Look at Liam Jones as an example. Not even a pre season complete and its going to be irrelevant whether he got vaccinated or not but he's had to retire, leave us with a gaping hole in defense and he's missing out on 400k etdtimated at minimum.
No one has been victorious in that scenario.
Keep in mind im double vaxxed and im going for my booster Jan 6th.
Why? I work in a hospital and my risk profile is different to average Joe.
The measures, fine. The vaccines fine. The vaccine mandate and draconian response? Not fine. No where near fine. A massive issue, and one that has guaranteed that if there is another vaccine required a bigger portion are going to skip it irrespective of vaccine mandates.
The noise in the city is growing larger not smaller.
You guys are too arrogant thinking you know better.
A couple points on this.
1. Jones didn't HAVE to retire. He had a choice, he chose not to get vaccinated, which meant he couldn't play. He could've stayed on the list at minimum wage. He chose not to bother and retired.
2. re 'Draconian response'...
Of all the 'anti-vaxxers' and 'my body my choice-ers' what is one of their main gripes with the lockdown mandates? The damage it is doing to the people, mentally.....which is mainly due to the economic impacts of the lockdowns.
With that in mind, the AFL is a billion dollar industry which employs thousands of people. There is a risk that the whole AFL could be brought to its knees, putting 1000's out of work, costing millions etc etc.
The AFLW had its season cancelled (in finals no less!). The same thing can happen to the AFL.
