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.

The NFL's top doctor says vaccinated players who get COVID-19 get better quicker — and back to the field sooner — than their unvaccinated teammates
Yeah it's about the symptoms really.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.
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.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.
As I understand it, it does help to prevent the spread as wellThis 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.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.
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.As I understand it, it does help to prevent the spread as well
It isn't panic-worthy, but it just goes to show you that it ain't going away.
Oh, give 'em time. They'll have the sheep whipped into a panic in due time.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.It isn't panic-worthy, but it just goes to show you that it ain't going away.
Not just a tool, but a massive moneymaker for their pharma lobbyists.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.
This goes to the exact reason people like myself are irate at the government response.
Nope and no matter what you do to contain it the virus always makes it's way to America.It isn't panic-worthy, but it just goes to show you that it ain't going away.
