I’m not sure why this an issue for anyone anymore

My family had covid last December. Sucked for a few days, but we survived. Wife and I and all the kids were vaccinated in the spring.

I get the politics of it all and there is no denying that covid was skillfully played as a political football. But I have a great job and my employer gets vaccinated, I’m willing to be part of the experiment.

So if I’m a college athlete, and I want to play, I’m not sure why anyone would not get vaccinated. Yeah, I get the fact the vaccines aren’t fully approved by the FDA yet. But millions of people have received these shots and they have been safe overall

Can you imagine the blowback this fall if a team loses a game because it has unvaccinated players out that got sick with covid-19?

Of course how many kids in college last year haven’t already been infected by covid? I’m sure there are some.

Bottom line, wide covid-19 outbreaks in the fall of 2021 shouldn’t be a problem. Now all the other latent viruses out there, they might be an issue. But I’m done with covid, even delta variants.

Risk reward. Very few teenagers or early twenty folks -- fordham 07/20/2021 08:53AM

Those who get it can spread it to others who are more at risk. ** -- NMB Hokie 07/21/2021 4:42PM

Vaccinated people are testing positive for COVID too -- Apex-Hokie 07/20/2021 08:27AM

Sure, just like folks can still get the flu when vaccinated -- HokieToph 07/20/2021 11:18AM

There are more health reasons then just pregnancy -- fordham 07/20/2021 12:03PM

You are correct, but a positive test will still require players to sit out. -- Apex-Hokie 07/20/2021 11:56AM

Better chance to get a negative test with vax then not -- VaTechHokiesACC 07/20/2021 7:41PM

Yep. I bet a whole bunch of us test positive if -- fordham 07/20/2021 08:51AM

The NCAA needs a "Covid Portal" -- Maroon Baboon 07/19/2021 7:05PM

The only thing the "ncaa" needs is a cyanide pill. Pronto. ** -- seacain 07/19/2021 7:42PM
