ACC announces that teams with Covid outbreaks will be forced to forfeit.

[mjpwooo]

Either/or.

Player.... "you know, after careful consideration, I don't feel comfortable taking the vaccine right now until we have a more robust history of long term side effects. Please respect my decision."

Fan.... "you selfish ahole."

You know that will happen.

 

[OtownFSU81]

Either/or.

Fans will shamelessly crucify the player because they care more about getting three hours a weekend to watch football than they do respecting players personal medical decision

If um and uf can get to 85%, so can we. No excuse.

Miami Hurricanes football nearing 85 percent vaccination threshold

The Miami Hurricanes are hoping their misfortune with COVID-19 from 2020 won’t follow them into 2021 despite the pandemic remaining a threat to their upcoming season.

Gators look to combat COVID by staying in hotel

The Gators, who being fall football practice Friday, will spent at least part of the next three weeks in a hotel in an effort to avoid another COVID-19 outbreak on the team.

Fans don't care about player health or safety AT ALL. They never have and never will.

If they really did, they'd discourage those players to not ever play football. It is extremely dangerous.

More Vaccinated People Are Dying of COVID in England Than Unvaccinated – Here’s Why

More vaccinated people are dying of COVID than unvaccinated people, according to a recent report from Public Health England (PHE). The report shows that 163 of the 257 people (63.4%) who died within 28 days of a positive COVID test between February 1 and June 21, had received at least one dose of th

A lot of people getting their medical information from Facebook.

 

[OtownFSU81]

Either/or.

As for a player not wanting to take the vaccine, there are plenty of reasons why a player may choose to not receive a new vaccine which protects against a virus that has nearly 0% chance of negatively affecting them or anyone around them (the majority of those they are around are either also very young or if vulnerable to Covid then they are vaccinated). Especially one that was approved under a much lower threshold.

"CASES". When will the BS end.

My plans to drive 5 hours to games just went to a zero probability.

Why on earth would anyone accept "offical government numbers" reported of any Covid "deaths" when it's well known that hospitals and health institutions get PAID by the federal government for every "Covid death" reported?

Do you all even know how many people who have died in car accidents, from gun shots and even heart attacks or strokes that have been reported as Covid deaths? A LOT.

I totally agree. I simply don’t trust the CDC and I sure the hell don’t trust the federal government when comes to this. They have known to be chronic liars and serious deceivers. I recommend everyone get a vaccine, but I’ll be damned if the government should be telling anyone they have to get one.

Vaccinated people are actually spreading COVID more than unvaccinated. Why? They don't know they have it because they are asymptomatic or have a false sense of security and slight symptoms. Our government is full of evil morons that use fear to stay in power. Both sides of the aisle.

Dear lord!! Make this misinformation stop!!
think about what you just said!!

 

[Mercutio]

Hate to break the news to you but you can still get covid and spread with the experimental shot. And who's going to be responsible if someone has an adverse reaction to the shot?

You are more likely to get struck by lightning eating a Yeti Burger...

 

[SugarHillNole]

There are early reports that unvaccinated people are spreading it just the same if not more. It is matter of time before the truth comes out and is widespread news. Unless the CDC can squash it and reframe the narrative. Here are two articles on the subject:

New Data on COVID-19 Transmission by Vaccinated Individuals | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

While new data show that vaccinated people can carry high viral loads of SARS-CoV-2, vaccines still prevent the worst outcomes from COVID-19.

Lol the same UK agency said the “facts” from that very article are making the rounds on social media and are false and said the study supports vaccine use.

 

[Renegade27]

This is an extremely unfair policy regardless how many conferences adopt it. We have seen first hand from last year that Covid poses nearly 0 risk to these players lives. What happens if vaccinated players are infected?

Why would a team with an 85% infection rate only be tested once a week versus a team with under 85%? Both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated players can catch and spread Covid.

This has nothing to do with players safety nor is it about the spread of Covid. They are just trying to pressure players to get the vaccine.

I’ve seen 5 20-30 year olds die this week. Just FYI

 

[DentFSUman]

This has nothing to do with vaccine effectiveness. If 85% of our team is labeled fully vaccinated we can avoid robust testing and contact tracing. If we cannot reach 85% we will surely see at least one forfeit this year. And if we’re all praying for 6-6 or better, we better hope we don’t end up having to forfeit a winnable game.

Ummm they should get the vaccine.

 

[mjpwooo]

Look, the vaccine is prob a good idea if you are over 60/65, and/or you are fat. Otherwise, essentially forcing college age kids to get a vaccine for an illness that statistically doesn't kill them is just absurd.

I don't envy the coaches having to have this conversation.
