The daughter of the elderly couple who passed away hand-delivered a gift card to our door a week later as an attempt to thank my wife for the care she provided her parents. She obviously couldn’t accept the gift, but it was a kind gesture considering the gravity of her loss.

The Bills should cut that selfish prick. It’s a polarizing Kaepernick-style distraction at this point.

According to ESPN.com, the league will fine unvaccinated players $14,650 for each violation of the league's COVID-19 protocols, such as not wearing a mask in areas where it is mandated to do so, or attending a crowded, indoor event

As much as I think the NFL is ridiculous, in the grand scheme of things how is this that unreasonable?

Lost games = lost revenue and they're trying to minimize the chance of it happening. They're not forcing you to get the vaccine, but they'll essentially make sure you don't cost them a dime.

The NFL is a business that has a right to make money and stay profitable.

NFL doesn't have to be a state actor for a religious discrimination suit though.

Nah, I’m just giving my fellow (R)’s another perspective. Thinking outside of the anti-vax box the grand ole party is trying to put you in can be scary, but worth it.

Class action lawsuit should be incoming. They should claim religious aversion to the non-FDA approved RNA-altering injection and sue them for violating their First Ammendment rights.

What happens when someone in your family dies from it though?

Everyone’s ticket has to be punched sometime. You can easily be a victim of a heart attack, stroke, cancer or car wreck. My family have all been vaccinated, but people deserve the choice, especially with a non-FDA approved experimental vaccine. Basically right now, all vaccinated people are participating in the largest beta test in history.
