Rick Dennison Out as Vikings Offensive Line Coach After Refusing COVID Vaccine
New York Post ^ | July 23, 2021 | Evan Orris

Posted on 07/23/2021 2:46:30 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The Minnesota Vikings and assistant coach Rick Dennison have parted ways after the coach refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine, according to ESPN on Friday. He is believed to be the first position coach to move on from his team because of the vaccine.

The move comes a day after an NFL memo revealed that teams will be forced to forfeit if there is a COVID-19 outbreak resulting from unvaccinated players. The rule was set to encourage players and coaches to receive the vaccine.

Any staff member who is labeled a “Tier 1” member is required to receive the vaccine. The league has also said that any unvaccinated Tier 1 member has to provide a religious or medical reason to not receive it. If they don’t, they would be stripped of their top-tier status and would face extreme protocols throughout the season. Only Tier 1 members can be on the field and in the meeting room with their players.

We need more people like this. If one person stands up others will lead. I have first hand experience with this courage. I’ve seen it happen. I almost got stomped by a bunch of thugs but other good men stood with me. The thugs slithered away.

That sucks.
Lose your job because you refuse to take the shot. They are doing all they can to train the people to bend their knee to the self-appointed masters. Seems like preparation for the administration of the mark of the beast.
Good for the coach on saying ‘no’’.

What happens when there is a Covid outbreak with all vaccinated players?

The National Football League is mandating something that doesn't exist. None of these are "vaccines"; they're all experimental treatments.

The team owners need to be charged for crimes against humanity along with others in Nuremberg II.

Forcing experimental treatment on individuals was specifically addressed in the permissible experiments section of the Nuremberg Code in 1947. (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/).

"The great weight of the evidence before us to effect that certain types of medical experiments on human beings, when kept within reasonably well-defined bounds, conform to the ethics of the medical profession generally. The protagonists of the practice of human experimentation justify their views on the basis that such experiments yield results for the good of society that are unprocurable by other methods or means of study. All agree, however, that certain basic principles must be observed in order to satisfy moral, ethical and legal concepts:"

"The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision."

"The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity."

"The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury."

"Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death."

"The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment."

"During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible."

Institutions that attempt to force experimental treatments need to be exposed, charged, and dissolved if necessary. Their behavior is no different than korporations who committed atrocities in Nazi Germany at the behest of the government.

I thought the same thing. Listened to discussion on radio and they assumed all issues will come from unvaxed, but no discussion if vaxxed come up positive.
