I'm not sure why he didn't get vaccinated and it isn't any of my business as long as he or others are willing to take the consequences.

OldColt/Butter I appreciate your service to the medical field. FYI. I am not a DR and have no background myself in the field. My wife however does. She overseas 17 hospital emergency rooms throughout the midwest for a medical group that has hundreds of hospitals. She coordinates with 150+ DRs on a daily basis. Sits in on the meetings etc. and hears all of the discussion about COVID and what is happening now in the past and what to expect going forward.

Anyway, Back to the story of the couple

There is no way for anyone to tell if this couple is vaccinated or not Whether as individuals or as a couple.

The reason is because they were both infected. One caught it from the other so both can pass the virus and they can get very sick or be mild. Any of those things can happen with a vaccinated or unvaccinated person.

So while the world can scream at the top of their lungs for people to get vaccinated People are still going to get sick whether they are vaccinated or not.

For the record that couple is my wife and I. We are vaccinated. Our close friends are vaccinated and have basically the same story. One mild one harsh symptoms. Our neighbor is not vaccinated and had very mild symptoms.


Now back to the NFL.

If a vaccinated person can contract, pass on a have bad symptoms just like an unvaccinated person. What is the difference? Why should a vaccinated person have any benefit to play because they got the jab over someone who didn't?
