Cole Beasley is going off on the NFL's COVID protocols.

I think they are:

Apparently nobody should get a vaccine because it was maybe "God's will" that hundreds of thousands of Americans have died?

 

P.S. The NFL's message seems clear: get f***ing vaccinated.

We ought to know, by now, that pandemics are pretty low on god's priority list.

I had to look up who that clown Cole Beasley was.

Right up there with it being god's will that your neighbor's baby got leukemia and died because he needed another angel in heaven.

I think that might be an underestimation....

Why not just get vaccinated? I got mine back in January.

I am just glad the misinformation in the internet did not exist to stop people getting the Small Pox vaccine decades ago.   High vaccination rates basically made Small Pox extinct.

Several strains of the flu are extinct now.

Yes that is interesting and good, but it looks like there's another variant of the Coronavirus threatening the population.

And a quote from that article:

Quote

The variant, first identified in India, is the most contagious yet and, among those not yet vaccinated, may trigger serious illness in more people than other variants do, say scientists tracking the spread of infection.

The summary is that Delta could lead to a significant surge in cases, especially in communities with relatively low rates of vaccination. All of the vaccines provide pretty good (not perfect) protection against all the variants, including Delta.

The mental math for people just changed. Hopefully more people get the vaccine.

I hope you're right, but I'm not that optimistic.  Resistance to being vaccinated has so far been based in everything except real data, so I'll be (pleasantly) surprised if new data changes the minds of many.
