resume protocols with previously infected after 90 days. But yes, they can last from 90 days to 12 months and it depends. But T Cell immunity seems to last for as far back as data can be collected. Reinfection rates for previously infected are nearly identical to vaccinated (.5% to .6%), but actually slightly better and with a farther timeline to study. Basically if you have had the wuhan flu there is no reason to get vaccinated other than if you want to.

Sorry, am I being political? The line seems to be blurred.

At the risk of getting a couple days off by Mad, that shouldn't be political either. Almost nothing should be, but we're too stupid to do anything else now.

I don't think its political. To be honest in my own everyday life the majority of people I know who are refusing the needle are black democrats. Also a handful of "leave me alone" republicans. And a small number of "I had the china cough so I don't see the need to take an experimental vaccine".

So, if its political, in my experience its not down R/D lines.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/06/17/report-85-percent-of-dolphins-saints-players-fully-vaccinated-or-on-path/


Albert Breer of SI.com reports and PFT has confirmed that the Saints are one of two teams that have 85 percent of their players either fully vaccinated or on the way to reaching that status. The Dolphins are the other team in that category.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said this week that he didn’t know the exact percentage of the team’s players that have been vaccinated, but said “what I understand we’re tops in the league in terms of this process.” Based on Thursday’s report, the Steelers wouldn’t be at the very top of the list but word this week was that there are three teams with 70 or more players with at least one dose of the vaccine.

Teams that have 85 percent of their players fully vaccinated are expected to have relaxed protocols this summer and during the season, although the full nature of those relaxations have not been announced. The league did announce that there will be much greater restrictions on unvaccinated players than their vaccinated brethren this week.

Someone should explain to Beasley that there are people with certain allergies who cannot get the vaccine. There are also people with weakened immune systems who are not fully protected even if they get the vaccine. Their only defense against the virus, other than becoming hermits, is for those who are able to get the vaccine do so to help stop the spread of the virus.

Not trusting the vax has a lot to do with science and little to do with selfish. If the information I've gathered said it was safe and well researched, I would be down for everyone taking it too.

2. Use the Google to understand Monoclonal RNA technology.

3. For generations “culling of the herd” is what keeps us ahead of the game.

The NFL told teams Thursday that postponed games due to coronavirus outbreaks among unvaccinated players or staffers will not be rescheduled this coming season and teams responsible for delays will automatically forfeit, according to NFL Network.

Why it matters: The league hasn't mandated vaccines for players, but this rule incentivizes teams to pressure unvaccinated players to get inoculated.

The league said players for both teams will not be compensated for any canceled games and that teams responsible for any outbreaks will have to cover financial losses from the canceled games.

Probably won't be an issue as no games were cancelled last year when the Covid outbreak was at its worst. But you never know. Florida, Nevada and Louisiana are hot spots right now.

Vikings assistant coach Rick Dennison has reportedly lost his job because he refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Dennison, who had been the Vikings’ offensive line coach/run game coordinator the past two seasons, parted ways with the team, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The report does not specifically call Dennison’s departure a firing, although that’s what it sounds like.

The NFL is requiring Tier 1 staff — the people in closest contact with players, such as coaches and equipment managers — to get vaccinated. Players cannot be forced to get vaccinated.

https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1405226106802872324/photo/1

Curious if this will cause division in many locker rooms.

Vaccinated players exposed to covid have no problem. Guys who for some fucking strange reason decide not to are out for 5 days. There are also a ton of other restrictions on these, umm, guys making personal decisions. I was surprised guys not vaccinated get tested EVERY FUCKING DAY. This is with the blessing of the NFLPA. Seems like unless you are nuts this is a fairly easy decision. Maybe there is some religion that doesn't allow mumps, chicken pox, polio and covid but seems like this could cause some issues.

This is a statement that ignores the VAERS website operated by the CDC having over 5000 deaths related to the virus and over 20k adverse reactions resulting in hospitalization. Both numbers that are about 100x higher than what would have gotten any vaccine pulled from the shelfs in the past 20 years.

Now, if we want to stay away from any political discussion, I'm all for it, but the very nature of the topic is political.

Just a correction. It's at 11,000 deaths now (doubled in the last month) and 500,000 reported events. They make it easy read here.

But VAERS is very unreliable as it underreports by over 90%. It's always suppressed the numbers for good reason: vaccine hesitancy.

I suppose they don't have the tools to make a more sophisticated decision.

So your expertise on covid and the vaccine are superior to thos that the olympic specialists have at their disposal? If vaccinated people were protected, why would the NFL need to cancel games and have + tested vaccinated people miss games? Those unvaccinated should be the only ones to suffer the consequences of missing time and being sick. The simple solution would seem to be that if you get covid and miss games/practice you lose game checks. That way you don't punish fans, team mates and others because an unvaccinated player got sick. I mean, that is if you say everyone who is vaccinated isn't getting sick or spreading it, merely testing positive because they have a few cells in their nostrals.

I am still very confused why all the protected people who are vaccinated need to isolate and all that stuff if they aren't sick and aren't spreading it. They shouldn't be punished in that way if they are vaccinated. Why would the NFL do such a thing? (or the olympics).

Oh, I don't disagree that the vaccine is effective at minimizing severity. You said they were all asymptomatic and couldn't spread it. That simply is not true. As usual you misrepresent what I asked and try to walk back what you said. Thank you for clarifying. So to sum it up, vaccinated people are getting infected and even spreading covid. They don't get as sick as those that aren't vaccinated in general. That is very different than what you said.

Given what we now agree on, why do you care if someone chooses NOT to take a vaccine? Its up to them if they have weighed the risks of covid vs. the risks of the vaccine and decided against it. As long as you are vaccinated (or whoever) you are in a lower risk group.

hoosier
07-27-2021, 02:26 PM
Why should anyone care if someone who can vaccinate refuses to do so? First, because the unvaccinated are more likely to spread the virus to others, some of whom might be unvaccinated but not by choice. And because unchecked spread of virus increases chances of further mutations that may prove refractory to current vaccines. Do you think schools should be forbidden from requiring that students be up to date on chicken pox, mumps, TB and DTP? Wait, don't answer that.

Washington Football Team coach Ron Rivera described himself as "beyond frustrated" Tuesday with the COVID-19 vaccination rate on his team.

While nearly half the league has reached a 90 percent vaccination rate among players, Rivera would only say Tuesday that his club is over 50 percent.

"I think it's frustrating. Especially in the fact that last year we were the No. 1 team against COVID," Rivera said. "Our players took the challenge of staying inside the bubble, doing the things the right way and for the most part, you know we only had two situations. Both of them were guys who weren't on the active 53, so it turned out to be a positive for us, as far as being COVID free. And now for whatever reason we have some reluctance to do that, to get the vaccine."

FWIW, Gute sounded pretty upbeat about how the Packers are doing, although he didn't give any numbers. Yesterday, Wisconsin had its highest number of new cases since mid-April, so the issue isn't going away.

We can not. That is my point. There is a mountain of disinformation in this thread, but if I address it properly all hell breaks loose. This is a political discussion. Data out of the UK and Israel vary greatly from the 99% number our media loves to repeat. That number has no bearing in any data presented. This thread is only "non political" because those of us who have a certain view aren't allowed to refute stupid false talking points, but those of another certain view are allowed to spew them endlessly. This is what some want. The ability to spout a certain viewpoint, while silencing the other side. If anyone disputes the claims made by several posters in this thread about the vaccine WE are the ones being political.

It's a mind-boggling complex issue. "Coronavirus" is SARS-CoV-2. Research on vaccines for the SARS family of viruses has been going on for decades. "Distributed" is a stretch, I don't think any SARS vaccine was authorized in the U.S., beyond some clinical trials. But there were SARS vaccines used in other countries.

The talk that "Operation Warp Speed" developed a vaccine in record time is misleading at best. The mRNA vaccines were already there from the past decades of development. As soon as the Chinese gave the DNA sequence of the particular spike protein for SAR-COV-2 to worldwide scientists, the mRNA vaccines were produced within two weeks. The glory of OWS was in their funding the manufacture of vaccines, and accelerating the testing.

The mRNA vaccines for Covid are the first time that amazing technology has been deployed anywhere. The crushing need compressed the final testing.

Again, you are making this political. Any scientist worth a damn agrees that natural immunity is stronger than fake vaccination immunity. Fauci admitted as much on the floor of the U.S. senate. Every data point and study known to man shows that natural immunity is superior to vaccination. But don't let any of that get in the way of your agenda to politicize all of this...which is why this thread can't be anything other than political.

How about the cleveland clinic? Are they an ok institution? They did a study of 50k people. 4 groups. Vacc/never had, Vacc/had, noV/never had, noV/had. The two "previously had" groups accounted for ZERO new cases. Is that solid enough?

"We recently shared research that provides insight into how the immune system protects the body after a confirmed COVID-19 infection. The study followed Cleveland Clinic caregivers over five months as the vaccination process was beginning. The data showed that the vaccine was extremely effective in preventing COVID-19 infection. In addition, we found that none of the previously infected employees who remained unvaccinated were re-infected over the duration of the study."

The data showed that the vaccine was extremely effective in preventing COVID-19 infection. In addition, we found that none of the previously infected employees who remained unvaccinated were re-infected over the duration of the study."

This is not a statement that natural immunity is superior to vaccines or that it endures long term. That only involved the early phase of the covid assault.
We saw the limit of natural immunity in a huge sample size in Brazil. That happened over nearly a year. Natural immunity completely failed to block a variant.

Vaccines are developed in cases where natural immunity is ineffective. Not ineffective in 100% of cases - only a small minority caught polio before the vaccine.
Oh ya, the side effects of the new vaccines are not statistically worse than all our other vaccines, including the ones that all school children take.

I won't participate in this thread anymore because it is outlet for anti-vacc junk science.

Yeah, the trusty upside down food pyramid is great consensus science. And the 1-3% predicted death rate of covid from those brilliant scientists really stood the test of time. Once the govt scientists come out with some garbage they call science, we’re all supposed to just go right along over the cliff without passing it by the bullshit meter first.

The over use of ventilators in covid treatment was another brilliant medical science victory too, hh. Go get your ventilator, I’m sure it will work out great for you.

But don’t question the vaXX :lol:

Reasons to not blindly follow the science:

1. Scientists were paraded around the news circuit with death models of 1-3% death rates from Covid. They were using early case numbers to extrapolate that brilliant death prediction. The early cases were done with limited testing when only the hospitalized were being tested so of course the hospitalized weren’t going to be a good indicator of how it would affect healthy people. The old bullshit test was enough to ignore the scientists on that one and time proved us correct.

2. Incentivizing the use of ventilators as a covid treatment. I have videos of nurses crying and quitting their jobs because they knew the ventilators would kill their patients and they were unnecessary. How many unneeded deaths occurred in the name of trusting the science there?

3. Over 11,000 reported deaths in VAERS due to the vax. And studies have shown VAERS is a vastly underused. Some estimates show as little as 1% reporting rate due to all of the barriers involved in submitting the report.


Oh, there are plenty of reasons not to blindly follow the whims of any science, including vaccine science. These players an anyone else should have the right to wait until more data is in on these vaccines. Or just not participate if they choose not to take that chance.

You are all some sorry mfers so tell you what. I’m gonna leave this thread here even though it is fucked and anyone that post anything in it gets zapped. Anyone makes another COVID thread can be more than that.

Bobble - You get to be right that posters can’t keep this nonpolitical but don’t pretend you aren’t contributing to it. So “Keep telling yourself” that.

You do realize MRNA isn't a vac to begin with, don't you?

So? Mrna is just a method to create vaccines. Mrna was looked at for previous vaccines but covid was the 1st widespread use of the technique.

The other thing people on sports sites should not do is believe they know more about a virus or vaccine than the scientists. Don't take the vaccine if you don't have to for work, but try not to scare people who are thinking about taking it.

The bottom line is vaccines work, they have always worked, and they still work..

So you’re not a scientist either but you’re the authority on what the bottom line is? Different scientists have different views on these mRNA vaxx’s

Of course I am. Intentionally. And again, I will be done with it. The point has been made. But the real point is that they want to spout their nonsense and scream "POLITICS" when its challenged.

I honestly don't see what the talking points are here. Personally, I don't think the policies are necessary, etc for professional athletes that are in fantastic shape fat boys aside. Never the less, all parties agreed to these terms so I don't really see any issue and clearly neither side does either since they agreed.

My biggest hope is the NFL can have fans in the stadium again and the cap goes up next year so the Packers don't need to totally punt on their depth.

MLF said today Packers have 11 players not vaccinated. That would put them over the 85% the NFL has established as the threshold which means relaxed protocols.

With that said tell you what. Since you are so right I’m not going zap your ass like I said in my previous post. That’s what I am doing do everyone who has posted since, even zool who is an admin is banned right now. Maybe everyone you hate will post here and I can ban them too. I looo forward to it.
