WCE Player Refusing Vaccination

[kane249]

In Australia we would lose 1,500 per annum under normal circumstances

We have now had covid control for 2 years and lost less than 3,000 from covid.

The median age of death for covid has been higher than the median age for all deaths

We are now facing a low risk version of covid with double and triple vaccination and the stats are speaking for themselves.



oh and do you feel we shouldn't use risk matrix of probability of an event and the risk outcome? Should we work on emotion and fear as the pressure gauge?

I ask again, have you ever seen lockdowns, masks, quarantines, vaccines to contain the spread of a flu in your lifetime? Like many Australian's you have a very sheltered and selfish view of the world because for the large part we have avoided the catastrophe that unfolded in other areas, we've been very fortunate.

With the Eastern states opening up we have had 750+ people die in Australia from COVID in 2022 already, half of your flu stats per year you keep trumpeting. Did I mention we aren't even out of January yet? Doesn't bode well for something people are writing off as just a mild virus.

The whole taking a vaccine to protect others narrative surely is ready for the bin seeing it doesn’t actually stop
The virus spreading. The only person Jack is hurting is himself.

And just how much of a factor do you think lockdowns, distancing, masks etc were in keeping that number to around 3000? What do you think the number might have been if we hadn't locked down? Also, bear in mind that about 600 or 700 of that 3000 has occurred in just three weeks of 2022, fatalities are running at triple the pace of the Delta wave. There's an argument about how to handle it with vaccinations but you 'it's just a flu' nonsense is just that... nonsense. I mean, is that you, Jack Darling?

Confidently incorrect. Having the vaccine absolutely reduces the spread to other people, as well as reduces your own chances of hospitalisation. Given increasing hospitalisation strains the system, which then affects everyone, it's not a harmless stance.

Will he get novavax?

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

“This was my experience, therefore any other experiences are invalid”

 

[JackOutback]

yep and a person who is unlikely to have serious impacts from covid

• so no benefit re spreading
• statistically no benefit re taking for omnicrom (I would argue differently for delta)
• just a punishment from the government for calling out there policies and misinformation (most made in good faith but proven false over time) made over the last two years

Oh great, can we not turn yet another thread into a meeting place for anti-vaxxers?

I'd rather this is just a thread to make jokes about a West Coast player refusing a drug.

 

[Virgin Dog]

Will he get novavax?

If I had to guess, I'd say he ends up like 99% of people who say they're "waiting for Novavax" - won't get that either

 

[Dewyyyyy]

He reckons because he’s unable to catch a footy means he can’t catch Covid.

, it’s not a platform your personal views on vaccination and death tolls. Take it elsewhere.

Granted I was obscenely drunk at the time and have never viewed a replay, but I maintain we'd have run over the top of your mob had he held that one in 2015

Absolutely wrong but go on x

Its an irony given he was the one not refusing to get drunk prior to his draft year.

 

[TaylorMade]

The Brisbane Lions have just made a similar announcement regarding Cam Ellis Yolmen. I wonder if there are still a few players from other clubs to come.

 

[Forward Press]

Ironic given it was a long running in-joke on the WC board about trading Darling for Cam Ellis-Yolmen.

Someone checked on Dark Sharks?

 

[DanWA]

All the best Jack

 

[DaTBird187]

My guess would be Darling

 

[kane249]

 

[RUNVS]

That feels like some bullshit. If he was suffering from depression maybe, but he specifically said it was an injury, one he got at work (ie playing football) so if that was the case he would be at the club all the time in getting rehab.

 

[Brad Goodman]

That can’t be real.

Is his “work-related injury“ CTE?

 

[kane249]

My guess is something from the sovereign citizens playbook or similar to cover his ass

 

[JackOutback]

The Eagles are notorious for keeping things close to their chest. The fact they have put out a statement means lack of vaccination is 100 per cent the reason he was not at training.
