fox news has vaccine mandates but rails against it on air. this country really needs to wake up.

Show me a quote where Trump, or any republican lawmaker has told anyone not to get the vaccine, you can't, but I vividly remember our Vice President saying on national television that if it was a Trump generated vaccine that she would be hesitant about getting it !! Lets go Brandon is hilarious !!

“I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump” on the reliability of a vaccine, Harris said. The California senator, however, added that she would trust a “credible” source who could vouch that a vaccine was safe for Americans to receive.

Apparently she’s like many Americans who doesn’t believe anything that comes out of his mouth

Think of it as a wildfire on the prairie. You get a lightning strike and the grass starts to burn. Vaccination acts like a rainstorm that comes along shortly after the fire starts and puts out the fire. If you’re not vaccinated, the fire builds until it rages out of control.

Not everyone who catches it will die…it’s not like it’s a death sentence. But, for people who are old, overweight, have diabetes or any one of a dozen other underlying conditions, the consequences of catching covid are increasingly dire.

The irony is that Republicans are fighting vaccinations, masking, social distancing, and any number of common sense precautions intended to protect Americans from the disease. The result is that a Trump supporter is ten times more likely to die of Covid than a Biden voter. No one wants to say it, but the bottom line is that, in battleground states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona… Trump supporters are dying in large enough numbers to tip the next election to Biden.

The Chron don't care about the vax or masks... luckily, a mild variant thus far.

Well there was him downplaying it from the beginning. Politicizing it because some democrats were saying that it was something to take seriously. Dissolving the pandemic response team mainly because Obama started it. Making fun of masks and then having massive super spreader events with no emphasis on protection. Pushing dubious cures that he might have had a financial link to, or even outrageous notions like cleaning fluid in the blood. Denigrating experts and supporting quack doctors. Pushing responsibility onto states then undermining them by tweeting to “open up” or threatening to withdraw federal help. Presiding over half a million deaths.

But he did start operation warp speed. Even though a pharma company outside of it crafted the first vaccine.

As for the repubs against vaxes, what immediately comes to mind.
Wendy Rogers was just on video with a leader of the anti vax group saying she wants to give a shout out to the anti mask club.

Paul Gosar was just on video with the same guy saying they were doing good work with the anti vax movement and to keep it up.

Boebert in a speech not to long ago said she wasn’t getting the “Fauci ouchie”

All three are vaxed.

Maybe you've read something different. CDC has reported at least since June/July that viral loads among vaxxed and unvaxxed are similar. Same with NEJM in December. And now Omicron appears to be the most transmissible of all variants we've seen. Vaxxed or unvaxxed, symptomatic or asymptomatic.

The point is that their (mostly vaccinated) players started testing positive in droves. Who's not contagious? More positive tests in one week than all season combined. I read 200 players since Dec 13. That's almost 10% of players. So now they aren't testing them weekly anymore.

And all that shit about not moving games this year, forfeiting, not getting paid... Well we just had three extra games Monday and Tuesday. So what does that off-season talk sound like now? Concern or coercion?

It's not just the NFL. Everyone is catching this and it's not going away.

Has Greg Doyle taken over this thread???? Jeezus guys, let's talk football!

[Oldcolt]

Fingers crossed but I have been pleasantly surprised by the small number of Colts (so far) infected. This Omicron is so infectious that it makes trying to predict who will win almost impossible. The teams that do the best at isolation and following guidelines are going to have an advantage going forward. Sucks because it its about as non football as it gets yet it could have a huge impact.

If Wentz gets thru the season/playoffs non vaccinated and doesn't miss any time then to me he has walked the walk after he talked about not needing the vaccine. If he continues to make it he was right and my thinking he was a selfish dude was wrong. I will be happy to be wrong.

If Wentz or Leonard catch it, they will miss the game, assuming they’re still unvaxxed. Which would leave us skuh-rewed.
