well, i don't like and never have liked his holier than thou attitude, this year it just intensified. I really hope the NFL comes down hard on him in suspensions. Let the Love era begin

If he's unvaccinated, this obviously doesn't affect only him, and he's a selfish prick. End of story.

Rogers was asked if he was VACCINATED. The first word out of his mouth was 'yeah'.....

An honest answer would have been 'No, I haven't been vaccinated but I've been immunized' (or whatever his alternative to getting the vaccine was.

Q. Are you vaccinated.

A. Yes. I'm immunized.

That's a LIE. He lied to the press. He lied to the world. Now he's being skewered. It is delicious.

Normally Karma takes time. This was instant. If you want a good laugh take a look at Shailene Woodley over on twitter...

There are no "alternate treatments' None. You either get covid or you get vaccinated.

One's chances of contracting COVID are 8X higher when not vaccinated. (Fact). Additionally, someone who's contracted the virus (then) carry a much higher viral load when they sneeze or breathe on others...making others more at risk of contracting the virus and spreading it on...and on..and on.

He lied with his words and with his actions.

If a person don't have anything constructive to say (or based on data, intelligence, or citing/referencing verifiable information), that person resorts to name calling or some other tactic to try to cover up their lack of supporting evidence for their position (i.e. 'big word hurt your brain'...'sound like a jackass'...etc.). Thank you for basically stating what evidence you use to support your position.

Let's face it. He knowingly lied (maybe technically he thinks he didn't), but he lied. For any other person, it would be hard to face that locker room, but he is apparently so full of himself, he'll just strut on in like the ho's in Times Square.

You only cry “sexist” because we understand that Shailene identifies as a female. If Dobber had described her as “partner” would that ease your angst? If so you are missing the point, and the laugh at elitist quackery.

It’s not sexist to poke fun at a specific individual on the grounds of influence on a spouse or partner since it is that bond and not the gender that is the target. It’s often baseless to assume such influence, but in this case was both pertinent and funny.

Conversely, it’s very much not funny to go around accusing people of “isms” or being “ists” just because you don’t like what they say. More so if you can’t even evidence an understanding of how your chosen term is relevant. Come down from your pillar lest you find it wax built on nothing but air.

Tired of misappropriated labels used as a substitute for reason or point. Good one Dobber.

"high colonic" -- I wish I'd chosen that language...

It similar to my granola friend at the "health food" store working the cash register with a misting machine making believe vaporized H2O can deter, diffuse and diminish a Viral Agent capable of surving extremes of heat and cold. I asked her if she wanted a N95 for Solstice ??

Thank you smmelbs. #relaxedsphincter

Is that where the term 'fart blossom' came from? ~;-))

Winner!

No. You should not be allowed to choose the lavender enema, because the smell will affect others, and they might be allergic to lavender

Or maybe the government should mandate lavender enemas for everyone, on grounds of public health.

Speaking of stock, did you hear Pfizer declare a $29 Billion profit?

How did that work for Adams & Barry then?

They are definitely connected. His LIE about being vaccinated may well cost us one, if not two, games. If this was only affecting him and Shailene I wouldn't give a shit, but he's fucking over 55+ other guys. Yes, he let the organization town, he let the teammates he supposedly "loves" down, he let the city of Green Bay down. and he let every Packers fan everywhere down.

But he is too "cool" with his man bun to get Covid. Covid runs away from him and hides because he's so cool.

Agreed. I am a fan of probabilities. It appears to me that AR's decision to not get vaccinated with one of the approved vaccines increased the chances that he would be unavailable for a game, that he would contract Covid himself, and increased the chances that someone else on or associated with the team, regardless of whether they were vaccinated, might contract Covid.

As to whether he lied, it is similar to what every Politician and Press Secretary has done since time immemorial: he rephrased the question with the intent to convey an impression that is inaccurate. The best politicians and press secretaries manage to be sufficiently subtle that people who hold diametrically opposed opinions to each other both think the politician agrees with them.

I do disagree with you in part: I think 8 games with AR starting is better than whatever number of games with Love starting. It is true that AR will miss one game, and I'd suggest that the odds of AR missing the Seattle game are pretty good. It is possible that he misses even more games, and not impossible that he misses the rest of the season.

So, that begs the question: knowing all the facts back in August, would I have done anything differently than what the front office did with AR (and the front office - Murphy, Gute and LaFleur all knew)? No. So, give AR some of the credit for going 7-1 without exonerating him.

BTW: every one of the other 68 players must have known AR was not vaccinated since he apparently followed protocols for the un-vaccinated, and those are painfully obvious. So I guess GB doesn't have a single whistle-blower. And the FO chose not to "correct" or "clarify" AR's statement, either publicly or in private warnings to parties who might be affected, such as members of the media. I imagine doing so would have inserted considerable acrimony between the two sides. To me, that's an interesting moral dilemma. Yes, very likely the FO was prohibited from commenting or clarifying AR's statement.

Nonsense. Almost every doctor I know has been vaccinated. The only fools rejecting it are those buying the BS from people profiting on YouTube by spreading lies.

You're absolutely right. I will guarantee all of those balking at the COVID vaccine in the medical profession have been vaccinated as required per employment for Hepatitis A, B and C. Guaranteed. At the very least.

Those were mandated back when I was an RT 1983-1997. Was the vaccine politicized or not? Yes or no? Delta cares not for political affiliation nor one's given profession. There's your answer.

Non-compliance has allowed this variant and others to mutate further. Getting the vaccine reduces mortality.

That's the last I'll say on it.

LH---small pox, TB...on and on. Has individuality gone amuck? The commenters on this site have participated and/or understand the great importance of team work yet some cannot assimilate it to our society and put materialistic, political, and individuality ahead of the common good. SAD

This is a country of 300 million people, and every profession has its oddballs. Sometimes they are ahead of their time. Sometimes they are truthtellers. Most of the time, they are dumb as rocks, attention seekers, or just plain nuts.

The reality with vaccines Leatherhead is that historically they've taken years-to-decades to develop and pass approval tests - and some of these tests are longitudinal study tests (i.e. years long tests) for adverse reactions. So that's red flag 1 for some.

The second (and I'll apologize for getting long winded here) -

is that traditional vaccines used what's called an Adenovirus host - basically an inert viral host that gets altered to look similarly to the target virus in order to trick our immune systems into developing the antibodies in anticipation of an infection. Most of the current crop of COVID vaccines don't use this old (and increasingly less effective) method, they use Messenger RNA technology to straight up trick our body into producing the antibodies - no initial threat required to trigger the inflammatory and immune responses. M-RNA technology was still experimental in 2019, and at that time, the trajectory for its clinical application was up to decade(s) away with the current standards for testing. Need (and money) fast-tracked this development and testing........ so criticism\concern 2 for some is that none of these longitudinal studies have been able to be done to find the unintended consequences (and there are always some).

Regarding Doctors: Like players in the NFL, they too are predominantly specialists in their professions. For me, I'm keen to hear vaccine commentary from specialist Immunologists, Respiratory Physicians or perhaps Hematologists.... the ones that specialize in the systems of the body that are most affected by the vaccine........ and even then, I'll assess who they are, where they studied, what papers they've previously written and where those papers were published (last point being really important - work published in the New England Journal of Medicine is highly prestigious and heavily peer scrutinized before publications...... No quacks allowed!)

So like GG further up the thread, I'll acknowledge that a football fan site is not a typical forum to dispense such information. I post as a Packers supporter wishing the best for fellow Packers fans here (well, all fans and people really). It's not my intention to say if people should get vaccinated or not, but hope that this information will help people do their own research and make their own choices.

They are bible thumpers, right?

"many medical professionals" is misleading. Either you are misinformed or deliberately telling falsehoods.

I am a hospital based specialist and at my hospital over 97% MD's are vaccinated and we are looking forward to getting a booster shot soon. In my specialty 100% vaccinated in my hospital (that is 37 out of 37 Anesthesiologists).

I don't have data on the entire country or planet. But there are probably several hundred thousand practicing MD's in the USA. So even if only 3% decide to be anti-vaxers, that means you can find thousands of MD's to support an anti-vax point of view.

Of course that means you are ignoring the hundreds of thousands of MD's who disagree with you.

The overwhelming majority of medical professionals are vaccinated. There are always some, but those people have essentially been managed out, particularly in post acute settings, especially Home Care.

Also, Fox News employees are MANDATED to be vaccinated. All of them. Even Hosts who get on every night and spread disinformation about vaccines, are they themselves vaccinated.

I know it's difficult for you, but try and stay on topic.

And your silly name calling just shows how immature you are.

...and there it is.

I was a fan of "cluster formation" myself...

So, are you telling me that if he'd taken one of the vaccines he wouldn't have tested positive for the Wuhan Virus? I was under the impression that even people who've been vaccinated can get the virus.

Pretty sure it wasn't the pro-roofie/rape crowd. The word "firearm(s)" tends to be a, um, trigger for the message board crowd. Most likely our resident speed readers skimmed the post and felt their 2nd Amendment rights were being threatened.

So, it's OK with you if the Government incentivizes companies to do things that the Constitution won't permit the Government to do? That doesn't seem like going through the backdoor?

OK. I'm a private company. What can I force you do? Can I fire you for what you do at home, on your own time? For what you might say on social media? For standing up at a school board meeting and saying something I don't like?

Can I require that you maintain an appropriate body mass index? Can I insist that you be 30 pounds overweight? Can I insist that you smoke, or not smoke?

You are much too eager, IMO, to hand control of your life over to people who do not have your best interests at heart. Companies are full of the same corrupt, powerhungry, overreaching, dishonest people are in politics. Don't give them the power to run our lives.

All good examples of vaccinations that worked. My parents chose to have me vaccinated against some of them when I was young.
