So, does that mean that you know about my vaccination status too? Face facts, you don't know anything about whether or not he has been vaccinated. But it must be fun to act like you do. To be fair to Eazy, the stuff you list there does mean that statistically you're more likely to be anti vax, that's just playing the percentages not saying I know you personally. Amazon doesn't know you and your consumer preferences personally but it's algorithms can make crazy accurate guesses based on the number of Ted Nugent you tube videos you watched.

I was just making a joke about the Ted Nugent videos, but you can do a search on the politics of anti Vax and there has been a documented shift from Anti Vax being largely the province of hippy left wing whole Earth moms and ill informed Hollywood types towards the right wing and particularly anti big government constitutional originalist militia types, those are broad brush categories, but I don't think it's that controversial to say that people who describe themselves as pro gun rights tend towards the political right and an interpretation of the constitution as a carving in stone rather than a living document.

Well, personally, I am not one to judge by the whole. Vaccinations, especially this one, is a personal decision, not a group one. So, individuals within each demographic will be making a decision about their vaccination status on an individual basis. Otherwise, you've now got to lump DeAndre Hopkins in with the right win, pro-gun types, as he's already said on Twitter that he might consider retirement rather than getting vaccinated. I see that as an individual decision, not a group one. But, if we are judging by the group, then it needs to be applied across all regions of the NFL spectrum and not localized on a single individual with whom certain people have an ax to grind.

toolg Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Is Wentz vaccinated? I won't assume he is: If he is vaccinated, why won't he convince his teammates to get it? Wentz contracting COVID midseason, missing several games, resulting in the Colts giving up a 2nd Round pick instead of a First.... would be the most Eagles thing to happen, ever.

I believe the answer is in the quote... "its a personal decision". Personally, I won't tell others to get the vaccine or not to get the vaccine. That's not my job. I got it.

NFL came out pretty clear on this - If there is an outbreak among unvaccinated players and games are cancelled, games will be forfeited and players aren't getting paid. As a leader on the team, I'd say: look at me, I'm vaccinated, I'm ready to play, and encourage everybody on the team to get the vaccinated. If you don't get it, you aren't seriously trying to win. But maybe that's just me, idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe that's just me, idk. It's a choice. And everyone gets to make the choice for themselves. I have been told by my employer that 'disciplinary actions' would be taken if an unvaccinated person causes any kind of massive quarantine situation. But, they have not, nor can they at this time mandate us to be vaccinated. I am, but I will not force it on someone else, nor will I treat them like second class citizens if they choose NOT to get vaccinated. And for him to say, "its a personal decision", he validates both those that did and those that did not. Sure... they could put pressure on those that don't, but is that helpful in trying to bring the team together? Is that seriously trying to win, or does that just divide a locker room?

Guest Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 When you listen to the entire quote, I take it is that he does not want to make himself better than others for being vaccinated as it is a personal decision.

You can respect others personal choices, while in public endorsing those who are getting vaccinated. In the locker room I would make it known support my teammates no matter what. Respect goes both ways, teammates should respect my public opinions too... It seems like a trivial issue to divide a team, to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sack that QB Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 One thing this situation has exposed is the thirst to virtue signal is real. People both in and out of the media will unprofessionally run with that quote as "evidence" he wasn't vaccinated, when the reality is no one knows. Just because people are foaming at the mouth to show the world how "on board" they are for internet clout. It's embarrassing. It's the organization's business whether or not a guy is vaccinated. The media? They can ask, but no player has the obligation to tell anyone if they don't feel like it. If it were me, I'd not tell the media just to F with them even if I was vaccinated. If nothing else, it would expose those reporting in good faith, and those who would jump to conclusions and start trashing out of pure assumptions.
