WCE Player Refusing Vaccination

[Masked Magician]

Have heard a rumour that an important eagles player is choosing not to be vaccinated at this point.

He has been in constant dialogue with the club who are trying to educate as best as possible however the player hasn't budged at this stage.

Mods, happy for you to remove if you don't think this belongs.

My guess would be Darling

If they can develop a vax that can be smoked through a glass pipe I'm sure they'll all be on board

. I'd be surprised if it isn't. I, along with several other posters, called this earlier this year.

 

[RAPPA]

And there’s the career slipping through the fingers

 

[Forward Press]

Statistically speaking, if even say NSW can only reach 95% vaccination then by simple extrapolation there must be several AFL players that also refuse to get vaccinated.

Many on the Eagles board have speculated it is Jack Darling

Every thread we seem to have new accounts popping up, how interesting.

 

[Toump Ass]

'Educate'... you have 0.00% chance of being adversely affected by covid as a fit 20 something y/o player.

See this statement right here? It's bullshit.

[DanWCE]

Could be TK

Sorry 0.02%. But you may spread it to others who are/should be vaccinated against it, so it should be fine.

 

[Taylor]

That percentage includes all the sickly and fat people in the age range.

Mentioned on Perth radio earlier in the week when the Liam Jones news was breaking that it was a couple of west coast players who are hesitant to get the vaccine not just the 1 player.

 

[pc79]

That percentage includes all the sickly and fat people in the age range.

Is that a question, or a statement?
As of 4th Nov, overall case fatality rate
20-29 0.01%
30-39 0.02%
40-49 0.04%
Any AFL player should be fine. Why mandated vaccines are occurring for the fit/healthy u50s is beyond me.

Because the fit/healthy under 50s interact with people that may not be fit, healthy or under 50 and if you are not vaccinated the risk of transmitting COVID is greatly increased, and the risk of ending up needing medical treatment is greatly increased.

That people still cannot see that point should baffle me, but given the self-centred nature of much of modern western society I should not be surprised.

It's a statement that the age demographic for fatalities in the AFL player age range are almost all accompanied by conditions that preclude a person from playing afl, mostly obesity

This would be concerning if you were tasked with public health - but as you are not, I am sure this is not the only thing beyond you.

Lance Whitnall and Stewart Dew dislike this.

OK great! Now we're getting somewhere.

What's the percentage of fit and healthy athletes whose full-time job requires elite fitness and undergoing regular health tests having their "heart fuxked up, and (their) athletic career ruined"?

More or less than .02%?

 

[Mofra]

Lance Whitnall and Stewart Dew dislike this.

But in better news for them:

Report: AFL outlaws draftee skinfold testing due to body-shaming concerns

Recruiters will have to use alternative measurements.

You should compare the rate at which non obese and not sickly people in the age range die of covid.

It is almost 0.

Total population fatality rate for that age is mostly obese people.

Fair play. But what I am tasked with is mathematical modelling.. and the model suggests (based on UK numbers and statistics) that the vaccination is effective in lowering hospital admissions and death, but this coincided with increased access to testing which has drastically reduced the cases to hospitalisation/death ratios. More testing = more cases.
This as a virus for the pre conditioned unwell and elderly. Mandating a vaccine for a virus that has a minute probability of killing anyone under the age of 50 is ridiculous.
