2021 Covid Protocols in the NFL

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.

Pressure is on.

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.

Belongs in FYI probably. There are a lot of opinions about vaxxes in general and this in particular.

Unfortunately, medicine is politicized due to general ignorance about medicine & immunology and also lots of propaganda.

Rastak's opening salvo is very inappropriate when many players will be losing jobs over this.. Not for "selfish reasons." That is garbage take especially for those who have suffered life debilitating adverse reactions as in my family.

I already said I was sorry. It is going to be a very interesting dynamic though. Diggs already taking shots at good old Cole.

Amos is giving him props. Only 3 teams are over 70%. Lots of folks aginst this. Players are divided but most stay quiet (only a few who are secure are speaking up).

They are below their numbers and probably won't hit over 65% nationally Worse adverse effects than they expected. It would have been shut down for any other drug. Besides with three very cheap and effective remedies, no need for a jab.

If you are in the NFL, it ain't gonna be cheap and it WILL be a royal pain in the ass and then some.

idiocy

You complain about others dragging off-topics into football forum then you drop offensive facebook wisdom.

I blame madtown. what are we paying him for?

[Jaire]

Sorry

I have several degrees. Not gonna let some ignoramuses give me medical advice. Have lots of MD friends too and the one I'm living with ain't getting the jab. It's nonsensical and criminal: untested, hazardous, and "for emergency use only." Keep your politics out of my medicine -- and the first principle of medicine is: primum non nocere. That's all you need to know.

Continue to listen to the politicians, health czars, media, and FB for your health. But please stay out of mine.

....
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.

Let's keep it to football. You can get sick on your own time. (I do have to admit lycanthropy was a pretty bad side effect). This is going to be interesting as I will say again.

[Jaire]

The lycanthropy?

Or the nfl in the year of Covid two?

My Pfizer shot turned me into a werewolf. It's only once a month though so not super bad.

This thread was already put in the right direction but your late reply is stirring shit up. So Jaire please desist now.

Rastak - why are you engaging?

Sorry Bro, my bad.


Let's get this back on track. I think there will be a very interesting dynamic as I previously mentioned. Locker room division is certainly going to crop up all over the NFL.

99% of recent COVID deaths and 97% of hospitalizations are unvaccinated individuals. Do what you wish.
