Those dudes better be lined up immediately to get the vaccination. Look at MLB where even among vaccinated players, testing is forcing asymptomatic players to be forced into quarantine protocols.
Why?
If the vaccine works, why are they in quarantine? Even people that took the vaccine can get the virus.

So what happens if they reach this threshold and someone on the team who is vaccinated tests positive causing other players to be tested who are vaccinated and some of them test positive?

Why even test anyone?
If someone is sick, and wants to rule the rona out... they are free to go get medical attention. Like how the world use to operate, common sense.

If enough tests positive, that team will forfeit.
We’ve already seen this with NC State in Omaha.

Yes.
So it would be ideal to avoid testing for it, no?

Why would there be tests? Testing doesn't make any sense if one believes the vaccine works.
(probably just blaming the messenger)

Not exactly apples to apples. NC State hadn't met the threshold for no testing so because of that the events were set in motion that prematurely ended their season.
If a team is at 85%, I guess the only way someone would test positive is if they were sick. I'm unsure what the protocols call for in that situation.

Testing doesn't serve any real purpose, not that it did... but even less so now.
1. they are saying or implying the vaccine works
2. than what is the purpose for mass testing?

Right, I just think the 85% threshold is silly. If a QB room or OL room for Bama, LSU, UGA, UF, etc turns up with a few positives, deeming them ineligible, Sankey will not force them to forfeit.

Why test at all under any percentage? Why is the NCAA involved?
Why would one be not able to play if they test positive? Clearly either the vaccine doesn't work and/or there is another agenda.

Of course, George. Of course.

Just another tool to manipulate the outcome of the season.

They are probably at 30% but reported 90%.

Sounds like coercion to me.
Sounds like a choice. If your program doesn't do a good job of getting the 80-85% vaccination threshold, you have to forfeit the game. I hope that if a team has to forfeit do to COVID, they get the loss and the other team is awarded a win by a score of 2-0 (Safety).
The Pfizer vaccine, of which 85 Million people have had the double Dose, is now at Priority FDA approval and should likely be granted full FDA approval by the end of the year. It was approved as a safe experimental drug

Why? What is the purpose of that?
If a team doesn't have enough healthy players to play, of course, a forfeit should be the result or can be. But if a team can be fielded... what's the problem?
If the vaccine works... there is no reason to test.

This season will be fricked up like a soup sandwich

No one wants to get the vaccine, but when we forfeit a game because of covid, everyone who’s a fan will be bitching about players not getting vaccines.
Posted on 7/19/21 at 1:28 pm to skullhawk
So if you have to cancel a SEC game due to covid that means you cannot participate in SEC title game?
You would be ineligible for that game
You would be ineligible for that game

Of course if a team has enough players to play the game will be played. But if a team does not have enough players due to a COVID-19 outbreak, and their vaccination rate is for example 60-70%, etc, they should have to suffer the consequence. IF you are at 85% vaccinated, the testing and trace protocols as I read it are not going to happen.
So the SEC is providing incentives for teams to get the COVID deal under control. Your 85% plus, no testing and tracing protocols and no need to worry about having to forfeit a game.
What is the purpose of not getting the vaccine? Hell, I am in my 50's, I had to get the Small Pox, Polio, Rubella, Tetanus, etc, etc, before I could go to school back as a kid.
