[HookedonGriz]

Will be interesting to see what trickle effect this has....

Woke-land. No surprise.

Yes it is unfortunately. I still wonder what the trickle effect could be as they are the first pac12 and power 5 to do this.

i can fully see Missoula County doing this..

Yes Missoula County or UM should do this if they can just like Raiders and likely many others. imagine the alternative of wearing a mask the whole game or rationing tickets/seats to keep distance. What other alternative is there?

 

[TrueGriz]

... What other alternative is there?

Just let every one come to the game as normal, spread the disease, and everyone will have natural immunity soon enough. There may be a small percentage die or become long haulers but those will most likely be the unvaccinated.

Or

You could stay home.

I’d argue precisely the opposite. Protect the at risk by requiring the vaccine. So get the damn shot.

Except the vaccinated are now spreaders to the at risk...those with co morbidities who are not vaccinated need to have their affairs in order - as it has been from the very beginning.

Those fearful of the virus need to stay home.

I wasn't really making any argument, Just providing a couple of alternatives for Speth. I certainly didn't list all the alternatives which getting vaccinated to help avoid the worse side affects of COVID would appear to be the best alternative. Now that Pfizer is FDA approved go get it. May seem heartless but now that I am vaxxed, I really do not care if I spread to an anti-vaxxer who then dies from it. It was his choice. That is one of the alternatives although that would fit in with the first alternative I listed.

I won't be surprised if masks are required for the UW game.

 

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

I was just telling my wife this morning that the way things were trending I wouldn’t be surprised if UM required a vaccine to attend football games. I’m thinking it’s coming, like it or not

Nah I won't stay home because I am fully vaccinated and damn proud of it. Part of the solution and not the problem I am. I'm all for proving vaccination or a negative test. Might prevent stupid in the stadium.

Or the vaccine. They’ve already required students to be vaccinated to attend in-person classes. Now that a vaccine is FDA approved, it seems even more likely.

Uh huh; that's what Patriotism is. Eye roll.

I too am fully vaxxed. I am also now a spreader.

I don't care if a single additional person gets the vax.

Everyone is a spreader, but that is not the reason to get vaccinated. Being vaccinated means that if you get sick, you are more likely to have very mild to no symptoms. The deluge of hospitalizations are unvaccinated people, which have put a strain on healthcare facilities, which have brought us all back to mask mandates, and all the other 'fun' hoops people are having to jump through.
