Well, shoot!  And I was just about to invite you to an all expense paid round in the Bahamas with me!  😁

Penn State just mandated masks for all indoors, vaccinated or not.

Vaccinated people will not have to be tested, though.

What is it about a person who has a platform if you will and cannot use it to encourage people rather than tell everyone that if “…your young and strong like me” you don’t need a shot. What a fool!

There's a new variant of the virus out there right now... very contagious.  I don't have time to be dying in a hospital.  I have tee times coming up

I 100% Second your statement!

My company just reinstated mask mandates in open areas for all and a few other reasonable restrictions.  All are things I can "LIVE" with. (pun intended)

Just read this yesterday.  National news... you've probably all read it too.  Guy and his wife, with kids, decide to wait one full year from the first vaccination to determine if it was safe.  He caught Covid-19 a week ago, fought and fought, several hospitals.  39 years old... he died.  His final text to his wife:  "I should have gotten the damn shot".

Hurricane coming soon to the Bahamas.  I don't like to play golf in the wind.  But thanks Zippo.  At least you're not a covidiot.  😁

Wow, where I live everything is a half hour drive. 

Even to the end of your driveway.  Even to the closest public school.

But DeChambeau, 27, said he does not regret his decision not to get vaccinated for the coronavirus.

"The vaccine doesn't necessarily prevent it from happening," DeChambeau told a few reporters after his nine-hole pro-am round at TPC Southwind on Wednesday. "I'm young enough, I'd rather give it [the vaccine] to people who need it. I don't need it. I'm a healthy, young individual that will continue to work on my health.

Bryson honey, that is so much BS!  My friend that I played golf with on Monday says he takes vitamin D so therefore he is immune.  I drink red wine... so I'm good too.  Or at least I'll die in a stupor...

His excuse is several months out of date.  I understand the hesitation for a lot of people from something injected into you.  My wife and I looked into the science, made our decision to get it as soon as we are eligible and did it.  I admit I was nervous.   I did it anyway.   Bryson should just say he’s an anti-vaxxer or scared.  Better than saying tripe like that.

Brooks should call him chicken….

So here we have vaccines available for COVID and people are hesitant for multiple reasons and misinformation from political leaders, celebrities, athletes, etc.

But everyday people take prescribed and over the counter medications for what ever sickness they may have. Side effects from these medications are on the label.  Commercials everyday on television advertise this and that for skin conditions, headaches, aches and pains and each state a disclaimer “….if irritation or nausea or blah, blah blah appears or persists contact your doctor”.

They gladly take these medications for what ails them, but won’t take a shot for a virus that can kill them!

Just amazing.

Virtually all of us have had something injected into us. That's why it's rare to see a case of Smallpox or Polio.

It looks like FDA will be giving the Pfizer final approval sometime in the next few months. Maybe as early as next month.

The Food and Drug Administration’s move is expected to kick off more vaccination mandates for hospital workers, college students and federal troops.

Come on people, get vaccinated.

Now everyone with the "I'm waiting for full FDA approval" excuse can put up or shut up, or move the goalposts again.

This proves he's an idiot and not a "scientist".  Just enough information to be dangerous to himself and to others.

Just because you are young does not guarantee you will be fine.  He just happened to be one of the lucky ones.

That’s the least important point of his ignorance. It’s the fact that he’s allowing himself to be a host for the virus to not only pass to another but to allow a variant to be created. He’s an absolute idiot.

Guess he missed that basic bio class in college too. He’s a dangerous ass.

Looking more and more like it'll be early to mid-September according to the New York Times article.
