If someone chooses to be unvaxxed and ends up in hospital on a ventilator, they arent getting any sympathy from me.
According to this article quoting Andrew Dillon, "only a small handful of players". So not zero, but not many.
No jab, no play: ‘Handful of players’ to be affected by vaccination policy
AFL players and football staff will not participate in the AFL and AFLW competitions in 2022 unless they are vaccinated under the league’s vaccination policy.

(I'm no expert, grain of salt)Really, studies seem to show Pfizer for example is 90% effective at preventing hospitalization and even better at preventing deaths.
I would say that's pretty effective.
Effectiveness of mRNA BNT162b2 COVID-19 vaccine up to 6 months in a large integrated health system in the USA: a retrospective cohort study
Our results provide support for high effectiveness of BNT162b2 against hospital admissions up until around 6 months after being fully vaccinated, even in the face of widespread dissemination of the delta variant. Reduction in vaccine effectiveness against SARS-CoV-2 infections over time is...www.thelancet.com
Obviously, booster shots after 6 months are required to maintain this
From what I've read - while the Pfizer/Astra immunity wears off over time, the protection against hospitalisation/death stays strong long-term.
They can infect others that are vulnerable

I hope none of them are from my club.
Especially Essendon players
I think there’s been one AFLW player pull the pin. I guess a player would need to have extremely strong views to give up the money they could be on if it’s a top player. But you’d think the percentages say there’s got to be one player in the league at least.
We don't have any superstars so nothing to really worry about.
St Kilda put out a statement in the last hour saying that AFLW footballer (and club BnF) Georgia Patrikios will be taking a "leave of absence", followed by usual lines of club offered support and respecting privacy.
Although no specific mention of the Covid Vaccination protocols, I think this is now the statement template going forward for clubs when a player refuses to get the jab.

Well said mate.
Yeah I suspected the same when I read it. Don't think they could just come out and say she's an anti-vaxxer because of the abuse she'd cop.

Bombshell ruling for fired anti-vaxxer
The Fair Work Commission has rejected an appeal from an aged care staff member who claims she was unfairly dismissed because she refused to take the flu shot.
www.news.com.au
Nurse in aged care who claimed unfair dismissal because she refused a Flu vaccine had her claim dismissed by the fair work commission.
People thinking the courts will rescue them might be in for a rude shock.

Clubs shouldn't be obligated to protect the anti-vaxxers on their list. There are very, very few legitimate reasons to not get immunised.

Hopefully they'll get that s**t sorted well before pre-season training, in case of side effects from the second jab.
Hard to see any AFL player - the vast majority of who are earning far far more right now than they will ever earn at any other time in their lives - refusing.
Maybe a player nearing retirement if they want to make a name for themselves.
I see this thread has attracted a new bunch of 'experimental vaccine' idiots.

Bit more cash in it than there is for the women - no doubt some would otherwise refuse but I’m unsure any will be willing to give up their career for it.
Make that 100%.
Zero infact unless for some religious mumbo jumbo.
Anti-vaxxers should have their medicare care cancelled.
Good decision by the AFL. Jab up.

I think as a country we're in a fantastic place. We're one of the most vaccinated places in the world. There will be a couple of exceptions but seeing the numbers constantly climb makes me super proud.
I know eventually they'll flatten out but if all those that have had their first eventually get their second, then I assume that puts us somewhere towards the top as far as a vaccinated nation is concerned.
