Bears TE Graham: Felt 'forced' to get vaccine

by: Jeff Dickerson, ESPN Staff Writer —NFL Nation: Chicago Bears10m

Bears tight end Jimmy Graham took to social media to express confusion over the NFLPA's proposal to increase the frequency of COVID-19 testing for vaccinated players and staff.

 

 

 

In a later tweet, Graham added, "I've done everything I've been asked and now I feel like I'm being punished. If I miss a test that you are proposing every day I'll be fined a max 150K! How does this make sense. How's the punishment 100X worse than last year and I'm vaccinated now?"

 

obviously,  Jimmy is not following the Science!

50% more contagious?

what happened to 200x more transmissible?

deadliest plague of all time

 

 

 

No one died in the Provincetown’s outbreak. Not one person. And only 7 were hospitalized. 7. SEVEN. seven.

Michigan hospital ends relationship with Kirk Cousins after anti-vaccination remarks

by: Doug Farrar —USA Today: Touchdown Wire1h

Michigan’s Holland Hospital has ended its relationship with Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins after Cousins’ anti-vaccination remarks.

 

 

 

You know what he said ?

 

“I think the vaccination decision is a private. very private health matter for me,” Cousins said, on the same day he was placed back on the active roster from the Reserve/COVID list after close contact with backup quarterback Kellen Mond, who had tested positive. “I’m going to keep it as such. I do believe as a leader of the team, it’s very important to follow the protocols and avoid this close contact, because that is what it’s going to come down to — did you have a close contact? So, I’m going to be vigilant about avoiding a close contact.

 

 

 

OH, the horror.

any guess as to the money raised and goodwill generated by Cousins for his home town hospital?

can not challenge the narrative

good news for Beas

1st 2 jabs do nothing to induce the immune system to eliminate Delta.

seems all the jabbed are carriers & spreaders

 

too bad the the 2019 covid version burned it self out, or the jabs being pushed so hard would have some value.

32 vaxxed test positive

more than unvaxxed?

The NFLPA released a statement to its players indicating that vaccinated members would still require testing since “Vaccinated players can both contract and spread the Delta variant,” which is further proof that the initial dialog regarding the vaccines was anything but transparent.

 

The announcement also detailed that 32 vaccinated players have tested positive for Covid since the start of training camp.

 

With ongoing COVID testing, vaccinated players will be subject to quarantining away from the team’s activities, if tested positive, which is no different than the ruling for unvaccinated players.

no revelation that the PCR test has been implemented as a weapon of mass destruction to manufacture the covid pandemic 

however, did not now that the possibilities for abuse were known since at least 2007 

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/covid-testing-weve-been-duped

 

During a considerably quieter time, back in 2007, the New York Times featured a very interesting exposé on molecular diagnostic testing — specifically, the inadequacy of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test in achieving reliable results.

 

The most significant concern highlighted in the Times report is how molecular tests, most notably the PCR, are highly sensitive and prone to false positives.  At the center of the controversy was a potential outbreak in a hospital in New Hampshire that proved to be nothing more than "ordinary respiratory diseases like the common cold."  Unfortunately, the results wrought by the PCR told a different story. 

 

Thankfully, a faux epidemic was avoided but not before thousands of workers were furloughed and given antibiotics and ultimately a vaccine, and hospital beds (including some in intensive care) were taken out of commission.  Eight months later, what was thought to be an epidemic was deemed a non-malicious hoax.  The culprit?  According to "epidemiologists and infectious disease specialists ... too much faith in a quick and highly sensitive molecular test .. led them astray."  At the time, such tests were "coming into increasing use" as maybe "the only way to get a quick answer in diagnosing diseases like ... SARS, and deciding whether an epidemic is under way."

 

 

"The PCR test amplifies genetic matter from the virus in cycles; the fewer cycles required, the greater the amount of virus, or viral load, in the sample . .. the more likely the patient is to be contagious."

Unfortunately, the "cycle threshold" has been ramped up.  What happens when it's ramped up?  Basically, "huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus" are deemed infected.  However, the severity of the infection is never quantified, which essentially amounts to a false positive.  Their level of contagion is essentially nil.

Looks like the vaccine being pushed by the CDC and NFL  does not improve the safety from that of unvaxxed players.

The booster shot, though , will do the trick.

For sure. For real this time. No kidding.

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/data-suggests-vaccines-make-limited-difference-infectiousness-delta-variant-phe

 

Vaccinated people infected with the Delta variant, may be as infectious as their unvaccinated counterparts, early analysis from Public Health England (PHE) suggests.

 

This coincides with a recent study from the United States, where similar results were observed in Wisconsin.

 

The preprint of the study, which is not yet peer-reviewed, said “no difference in viral loads” was found when comparing unvaccinated individuals to those who have vaccine “breakthrough” infections, and that “individuals with vaccine breakthrough infections frequently test positive with viral loads consistent with the ability to shed infectious viruses.”

could not find anything to confirm he was sick the 2nd time

looks like another form of bogus positive test ressult

 

as noted below, the 2nd positive test could have been triggered by any coronvirus, including the common cold.

The first time Jackson contracted COVID-19, he said he felt flu-like symptoms, and lost his sense of taste and smell. He felt fatigued, and slept frequently, he told reporters.

 

But Adalja said reinfection with other coronaviruses — some of which manifest as common colds — is common after about a year. COVID-19 is probably no different, he said.

People will eventually “get it”.  Stop testing, stop caring. This shit is over.

Break those masks back out.

Smart move IMO. It would be nice to keep stadiums open to the public ( vaccinated or not) all season.
