    Except unvaccinated people aren't masking or social distancing. So the unvaccinated are literally a plague on society. The FDA approval bit is a BS excuse among the anti-vax. Goalposts will move once that happens. Players injects many unknown, non-FDA approved PEDs. But no, this EUA vaccine that hundreds of millions of people have taken is too scary to take. Anyone that understands the basic science on how the mRNA vaccine works can tell you how safe and effective it is. The method has been dumbed down into basic cartoons, too.

    I know the science. I'm fully vaccinated. That being said, long term research on vaccine is non existent. FDA has not approved the vaccine. To say you have to vaccinate when masks and social distancing shown to be highly effective seems like authoritarian techniques. I don't blame anyone for not taking it when there isn't enough data long term, it's a gamble no matter what's said, specially with some of the heart concerns popping up. Once FDA is willing to put their name on it we can revisit the issue.

    A literal plague. Hmm. Pretty strong language. Might want to be careful. Many who haven't been vaccinated already had covid and have natural immunity.

    If you understand the science, I'm curious to hear what long term side effects you're scared of.

    We've had over 12 months of masking and social distancing. It works but only with a compliant population. How many people did you encounter that didn't mask or distance properly?

    How about you answer your own question since it's irrelevant, based on personal opinion/bias, and unable to be scientifically proven? Go ahead. While at it, research the link between heart inflammation and vaccinated patients that should give anyone pause regarding vaccine side effects from people like yourself that claim it is completely safe and harmless. And how about you tell me why the FDA hasn't given full approval for the vaccine since you claim they are sooooo certain of the benignity of its long term effects? Tell you what, you claim to know the future, how about the lotto numbers while at it?

    I don't think you understand the science as well as you think. The fact that you're worried about vaccine side effects more than sequela from COVID is also telling. But thank you for doing your part and getting vaccinated.

    You are right, sorry for derailing. BTW, can we fire BOB again for doing this horrendous trade?

    1. Where is the NFL saying you have to vaccinate?

    2. How is the NFL policy (that doesn’t require a vaccine) “an authoritarian technique” but mandating a mask isn’t?

    You have some of the NFL's top minds saying no to the vaccine -- Hopkins, Fournette, etc... really makes you think.

    Why wait? Let's check his production...WHOA!! Hopkins on pace for his worst season since his rookie year. While I'd be surprised if he continues to be a non-factor all season, I'm just as surprised that he's been the definition of mediocre so far.

    And David Johnson is on pace for about 275 yards rushing, 0 TDs and 275 yards receiving

    Everybody expected Johnson to be trash...did ANYbody expect Hopkins to struggle?
