Well I sure hope Adam Thielen and Harrison Smith are prepared to wear masks all season. Idiots.

Has the vaccine been made available to all Americans yet?
They're young and healthy. They are probably on the bottom of the priority list for the vaccine.

Since mid-April, it's been open for everyone.

At this point, like twinsfan said, he can choose his manufacturer. And probably get a shot same day.

I'm 62 and have diabetes. I chose to get the vaccine. Mid April was when the vaccine was made available to me. Then the month wait for the second shot. Then the is it 2 weeks for full efficacy?
There appears to be a credible concern regarding the vaccination causing myocarditis in people under 30. If somebody chooses not to get the vaccine I wouldn't call them idiots. However, they have to suffer the consequences of their choice.

I know someone in a comparable risk group, and she only got her shot a few weeks before it opened up for everyone. Plus local availability varied. it was easier to get appointments in Red counties.

For Pfizer, the official schedule is 21 days between the first shot and second shot, +2 weeks to fully vaccinated. Moderna is 28 days. Locally (Walgreens), the Pfizer shot was given with a 28 day interval. From the data I've seen, you're significantly protected about 10-12 days after the first shot. And from experience in other countries, the second shot can be delayed months (not recommended by Pfizer/Moderna, but data suggests it might generate a better immune response — then again, going from amazing to extra amazing isn't a good reason for the wait, if the doses are available).

For young men, the myocarditis data isn't strong enough to link it to the mRNA vaccines. In that population, the background rate of myocarditis is large enough that it's hard to confirm a small signal — that it'll take more data tells you it can't be a big effect. Example: if you'd expect 200 cases, and you see 220, that addition 20 might just be statistical noise. And 95% of the reported cases are extremely mild and resolve quickly. It's not a significant concern (about the mRNA vaccines).

Yea, perhaps he's looking at the amount of people who have had adverse reactions. I lost a very close friend who died just hours after taking his second shot. I know that millions of shots have been given, but over 5,000 people have died after getting the shot, so perhaps he wants to do the best research he can before he makes this decision. I know it's not vogue to think for yourself any more, but the way the medical community has vacillated on this issue, people have a right to be cautious and not just blindly follow the crowd. If a person has received the shot, why the f@!# do they care what someone else does?

So sorry to hear about your loss. I had no idea some people were dying possibly due to the vaccination. On the other hand I'm pretty sure a lot more would be dying without the Vaccination.

Thank you KG. It is what it is, but yes, not a lot chatter out there about people dying after taking the shot/shots, but apparently it does happen, just like adverse reactions to other medications. Again, the "statistics" favor taking the shot, but nobody can blame people for making an informed decision.

I had my DOT physical on Monday. My doctor told me they've had zero cases of influenza this year - and I believe no cases of strep but now that the masks have come off they are seeing colds and other things pick up

#Vikings QB Kirk Cousins on if it's a competitive advantage for a team to have more vaccinated players: "I think people need to make their own decision and make the one that's best for them and their families.''

This sounds a lot like a guy that refuses to get the vaccine and doesn't want to deal with any backlash.

JMO.

And I could be wrong.

Just what it sounds like to me.

I worry about it dividing the team.

It's my only worry with this team.

I don't know how religious Adam and Smith are but I'm guessing they line up with Cousins...the certain type of religious goober that's against vaccination.

Oh good god ... inevitable ...

So far during the pandemic, Brady has only started for the grocery store four times before having to return to his car for his mask.

Cousins has forgotten his mask in the car sixteen times during the pandemic. One of those times he tried to enter the store using a 'prayer shield' (a combination of prayer and shaking a box of Hot Tamales) but was asked to leave.

Weird we are picking on these three. Almost like some have a problem with a religious QB? Religious WR or Safety? Lets give it a break....

Very funny Tom, but I was talking about getting vaccinated, not wearing masks.

As someone stated, those players not getting vaccinated could lead to division in the team, a schism.

I was wondering about Brady, because he has a tendency to do things right as far as for team chemistry. I also thought he might be one to not vaccinate, since I read somewhere that he was a Trump supporter.

I don't think Tom has a problem with religion. I know I don't. Humor nothing more. Plus he was responding to Marty's eventual inevitable leadership comparison between Cousins and Brady based on vaccine compliance.
