He faces possible hospitalization and death and the other 13 do NOT. They face ONLY mild symptoms. They will be asymptomatic carriers and COULD (?) carry CV back to their families.

(2) The "COULD carry back" comes into play because the ONE unvaccinated individual and the 13 vaccinated players will have vastly different amounts of antibodies built up. The 13 vaccinated players will have much greater antibodies to defend against the VIRUS. If the ONE unvaccinated player avoids the hospital in the future he can still get another - possibly even worse bout of CV. My CONCLUSION is that all the factors of risk versus reward point in favor of getting the vaccine. NOT getting the vaccine puts fellow citizens and family in DANGER of being exposed to potentially risker and risker variants of CV. Why risk the future - yours and the nations?

Laboratories synthesize from scratch Messinger RNA so your body is ready to fend the virus off should you be exposed. This is new technology. There are vaccines for other diseases that may inactivate a virus eg. you are injected with a dead virus so your body would fend off an infection. The difference has allowed the covid vaccines to be rapidly tested and approved rather than years for the other technology. Whoever quoted Scientific American is over readings and doesn't understand this and it's dangerous. The new vaccines are very safe and effective but the misinformation out there is killing people.
As far as the Yankees, I would suspect they haven't been fully vaccinated yet for who knows what reason, I would love to know why.signed Retired MD

It seems consistent that we can not learn to disagree without insulting people. It used to be possible, too bad for the change.

There is a huge difference between disagreeing and not comprehending the written word. Three separate times someone posted that it was the player’s fault for not being vaccinated. Three times I reposted that they had been vaccinated. The forth time I wasn’t as polite…
It wasn’t because of difference of opinion…

Sorry, no it is NOT fascism, it is the legal system. We already do this in other cases. A person can be charged for yelling fire in a theater.

Who will be the arbiter, the jury - American citizens. Not the government, which would be Fascism.

That IS a perfect example.....yelling fire in a movie when there is NO fire - is an example of EXTREME disinformation. Enough disinformation, even in small doses, leads to propaganda, which is a DEMOCRACY destroyer. Are we there yet???????
