He chose not to get vaxxed and is unavailable for 2 games. It hurt today in part. That is kind of a character issue concern to review at year end.

Rightly or wrongly, a lot of athletes are concerned as to what the vaccine might do to their heart. I wouldn't frame it as a character issue.

No its not.Character issue cuz he dont want the jab?Lame.

[Boltgang74]

Agree, that isn't a character concern, let's call it an availability concern. Bosa wasn't there to help his teammates out and we lost, that is still a big concern. Hopefully this type of issue will be used in evaluating our personnel going forward, a player isn't helping if he's not playing. Not rocket science.

They have the right to choose their own medical decisions concerning Their body.Soundin like a buncha Urban Meyers lol.

Exactly

Yup. It sucks that he missed time but there is a vast difference between being concerned about your body vs being out partying at a club and getting into trouble in the early morning. Both would lead to missing games but both are not character issues.

I had not heard that. I've never read that it will harm the heart?

Just a reminder, we as a member body have agreed not to go into what may be considered politics with COVID. It's kind of a wet blanket, but calling out others, including the players, for making decisions about the vaccine on what they believe or think they know will just make this place miserable. I do have to delete posts that may go over the line, without warning, so if you do have a question about why a post of yours 'disappeared', pm me or Fleet.

Sorry, I was out of line. No more comments from me relating to this issue. Should know by now to wait at least a day before posting after a loss! These guys are all pros and I have nothing but respect for them. Stay healthy, no matter the path.

The risk is 1 in 50,000 for the Pfizer for heart issues. The majority of athletes did not see this as a risk. Personally I would be more worried about the health risks of getting covid than effects from the vaccine. Death rate is > 100x higher.

I agree they should be concerned about their bodies but you can do the math.

Myocarditis-inflammation of the heart muscle and pericarditis-inflammation of the lining outside of the heart caused by the immune system being triggered by the jab.

Thats IF you trust the "official" numbers folks.

Has anybody had this or is it a possible side effect they have to list?
