Not to defend Rodgers, but there is a difference between being immunized and having been vaccinated. 

yes for lying dishonest cheaters who don't want to tell the truth and cling to technicalities. Then he pretends to be vaxxed by not following protocols when cameras are around. Scumbag.

 

He knew what was asked and he knew he was lying. Double Scumbag.

Sorry but this does raise the question again, do we have definitive confirmation that Allen is vaccinated??

 

I still can't imagine the Bills would have gave him the massive contract extension but it's fair to ask especially since it's well documented his family are far right leaning in terms of politics.

Unless he actually HAS covid. Then he’s out for weeks until he can play. 
 

No difference. 

There is a difference. If you’re unvaccinated you have to be out a minimum of 10 days, even if you have no symptoms.

 

If you’re vaccinated and have covid you can be back as quickly as 48 hours if you have no symptoms. If you do have symptoms you have to be symptom free for 48 hours and then have 2 negative covid tests. So in theory he could be back as soon as 4 days. 
 

But we now know he is unvaccinated, so it’ll be a minimum of 10 days.

Towards the beginning of the year, we had Allen unmasked while unvaccinated players were still masked (Beasley, McKenzie, etc) which seemed to indicate Allen was vaccinated. I assume he followed McDermott's lead in order to get the team's percentage up.

It’s been asked several times in the thread and the answer is no, we don’t know either way.

Well everyone knows that the vax does not stop transmission and infection. All it does is make the symptoms more mild. 
 

So his infection has nothing to do with his vax status. If anything, hanging out with vaxxed people is more likely the problem as one of them obviously had Covid but because their symptoms were suppressed, didn’t stay home, mask up or social distance. 
 

The Vaxxed should be tested much more often as they may not be presenting symptoms even while shedding pathogens. 
 

The NFL has this exactly backwards. But the science has long ago been discarded. 

vaxxed very very rarely get Covid. Unvaxxed are virtually all the cases now. But don't let math get in your way of any conspiracy theories. 😂

I think the NFL will be coming down hard in terms of Covid protocol after this, so expect to see quite a few masks suddenly appear again starting tomorrow.

Don’t think that’s quite true - think it’s more a case of anyone can get Covid but unvaccinated people tend to be hit harder, symptoms wise.

I didn’t consider the lying cheaters like Rodgers, only the medical specialists in epidemiology who make the distinction for very important reasons.

Explains his too clever by half coyness with his answer. Too bad there wasn’t a more savvy reporter there to press him on his answer.

I haven’t seen one way or the other. The only one to say he isn’t is Beasley. 

The one thing that makes me think he is vaccinated is his unmasked attendance at an NBA finals game where masks for unvaxxed people were required. It was a policy that couldn't be enforced, but Allen has never struck me as the irresponsible scofflaw type.

How funny would it be if Love came in and lit it up, and made it obvious the Packers could move on from Rodgers immediately. LOL

Yep. Like I said up thread, I hope Love Wally Pipps his arrogant ass.

I am not sure that is true. If he has tested positive I think he is out. The vacced / unvacced difference is relevant to close contacts I believe. 

 

Explained here.

https://www.profootballnetwork.com/how-the-nfls-covid-19-rules-are-different-for-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-players/

Vaccinated:

Upon a positive COVID-19 test, a player can return if: 1) He has two negative PCR tests taken at least 24 hours apart, and 2) He is asymptomatic for 48 hours.

 

Unvaccinated:

Minimum 10-day quarantine after a positive COVID-19 test.

 

So if Rodgers tested positive yesterday and were vaccinated, all he would need is a negative test and no symptoms Thursday and Friday (or even Friday and Saturday if they can work out the travel arrangements) and he'd be Good to Go.

This is correct. If he was a close contact and vaxed, it's 2 neg tests in a 24 hour period iirc. But close contact and unvaxed, 5 days.

 

No, this is incorrect, see above.  There is a difference in protocol for positive covid tests, based on data about how viral titer behaves.

So was Rodgers straight up lying in the offseason then when he said he was vaccinated?
 

https://www.cbs58.com/news/aaron-rodgers-announces-hes-been-vaccinated-but-not-going-to-judge-teammates-who-arent

 

 

 

He was playing word games.  He got some alternative treatment he petitioned the NFL to recognize and the NFL's medical officers said "Ah, No."

 

It does make me wonder if they've recognized anything else, for example being vaccinated with an inactivated virus vaccine that is approved in other countries but not in US.

Beasley's stance makes a lot of sense.

 

There is no reason to treat positive tests differently.  Once you're sick it doesn't matter whether you got vaccinated or not, you can spread it. They have already shown that the viral loads are the same, regardless of symptoms.

 

Clearly it's harsher not to prevent spread, but to encourage players to get shot.

 

Rogers could test negative twice before Sunday and they would still keep him out as punishment.

 

We are NOT gonna turn this into "Yet Another Beasley Thread".   The NFL is basing their policy on data that while the viral titer in infected vaxxed vs. unvaxxed people measures the same initially, it declines more quickly in vaccinated people and there is lower spread. 

 

If their protocols don't turn out to be sufficient to contain spread within teams, the NFL will revise them.

But keeping players away from the team is to prevent spread.

 

Having different timelines for both makes no sense.

Send your registered letter explaining this to the NFL's chief medical officer (and Vandy professor) Dr. Allen Stills.

 

I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that the protocols the NFL's medical committee developed based on reviewing the latest research make no sense, and will give your objections his earliest attention.

Everyone bows down to western doctors as if they’re infallible. It’s incredibly dangerous. “Oh are you a doctor? Didn’t think so” most common response in any debate within science and medicine 

I find the same thing when I talk about my car breaking down...Everyone is like "ask an mechanic".  Why should I trust a mechanic just because they are trained experts in their field?!  I'll just ask random dudes on FB instead.
