Buffalo Bills WR Cole Beasley issues statement regarding COVID vaccine
Cole Beasley | jimjohn

Posted on 07/28/2021 1:20:27 PM PDT by jimjohn

[NOTE: Cole Beasley has been literally carrying the water for the NFL players on this issue. He is speaking for hundreds of players; standing up to both the NFL and the NFLPA. His official statement read to the press this morning says a lot - jimjohn ]

"I want to start this off by saying, I'm not anti or pro vax, I'm pro choice. With that being said, the issue at hand is that information is being withheld from players in order for a player to be swayed in a direction he may not be comfortable with.

"When dealing with a player's health and safety, there should be complete transparency regarding information that is vital in the decision-making process. Without having all the proper information, a player can feel misguided and unsure about a very personal choice. It makes the player feel unprotected against concerns about future topics regarding health and our ability to make educated decisions.

With regard to our overall safety, we have to know we are armed with full knowledge and understanding that those who are in a position to help us will always do that based on our individual situation.

Some people may think that I'm being selfish and making this a me thing - it is all about the young players who don't have a voice and are reaching out to me every day because they're being told if they don't get vaxxed, they'll be cut. Agents are being told by teams if they have unvaccinated guys, they will not be given opportunities, as of now, to be seen in workouts. Once unvaxxed players get cut, they're losing a dream they've worked their whole lives for over a vaccine that has proven to not keep people from contracting COVID, as we've seen.

Every doctor I've gone to with questions begins every sentence with, 'From what we know now...,' which tells me we don't know enough. The NFLPA is working to have vaccinated players tested more frequently than what the NFL initially stated. A lot of players got the vaccination with the idea that these rules were already set in stone, and they're not. It is common sense that if a vaxxed or unvaxxed player is tested less frequently, the likelihood for a player to be pulled from COVID drops dramatically.

In regard to player safety, I will conclude by saying we all want to be safe. For so many players around the NFL, safety does not solely mean avoiding the COVID virus. Our health is the now and years beyond, which we are trying to protect with our personal choice while doing all the things we did in our protocol during a very successful 2020 NFL season. That's kind of where the issue has been for me this whole time, and that's how I want to end it right there."

NFLPA president demaurice smith, obama’s buddy, has punked out on this and the NFLPA has not stood up for the non-vax players.

Dim logic: This proves Cole is racist!

Normal person: Why is that?

Because you're so racist you can't see it!

Yes. I had to look him up, to see what race. Because whatever public reaction to his comments will be completely determined based on the fact that he must be a privileged racist.

Exactly. The Dims are trying really hard to make all expressions by white people to be always booed as though they’re trying to do comedy standup live at the Harlem Apollo.

Science is how they want to report the information.

The material further down was excerpted from what I believe to be the experimental medical products law, corrections welcome.

As a consequence of alleged media and government censorship concerning risks with the vaccine and alternatives to it, Ivermectin and vitamins C and D3 for example in my non-medical opinion, people who are mandating the vaccine are not reasonably complying with parts (II), risks, and (III), alternative relief, of the law imo.

In fact, the way that the law reads, lack of transparency concerning problems with the experimental CV19 "vaccines" should allow people to refuse the jab without consequence imo.

21 U.S. Code § 360bbb–3 - Authorization for medical products for use in emergencies
"(e) Conditions of authorization
(1) Unapproved product
(A) Required conditions
(ii) Appropriate conditions designed to ensure that individuals to whom the product is administered are informed
(I) that the Secretary [Secretary of Health and Human Services] has authorized the emergency use of the product;

(II) of the significant known and potential benefits and risks of such use, and of the extent to which such benefits and risks are unknown; and

(III) of the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks."

Also, CDC may be waking up.

CDC Director Now Says ‘New Data’ Shows Breakthrough Cases in Vaccinated People Can Spread as Much Virus as Unvaccinated (7.28.21)

As a non-medical person, I question if experimental CV19 “vaccines,” such “vaccines” seemingly generating windfall profits for Big Pharma from lucrative government contracts, are possibly interfering with natural “herd” immunity?

Again, corrections, insights welcome.

Translation: Biden and the rest of the commie democrats are lying through their teeth. They themselves are not vaccinated yet want to impose their sick experimentation on the little people.

Cole speaks Texan. He’s from Little Elm, an SMU grad and a long-time successful slot receiver for the Dallas Cowboys.
