US sports leagues facing COVID-19 crisis
The Hill ^ | 12/16/2021 | NATHANIEL WEIXEL

Professional sports leagues across the U.S. are dealing with a COVID-19 crisis, as a rash of cases is forcing the NHL and NBA to postpone games, and NFL teams to scramble to fill roster spots for absent players.

After multiple COVID outbreaks in 2020, the hope this year was that high vaccination rates and a strict adherence to protocols would stave off a surge in infections.

Until this week, it seemed to be working.

They should all get a Booster Jab every week from now on, just to be safe

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=

The so-called “crisis” is what happens when you use HOPE & POLITICAL science in lieu of REAL science.

If these were clinical trials then the obvious conclusion would be that vaccine, mask and social distances do nothing to protect someone from the virus.

The question becomes why are they pushing so hard?

That is a question that rational people would ask, and real scientists would welcome and consider.

But no. It is all emotion and politics.

— “...why are they pushing so hard?”

Totalitarianism wills to power and money. Many cheer for it thinking they will share in the spoils.

That's the big question. This is like the government pushing fake psychic mind-reading or penis enlargement pills or baldness remedies. Why are they so insistent on pushing such an ineffective vaccine?

In the face of continuednfailure, why do they continue to do the same thing?
Reminds me an Einstein-ism.

Still, the mantra persists; Everyone MUST be vaxx’d!

Every week? How about every hour? It is impossible to test everyone present, check the results while simultaneously boosting each individual who have come in contact with those awaiting tests results, or something like that. I propose all players be issued rolling IV drip devices filled with a cocktail of all available boosters. Patients make pretty good time with these tooling down hospital hallways. Anything less invites Covid calamity.

We usually don’t know if anyone is actually sick and, if so, how sick? All we know is “tested positive” which really means very little as the virus is now endemic.

Is anyone else curious as to why NFL, NBA, MLS and MLB, players seem to be immune to the heart and other issues caused by the shot?

The following groups have players collapsing and dying from heart issues and strokes (10 times more than normal):

- US high school and (to a lesser extent) college football, baseball, basketball and soccer players
- US retired athletes, all sports
- US pro players in sports except for MLB, NFL, NBA, MLS (with the exception of Brandon Goodwin)
- Pro and Olympic athletes in every sport outside the US

(List is here)

I really wonder if they got a placebo.

Aww dang it all! So, “fully” vaxxed? “Fully” boostered? Because we all know those simple steps would have done something. Or not. The more we know, the more we NO!

Not a single Covid hospitalization or death in the MLB, NFL, NHL or NFL since January 2020.

I think I’d rather watch Don Cherry podcasts and videos of vintage hockey games, lol.

“ The question becomes why are they pushing so hard?”

1. It was a bio-war release by China. The sold-out (see 2) power elites in Washington don’t want to be forced into a response to a blatant act of war that was designed to collapse our part of civilization. Washington obfuscates to cover their complicity in our destruction.

2. China has made multi-millionaires (if not billionaires) out of much of the power elite in Washington (including the bureaucracy). They bought them, they own them. Washington bows the knee to what China wants…which is to turn us into weak sh*thole country. They’ve been wildly successful in a short period of time.

3. The Washington power elites are laundering a boatload of the printed dollars that are paying for the Big Pharma vaccines and the more Big Pharma rakes in, the richer they get too. A little skim every morning does a body good.

Or you can cut the 1-2-3 and just say treason. We were destroyed by our government.

When this all started the experts said virus gonna virus, 18 months, burn itself out etc. We’re going on 2 years here and the virus is still spiking around. How come that is? Vaccine my ass!

What about the game attendees? A vaccine table should be set up at each turnstile.

Ticket-taker scans fan’s ticket, fan gets jab at vax table, fan passes thru turnstile, fan passes out.

It’s almost like Ivermectin would work better.
