Let’s see them cancel the Christmas games. Then we will know they are serious.

Waiting for the democrat/media/big pharma/Faux-xi cheerleaders on here to say the death serum is perfectly safe with 98% efficacy.

Well, with the free time the players and coaches now have they can all power-boost with a few mega-doses of the “vaccines” for a few days. It won’t help, but at least for now the “vaccines” aren’t banned substances by the league run by “men” scared out of their minds over the Fauci Flu.

Even medically uninformed should know, that no vaccine ever “stopped” infection. None of the vaccines construct a filter in nose to block the virus material breathed in. Only function of vaccine is to create additional anti-bodies to fight the virus AFTER it has invaded the body.

Doctors like McCullough say that asymptomatic people should NOT be tested .... the constant testing is ridiculous.

And, in a related move, the Denver Broncos will be forced to start a Defensive Tackle at quarterback this week.

So help me understand this. I have some family members politely asking me not to visit them this Christmas because I am unvaccinated. Yet is seems that it is mostly vaccinated people are the ones getting sick and testing positive.
Actually most, if not all, of these players tested positive but are NOT sick. But the NFL bureaucracy forced them out of their active rosters. The players’ argument is: “we got jabbed, we got boosted just like you commanded. We tested positive but have no symptoms. We should be allowed to play”.
If the vaccines supposedly prevent you from getting too sick, and 99% of nfl personnel are vaccinated, then symptom-free players SHOULD be allowed to play. Pulling them is bad PR for the vaccine.

“100 NFL players have apparently returned positive COVID-19 results over the past week”
Repeat after me: The vaccine is SAFE and EFFECTIVE. Breakthrough cases are RARE.

I am in the same situation—and laughing about it.
This too will pass—as long as they don’t suffer serious short or long term effects from the vaxx.
I can’t fix their lives for them.

It’s the fault of us unvaxed.

My understanding is that is based on a PROJECTION report for planning.
I was looking it over yesterday. It’s from Sept 2020.
However, if the CFR is about 2%, that makes it about 98% that survive.

Why are they bothering to bump them 2 days? What good is that?

I gather if you are literally writing it, you mean an equal with a forward slash thru it.
In programming or just to clearly denote it, we often used “<>”.
