NFL, in Major Shift, to Test Vaccinated Players Less Frequently
Epoch Times ^ | 12-19-21 | Jack Phillips

Posted on 12/19/2021 4:46:27 PM PST by dynachrome

The NFL loosened its COVID-19 protocols over the weekend as the league was forced to postpone several games due to a rise in cases, according to memos that were distributed to teams on Saturday.

The NFL and NFL Player’s Association (NFLPA) said the league would partake in a “more targeted testing plan” for COVID-19, the illness caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.

“The NFL and NFLPA have been engaged with our medical advisors to address the emergence of the new Omicron variant and how to stop the spread to ensure we keep everyone safe and complete the remainder of the season responsibly,” said the NFL and NFLPA a joint statement.

“The intensive protocols implemented last week and the rescheduling of three games were designed to stop the transmission of the virus and play this week’s games safely,” according to the statement. “After this weekend’s games, we have agreed to put into place a new set of protocols, which will include a more targeted testing plan, more flexibility for players to attend meetings virtually and also a high-risk player opt-out for the remainder of the season.”

It's embarrassing to have "vaccinated" people test positive for what they are supposed to be vaccinated against.

So the solution is to test them less. Brilliant!

Because their tests don’t work and they don’t want an Omicron cold labeled as Covid....

Wait until the mob gets its hands on a couple of docs or China Virus test administrators.

Then, championship game week, gee several star players “suddenly” test positive and have to be out for the game.

This is the easiest way in history to rig games.

The show must go on. Rescheduling three games this week puts a crimp in the schedule. Imagine how messed up the schedule will be if playoff games have to be postponed.

I’ll ignore the stupor bowl this time like I have since the mid 80s.

Pretty much the same on all sports, I haven’t cared in decades.

Aaron Rodgers won’t be out. He has natural immunity.

I can’t wait to not watch the game again

Last time was when the Colts beat Da Bears in ‘07

In fact, that’s the last time I watched any NFL game

Too many positive asymptomatic cases. If the the current aggressive screening program were to continue the playoffs and the Super Bowl were in jeopardy. The woke NFL owners would not tolerate the loss of all that money.

Because they can’t keep postponing games and the cases are about to go up.

Fits with a focus that the regime in our sector of the Oligarchy may be about to role out, which is to emphasize reducing the severity of cases, and not following case counts as much.

Which means, basically, forcing vaccination and instituting the VaxPass, which was probably priority #1 all along.

At the rate I am going, I might be through the whole boxed set of Mannix.

There is Danger Man after that.

I rip copies as I go. That takes a while. Those jobs run overnight.

It is good but not for the reason many people think, the reason they are not going to test vaccinated players is they are the ones showing up as positive since well over 90% of NFL players are vaccinated.
