at first I was confused, until I realized he meant the day after the home opener.  Lol

Looks like I've seen my last Bills game in person.  I'll find a better use of my money.

the restriction of “vaccinated only” likely wouldn’t  be forever... I hope.

Not sure how to keep this from getting political/controversial. But its pretty big Bills related news. Hopefully we can all behave.

 

Seems unnecessary to be making this decision in April? Why not wait and see how things are looking in two months when a majority of the country is vaccinated? We have no idea. 

 

But I do think this is a good move and personally, like the decision.

 

Also, does this mean Allen is going to get denied entry into the Stadium?😛

Make a copy and laminate it.  Keep the original for future booster shots if necessary.

 

I put my original in a ziploc bag and put it with important papers.

I made a copy and used packing tape to "laminate" mine and keep that one in my car. It can always be remade.

Also took a picture with my phone and emailed it to myself.

also, I’m reading the slides from the ECDOH briefing and it says “County SUPPORTS returning all fans to the stadium and arena for fall”.

 

Was Poloncarz more definitive when he spoke?  This wording makes it sounds like “oh, might happen, but it’s really up to the state”.

So people can make plans now to make sure they're fully vaccinated by September.

Yea I deleted that out. Its a good move to be providing more incentives for people to get vaccinated right now.

Depends. If folks keep refusing to get vaccinated, and we dont get to herd immunity to drive this thing out, and , and allow more variants to pop up.... it could certainly go on forever.

Good. As it should be. You're free to not get the vaccine, but you're also free to deal with the consequences

 

It'll be free to watch all the games from home.  And best of all, those not receiving a vaccine will be free of vaccine-related side-effects.

I'm not sure how to respond without "politics" become involved. I find it sad that vaccination is a "political issue" to begin with. Anyway...

I fully support this decision.

I echo the sentiment that I hope more businesses do this (once vaccines have been available to everyone who wants them for a requisite amount of time). I'd feel much better about going into a crowded restaurant or movie theater if I knew that everyone inside was vaccinated.

If you don't want to get vaccinated against the highly contagious and potentially deadly disease, and thus, want to continue to be a potential carrier and spreader of the disease, then fine, don't get the vaccine. That's your right as an American. But understand that there's no reason private businesses should have to let you through the door and into close proximity with the rest of their vaccinated, non COVID-spreading customers.

I do have one question: If everyone in attendance is vaccinated, will masks still be mandated in the stadium?

Tough ask when pretty much everyone I know who wants the vaccine has gotten it, and the only hold outs are the "my choice" crowd who don't intend on getting it.

 

Huge amounts of folks in my circle who are on waitlists every day. Lots of folks want vaccines and haven't been able to get a spot yet, especially in urban centers. We'll get there.

I would guess yes... there’s been no talk about getting rid of masks for vaccinated individuals because of the different strains. 
 

I was watching Fauci speak and he said that because the vaccine isn’t as effective against strains of the virus that we need to continue to wear masks.

I would imagine this may be a "gametime" decision based on how the virus is going. For all we know, a variant by August may be around and isn't being knocked down by the 1st round of vaccines quite as well as hoped, and is re-infecting or getting to those even with a vaccine.

The side effects is Covid...

 

Oh wait nevermind, that was the microchip typing that....

Edit: This is a smart move, especially if it can eliminate testing the day before.

Thank goodness I live down south... I'll  just go watch us play Jacksonville, Tennessee and Miami.

 

Does this mean Josh Allen can't play?

 

Since we're talking about NY politicians, i'm only semi-joking...

I'm simply amazed at the obedience level of some people, to the point where they can be vaccinated and think continuing to wear a mask indefinitely is perfectly reasonable.

 

If you're vaccinated against Covid, why do you care what other people do? Texas and Florida are doing fine without implementing this nonsense. I don't know if I'll get the vaccine or not but I still believe in the principle of freedom and you should be able to choose what is injected into your body. Fastest vaccine to market ever, limited testing, unknown long term side effects...there are plenty of reasons to decline. Now we are being conditioned to call those people "anti-vaxxers" even if they support every other vaccine.

 

It's crazy.

i don't think people who refuse to get this vaccine are considered anti-vaxxers at all.  the issue is these same people are complaining about freedom.   you have the freedom to get or not get the vaccine.  the same way private business have the freedom to decide whether or not people are allowed in, (i get in this case it's state driven, etc).

Someone get me a Venn diagram of the "I wont go if I have to be Vaccinated" people and the "I wont go if they build a dome" people.

 

And then throw that diagram right in the garbage, because no one cares if you arent coming. There will be more than enough of us that will show up. And we're gonna have a ***** blast.

People have a right to be annoyed that basic enjoyment has been taken away by government officials while some of y'all cheer for the crumbs they drop on the floor.

 

And yes... private companies or not, this is being driven by politics.

Sounds like a normal December at The Ralph, aside from the vax cards 🤷🏻‍♂️

You are making the choice to take it away from yourself.
