Ron Rivera said yesterday that he was encouraged by improved vaccination rates on WFT. Source says now 84% of WFT players have received at least one vaccination shot. They opened camp at around 60%

Nice news..

Sheehan said D Payne was fined for not wearing a mask in clubhouse/lockerroom area

Will be interesting to see after cuts where the numbers/% will be. That’s where it matters

This is a good point that frankly I hadn't considered. I think if anything it will be worse once we get down to 53, meaning the guys who are still unvaccinated as of today are probably the ones who feel comfortable that they'll make the 53.

Despite what Ron says, if I'm a bottom of the roster guy and I'm scrapping and clawing to try to make the 53 or the practice squad, I'm not going to give them a reason to cut me and I'll go get vaccinated.

But if I make $4M and I'm definitely on the 53 no matter what, I might be more inclined to stand on my personal principles.

I read an article recently where Rivera was praising Cosmi also. Dude is serious athletic for a tackle. Going against Sweat/Young is crazy every day in practice. Cosmi has serious potential. We could have a stud here.

Does anyone know whether the practice squad is counted once the season begins?

84% of 90 would be 14 players unvaccinated. If all 14 are on the 53, which does make sense like Schneed points out here, then we are at about 73.6%. But if practice squad counts we are at 79.7% or 4 more players vaxxed to meet the 85%.

Great question I assume it counts, because they're in your building.

Good math, agree that if it counts, and if all the unvaccinated are making either the team or the practice squad, then they'd need 4 more to get to the 85%.

Another Covid issue is the international games. The teams playing outside the US are going to have to have their ducks in a row, and players will have to be vaccinated to travel to England. My mom just got told she couldn't get on a plane to come back to the US because she needed an updated test result. ( she is vaccinated and was only in Germany for 3 weeks)

What a mess that could be.

I guess the NFL could get adapted protocols (like allowed to go in and out of the UK but full bubble style no going out during the trip), the same way Japan adapted the rules for athletes and people working for the Olympics.

I'm not sure what a "vaccine denier" is, but I think he's referring to individuals who are disseminating or circulating false or uncorroborated information about the vaccine. I don't think he's referring to individuals who are hesitant to get it, those who do not want to get it, or those who are advised not to get it - for various reasons.

You're putting way too much analysis into something I didn't put that much thought into.

You're real quick to defend those with legitimate concerns about the vaccine, when in reality we both know he's referring to those who get their news from entertainment companies. The ones who lead every statement on tv with "I'm not a doctor and have no credentials, but the vaccine seems very suspect to me." The ones who trust their friends on social media, but not their personal doctors. Is that more concise?

That wasn't really analysis. I just wasn't sure what you meant by vaccine denier, and thought you might be pointing the finger at the wrong set of people. You're right though, I am willing to "defend" those with legitimate concerns about the vaccine; but I'm equally willing to defend those with legitimate concerns about others not getting the vaccine. I actually respect both decisions.

Yes … they can , I am recovering from covid .. day 22 after symptoms ( got tested) anyway I did not take vaccine .. mistake , I’m 62 perfect health ( I race dirt bikes ... so my point is I go to my Dr regular and for my age Im good ..this virus kicked me hard .. my wife got the vaccine months ago came down with covid days after I got it … tested positive, her symptoms were way less than mine and her recovery seems like it will be much shorter .. what is confusing is depending on who you ask is now that I have had covid am I immune and for how long ?? For every expert that’s says I’m good there is another that says I need vaccine.. So UNTIL the experts can at least agree on this ( don’t get me started on the cheap mask / improperly wore thing) .. yea the n95 mask will work but the ultra cheap or cloth face pull up offers very little in protection) social distancing is far better ( I Caught mine at a bar/club with way more people inside that should have been .. 20 plus cases as result ! ( not agian .. I was foolish to attend ) I’m hoping that the vaccine will stop this ..this is so much misinformation out there on the internet .. social media maybe the cause of more pain and suffering than just about anything .. it certainly has divided us even on health issues … stay safe

There's many, many other cases where vaccinated people have died from Covid. Once again, there's thousands upon thousands who are enduring adverse effects from the vaccine and quite a few thousand who has died from it.

I'm also glad to hear you and your wife are doing much better. That's certainly good to hear!

Those cloth masks many are wearing doesn't protect anyone. If anything, wearing it too long will more than likely cause someone to get ill.

Yes, I agree, this is partially about divide and conquer. Be well!

I think this season will be an interesting experiment in regards to the vaccine and virus. I think I'm correct in saying that vaccinated players will not get tested regularly if at all, but just like us here in the real world, you can still contract the virus and/or variant. So we'll get to see if any vaccinated players still get the virus AND miss time for it if they become ill.

Right now vaccinated players are tested every 14 days vs every day for unvaccinated, but they may start testing more often

You're factually incorrect all over the place here, dumbass.

Approximately 1500 people have died from COVID, despite receiving the vaccine. Out of over 100M people who have received the vaccine. That's a success rate.

The masks do offer protection. Best explanation I've seen, if you walk around nude, and someone pisses on you, you'll get wet. If you walk around with pants on, and someone pisses on you, you'll still get wet, but not as bad. And if you walk around with pants on, and some guy walks up to you with pants on and tries to piss on you, his piss stays in his pants and you don't get wet.

Nobody has actually died from the vaccine itself, that's baloney you read on social media.

I never understood the reduced testing. The risk that a person gets Covid from transmission (regardless of vaccination status) is high enough that for a high contact sport like football, daily testing just makes sense.
