What optics are worse, letting asymptomatic guys play or seeing games where teams barely have enough guys to suit up and the quality of the games suffering greatly? We're going to have scab game quality before we know it.

Yup if you test positive and you are vaccinated and asymptomatic than have at it.

The only other option is a vaccine mandate. It is also the more fair option. Most players are vaccinated and should not be subject to any of this. They happen to catch it and become symptomatic than they play when they are physically able like any other ailment.

This here aint working though. Cannot let the unvaccinated dictate the numbers. The end game of all the covid rules is for players not to become gravely ill or die , it isn’t a punishment for catching it. So take the unvaccinated out of the equation and there is nothing to worry about.

We can have 95 percent of players playing or 50 percent with this garbage.

The vac does not stop you from getting or giving covid. The number don't lie. The onl thing the vac does is protect the individuals health and that should be their choice.

Just not true and the numbers show the exact opposite.


The numbers show it helps to keep people asymptomatic. And when you are asymptomatic you are not coughing, sneezing, etc. In other words it helps prevent the spread.

It also does lower your chance of getting it and giving it. Here is a good article with a shitload of statistics.

If you are going to say otherwise and that the numbers do not lie I would like to see your sources.

Right off the cdc website….

Well aware of that. It is 470 people. Mass is a heavily vaccinated state, so it is not like unvaxxed people were spared - just that any group of 500 people will be mostly vaccinated in Mass. I will say the jj shot is less effective, not sure what they had. I am sure you will not find many cases like this.

Hey man there are exceptions to every rule, flip-sides to every coin, and no vaccinations are full proof, BUT, forgetting these 500 people- there are hundreds of millions throughout the world that show the exact opposite. It is just a numbers game. The overall and ongoing studies and numbers show a vastly different story than this incident in Mass does.

Also this was back in june or july I believe which is why they now recommend the booster. Which im sure would have reduced that number by quite a bit.

That article is not supporting the argument you think it does. With vaccine at 80% efficacy at the time and the population of Provincetown in the summer (ask Chico or Sunnyside about Bear Week, both of them know tons of info on odd things) 470 cases actually is low. In addition the article ends by saying there have been only 5,166 cases out of 4.3 million vaccinated for a rate of 0.1% which is far below the state average.
