Considering how may people have actually died of this, or are suffering long term effects of it, someone calling a professional athlete a loser doesn't seem like a very big deal. Its not a big deal I just find it a bit pathetic how people on this forum throw insults out left right and centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha. I have a pretty high threshold for name calling, especially with the anti-vax crowd. A friend of mine who is younger than I am had oral cancer last year and had to have the surgery to remove it delayed by months. In that time it could have spread elsewhere. She needed another procedure last month to remove part of the same mass and due to rising cases they almost had to push her back again. This time that rise in cases is preventable. Anyone not getting the vaccine is helping to create these situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd call that (not personally getting it vs being vociferously anti-vax) a distinction without a difference. Vaccines depend on herd immunity to minimize community spread.

They blithely party 'round and 'round, contracting, spreading, making other people sick, making fewer and fewer health resources available for those who don't behave this way. A friend's band in Austin had to let go their drummer, and he's very very very upset about it. He refused to get vaccinated or wear a mask. They put up with it as long as their gigs were few and far between outdoors, but now that winter's coming on, they cannot afford him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally true know one knows their reasons, but I'm going to guess you also have the same lack of knowledge into why someone remaining unvaccinated would bother someone else. I'm guessing it's not always about superiority. It might have something to do with not perpetuating or making worse a pandemic we've all been dealing with for a year and a half.

Or more than 600,000 of my countrymen are dead, we’re about to break 700,000, and yet people still refuse to get a free vaccine to help slow down this virus.

You just want to act superior. It is an objective fact that people who don't get vaccinated are increasing the danger to others because of the increased risk of passing it on and also the increased chance they will get sick and further overload already overstretched resources - unless they live in total isolation, and while as a millionaire he does not have to work, I bet he is not cleaning his own house, washing his own clothes or cooking all his own meals, even if he is trying to self isolate. Similarly, while it is conceivable that some personal circumstance might prevent him getting vaccinated, then it would seem only sociable for him to declare it, so as to avoid the risk of other people using him as an example and following his lead. Not to mention that if there was such a reason then they might consider making an exception and allowing him to play anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorral Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Superior to what exactly am I thinking? Unless you mean I feel superior to those who refuse to be vaccinated? Well, no, I don't. I just want them to eff off and die alone, far far far from others and be cremated asap without mourners. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Why yes, the athletes of national basketball and football and so on and so forth are notorious for staying at home quietly at all times except when playing on the floor or the arena. They seldom or never have been seen gathering in large noisy groups in very pricey nightspots where they can be worshipped from afar while partying as hearty as ... as ... as ... um other celebrities.
