I'm cool with ending racism. If the field saying it actually brought about the end of racism I'm fully on board.

I don’t think it will change people though so...
It's all virtue signaling.

I dunno, at some point you gotta shove politics aside and set an example for your team as its supposed leader. The health of the team is more important. People also look up to their favorite team's QB, too, like it or not.
Fuck all of that.
I don't think he'd keep his kids from getting a Polio or Measles vaccine, so why is this one different?
Go look at the research and testing time each of those vaccines took before they were approved for public use, to start.

I don't see where not wanting the vaccine has anything to do with politics. It surely doesn't for me.

It matters to the people that have politicized this from the beginning.

Didn't those vaccines come out in the 40s though?

So that should matter on how thoroughly they were tested before being safe for human use?

I don’t agree with that.

I don’t agree with that.

I would hope we've advanced a bit since then. I understand the skepticism but it always accompanies a new vaccine.

Take it to the Rona thread. I think there needs to be a new rule. Conversations that become OT should be shelved to the OT forum. COVID-19 is relevant to the sports world in itself but these conversations always devolve into this.

Sure, things improve with technological advances. I get that. But testing times don’t. You still need ample case studies on a drug. Why are other drugs TODAY taking years to be tested and approved by the FDA, but this one didn’t? They enjoy those same advances you speak of here.

I don’t think this was given nearly enough testing. If you do, that’s fine. I disagree.

Clinical trials don't even end until 2023.

Not to mention 2 of the FDA's highest officials just quit saying White House pressure to fast track boosters is the last straw

You know those vaccines didn’t have the entire world, the latest science, and just about unlimited budgets working on it. Not the same thing.
