NHL Halts Season Over Covid Surge Despite Being 99.5% “Fully Vaccinated”
NOQ Report ^ | 12/21/2021 | JD Rucker

Posted on 12/21/2021 10:38:00 AM PST by SeekAndFind

The National Football League and National Basketball League get the lion’s share of attention pertaining to Covid-19 because they’re popular sports leagues that have gone to extreme measures to get as many players and coaches vaccinated as possible. But the National Hockey League has actually beaten the other two major sports leagues that are active right now in vaccinations with over 99.5% of their players fully-jabbed.

Only 4 remain unjabbed.

Based on everything we’ve heard from Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden, and the vaxx-nannies in government, that means the NHL should be completely protected from Covid-19. But as we have all learned lately (though many have known for months), the vaccines aren’t working and even the ultra-vaxxed NHL is making changes to their season as a result.

According to Breitbart:

The National Hockey League (NHL) will halt its season Wednesday as fear spreads over the omicron coronavirus variant.

In an announcement on Monday, the NHL said that the National Hockey League Players Association agreed to “postpone the five games that remain scheduled on Thursday, December 23, in order to begin the collectively-bargained Holiday Break effective with the conclusion of games tomorrow night, December 21.”

All practice and games will be off between December 22 and December 25 until players are permitted to report back to their clubs, which “be used for testing, practice and/or travel only.”

“Upon returning from the holiday break to team facilities, no individual in the team’s traveling party shall enter the facility (other than for testing purposes) until they have a negative test result,” said the announcement.

“The NHL regular season schedule resume on Monday, December 27,” it concluded.

Corporate media and an unfortunate number of independent conservative media outlets are spinning or ignoring the ultra-vaxxed aspect of this story, but we won’t. We can’t. It’s so blatant that it’s a wonder any journalist can ignore it and still look at themselves in the mirror.

Did they check if they caused the outbreak?

This ‘cluster’ is what happens when you substitute political science for real science. You’d think people, supposedly with at least a base level of intelligence, would “get a clue” at some point ....

Do most "journalists" have a reflection in a mirror?

Whoever told you that any vaccine can “stop” or “prevent” infection, told you a big fat lie.

It is metaphysically impossible for any vaccine to prevent virus material floating in air to be filtered out before taking residence in respiratory system. May be someday they will invent a vaccine which will build a filter in the nose. But we are not even close to that.

ONLY function of all vaccines is to create additional stock of anti-bodies. Those come in handy AFTER infection occurs. In most cases those anti-bodies subdue the virus, and the patient does not even show symptoms. For the un-initiated it gives the false impression that vaccine “prevented” infection. In reality it did not prevent initial infection. All it did was kill the virus before symptoms appeared.

In other words, it gives you Immunity.
Immunity.
The clot shot does NOT.

The NHL is holding off on games through the Christmas weekend for political posturing but also because viewership dropped off for the holiday. It's the same with canceled Broadway shows, especially the Christmas Spectacular; it wasn't the O M M O I R C O R N O I N C variant, it's that attendance it so low they don't want to bother with the event.

Proving that the vaccines are functionally worthless. Even if we achieved the fascist's wet dream of 99% or more vaccination they would still find excuses to "halt our season" - aka lockdowns, closures, mask mandates, booster mandates.

It is never going to end unless and until we make it end.

That’s a lot of ad revenue lost, and the teams will suffer other ills.

Oh and the teams have to pay the players and staff.

And other maladies like retail sales and...

All because of fear.

Fear will eat your lunch if you can’t control it.

Good point. More than any other professional sports league in North America, the NHL has to deal with travel restrictions across the USA-Canada border.

Jordan played in the NBA finals with the flu and scored 38 points. For that he was uniformly considered heroic and the best type of team player. Seems like a lifetime ago.

So they did as they were told, and were told ad nauseum the vax would protect them, and now.... *pffft*

Which is meaningless.
