Football Team at 85.5% vaccination rate
- Thread starter Poker_Tiger
- Start date
Didn’t Dabo say we were getting close to 100% the other day? Although I guess we are in the sense that 85 is closer to 100 than 50
Yeah, I really was expecting this number to be higher based on Dabo’s comments. I forgot to adjust for the eternal optimism factor.
Some of these walk-in got a few rounds of shots to get up over 85%
I hope our QB (DJ) is vaccinated . If he comes down with Corvid it changes everything . He is the only one we can't afford to lose for the Georgia game .
There could be numerous guys waiting on that second shot which would line up with getting close to 100%
But Will Taylor is a Doug Flutie clone. So we should be good to go. Unless a Dabo plans on redshirting him.
We need them to get it before the season starts because it can put you on your backside for a day or two. Idea NIL for Johnson and Johnson for the hold outs.
I would assume some of those who aren't vaccinated have already had Covid which would put the team really close to 100%
This notion of those with natural antibodies doesn't count as much as being vaccinated is silly and ignorant.
A study confirmed that natural infection is 13x more effective than the vaccine. When will those in power start following the science and stop discounting natural infection into any "herd immunity" situation?

You can still get covid even if your vaccinated. Although I don’t know how the testing works for them
Hoping we get to 100% soon though it sounds like we’ll run out of time before the season starts.
Putting football aside, here in Texas hospitalizations due to covid are up 1,200% since June 1 and severe cases are almost exclusively occurring in unvaccinated patients. In North Texas hospital region (DFW metroplex) there are exactly 2 available pediatric ICU beds (as of 3 days ago). Children are being airlifted to Oklahoma City just to find an available bed.
Seton Hospital in Austin have completely closed their operating rooms and have had to cancel multiple surgeries for cancer patients and heart patients, with one surgeon stating that he was not able to perform a needed emergency bypass on a heart patient that was having chest pains.
Last week, an assistant football coach at Allen High School (about 45 mins from me and where Chad Morris is the head coach) died from Covid. He was 56 and unvaccinated.
There is simply NO logical reason for any person to not be vaccinated.
According to CDC those who have been previously infected and are still unvaccinated are twice as likely to be reinfected that those who were infected and had the vaccine.

Not now.According to CDC those who have been previously infected and are still unvaccinated are twice as likely to be reinfected that those who were infected and had the vaccine.

That study is outdated and before delta started breaking through vaccines left and right.
Can you get reinfected after having Covid? Yes, of course, but vaccines do not provide better protection.
The testing aspect seems confusing. I was always under the impression that being vaxxed eliminated the testing. But I think that is not correct. Someone on here has to know the correct protocols set forth. Also this is why football needs to break away from the NCAA. All teams could set the rules/protocols which would be consistent across the board.
Hate to say it but what do you do with unvaccinated non scholarship, non-contributor players. They really just become liabilities for the entire team at this point.
The unvaccinated are a useless burden on society. They cost the American taxpayer $2 billion in the month of July. Their stupidity is destroying this country 1 unavailable hospital bed at a time.
If you are unvaccinated still, congrats on being a f**king mooch and burden on the rest of us. You’re no better than some welfare bum.
Ok. Assuming that is true and vaccines are not more effective against reinfection, the vaccine is unquestionably more effective at limiting the severity of the infection and the chances that you’ll die.
Vaccination status is THE most clear difference between those that are in the hospital and dying from Covid right now and those that are quarantining at home with mild symptoms from Covid right now.
Again, there is no logical reason for any person to not be vaccinated whether they’ve been infected before or not.
If it weren’t for the fact that they are clogging up our healthcare system and stopping other patients from getting care, I’d be fine with the evolutionary process happening right now. Survival of the fittest in real time.
Imagine getting in a car accident and your kid can’t get admitted to the ICU because some moron didn’t get a free vaccine to own the libs.
Veteran dies of treatable illness as COVID fills hospital beds, leaving doctors "playing musical chairs"
The surge in new COVID cases is putting an enormous strain on hospitals, jeopardizing patients who cannot get the medical attention they need because of a lack of space.

Congrats anti-vaxxers
Who’s it to say the vaccine would have helped that person? You dont know. The country is split down the middle on vaxxed vs non vaxxed. Its funny to me that non vaxxed sick people get pointed out as though if they would have gotten vaxxed they would be just fine and dandy.
I’m hoping this is a troll. This logic is so stupid that its hard to really wrap my mind around how one could make this argument seriously.
Are you actually suggesting that all of the people who have died from Covid over the last, say, 2 months would have died regardless of vaccination status and its just a pure coincidence that the one thing nearly all of them had in common was that they were unvaccinated?
It's not worth the effort. Just let the morons get sick and die. I'm done with it. They truly are choosig to die on this hill so that they don't have to admit that they were wrong. It's so damn frustrating.

Lisa Shaw: Vaccine role in BBC presenter's death to be probed
Lisa Shaw's family say the 44-year-old fell seriously ill days after having the AstraZeneca jab.

Could you provide the study highlighting that natural infection is 13x more effective than vaccination? I would like to read it.
Fully vaccinated might not count until two weeks after the second dose . Don’t know what the acc is counting as fully vaccinated
How can you consider yourself fully vaccinated if you haven’t had COVID booster shot #16?
I would tell you, Congrats on being a sheep and a burden on the rest of 🇺🇸
Good luck with that booster shot. It's not a "vaccine" by the way. Just be you, and quit trying to tell smarter people how they should live their lives.
You aren’t going to find anyone reasonable on here who disagrees with your take. Needles are sharp, they hurt and a lot of people have a rough time dealing with them.
The point is you only seem to be infected for a couple of days instead of weeks.
Let’s think like this. Get vaccinated and you could show positive on a Monday but they don’t test you except on Fridays so you might show Neg.
My question is even if you are vaccinated you can catch it and carry it/transmit it but shouldn’t show many symptoms. What is the protocol with both schools are at 100% do they let them play if someone test positive?
Congrats on being an uninformed burden on society. You are the problem
I’m pretty sure this is inaccurate. “The football team was”….hell they were at 85% when camp started (per Dabo). Weeks later he said “close to 100%.
Let's play anti-vaxxers bingo, how many of the following boxes do you check?
Types of COVID vaccine skeptics
Medical skepticism: You have people that are anti-vaxxers to start with. They are skeptical of the medical establishment or healthcare system and believe in alternative solutions like essential oils. People in this category aren't against the COVID vaccine, they are against all vaccines.
Religious fatalism: some people believe everything should be left in the hands of God. Whatever happens (good or bad) happens for a reason. Taking the vaccine is going against the will of God as humans are trying to game the system and go against fate. Some feel like God will protect them through it all (they're part of his favorites vs. the other ones that don't make the cut) or that if they do die, it was meant to be.
Government rejection: some reject this not because the fear the vaccine but because it feels like a violation of free will and government overreach. They feel like the government is meddling with their personal affairs by telling them how to deal with medical concerns. Some would probably choose to take the vaccine under different circumstances but not if it's the government asking.
Cost/benefit disagreement: some believe the shot is not worth taking through a combination of beliefs that COVID isn't a serious problem (only kills others, "not me") and that the vaccine hasn't been proven to be safe ("too risky").
Individualism: A variation around the prior group, this group believes it's not their problem or not worth the risk to try get the shot to reduce (using reduce on purpose, not eliminate) the risk of contagion to loved ones and others. The people that can't get the vaccine aren't their problem.
From your "sheep" comment, I would guess you at least hit the government rejection one. And your "smarter than you" comment is hilarious at best. 97% of doctors in the U.S. are vaccinated but you somehow are smarter than all of the people that do this for a living, all the doctors, all scientists with PhDs? This type of cognitive blindspot and bias is astonishing.
Sorry but your comments are part of a mindset issue that I want to address. If I had to guess based on your comments, you are part of the biggest group of hypocrites in American history, the one that found a like minded leader in Trump and his bumper sticker sized thoughts and 'Murica bravado. Let me introduce you to the concept of the Republican Jellyfish: spineless, heartless, brainless. It's a subset of the Republican party but seems to have taken over, to the chagrin of the reasonable branch of the Republican party. The party's soul is in the balance and the next few years will determine if the party will go back to reason and principles or not.
They are spineless and failed to stand up to grave attacks on our democracy like the hyperpoliticization of the Justice department by Trump, his flirtation with the alt-right (the dogwhistles and ambiguous comments to keep their votes), or bromance with Putin and North Korea (I can't imagine how many real Republicans turned in their grave...). They are also spineless and constantly play victimization games. I absolutely hate snowflakes and I cannot believe the Jellyfish have taken over that crown. All they talk about is how the world is against them and its not fair, it's a constant circle jerk they quite enjoy. They are heartless in how they gloat about the pain and suffering in others, anybody that is not a fellow Jellyfish. Wearing masks/socially distancing/getting vaccinated to protect loved ones and neighbors, or eww, society at large, are you kidding me? 4 people die and they'll Benghazi and politicize the shit out of the situation but 628,000 people die and who cares, right? Double standard much? (Personal note: anybody dying is a tragedy and what happened over there is horrible - just pointing out the magnitude difference in toll and reaction not matching magnitude) And they are brainless in that they believe in alternate facts and will believe anything as long as it supports their biased worldviews. They think that self-justification, the process of finding excuses for their beliefs, is a form of rational thinking, lol.
Republican Jellyfish are the type of people that will say that it's okay if a Black man has been shot dead by a cop "because he should have listened". But what if several of our unvaccinated players get COVID and can't play, and lo and behold, we lose a game (NC State baseball forfeit anyone?). Will they say "they should have listened to the ACC"? Heck no, they are going to raise hell about this "injustice," lol. To them, listening to authority is for others, not them. Rules are only good if they serve them.
Republican Jellyfish will constantly demonize the socialist policies of the left and are totally happy with letting society pay for their COVID hospital stays when they could have avoided those with a free vaccine. So, which is it? People should own the consequences of their actions or you need the rest of the country to pay for yours?
So, lol at your "sheep" and "smarter" comments. We are witnessing the dumbification of America, it's like watching the movie Idiocracy in slow motion. The people trusting their Aunts' medical advice on Facebook are calling the rest of us sheep and believe they are smarter. SMH...
Not sure who some of you are trying to convince to get or not get vaccinated. But some of you have posted your opinions over and over and over. Whose mind do you think you are changing?
Man, just let people die and get sick - what difference it make to you?
And if people want to get vaccinated for whatever reason - work, travel, health - then let em
You do you.

If that’s all that happened…they got sick and died, fine. But their stupidity actually affects others. Also, as a football fan, I don’t want to see our team lose again because of Covid
Well, someone who has underlying conditions and chooses to not get vaccinated and gets sick/dies……doesn’t affect others. Surely doesn’t affect me. Still not sure why we care.
People who get vaccinated don’t affect me either.
I don’t have the link but it was on the news yesterday that Israel did the study. I am vaccinated and I am not taking a side either way just telling you I heard it as well. Now that the FDA has approved one it is going to become mandatory to go into any big business. I am not saying it’s wrong or right but it’s coming
Unless those people clog up the ICUs and folks with less preventable issues don’t have access. Again, the filling up of hospitals with these bozos is what gets me. If you want to be unvaccinated, fine, but would you also commit to not going to the hospital if you get it? Of course you wouldn’t. And therein lies the inconsistency to me
