Johnny Rodgers in Omaha ICU with Covid-19

Except with Covid, you're more likely to die without ever becoming immune through natural antibody building. And we still don't know what the long term effects of Covid will be. We still don't know how those who weren't vaccinated and contracted Covid how it will affect them 5, 10, 20+ years later...Lots of research and testing still needs to be done.

98-99% recover. How do you come up with your first statement?

As far as the last 3. I agree with you, but the same can be said of the vaccine. We don't know the long term effects of the vaccine. Lots of research and testing to be done.
 
OK Guys:

I can be a great thread hi-jacker; but, this thread IS about Johnny Rodgers fighting COVID-19. If it turns into a pro vax/anti-vax/fights about COVID protocols, it will just be one more locked thread.

Please keep the posts related to Johnny Rodgers COVID recovery and nothing else. As ramelbm posted, people worry that Johnny passed from COVID when they see responses.

PUH-LEASE!

1st part of what you quoted above...

160,000 Unvaccinated Americans Died From Covid-19 Since June — Shots Could Have Saved Them, Study Finds

From the article... In November, there were 33,000 Covid deaths. 29,000+ were unvaccinated.

And from this article... Staggering COVID-19 Statistic: 98% to 99% of Americans Dying are Unvaccinated - AU/UGA Medical Partnership

.8% or 150 (of the study sample size) of vaccinated people died from Covid whereas the remaining ~18,000 who were unvaccinated died.

I cannot figure out why you would take the chance of not getting vaxed

It will be locked soon because you know, people.

But sounds like he is doing better.

We could have used him this year a as punt returner. Even at his age and health, he probably would have gotten more than 30 yards on the year.

Yeah, sigh, I know people.

It's just, sigh, Johnny Rodgers, I thought we could maybe stay civilized. My hopes have faded on that one.

I just hope that if he does get the vax, he'll get the FDA approved one and not the EUA ones.

Because it’s a personal choice. Several factors go into it. Especially personal medical history. We weigh these options with all immunizations even the military. Example, you have eczema no smallpox for you, allergic to eggs and foul no Influenza for you, etc. the problem with this vaccine is we are allowing the politicians and media drive the bus and not the medical experts.

with that said, I would advise JR to be vaccinated.

Note: Last edit to suffice Uenth. :yay:

One last time, can we please limit comments to Rodgers and his recovery from COVID?

If you want to have a pissing contest about vax'ing, start your own effing thread, PLEASE!

We still don't know how those who weren't vaccinated and contracted Covid how it will affect them 5, 10, 20+ years later. I tend to think those who weren't vaccinated and got Covid are going to suffer a much higher likelihood of getting other diseases in the future. (That is merely my take, have nothing empirical to back it up though.) For example, Chicken Pox is another viral disease which leaves behind herpes zoster aka shingles. Covid, I am guessing, may also leave behind a virus that goes inactive but could onset as people's immune system weakens with age or they get another disease. Lots of research and testing still needs to be done.

I agree…The same can be said for a rushed man made vaccine. So you agree, let people make the decision based on what’s best for them and their situation. I’m not anti vaccine BTW but I’d be a hypocrite to say we need to force medical procedures on people when I literally hand out consent forms to patients all the time performing radiologic procedures and administering contrast. One simple X-ray has the ability to alter cells, DNA, and cause cancer yet we treat it as if it’s just the norm. People need to be properly educated and allowed to make an informed decision for what is best for them. Back to Johnny Rodgers, he’s in a very susceptible age group and he should take the vaccine AND the influenza vaccine which is just as deadly to that same age group.
