This is not a debate about masks, vaccines, politics. This is a serious question that I have. I don’t know the answer, so if someone can help me I’d appreciate it.
I get the feeling from listening to our fans and coaches that the key to playing this season successfully, without the potential of forfeiting a game, is to get everyone vaccinated.
We know that vaccines are given to prevent serious illness or death, not infection. So if they’re going to do contact tracing like they did last year, doesn’t anyone think that the emphasis should not only be on vaccines but on maintaining the strict discipline they had last year? If they’re basing everything on a positive Covid test, and then they do contact tracing, it doesn’t matter if these kids have been vaccinated or not. Infections are going to be infections. The vaccination does not prevent infections.
I’m not bringing this up from a political standpoint and I don’t care about anybody’s viewpoints on vaccines, but why does it matter so much if these kids are vaccinated? Not from a health perspective, I’m strictly speaking about playing this season.
Please, save your typing fingers and spare everyone your political viewpoints and CDC data. I just failed to see how anyone can feel safer about us playing through the season based on vaccination rate.
Thanks in advance for your answers if somebody knows how to respond.
