The Republican party thinks that they can take back the House next year, but I’m not sure there will be enough republicans to win an election. Look at a political map and a covid map. The deep red states are low vaccination, the opposite for democratic states with high vaccination rates.

The stubborn, gullible, and stupid are now the ones who are dying from covid. Every covid death right now can be avoided.
While I agree, it seems it takes a flashbulb moment to trigger the population.

I’ll refrain from the political divide. I will say it’s the duty of the repubs to guide their constituents. If Trump and his family got vaccinated, what’s the issue? Because yeah, they are pretty much the ones dying right now.

But everyone is still at risk. Because as long as there is population that it can exist in, a mutation can happen that the vaccine won’t protect against. Then we are back to square one again. Also this delta variant is stronger, more contagious, and produces more strain.

No vaccine mandate yet....but the league just provided some more guidance about COVID protocols this season with more advantages for teams/players that are vaccinated:

https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/sta...58413142818816

Quote:
Vaccinated individuals who test positive and are asymptomatic can return to play after two negative tests 24 hours apart.

Unvaccinated individuals will be subject to mandatory 10-day isolation period.
https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/sta...56770305335299

Quote:
If a game cannot be rescheduled during the 18-week season in 2021 due to a COVID outbreak among unvaccinated players, the team with the outbreak will FORFEIT and be credited with a loss for playoff seeding, per sources.

Massive implications.
https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/sta...57949034745859

Quote:
The league intends to play its entire 272-game schedule over 18 weeks (17 games per club). And this is key:

"We do not anticipate adding a '19th week' to accommodate games that cannot be rescheduled within the current 18 weeks of the regular season."

Play on time or don't play.
https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/sta...59009044353024

Quote:
More strong language from today's NFL memo:

"Every club is obligated under the Constitution and Bylaws to have its team ready to play at the scheduled time and place. A failure to do so is deemed conduct detrimental. There is no right to postpone a game."
https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/sta...61816493363203

Quote:
And the biggest penalty of all for players:

"If a game is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled within the current 18-week schedule due to a Covid outbreak, neither team’s players will receive their weekly paragraph 5 salary."

You read that right: NOBODY GETS PAID.
https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/sta...63386098372610

Quote:
So to summarize, if an outbreak of unvaccinated NFL players causes a game to be cancelled:

- Infected team forfeits, takes a loss for playoff seeding, faces financial penalties and possible additional sanctions if protocols violated

- Players on both teams don't get paid

This should put pressure on unvaccinated players to get vaccinated. Not only could you be costing your team a loss but you are costing your team mates a ton of money. We shall see if this wonderful locker Ballard has built means shit when the rubber hits the road with these guys. There can be zero question not getting vaccinated puts your team at risk with these new NFL rules.

Jim Irsay says the Colts are above 50% vaccination rate and "hopefully getting toward 100%."

Irsay on vaccinations: "It just makes the most sense. There's always risks with everything in life, and getting vaccinated is the right thing to do."

It's clear where the owner stands.

Quote:
Irsay, Ballard, Reich and team leaders have all been pushing players to get vaccinated. "I look at it this way," Irsay says, "I'm gonna do anything I possibly can to help us win games ...

(on the team's low vax rate) Sure it's a concern. One game can shift things."

Players need to get the vaccination now, in time for the season. Once the preseason starts, its too late
