This was really disrespectful of Cole. Healthcare workers have been heroes the past 15 months. My best friend’s mom lost her friend (who was a nurse) to Covid, that she got while caring for patients at the hospital.
My office reopened Wednesday, and in order to be let in the door, I had to upload a copy of my vaccination card. I could still work remote, but I like having the option to work both places. His employer is giving him a choice, albeit with different protocols depending on that choice. I can understand why someone undergoing chemo, or who is pregnant, or otherwise immune compromised having concerns, and checking with their doctor and deciding not to get the shot. As a society, everyone able to get the shot should do so, to help protect people unable to. I really hope McDermott and Beane have a heart to heart with him about it, because it’s going to become a needless distraction for the team. Picking fights with fans is never good for public relations either.
