The NFL has a full-blown COVID crisis, at a time when many have become numb to the realities of the ongoing pandemic.
Via Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, a total of 75 players have tested positive in the last two days. Seventy. Five.
It’s the highest two-day total since the pandemic began. And while it’s not nearly enough to cause the NFL to cancel games or pause the season (neither will be happening), it’s cause for concern as to where things may lead if the league doesn’t get things under control, quickly.
From the NFL reporting a single-day high in cases, to the NHL’s Calgary Flames forced to postpone three games and the Chicago Bulls postponing two games after 10 players entered COVID-19 protocols, every active league is seeing its regular season – and, in the NFL’s case, playoff push – imperiled by the pandemic.
Tuesday marked the first anniversary since a New York critical-care nurse became one of the first Americans to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, and in the 12 months since, sports leagues re-wrote safety protocols and urged their players to get vaccinated once they became widely available last spring.
Entering the teeth of this winter, the effort was largely a success: The NFL reports nearly 95% of its players vaccinated, the NHL has just one unvaccinated holdout and the NBA also exceeds 97%, despite high-profile holdouts such as Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving and Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi.
Yet the past week has resulted in more postponements and players in protocol than even navigating through an unvaccinated 2020-21 winter.
How does this make any sense? I thought Science! was suppose to make sense.
Some of the healthiest men on the planet have been forced to take injections on the premise that the injections would prevent them from getting sick and enable them to play sportsball uninterruptedly.
However, there are more players testing positive for COVID now than before a vaccine even existed.
How does the Science! explain that?
How do the people who are forcing others to take injections just so they can work justify their actions?
From a logical perspective, the only leg the injection-tyrants have to stand on is the, "yea, the vax doesn't actually prevent people from getting sick, it just keeps people from dying. And it makes you a good person."
Have the injections prevented any of these athletes from dying?
If the injections don't prevent athletes from contacting COVID, nor do they keep athletes from dying from COVID, what exactly is the point of forcing them to take injections?
Obviously, sportsball players are paid to run fast with a ball and not for their cognitive abilities. But certainly a couple of them have to be scratching their heads and saying: "Hold up. I thought you said if I take this shot that I wouldn't get sick and we could just play ball. I didn't want to get that damn shot anyway."
People need to understand that Science! is a religion. Belief systems all require faith. When faith generates cognitive dissonance, people begin to doubt.
