re: Colts Coach Tests Positive, Despite Being Vaccinated

So, everything that is being done from a protocol standpoint is wrong in your opinion?

In terms of getting back to an attainable functioning normal environment? Yes

Testing people for viral particles will always show high results. And if you use these results to prevent people from doing things, it will never end

The kids are reporting in a few days for fall camp. Times running out. The NFL is getting tough on their players and coaches about vaccination. The Olympics are fanless and athletes have been sent home.

Sounds like we are in for the same song, second verse.

---

this is self inflicted pain on the NFL's part though. If they came out and said we are not testing vaccinated players or coaches unless symptomatic, no one would push back on that.

By your own statement testing asymptomatic people (vaccine or not) is meaningless because without symptoms they aren't infected and/or spreading the virus.

You'd also have no protocol for someone testing positive who is asymptomatic.

And, those who test positive with symptoms would be able to return to work if 24 hours symptom free.

Yep, you got it

The vaccine is available now. It is time covid is treated how we have treated every other virus. At some point, that has to be done.

We wouldn’t be getting so many of these if the selfish people who won’t get vaccinated would stay home if they’re not wearing masks so that they won’t spread it.

But remember…my right to be a selfish prick is more important than the rights of EVERYBODY ELSE to not contract the virus.

You're a moron.

Is this not America? I thought you have the rights and freedom to make whatever choices you want, whether it's the vaccination or not.

Go frick a door knob and leave us sane people alone, Karen.

I was vaccinated and tested positive. With symptoms.

Not politicizing shite, just stating facts.

---

The symptoms may have been worse if you weren’t vaccinated. Not politicizing either. Also, glad you’re ok.

Wouldn't not contracting the virus be the indication that the vaccine works?

SMH
asymptomatic people were testing positive before.
there is a reason SICK people are quarantined and treated, not healthy people

a healthy body needs oxygen to fight and heal, not rebreathed co2

Wouldn't not contracting the virus be the indication that the vaccine works?

After a person is exposed to the virus, the virus starts to replicate inside a person's body. Once the amount of virus (aka viral load) reaches a certain level the virus overwhelms the immune system and that is when a person becomes symptomatic and/or contagious. The vaccine preps the immune system so that it can start making a full immune response to the virus within 48hrs of exposure instead of 10-14 days after exposure. The exposed vaccinated person's viral load is extremely unlikely to reach the level for the vaccinated person to become infectious and/or symptomatic.

However that doesn't mean that a person will not test positive. A positive test only means that viral RNA is present in the body. It does not mean that the person's viral load is at the level is high enough to be infectious or if that viral material is even active. A virus could be inactivated by antibodies and the test would still be positive.
