The NFL informed clubs today any team employee who refuses a COVID-19 vaccination without “bona fide medical or religious ground” will be barred from Tier 1 or Tier 2 status, and thus have restricted access within the team facility and not work directly with players, per sources.
Here’s the full NFL memo, which also says teams must report weekly the number of employees who are vaccinated, as conversations with the NFLPA continue on the thresholds at which protocols on testing, PPE, travel, etc., can be relaxed. pic.twitter.com/FXuIhFP6Vh

the vaccine wasn't "rushed." The technology isn't "untested." And it's absolutely ridiculous to think that in something as delicate and precise as developing an mRNA vaccine with an efficacy in the 90s that they "cut corners" on purpose.
mRNA was used for SARS. It was a huge leap forward in protecting our species from a virus extinction. It should be celebrated. About 2.7% of the worlds population died in the 2018 epidemic.
Covid is way way more transmittable that that 2018 virus. But, just take the 2.7% number. That would have been 213 million dead from Covid in our time.
200 Million of the mRNA vaccines have went into American arms. No issues beyond some transient 24/48 hours of mild fatigue/chills. This is a triumph of science. [Reply]

I don't think that mRNA vaccines were used during SARS.

It is pretty crazy what they can do now like using HIV to cure cancer, mRNA I think has been used before for cancer but first time for a vaccine I think. [Reply]
