Martinez on Nats’ [COVID] outbreak: ‘Thank God’ most were vaccinated
NBC ^ | 7/29/21

Posted on 07/29/2021 9:38:14 AM PDT by Tipllub

After a coronavirus outbreak in their clubhouse affected four players and nine staff members, Nationals manager Davey Martinez expressed how grateful he was that a majority of those placed into health protocols were vaccinated.

“I truly believe, from what I’ve seen, thank God that most of us if not all of us are vaccinated and it does help,” Martinez told reporters Thursday morning. “The vaccination does help. I couldn’t even imagine going through this with people that aren’t vaccinated but the vaccination does help. There were some mild symptoms and that’s all it was so I’m really glad that we were all vaccinated.”

The Nationals announced Thursday morning that catcher Alex Avila and relievers Daniel Hudson and Austin Voth would be joining shortstop Trea Turner, who left Tuesday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies due to testing positive, on the IL. Major League Baseball was forced to postpone Wednesday’s game between the Nationals and Phillies when the outbreak was discovered. The contest will be made up as part of a straight doubleheader Thursday.

According to Martinez, all but one of the individuals that tested positive were vaccinated. Avila was already on the IL with dual calf strains and had yet to complete a running program before being named in Thursday’s announcement, but the other three players were all on the active roster. Perhaps the most heavily affected part of the Nationals’ organization is their coaching staff. Martinez will be working with essentially a different staff in the dugout Thursday, including using injured outfielder Kyle Schwarber as his unofficial bench coach.

So now the brainwashed sheep are doing “praise ‘da lord” when they have a post-vaccination Covid infection, convinced they would have croaked without the vax.

I am so disappointed in my fellow Americans. I did not know it would be so easy for them to fall in line like sheep.

From almost every angle, the Nationals are in shambles.

I have a neighbor who just had to have the shots. She has had blood clots and is now complaining about a stiff neck. She is also having brain fog. She took Moderna.

Any follow up on the 8 Yankee’s players that tested positive, most if not all of them where vaxed.

Oh thank goodness a disease from which 99% of those who have no underlying conditions survive anyway didn’t kill these athletes whose whole livelihood depends on being fit.

Drama queens.

Martinez is an idiot thanking his abusers for injecting him with a vaccine that does not work. He is a sad whore thanking her pimp for the beating.

"I couldn’t even imagine going through this with people that aren’t vaccinated but the vaccination does help."

I CAN imagine it, because it happened. Many athletes - college and professional - were infected BEFORE the vaccines were available, and they too showed minimal symptoms, if any. I'm not aware of any who became seriously ill or died.

THE MAGIC QUOTE BY IDIOT MARTINEZ:


According to Martinez, all but one of the individuals that tested positive were vaccinated.”

The Delta variant is not any worse than the general flu. You do remember the flu don’t you? When 5 or 6 people were out a few days from your work over the last 50 F@#kin years! For the love of God and Country get a hold on yourself.

Branch Covidian:"I'm glad I got the experimental treatment. I believe it kept me from getting sicker."
Reporter: "How did you get sick?"
Branch Covidian:"I got sick from the experimental treatment."

Reporter: "Are you sure the experimental treatment worked?"
Branch Covidian:"It must have. I got sick and it could have been worse."
Reporter: "Didn't you already beat COVID-19 anyway, before the shot?"
Branch Covidian:"Yes, but the shot kept me from getting it worse subsequent times."

Reporter: "Why are you coercing people to get one of these experimental treatments?"
Government Pusher:"Because masks don't work."
Reporter: "Why are you mandating mask wearing?"
Government Pusher:"Because the shots don't work."

Thank God we spent 25 Trillion Dollars on LBJ’s “War on Poverty”! Can you image what America would be like if we wouldn’t have spent 25 Trillion on Welfare and Subsidizing Out of Wedlock Children?

(Psst: the poverty rate today is higher than 1965)
