Some of the healthiest people on the planet are being managed by some of the dumbest people on Earth. According to Vice, the NFL is now a “COVID superspreader.” With the playoffs beginning in almost exactly one month, there are—as of this writing (the list has been growing daily)—nearly 100 (out of approximately 1700) players on the NFL’s COVID-19 list.
Tellingly, Vice
notes that “Sixty-five players have
tested positive in the last two days,
including a single-day record on Monday of 37 new cases.” So
again we have an “outbreak” among those who’ve merely “tested
positive” for the Wuhan Virus. The Vice
article goes on to mention how the NBA and the NHL are also dealing with “outbreaks”
of positive Wuhan Virus tests.
Without one mention of a
player who’s actually sick, seven times the Vice
piece uses the phrase “tested positive” or a close derivative. Several more
times Wuhan Virus “test” or “testing” is mentioned. No mention of
hospitalizations, no mention of deaths, just “tests.” What’s more, over
94% of NFL players are “vaccinated” (that definition keeps
changing). Additionally, 97% of the NBA is “vaccinated”—with over 60% having
received their “booster dose”—and reportedly
only four NHL players remain “unvaccinated.”
Thus, the “outbreak” of positive tests in U.S. professional sports has occurred in spite of what is certainly some off the highest rates of vaccination of any large group of people the world over. Also, these “outbreaks” complete contradict the notion—recently spouted by Joe Biden himself and enforced by Twitter censors—that the vaccinated “do not spread the disease to anybody else.”
Nevertheless, the NFL is
doubling down on its anti-science, data-ignorant policies. According
to ABC News, “The NFL is requiring players, coaches and other
team personnel to receive a COVID-19 booster by Dec. 27.” The NFL has larger
rosters, and much more human-to-human contact than either the NBA or the NHL,
yet in nearly two seasons now in the COVID-era, the NFL has reported virtually
zero serious illnesses due to the Wuhan Virus.
At the end of last season—which was played when almost no
one was vaccinated—the NFL, in conjunction with the CDC, revealed
that there was zero evidence of “on-field transmission” of the Wuhan
Virus. Additionally, in spite of rampant testing, there were few positive tests
amongst NFL personnel, and again, virtually no one got seriously ill from the
Wuhan Virus. In spite of this, the NFL got completely on board the Wuhan Virus
vaccine train. And look what it got them! It seems the NFL is still
refusing to believe its own data.
The AP reports
that, because of “rising coronavirus numbers around the league,” the NBA may
return to daily testing for players and coaches. When are these fools going to
learn that the Wuhan Virus is simply going
to do what viruses do? And no amount of testing and other foolish
“protocols” is going to change this.
When are these organizations going to stop pretending that
the young and healthy have ever been in any serious danger from the Wuhan
Virus? Much of the rest of the U.S.—at least those of us on “team reality”—have
long understood what this virus really is, and who’s at risk from it.
Cancelling games, pulling players, more widespread testing, and the like is
nothing more than further pandemic theatre. If there are more game cancellations
and loss of time for players with “positive tests,” it won’t be due to another
“outbreak” of the Wuhan Virus, but it will be due to yet another foolish
reaction to the Wuhan Virus.
Perhaps these league executives are not as dumb as I think
they are. Like the Democrat Party, perhaps they have decided to continue to
play politics with this virus, using it as a means to control others. Perhaps
American professional sports owners and executives have decided that such
tactics will aid and abet the Democrat Party. Whatever the case, “team
reality”—as much as it exists within the players associations—needs to stand up
to this evil.
