the NFL policy is retarded. What matters is whether or not you have antibodies against Sars or not. Time will prove that those who have antibodies against Covid from having covid and who have natural immunity will fare better than those who never had covid and got a vaccine to a specific amino acid sequence. Study after study has proven that masks have no impact in preventing the spread of the virus. It is a fact that the number of adverse events from this vaccine are greater than all other vaccines over the past 25 years combined. So, if someone doesn't want the vaccine, that's their prerogative. To believe that the vaccine protects one against the virus is moronic. 75% of the hospitalized patients in Singapore have been vaccinated. Over half those in Israel. There is a reason boosters are being rolled out now! Go ahead and yell and scream at me. I'm a doctor and I have worked for both Merck and Pfizer and I still have friends at both that I am constantly in contact with.
If I were managing any sports organization, then I would mandate all players and staff take Ivermectin prophylactically. It is an extremely safe drug, sold over the counter in Mexcio that both prevents and stops Covid. I took it when I had covid and was well in 4 days. There are over 60 randomized trials supporting its use, but because it is cheap as hell Big Pharma wants to quash it. Merck who is the developer of Ivermectin had the gall to question its safety although it won the Nobel Prize in 2015 and has been administered billions of times around the world with the highest of safety profiles. The reason why, Merck is about to launch a monoclonal antibody similar to Regeneron's that will cost over $3,500 a dose.
Today the Tokyo medical association, one of the most conservative medical organizations on the planet held a press conference to recommend Ivermectin stating the evidence is just too compelling.
TLDR: if you want to make this about keeping your players and team on the field, you are FAR better off putting them on prophylactic Ivermectin than mandating vaccines, don't blame me, it's the science speaking.
