At least 100 US Olympic athletes are unvaccinated as Tokyo Olympic Games begin

Around 100 U.S. Olympic athletes that are set to compete in Japan remain unvaccinated as the Games begin on Friday.

U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee's medical chief Jonathan Finnoff said before the opening ceremony on Friday there were 567 athletes who filled out their health histories, with 83 percent of them saying they were vaccinated. There are 613 athletes going to the Olympics, The Associated Press reported.

"Eighty-three percent is actually a substantial number and we're quite happy with it," Finnoff said.

The Olympics did not require athletes to get vaccinated before arriving in the country and have taken measures such as removing all spectators to help curb the spread of the virus.

However, the Olympics are beginning as Tokyo has broken its six-month high for daily COVID-19 cases two days in a row.

Two U.S. athletes have had to withdraw from the Games for positive coronavirus tests, along with multiple athletes from other countries.

Officials report 85 percent of the Olympic village is vaccinated against the virus and strict measures have been placed on athletes to keep them safe.

Japanese citizens have been protesting the Olympics out of fear the big event that has caused thousands to flood into the country will lead to an increase in cases.

They should identify as vaccinated.

RE: They should identify as vaccinated.

There is a scientific argument to be made that if they DO have natural antibodies, they are as good as vaccinated, perhaps, even better.

If 100 freshly vaccinated Olympians collapsed and died on the field live on one billion TVs would they still insist the vaccines are perfectly safe?

Would Jane and John Q. Public believe them?

Big Media absolutely refuses to discuss natural immunity

If you listened only to Big Media, you wouldn’t even know such a thing exists ... or that it’s the main reason humans have been able to survive millions of years of infectious
diseases

Are you saying when it doesn’t happen it shows the vaccines are safe?

Nope. They could croak afterwards off camera, or merely be sufficiently impeded that the don’t quite get a medal, and therefore utterly vanish from reportage.

I’m saying would even losing 100 of the world’s best athletes, right in front of the whole world be enough to stop the Karen squads from going door-to-door to bully people who haven’t been vaccinated?

Would it stop DeBlasio from demanding that companies fire the unvaccinated?

Could it even give St. Fauci the Divine pause from beating the all must be vaccinated and infinitely booster shot?

What say you?

Would it?

Anecdotal.

Would 100 anecdotal events one after another after another in front of a billion viewers also be as ignored?

Do you think it would?

It’s a hypothetical, seriously, what do you think? There are no wrong answers, everyone has opinions, I invite you to share yours.

Depends on the level of censorship and mockingbird media propaganda.

Live TV, one billion live viewers, pretty hard to censor that many people.

And I missed the part where you had an opinion on the hypothetical. Would it suffice?

Of course not. They are lunatics to whom reality doesn’t matter.

Is there anything that would cause their counterparts on the other extreme to change their minds or actions? Of course not.

Lunatics, liars, freaks, despots, fanatics don’t deal in reality.
