Ah I see. Well I wouldn't say going all the way forward, but I'm confident in McKenzie taking over for Bease a couple games if needed... 1

Brutal Beasley is out let’s hope no more players test positive. Feliciano said he needed to go to the hospital on Sunday for the Covids, out and at a hotel today but got a monoclonal Ab treatment. Wishing him a speedy recovery. 2 1
T master Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Can some one please explain the difference to me why if either a vaccinated player or unvaccinated player tests negative that one can play and the other can't or has to wait a extended period of time ? If they (vaccinated or unvaccinated) are negative for the virus that means that they don't have it any more correct ?? So what's the deal is it just to punish the guy that decides he doesn't want to get the vaccination (that's what it looks like to me) because if you do as they use to say "Follow the Science" And you test negative which the science says if you test negative you no longer have the virus so if you no longer have it you can no longer pass it on because you test negative & no longer have it then why do you need to wait the extra time to play ? But then if you do have the vaccine and can still get it & pass it on why do they only have to test once a week wouldn't it make more sense to test every body every day to make sure vaxxed or not that you don't have it ?? If you can come up with a reasonable common sense explanation PLEASE dear god PLEASE let me know what it is !! 6 3 1

I guess Twitter and Instagram will keep him busy until hes cleared to play football again. We are back to preseason Bills with half the team going off the rails on social media days before we play for the division title. McD likely realized this was a throwaway season after seeing half of the starters remain unvaxed week after week. Every one of these players needs to be gone in the off-season. 2 1 6 2 1
Evian Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 8 minutes ago, HappyDays said: They haven't treated unvaccinated and vaccinated players equally since the start. The complaints that Beasley has now were the same complaints he had in the offseason. Agree with it or not those have been the rules. All of the unvaccinated players have known they were at greater risk of missing games, irrespective of the vaccine's efficacy. The NFL just changed the rules. That is the problem.

In addition, with the 1st opportunity to enforce a "forfeit" or at least keep the game as scheduled, they decided to reschedule multiple games. I have a problem with that inconsistent enforcement. NFL set the original rules, just stick to that, or at the very least don't adjust them to make even more biased/subjective. 1

HomeskillitMoorman Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 Does Cole realize that by him believing and acknowledging that he may not have gotten tested if he just got vaccinated, that he’d probably be playing and helping his team in the biggest game of the year if he just took a shot? Maybe he should have done the unselfish thing and just got vaccinated. He could still voice his opinion on it, but he could’ve played. 2 1 2 2

I didn’t really read that snippet as advocating people playing sick but I didn’t read the full statement if there’s more
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 22, 2021 Posted December 22, 2021 11 minutes ago, UKBillFan said: Reports from the UK is that 90% of those in hospital being treated for Covid are unvaccinated. Good to hear Beasley is fine but the vaccination v treatment approach outlined his reply to Feliciano is stupid to put it mildly. Treatments take longer to implement and also means a hospital bed is taken up to carry them out. Well, not quite. There are a couple of things uninformed about it, though. Preventive medicine like vaccines are always less expensive than disease treatment, and this is no exception. Vaccines (like Prevnar) normally sell for about $200/dose. The various Covid vaccines are being sold to the US Gov't currently for between $4 to <$20/dose. A single pharmacist can administer at least 20 doses/hr, more if it's a clinic where one person is checking the paperwork and filling out vaccine cards, another is drawing up doses, a third is administering them. 6 doses fit in a tiny vial, and racks and racks of vials can fit in a freezer box. Monoclonal antibodies are far more expensive to produce, store, ship, and administer. Regeneron is currently selling its mAb treatment to the go'vt at a discount- $2,100 dose (a mAb treatment may normally cost $5,000-7,000). The treatments can be given on an out-patient basis, so they don't take up a hospital bed, but they do take up a treatment room and the attention of a nurse for 90 minutes. The patient to staff ratio should be something like 1:5 to be sure the IVs are all running smoothly, no air, no blown veins, no adverse reactions. 1 1
