Anyway, the NFL says he doesn't have to stay away from the team, he just has to follow different rules than those that are vaccinated. Just like Aaron Rodgers, who seemingly gets a pass because of who he is and what he means to his team. I'm sure if Aaron Rodgers was on this team, the tune a lot of people are singing in here would be different.

I'm going to disagree with you on Rodgers. The Packers media has hung him in effigy in regards to his "i'm immunized" statement, putting the press at risk due to his actions and costing them the one seed in the NFC due to losing a game they would have won with him at QB (of course Arizona helped them out with that yesterday).

Yeah, I never mentioned the Packers media. I'm talking about what's going on in here, and the fact that we wouldn't be having the Sweat conversation if it was Rodgers in his place.

Anyway, they won three out of their last four since all that went down and you don't hear about his vaccination status anymore do you?

You know how they say the best ability is availability, well by not getting vaccinated Sweat put his availability in jeopardy, and here we are. It's not about blaming him, it's just the reality of the situation. We needed all hands on deck against Dallas. Very frustrating all around.

Sweat needs to have a big year next year or gotta strong feeling it’s gonna be adios from Ron

Just my feeling…and I think it is about accountability at this point. I got zero problem pointing a fucking finger when Sweat told everybody over the summer “I don’t need to get vaccinated cause I haven’t got covid yet” . Sorry you give me a window to look in to see how you reason shit out then that’s on u when there are consequences. IMO Sweat got some splaing to do

Right. Someone needs to revisit that statement with him.

Being vaccinated doesn't seem to help.

It helps keep people out of the hospital and off ventilators. So yeah, it helps lessen the severity.

Helped me and my daughter avoid it altogether. My wife had it, and we didn’t. Small house. One bathroom. Sharing utensils (obviously washed but…). If we were not vaccinated there is no doubt we would have caught it.

Yeah, it appears to help. My wife, my son, and I were all fully vaccinated, and my daughter was between doses when my wife caught it. She had some minor symptoms for a couple days, with all of us going about our normal business thinking it was just allergies again. Then she noticed she lost her sense of taste/smell, and decided to take a home test - and sure enough... She isolated after that, but we were all exposed for at least two days and neither me nor my kids ever had any symptoms...I suppose we could have had it, but we didn't get tested.

Ironically it was right at the six-month mark from her 2nd dose, which I think is the time frame they want you to get a booster.

Sweat's answer was beyond dumb, but he also seemed ill prepared to answer the question. Which is also dumb because he should have known he would be asked about it, instead he came off like a total dope. Maybe he just is, who knows.

Personally I liked how Ron brought in Dr. Corbett, who was integral in creating the Moderna vaccine, to have her explain how vaccines and viruses work to the team and he said "I need to research more facts" That just showed how blatantly dumb he is to me.

Not here you are right and while fans have moved on the Packers podcasts and media are still bringing it up

[GridIron26]

Seems like NFL teams are experiencing the COVID breakouts as there are now multiple players across NFL are being placed on the COVID list. Maybe we will get to see some replacements games!

[Fishingfool]

It might.
