The NFL is hellbent on getting 100% of players “vaccinated” with the controversial Covid jab. But one has to wonder why the push when so many players and coaches are testing positive AFTER taking the so-called “vaccination”.
The NFL has implemented all kinds of draconian and segregationist policies to make the choice not to get “vaccinated” miserable while giving those who took the jab plenty of slobbering praise and admiration.
For example, those who refuse the jab must sit out five days if they come in contact with anyone known to test positive, but “vaccinated” players don’t have to. Oppressive masking and testing rules also apply to those refusing the jab as the NFL seems to be accepting the segregationist policies of the Biden Regime and the Democrat Party.
Today, for example, Dallas Cowboys coach Jerry Jones, sounding like a Communist Party member, revealed that he was pushing full “vaccination” of all players “for the common good,” a term historically used by despots to conduct all sorts of evils.
Jones told WFAA:
“Everyone has a right to make their own decisions regarding their health and their body. I believe in that completely until your decisions as to yourself impacts negatively many others. Then, the common good takes over. And I’m arm-waving here, but that has everything to do with the way I look at our team, the Cowboys, or the way I look at our society. We have got to check ‘I’ at the door and go forward with ‘we.’ Your Dallas Cowboys are doing that.”
But while the Democrat operatives in the fake news media are hammering pro-choice vaccine advocates like Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley for refusing to take the experimental “vaccine,” NBC Sports reported today that all four of the Dallas Cowboys who’ve just tested positive for Covid are . . . wait for it . . . “fully vaccinated”:
The Cowboys announced Saturday that their player vaccination rate is 93 percent. They have four players and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn in COVID-19 protocol, but Quinn, Carlos Watkins and CeeDee Lamb, all of whom tested positive, are fully vaccinated, Calvin Watkins of the Dallas Morning News reports.
In fact, earlier this month the NFL Players Association announced that nearly half of all infected individuals in the league (32 out of 65) were “vaccinated individuals,” meaning the Cowboys’ situation is not an anomaly.
This raises several questions:
Of course, there was no concern by Jerry Jones that 100% of the Dallas Cowboys testing positive for the virus were “fully vaccinated,” only the continued push for the jab to be taken, even as there’s plenty of evidence that the jabs are not working as originally promised by Big Pharma and the likes of Flip-Flopping Fascist Fear Fuhrer Fauci.
One can only ask why.
Common good? Which commoner is defining good. The good transgender educator? The good abortion planners? I will probably get the second shot, but the left rhetoric doesn’t motivate me.
“All those times you feel a little punky and run a low-grade fever but don’t really get sick is your immune system responding to a pathogen it recognizes and prevents from being a full blown illness”
COVID more often than not makes you “feel a little punky”. You need to do a better job of defending a vaccine that uses propaganda, hidden data/lies, social pressure and eventually force to administer.
“Guess What All 4 of the Dallas Cowboys Who Recently Tested Positive for Covid Have in Common . . .”
I figured that they were all at the same Strip Club.
Well, to be honest, look at the informed CDC notice from April 2021 that the vaccines ARE to keep one from getting infected.
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7013e3.htm
Excerpt: “Authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are effective for preventing SARS-CoV-2 infection in real-world conditions. COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for all eligible persons.”
CDC says the vaccine prevents infection. Not “keeps you off a ventilator”.
I was hoping you were going to post what you found about the polio vaccine. I found the following article from some research done in 2015. I’m not sure this is a complete summary of polio vaccine deaths, but just the major incident with a bad batch of vaccine that had LIVE polio virus in it. A total of TEN people died!! “One of the worst pharmaceutical disasters in US history” according to the article.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4599698/
In the era of modern medicine, some of the first concerns about vaccines causing death date to isolated, but high profile past vaccine safety incidents. The “Cutter Incident” in 1955 involved a flaw in the Salk polio vaccine manufacturing process at Cutter Laboratories that led to production of substantial amounts of what was thought to be inactivated vaccine that contained live poliovirus. The result has been called “…one of the worst pharmaceutical disasters in US history”[11], with 40,000 cases of polio resulting in 51 cases of permanent paralysis and five deaths among vaccinated individuals, and 113 cases of paralysis and five deaths among contacts of vaccinated individuals [11,12].
This is invincible stupidity!
So you are saying no one has died after getting the vaccine much less gotten seriously ill? Ok Joe Biden.
After 18 months of reading COVID posts, I think very few people at Free Republic get mixed up about the definition of basic medical terms.
At least one important point was concealed in this article - vaccinated players are not routinely tested. They are only tested when they develop symptoms or report a known exposure.
The four un-vaccinated players are tested weekly - and they show zero virus.
It would be very interesting to see what percentage of ALL vaccinated players are carrying live virus.
As you may know, multiple studies in Europe and Israel have shown that the Pfizer vaccine suppresses certain parts of the human immune system in a significant percentage of recipients.
Perhaps the vaccinated players are getting sick because the vaccine is suppressing their immune systems?
On the other hand, perhaps the un-vaccinated are not sick because their immune systems are undamaged and operating at maximum efficiency?
One final note...
The current USA Fatality Rate per confirmed infections is in the 0.5% - 0.6% range. Almost all those deaths were un-vaccinated.
During the COVID peak during January 2021, the Fatality Rate exceeded 2.0% for several weeks, and almost all those deaths were un-vaccinated, too.
It is quite clear that the Delta Variant is less deadly than the original virus and the original variants.
In fact, for the five weeks preceding the current outbreak, the COVID Fatality Rate was about 0.3%, which is only slightly above the normal influenza Fatality Rate.
Hey! I’ve got an idea… STOP TESTING ASYMPTOMATIC PEOPLE.
Cold… hard… stop!
Actually, that would be the immune system that goes to work in a normal, healthy individual, vaccinated or not. All the vaccine does is prime the immune system so it can get an earlier start.
If it weren't for the politics around it, this virus would be a yawner no one ever paid attention to. Almost of the deaths had politics as a comorbidity in addition to the individual being unhealthy in some way.

None of the literature from Pfizer or the FDA says anything about preventing serious illness. They say "prevention of COVID-19", which it obviously does not do. Why are some freepers trying to protect the reputation of the FDA and vax makers? https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-first-covid-19-vaccine

Who specifically hasn’t gotten any vaccine that has been pushing them?
I thought the answer was probably...... the same dad
No, I am saying the belief that there is serious undercount of adverse events based on a 10 year old study is wrong.
Reports are at an all time high because of the increased number of ways events can be reported and the very high rate of public awareness.
I’m not defending the Covid vaccines. I am explaining how all vaccines work in general.
Arguments against the Covid vaccines that are ignorant misstatements of how vaccines work undermine all the rational ones.
I appreciate your comment regarding how the immune system works and why we take vaccines in general.
What has been frustrating for me, and I am sure others, is the lack of good explanation as well as certainly some bad information, about how the COVID vax works compared to other vaccinations.
I am not a doctor or expert in medicines, so my non-medical expert history understands that traditional vaccinations use a form dead virus to expose the immune system to something it can generate antibodies for. Those can later help fight the live virus if infected. (I know I am simplifying and technically could be completely wrong - again, not a doctor here).
If I am close to right in the above, my confusion comes from not understanding what is new about the COVID vax, the use of mRNA (Pzizer/Moderna) or DNA (J&J). After many questions I still dont get what is different in either or both of these from the dead virus approach. Oh, and then there is spike proteins. Were spike proteins and DNA not part of traditional dead virus vaccines?
I wish someone could do a good tutorial on the differences, at the non-medical expert level. Then when people get all spun up about how ‘our DNA is being changed’ and ‘we are all going die in 6 months’, we could sort out truth from hysteria.
Yes this is a fact and what’s worse is it’s obvious that the true numbers of serious reactions and deaths are being manipulated and hidden. In the days of the polio and smallpox vaccine this deceptive behavior would not have been tolerated at any level.
Everyone has to make their own decision and it appears you have made yours.
The problem with dead/weakened pathogen vaccines is one of production time. The live pathogens have to be cultured in sufficient amounts to make the large amounts of vaccine needed for a worldwide vaccine push. Needless to say, that takes too much time to be able to get ahead of a novel pathogen in a pandemic situation.
The main advantage of the mRNA vaccines is speed. The target protein is identified and the mRNA to express it can be designed on a computer and synthesized in large amounts far more rapidly than live pathogens can be cultured. A highly useful technology, especially for potential bio-weapons or Fauci induced lab experiments gone wrong.
So the main difference between the two types of vaccines is cultured vs synthetic production of the antigens needed to induce an immune reaction in order to train it to respond to any live pathogen encountered in daily life.
The spike protein is unique to the corona virus (as far as we know) and what it uses to bind and break into our cells, so it was chosen as the target antigen for the new vaccines. Time will tell if that was a good choice, but I suspect that it is responsible for the higher level of adverse events and they should have perhaps chosen a different protein to serve as the antigen. But I could be completely wrong on that as well.
Choosing the antigen has to be very carefully done because choosing a protein too similar to a human one could provoke the immune system to attack our own similar protein thus causing an auto-immune disorder. That would be a catastrophic error. So I can understand the choice of the spike protein because of it’s uniqueness to the covid virus while remaining wary of it’s potential for adverse events. Everyone has to pick their own poison.
The problem with the mRNA vaccines is that it’s fairly new technology that is chockfull of unknown unknowns like every other new technology that comes along. We won’t know if there are any or what they are until they manifest and that takes time and widespread use to discover them.
Risk adverse types do not like that. I am firmly in the camp of individual freedom of choice. People should always make their own risk/benefit calculations.
The media has sunk so far below the level of used car salesmen that they have hopelessly muddied public discourse to the point that nobody trusts anything anyone says about anything, ever. Part partisanship and part stupidity, Jschools don’t attract the brightest minds, just the most fervent ones.
The FDA/NIH/CDC are full of incompetent bureaucrats who are good at bootlicking and butt-covering and not really good at math and science. Their messaging has been insulting, stupid and based on the personal calculations of the agency heads rather than fact-based science. They seem to be stuck on stupid and I don’t expect them to improve under the current power structure that is using the crisis and chaos to consolidate their hold on power.
Again, very much appreciated thought/info. You understand it from a 20,000 ft view far better than I did.
Any chance you could expound upon the topic with regards to the J&J (DNA vs mRNA) approach? Is it also synthesized? Also using spike protein?
