The NFL policies are fairly random, punitive and not really meant to affect global mutation rate.

Fairly random because why should vaccination affect testing. Simply put, that is an incentive that actually can lead to a higher spread within an infected facility.

Yeah, I feel bad for starting this. Meant for this to be a place where we can discuss covid and its' impact on sports, the NFL specifically.

I apologize to everyone, this has gone off the rails. I only speak for myself when I say I don't know jack about science or the vaccine, only that I trust the people who have chosen careers in that field to help save lives.

I've said this many times: In a sport where players make public health decisions on a daily basis, it is somewhat odd to hear this "personal choice" argument when it comes to the vaccine. I'm sure if Landon Collins went public and said that he's not seeking treatment for his torn ACL due to personal choice, fans would be up in arms about it.

I thought it was a healthy slightly edgy conversation. Lol.
I don’t know shit either, I just regurgitate what those people you speak of tell me.
