CDC disagrees: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations 44% vaccinated.

Right. In your opinion. But you’re still in the minority. BTW, telling people they are stupid for not agreeing with you is not a convincing argument. Keep it up and you’ll be in the minority permanently

It’s possible that those aspects are a factor to the low “shot” rate, but my own personal experience is that shots are available everywhere, for free and companies like UBER are offering free rides to get the shot. The airwaves, social media platforms and media in general have made access near universal. Maybe it’s different in your area, so I’m not discounting your experience. Its just what I have seen. Everyone who wanted a shot seems to have been able to get access to it. Now concerning the magnitude of the “significant portion” I agree, I have zero data to back that up and that seems to be because no one is interested enough to look into it 🤷‍♂️ But to say that the artificial, administrative consequences haven’t convinced anyone to just “take the darn shot” is also a big leap. Even if it’s only 10%, 60% who come down on the same side of an argument is a significant majority in today’s world.

Most disagree

The thing to remember is that despite all the loud moral condemnations of the very vocal “pro shot” crowd, they hold the minority position. We’re still hovering around the 50% mark and of the 50% that took the shot, a significant portion of them did so to avoid the artificial, government enforced consequences, not because they felt they needed/wanted it. Beas holds the majority opinion and is not alone. Being loud doesn’t mean being right.

I'm loving me some Hollister now too after watching those highlights! The level of trust Josh seemed to have with him, and the fact that he came down with all those passes makes me very interested to see how the TE room shakes out this year. I like Knox, but I just can't see him making all those catches. Which is probably why he isn't getting the targets.

Remember when sports writers wrote about the actual sport not make weak attempts to create drama? It’s turning into the Music on MTV thing. If we want ACTUAL sports content, we have to hit ESPN 3 and FS2 lol Seems to be the direction of all media these days. Heavy on emotion, a slight dusting of facts/insight. I guess if you’re hiring pool is high school newspaper clubs because they’re cheaper, this is what you can expect. Always ignore the bait lol

Supplies!!

Our best RB Wade obviously 😇

Well, let’s just trade Edmunds for Ertz and Singletary for a pick so our best RB, Wade, can start and effectively shut down all TBD hot topics at once 😅

The hypocritical intolerance for this man is delicious.

Color me intrigued. His speed was obvious and (highlights, I understand) he seemed to have good spacial awareness. He will have the best route runners to teach him and hone his craft. JA + young speed receiver. I like it.

That would be pretty awesome....Some Lofton action?? It would be VERY difficult to defend...I suppose we'd let Sanders go in this scenario? If we did, it wouldn't stunt Davis's development too much... Initially, I didn't think it'd be worth it, but man...Diggs and Jones on the outside. Beas feasting in the slot. Davis in for 4WR sets. Perhaps some Knox sightings... Also, I heard any trade would NOT include any 2021 draft picks, so it's all future picks...It makes a bit of a difference IMO. Very interesting possibility that I didn't think I'd even like initially....

30 - 60% offensive plays running the ball, but the other 70 - 40% they are still an integral part of the O. If they aren’t running the ball, they are blocking for the QB, running a route or, if they’re effective enough, freezing LBs/Safeties with play action. If they are good enough, he also affects how the D approaches the O. A good RB forces D’s into heavier sets, making the passing O more effective. He would also affect the O’s blocking effectiveness. A good RB forces the D to respect the run. Meaning they can’t solely pass rush. This uncertainty gives an O-line a moment’s advantage as the D-line has to react to the play before making their move. IMO, we can’t just use “toting the rock” as the only metric we use when evaluating the value a RB brings to an O. The article is compelling and I don’t think people are wrong by holding an opinion on either side of this debate. But, I personally think a RB on this specific team is a force multiplier and having the chance to pick the one you want vs the one that falls to you is not a bad play.

Yeah I think this does need some clarification. To my non-lawyer ear, dismissed means a judge decided that the case has no merit and dismissed it. Dropped means the person filing the charges decided to not continue pursuit for whatever reason. IMO dismissed implies innocence.

Im sorry Teef, I’m not really tracking most of this. I respect you as a poster and already acknowledge you as smarter than the people who would think that. And of course it’s their decision. If you’re wondering why these “some people” are so sensitive/prickly it’s probably because people keep telling them that they’re bad people for holding their POV. I don’t think most actively engage those they think are vaccinated to tell them they are dumb. They usually just want to be allowed to make a MORE informed decision. However, they are often met with outrage for their POV, have begun to see instances where “some people” have been discriminated against (something those who are not being discriminated against wouldn’t notice) and are being threatened to be placed in sections only for “some people” if they’re allowed to attend at all. Most free people have a hard time dealing with that with a southern smile on their face. Maybe give them some slack. 🤷‍♂️

Cant really call them the minority until you hit 50% voluntary vaccinations. That’s both science AND math 😇

Well to be precise it’s Socialism. Communism is a lofty goal (to some) that is unattainable by today’s humans. That is because we’re too stuck on freedom and ownership. Socialism is the transition from capitalism to communism where “experts” and government officials control the society and its production because society isn’t evolved enough to accept communism. The thing is, no one gets past socialism because it gives too much power to the controlling class, leaving the rest destitute. So yes, I don’t like it and yes, unaccountable government officials telling people to do things against their will for the “good of the people” smacks of socialism.

So you’re saying that nobody thinks the vaccine actually works? That there isn’t a segment of the population who bought the hype and now believe they’re safe? You seem pretty smart. You like the muppets. I don’t think you fall into that category.

Says the person who never lived in a communist country 🙄

No, what if the data refutes our narrative?! Too risky

Exactly! You should be allowed to make your own risk assessment. I happen to think it’s dangerous for a segment of the population to think (incorrectly) that now that they received a vaccination that they are now 100% immune and don’t have to worry about it anymore. I think those people are just as risky as those who don’t get the vaccine but maintain a healthy and clean regimen out of precaution. The one-size-fits-all approach usually means it doesn’t fit anyone.

Come on man really? There is a huge difference between polio/Mumps etc vaccine and the Covid vaccine. Unless you’re trying to claim that the Covid vaccine is 100% and permanently effective? Is that your position? If so can you provide evidence, because I haven’t seen it.

True, but if it was a mandatory injected computer chip that can be scanned by a police officer, people would react similarly. Try to Keep it Apples to Apples man
