To the extent that these so-called “vaccines” do anything they apparently increase the odds of being asymptomatic while doing nothing to prevent being contagious when sick.

Typhoid Mary jabs.

Allen just brilliant! Do they pay you for such wisdom? The common man in the street could tell you if a player is symptomatic they may have it due to the signs while players which are asymptomatic, ie showing no signs does not have it! Keep up the great work Allen, I see a future job in the Biden Administration for such bright people as yourself...... don’t call us, we’ll call you.....

Paging the NFL...

SARS-CoV-2 Transmission From People Without COVID-19 Symptoms

In this decision analytical model assessing multiple scenarios for the infectious period and the proportion of transmission from individuals who never have COVID-19 symptoms, transmission from asymptomatic individuals was estimated to account for more than half of all transmission.

Heh heh heh. This should be good..

He told ESPN that asymptomatic players are not responsible for the transmission of the disease from what he has observed this season.

Like the NHL, the NFL is highly vaxxed, yet is finding "covid" among an increasing number of its players. The ill-advised rules they fashionably implemented last year about both testing and isolation for players are now proving a real burden as scores of players are forced to sit out games. That could really affect game outcomes, make fans angry and hurt revenue

So they radically changed their covid rules - NOW only if you are symptomatic and positive, are you forced to sit-out.

This guy is just issuing the party line/propaganda for their new story.

Yup, but there's still some big names that aren't (Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Carson Wentz)

If you believe the "health authorities" and the White House, these guys will get severely ill or even die this winter

Anybody seriously believe that will happen?

THAT'S why the "health authorities" and the White House have no cred anymore

“why the “health authorities” and the White House have no cred anymore”

For me there hasn’t been any credibility since POTUS Trump left the Whitehouse

I bet 95% applied for, and were granted the Tuskegee exemption, and the NFL is involved in a conspiracy to conceal this.

Tom Brady measures his food by the gram. If he rolled up his sleeve I’ll eat my shoe.

I suspect a lot of notable people inside or even outside the NFL claim they got it but didn’t.

I’ve also suspected there is one shot for the masses and a different one for the elites.....but hey I’m probably just paranoid.

Science is not democratic nor is about majority consensus.
Science is and has always been about truth and ONE lone scientist can provide that despite the prevailing majority or consensus.

Many hundreds of years ago, the majority and consensus of the then prevailing scientists asserted vehemently that the Earth was flat and that the Earth was the center of the universe. ONE lone scientist proved them all wrong and called their BS. Just saying, as an example.
