 Now let’s turn to the book of CNN and read tonight’s scripture.

 

 

You don't have to have the vaccinations,  but what is the logic of you actively trying to talk others into not getting it?   that is just psychotic.

 

There is no need for you to be so fearfull of a shot.   Man up get the vaccine.  Be brave.

Probably the closest well get to a “recommendation” publicly from the immediate staff. Kudos 

Aside from that, glad he beat the thing and I hope the time off helped him in some capacity! WDE coach Mason

Also some sad irony to see the tone of that and then whining about ostracizing and attempted insult ("safe groups") immediately after. 

Sounds like dude had some personal experiences that did a powerful number on his feelings about health related issues. Sometimes those are the hardest to look past and to avoid projecting out over the broader landscape. But it's hard to be empathetic when they go the full crazy a**hole route about it. In fact, given that blatant apathy sent in return, I have no reason to try.

Gather together with your safe group and ostracize those not like you.  This process should confirm your choices and make you feel better.

You 3 that have commented first are some of my favorite personalities on this board.  Have truly enjoyed your viewpoints on football.  If this is where we split so be it, I wish you nothing but the best.

I couldn’t care less about what you think about football. That’s a game. You aren’t even trying to carry a conversation about covid. You are just being straight up silly.

They were just interpreting the rules...ends justify the means, of course. What could possibly go wrong when you have the Army enforcing quarantine measures.

Is that horse dewormer thread still up? I'm sure he can find some companionship there. 

It's certainly letting me test whether there's an ignore cap.

Yep, avoid vaccination then expect treatment in an ICU. Be a parasite to society.

As you can see in this thread, the anti-vaxxers have absolutely no plan for solving this huge problem we are all in. They only poke holes and nitpick the available plan, which is always the easiest thing to do. 

In the remote chance it is proven that the vaccine does not help, I will still be glad that I at least tried to do what the experts advised to keep everyone safe. 

Science is for wussies!

What a double standard! Really 4 plus years of crying like female dog’s about Russia interference then so on and so on that is really crazy! 

Yeah, everyone knows Russia didn't interfere.  Putin told Trump as much.

Isn't it just wonderful that in the very first day of school, guys brought covid on campus? No wherewithal for submitting a negative test at least a week before the first day? Nothing like that Auburn? 

Who would'a thunk our new head coach would be one of those guys? 

(Maybe you answered your own questions.)

I have no skin in the game here. My whole family is vaccinated BUT everyone wanting to take this approach should pass these out to the obese, smokers and drinkers while they are at it.  They are testing our medical system as well

You make a good point, but apparently our medical system was capable of handling them prior to the pandemic.

brah, there is nothing credible about the huff post.  and you live in Anniston.  

If your intent was to prove that - and you had any sense at all - you wouldn't have chosen a factual article to do it with.

i am the exact opposite of a parasite to society.  i have a job, pay taxes, pay for my own health insurance, raise a family, do volunteer work, donate to charity, donate to my schools and those of my children and family, put money away for retirement and for my children to attend college, and give my time to my local community.  i have never collected unemployment.  since i graduated from auburn i have never NOT had a job.  i am 50 plus and in really good shape.  other than when my children were born, i have never spent a night in a hospital.  i am not obese.  i don't have any preexisting conditions.  i don't smoke.  i have never had a flu.  i have never had a flu shot either.  i have O blood type.  i have somehow managed to avoid COVID.

you on the other hand have thousands of posts on a message board and think you know what's best for me.  thanks but no thanks.

All you have done here is confirm that you aren't really familiar with HuffPo. HuffPo has a fair share of "woo" BS. But it also has a hard news side. Same as Fox.

On edit...

To be very clear, I don't rely on or recommend HuffPo as a primary news source any more than I rely on or recommend Fox. As I said earlier though, not everything at either site is chaff. There is some wheat. I'm not about to ignore accurate info simply because of the URL (web site) where it's found. Like I said, logical fallacies (ad hominem) 101.

Second edit...

Hard news at HuffPo:  https://www.huffpost.com/news/

Politics (often slanted and not necessarily hard news, but it varies) at HuffPo: https://www.huffpost.com/news/politics

I rest my case.o

I get your point, but I didn't see anything on either site that was inaccurate.

I think people just fall back on the "fake news" meme when what they are reading doesn't comport to their political views.

I’m not here to argue, simply to “vote.” IMO it’s a massive failure of leadership on Harsin’s part. I don’t know why. Maybe he doesn’t think he should take the vaccine. But Auburn’s head coach should protect the university and the players, if not Alabama. A clear statement is necessary.

The vaccine protects us from getting infected, drastically lowers the chance of our being hospitalized or dying, and protects our communities. Just look at the case, hospitalization, and death rates of states where vaccination rates are low. Serious side effects are extremely rare, while serious side effects of Covid are not.

I’m not going negative on Harsin because of this mistake. But I am disgusted.

So to summarize:

We don't know if Bryan Harsin is vaccinated or not. Reportedly Mason is vaxxed, but has also tested positive.

We have heard that there is opposition in the locker room among players to the vaccine. This sounds like some group think is happening. Keep in mind that these are young adults who were aware of the vaccine before ever even meeting Bryan Harsin for the first time. 

Harsin was likely very aware of the opposition in the locker room before his comments at SEC media days. Remember coaches showed up with vax rate numbers so the league's rule wasn't new knowledge. 

Harsin and the team's medical staff have encouraged vaccination.

Regarding the SEC's vax rule. The athletic department was told they'd receive the official policy before the season. Well.....at least one well connected insider has said that the SEC has yet to provide a written policy of vax rates and testing protocols, only rhetoric. 

Now assuming Harsin himself is vaccinated, how could he have handled this situation better other than affirming his own status publicly?

Doing some PR announcements (like Saban, Greene and others) is one obvious option.

But my problem is that he has not revealed his vaccination status, which clearly implies he's not vaccinated.
