NFL's top Physician talks about vaccination within the league. I link it - you read it (if you wish).

Of course the Doc has to stick to the authorized narratives, but some interesting take-aways:
-He concedes the rapidly rising covid cases in the NFL are amongst the vaccinated (more players vax'd after all)

-He says, "COVID zero is not really achievable. It's not going to disappear, as much as we'd like that." A big 'duh' to all sensible people of any political persuasion, though that's rattling, never settled in Biden's Alzheimer head or in the mediots hellbent on polemicizing medicine and trying to drive opponents, jobless and penniless, into ghettos of Poland, star in hand.

-He frames the vaccines primarily as a symptom-reducer/get-well-faster treatment rather than a covid-prevention treatment...at least in the context of young athletes.

I think the evidence supports what he's saying for the most part. It's clearly not going to prevent it but I only know 1 person who was vaccinated and had a difficult time with it.

Yeah it's about the symptoms really.

The vaccines cannot guarantee not getting exposed and getting infected. No vaccines ever really do that. It’s a system to enhance recoverability of the vaccinated over just hoping your body’s system can survive the infection. Those with certain conditions as well as age can become very vulnerable without the vaccines. It’s all a gamble and the theory is that vaccines will enhance a persons odds.

This is correct but a lot of idiots and politicians out there have tried to sell the vaccine as a way to halt the spread. It's just not true.

No it isn’t true. You cannot eradicate anything from a preventive vaccination. Only applications of cures and treatment for same will eradicate a symptom. This is a new virus so there are millions of targets available to perpetuate the continuing spread.

As I understand it, it does help to prevent the spread as well
I think that's just propaganda. The viral load between vaccinated and unvaccinated is similar. Now there are other factors to consider such as a person less sick isn't going to take the steps to prevent the spread like a person who is hospitalized for example. A person who is vaccinated may not cough and sneeze as much releasing less particles in the air.

But ultimately I don't think there is any legitimate studies that show the the vaccine helps prevent the spread. It's mostly a for your own protection sort of thing.

It isn't panic-worthy, but it just goes to show you that it ain't going away.
Of course it's not going away. That would be like talking about the flu going away. People need to just get the fuck back to their lives and let this shit run its course. There will never ever be Covid zero. Ever.

Oh, give 'em time. They'll have the sheep whipped into a panic in due time.

And why would they want it to go away? Pretty convenient tool to have, I'd say.
Not just a tool, but a massive moneymaker for their pharma lobbyists.

This goes to the exact reason people like myself are irate at the government response.

They talk out both sides of their mouth. They want to get in front of the press and talk about restrictions for Americans and new testing protocols and blah fucking blah.

Then Fauci faggot struts out there and backs everything the Biden administration announces they’ll be doing. THEN, Peter Doucey asks the only logical question at that entire press conference.

Fauci cowers like the little gnome he is whenever someone lays out a double standard to him. It was the riots last year, he didn’t want to say that the riots were contributing to covid in a negative manner. Now it’s the border, he agrees that testing, vaccines, and travel bans are necessary, but illegals spilling over the border and released without vaccination is. . . “That’s a different issue.”

What? How is someone from South Africa flying here and having to go through al the protocols any worse than some illegal jumping the border?

Ask yourself why. Then ask yourself why any regulation of this is necessary if they aren’t going to enforce it across the board.
