Ok, now that we're in here...
The bad orange man said to take the vaccine. And the biggest group of non vaccinated by percentage are black men. So for plenty of people, this isn't political. I know I'd never make a decision on what to put into my body based on something as silly as what person or what party happens to be in power at the time, and I know I'm not alone.
It's pretty simple -- we know this virus poses serious risks to different groups of people, namely the old and those with comorbidities. Young healthy NFL players are at almost zero risk, so I totally understand players not wanting it. That shouldn't even be a controversial position.
My parents are old, so I'm glad they've taken it. I'm in the middle age-wise, but I'm healthy, so I think my risk is very low of something bad happening. If I'm wrong and I die, that'll suck, but odds are very against that happening, and I'd rather not put an experimental substance in my body. I'm that way on anything, not just this vaccine. I prefer to avoid pharmaceuticals whenever possible. Again, that shouldn't be controversial and it certainly isn't political.
But I will say the narrative that if you don't vax you're causing deadly mutations to kill people is false. Too much to go in to here, but check it out on the web, and not just the big corporate and social media because they are not telling you the entire story.
