Here's a screenshot from the actual article so we can all agree what it's talking about:
Can we further agree that Big 10 athletes are under 30? Then yes, that is indeed what the article is talking about.
"Also, where are the health “czars” to inform everyone (for example) and explain that metabolic syndrome and/or obesity is the leading indicator on poor outcomes associated with Covid? Nary a peep."
On this we completely agree. There should be a lot more discussion in the public space about how sedentary lifestyles and bad eating habits are contributing to massive amounts of death and disease. Not even just for COVID-19, but also heart disease, cancer, and other major health problems. If people got off their butts to exercise and ate better, we'd see probably half our healthcare costs disappear.
I would agree that all children are by definition under 30, but Big 10 athletes aren’t children!
What percentage of people (children included) have already had Covid 19 and recovered?
They should be testing people. Those who’ve already had Covid 19 should not he considered “unvaccinated”, the goal of vaccination is not vaccination, the goal is Herd Immunity. This includes variants.
I think it is generally considered not only unnecessary but potentially harmful to vaccinate in this particular instance, and we have to stop treating people as interchangeable meat sticks. 9 year olds are different than 19 year olds are different than 90 year olds, their immune systems.
