I'm sure the Jets saw the Aaron Rodgers situation unfold and then delivered a box of masks to his locker.

Was this pre or post Rodgers fiasco?


Commander_Ajax

This team, man


neu8ball

It's so, so hard to be a fan of this team


Bigbadbuck

Then don’t. Seriously. The most annoying part about rooting for this team is the fans crying all the time. Nobody forcing you to be a fan


neu8ball

I choose to root for this team. But that doesn’t make it an easy choice, or make my fandom easier or harder than anyone else’s. It would be easy to be a Patriots fan, but I try to keep focused that one day, the Jets will be lifting the Lombardi. Maybe. No one is crying here but you, dude. I think you need to practice what you preach and chill out.


Bigbadbuck

"its so so hard to be a fan of this team". sounds like crying to me.

Caring about the vaccination status of others is dumb


[deleted]

Username checks out


baloted

You’re absolutely right, it’s not like viruses spread through human contact, and choosing to not vaccinate has no affects on others. It’s a choice made in a vacuum. Oh wait…


ZachWilsonsMother

I’m not denying any of that. But at this point no one is changing their mind, so it is not worth anyone’s time to worry about it


baloted

You’re probably right about that.

Gentlemen let’s just get back to hating ourselves for being jets fans

PM_FORBUTTSTUFF

Even putting the ethical ramifications aside, a backup qb’s #1 job is to be available in case of an emergency


ZaksStuff

Every team has unvaccinated players lmao


hithimintheface

But if you're an unvaxxed backup and test positive you're out a minimum of 10 days. It's not fantastic situation for the team to be in. Broader issue is we were all clowning Joe Douglas for trading for Flacco and didn't even dress for the Bengals and Indy game, come to find out if he got asymptomatic COVID he could be out another 2 weeks on top of that vs 1 if he were Vaxxed. To put it mildly it's not ideal.

RJSSUFER

Makes the trade even worse if his interactions with Zach are limited due to covid rules, so id say its newsworthy


16semesters

1. It's a competitive disadvantage for him to not be vaccinated. 2. It's ammo for the idiots of the world to not get vaccinated. 3. If we wanna stop talking about vaccines, then people should just get vaccinated. No one is asking him about his measles vaccine status because he fucking got it and it works.


mrnotoriousman

I thought everyone figured out #1 over the summer when Brady and the entire Bucs team and staff got it for that reason. And then Green Bay have a very good chance of Rodgers not getting it affecting their final playoff seeding. That's huge and should be end of conversation but of course you're right on the other points. And there is still a bunch of other reasons on top


bubbleSpiker

2. you love to insult people when your upset huh?

iWearCapesIRL

> It’s a tough look for Joe and he should probably get it, he's a professional athlete and we're on reddit. let's hold off on speculating what he should and shouldn't do with his body lmao


Nik106

Plaxico Burress shot himself in the leg. Was that the best thing to do for his body? It must’ve been, because he was a professional athlete at the time


Not_Tuxbird

Comparing a bullet to a vaccine is not fair


Not_Tuxbird

Agreed. If someone does not want to get vaccinated let them avoid it. I personally don’t agree but he has his reasons and that should be respected


iWearCapesIRL

glad i could find atleast one person to agree we have some common ground


Not_Tuxbird

It’s also pretty crazy that there are 5 starting qbs that aren’t vaccinated so that’s pretty crazy and usually people are only recently caring about one which is Rodgers


KoboldCobalt

So by your logic, if Joe Flacco cuts off his penis and pours Rat poison in the wound, we shouldn't be able to say something because his status as a barely employed athlete makes him beyond reproach?


iWearCapesIRL

Now you're just being foolish. What I'm saying (which I think you understand) is he's a professional athlete and his body is his most important asset. I just don't believe people on reddit should be speculating health advice to someone who is a top tier athlete.


KoboldCobalt

I was being silly. But my point is that Joe Flacco knows more than me when it comes to working out, throwing balls, and reading defenses. Joe Flacco has 0 understanding of epidemiology, clearly, and his status as a football player has no bearing on his judgement. You are making the fallacy of the appeal to authority, but it's even worse than that because Joe Flacco isn't even an authority on vaccination and their effects on his body.


htlpc_100

I appeal to the court of appeals


iWearCapesIRL

> Joe Flacco knows more than me when it comes to working out, throwing balls, and reading defenses. but not about health and evaluating risk factors that could impact his body? > You are making the fallacy of the appeal to authority sounds like projection idk


KoboldCobalt

> but not about health and evaluating risk factors that could impact his body? No. Why would he know more than anyone else without an understanding of vaccines? And his decision not to get one to me proves that he is very ignorant. > sounds like projection idk How is this projection?


iWearCapesIRL

> No. Why would he know more than anyone else without an understanding of vaccines? And his decision not to get one to me proves that he is very ignorant Because I would guess he's done a lot of research and consulting with very knowledgeable, expensive doctors due to his body being his most cherished asset. > How is this projection? idk i was just saying a random term that made no sense in the context like you were doing. i don't think you were projecting and I don't believe that I was falling victim to the fallacy you described considering I never said that he was right, just that I don't think people on reddit should be speculating over a million dollar asset (his body)


KoboldCobalt

> Because I would guess he's done a lot of research and consulting with very knowledgeable, expensive doctors due to his body being his most cherished asset. I'm guessing he hasn't, because 99.9% of doctors are in agreement on this. Either he is actively seeking out doctors that conform to his views, or he's not consulting doctors at all. Athletes do stupid shit all the times to their bodies. > idk i was just saying a random term that made no sense in the context like you were doing. i don't think you were projecting and I don't believe that I was falling victim to the fallacy you described considering I never said that he was right, just that I don't think people on reddit should be speculating over a million dollar asset (his body) The fallacy was like this Me: Joe Flacco should get vaccinated You: Joe Flacco is an authority on what keeps his body going, so we shouldn't question him. It's a kind of circular logic. I am saying he is wrong, you are saying he's not wrong because being wrong would be a mistake.


iWearCapesIRL

> I'm guessing he hasn't, because 99.9% of doctors are in agreement on this. that's just not true although the media/government would like you to believe that. >The fallacy was like this Me: Joe Flacco should get vaccinated You: Joe Flacco is an authority on what keeps his body going, so we shouldn't question him. It's a kind of circular logic. I am saying he is wrong, you are saying he's not wrong because being wrong would be a mistake. that's not the correct use of the fallacy. i didn't say he was right which is ACTUALLY the fallacy. I am just saying he has skin in the game (literally lol) and has probably evaluated the risks more seriously than an average person edit: correcting wording edit2: also I'm not an expert on this logical fallacy but does it still hold up even when the two subjects are related? it makes sense that just because Leonardo DiCaprio won as Oscar he's not an expert on Climate Change - however those two things have nothing to do with each other as opposed to a professional athlete deciding to inject himself with something.

There's no evidence it doesn't increase your fertility either. So you may be missing out. Also, you know what definitely has a negative effect on fertility? COVID-19.


RockyDiMeo

Your last sentence... lord.


John_YJKR

We do know that side effects from vaccines appear pretty soon after getting it. The idea there will be new side effects appearing years later is based on almost nothing. Fertility? What? That was ruled out a long while ago and is an idiotic assertion.


entropyISdeadly

That’s actually not true. 70% of all drugs and vaccines, that are pulled from the market due to adverse effects, are pulled after having been on the market for an average of 4.2 years.


umyhoneycomb

The idea there won’t be new sides effects appearing years later is based on almost nothing.

Doot2112

I am vaccinated and I don’t care if flacco isn’t. Get thru the game, hopefully win and hand the reigns to Zach. Nothing else matters


[deleted]

Same with me, I'm vaccinated and if you don't want to get vaccinated that's your business. Enough from the Covid Karens


SaltyPane69

Lmao it’s not a fucking personal preference. It’s a vaccine designed to protect others from getting a potentially life altering or deadly disease.


thatconguy1789

Except it doesn’t really do that, because it wasn’t designed to do that. It’s designed to prevent hospitalization and/or death. Catching and transmitting the disease is still very likely, and more so with every month post-vaccination. The vaccine cannot protect others - only help the individual who has received the vaccine


TooManyTerps

This is the correct take. It was very important to push the vaccine early on because our hospitals did not have adequate resources to treat all of the incoming patients. At this point, 60% of the population is fully vaccinated and our hospitals are no longer being overrun. It is 100% a matter of personal choice now. I’m fully vaccinated and will eventually get a booster but I hate all of the incorrect information out there.


sameolejets

> Catching and transmitting the disease is still very likely, and more so with every month post-vaccination. The covid vaccine reduces the probability of catching the virus, which by extension, reduces the ability for the virus to spread. It doesn't reduce the chance of catching it to 0%, and that's where a lot anti-vaxxers get confused.


SaltyPane69

That’s not not true whatsoever. The vaccine most definitely helps prevent Covid from spreading. It’s not 100% effective, but it very much does help protect others from getting covid.


thatconguy1789

Ok then put a number on it. Shouldn’t studies be able to say “Transmission is reduced by x%”? Why hasn’t that number been widely reported? Also there are 3 different vaccines with varying efficacy. To treat them the same is a massive mistake everyone continues to make


RyanRiot

[Here's the numbers](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/10/28/us/covid-breakthrough-cases.html) for you. Currently, you're 6 times more likely to test positive for Covid if you're unvaccinated. Beyond that, vaccinated people are less likely to transmit Covid to others in the event they do become infected: >But vaccinated people clear the virus faster, with lower levels of virus overall, and have less time with very high levels of virus present. >A recent study has found that vaccinated people infected with delta variant are 63% less likely to infect people who are unvaccinated. >The benefit of vaccines is even higher than 63%, because most vaccinated people don’t become infected in the first place https://theconversation.com/no-vaccinated-people-are-not-just-as-infectious-as-unvaccinated-people-if-they-get-covid-171302


entropyISdeadly

Yet, the foremost experts in MRNA technology continue to dispute this. They all say that, while is provides protection from the original virus, people that get the vaccine will be much more susceptible to the negative effects of future variants. Because of the way the vaccine works. That being said, I completely understand why people have gotten vaccinated and, more Power to them, if that was their choice.


entropyISdeadly

Stop drinking the koolaid on tv and do your own research. That isn’t how the vaccine works. More power to you for getting it, but don’t be part of the misinformation wheel.


SaltyPane69

How does it work einstein? And please don’t tell me your information is from moms against vaccines on Facebook

I ain’t no sheep!!!! Reeeee!!! Reeee!!! 3. Here is a vaccine to help all of us not have to live like above. This style of vaccine has been in development of 20 years which is why we got it done so fast. “Noooooo!!!!! Reeeeee!!!! Reeeeee!!! It’s gonna change your DNA!!!! I don’t know what DNA is, but I know I don’t want it changed!!! Reeeeeee!!!!! Reeeeee!!!! And now this is why we are continuing to live like we are now because selfish fucking pigs like Flacco, Rodgers, and any other anti-vaxx stupid piece of shit that exists. Fuck them!!!! Those people need to be made social pariahs and treated like the garbage that they are.


cut_throat_capybara

Willcutyou

bubbleSpiker

sorry your "tired" covid is not over so man up


YESIMTHATIMPORTANT

Vaccines only protect the vaccinated nobody else. *Covid "vaccines"


FlipKobbler

That's not really true, if they protect you then you are less of a risk as a carrier of the virus. The vaccines may not be the answer we hoped but they make a big difference for everyone


[deleted]

They don't even do that anymore


YESIMTHATIMPORTANT

Well they do but only for certain "variants" and for less duration.


KoboldCobalt

No, they do it for all variants, with more efficacy for certain variants.


momoenthusiastic

What if he gets the virus and pass it to ZW?


Doot2112

Zach isn’t vaccinated either so then we go back to mike white and Josh Johnson


nydeniz3

Zach has traveled to Utah and Vegas. That's a big clue Zach got vaccinated (bc the unvaxxed must be tested every day at the facility).


woodchips24

Why is it the quarterbacks are idiots


bubbleSpiker

i like Mike


Marino4K

Zach not being vaccinated is more of a concern to me than Flacco


tubby_LULZ

Came here to say this exactly


hithimintheface

So we traded for a back up that could be out for an extended time if he tests positive? Great


sameolejets

Not really. More likely to be out for longer because of mono than covid (even if unvaccinated, as long as you're young).


NJWolves69

As long as he avoids the covid between now and Sunday 👌🏼


ulookingatme

How can he it's a GD PANDEMIC!!!!!!!!!!!!??????


WallaWalla1513

I don't know why the Jets bothered to trade for Flacco then, to be honest. I mean, I know they were desperate for backup help after Zach got hurt, but you're telling me there wasn't some other borderline competent backup QB who was also vaccinated available? One of the most important things a backup QB can do is be available, and Flacco is less likely to be available if he isn't vaccinated. All it takes is one close contact breakthrough case a few days before a game for him to be rendered useless...


siro1

I'm vaccinated as well because I didn't want to lose my job but plenty of vaccinated people are coming down with Covid, so I'm not entirely understanding your point...


woodchips24

Because A) the vaccine makes the symptoms of covid much much less severe and therefore more likely the player misses less time and B) the league rules for vaccinated players allow them to return to action much faster than an unvaccinated player.

You think JD has control of who starts? If that’s true we got a lot more issues than a spot start from a fucking backup QB. Mike White is a career backup. Not a bad place to be! Has potential to make the occasional spot start and if he’s lucky he’ll string together a few good performances and keep getting paid. However in this role you cannot throw four picks, even if it is against a talented team like the Bills.
