NFL: Get Booster Shot Or You’re Fired

According to the NFL, vaccinating all of their workers will fix their problems. It may even make COVID cases disappear. Yesterday’s positive test result for the NFL was 37. This is because the numbers are based on the results of vaccinated personnel and players, who get tested only once per week. Ironic that vaccinated team personnel is still showing multiple cases of getting sick with COVID; it’s almost like the vaccine does not work as advertised.

But enough with the right-winged conspiracy talk, let’s talk about how the guardians of society in the NFL are handling the situation.

By December 27, all Tier 1 and Tier 2 personnel – Tier 1 meaning anyone who comes into contact with players, and Tier 2 meaning everyone else – must get a booster shot to continue to have a job with their respective teams (the players are not required to get a booster shot…yet).

“If Tier 1 and 2 staff do not comply with the new booster mandate, those employees will lose their vaccination status which is a requirement by the NFL, according to the NFL’s memo.

As usual, the NFL has failed to address a significant issue.

NFL could have learned from this experience: Vaccination does not guarantee ultimate safety. Although it may reduce the incidence of the disease and offer some comfort, this does not address the fundamental problem of having to live with COVID.

Injecting booster shots won’t take it away and firing “un-boosted” employees won’t solve the problem, just ask the 37 people whose Mondays got off to a worse start than most of ours. We live in a COVID world now, and we have to stop acting like it’s a disease we know nothing about and that savagely destroys the majority of our country’s population.

But unfortunately, based on their track record, the NFL probably won’t see it that way.
