[Captain Apollo]

The plot thickens. Bryce Cartwright, Nathan Peats and a 3rd (un-named) Titans player stood down. Looks like the NRL are getting tough on this due to government pressure -

Brian Kelly.

Peats has said he's now getting the vaccination this afternoon

I’m going to go out on a limb here and state that more than one of the people tearing into these players doesn’t get their flu shot every year. only about 20% of the population does. So some of you are 100% being hypocritical dickheads.

cant see the government ruling holding up in a court of law. If we can’t force vaccinations that actually save lives like MMR to be mandatory, what hope is there for one that protects against your garden variety flu?

Rubbish, these people have sought permission to participate in a high risk activity and have been given permission to so on the condition they follow certain guidelines. One of these guidelines is to get the flu shot, don't get the shot, that is ok but you can't participate in this high risk activity.

This is awesome news.

completely irrelevant.

it's a flu shot during a global pandemic to get the league up and running again when no other major competition in the world is being played.

if your employer said you can't come into the office again without being vaccinated most would simply get it. Others may look for another job. The players can do the same

They have to pay them their salary, but they don't have to play them in the team, that's the way I see it.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

she's the nutcase that was furious with the Samoan government for vaccinating children during their measles outbreak. Being dumb and ignorant is one thing, but spewing out their lies and propaganda is really a form of terrorism.

Yes, she likened the Samoan government’s vax program to Nazi Germany. f**k me!

What a massive sook.

So the vast vast majority get vaccinations, and yet your salty as f**k because "hypocrisy"?

No one is physically forcing them. They don't have to have the shot, but they don't get to play. Unimmunised kids are already excluded from daycare and in public school they can be pulled out in the event of a virus outbreak.

She's a nasty piece of work. A lot of anti-vaxxers are just stupid and easily fooled. Shes a straight out grifter exploiting these idiots.

Adelaide Crows being investigated by police for breaching social distancing.
Apparently 'an honest mistake'.

Article doesn't name players nor have they been compelled to apologise.

Picture of players have cropped out their heads.
Stock photo, maybe. But these players are immune from further media scrutiny.

An honest mistake now scares away more than the virus.

Can you get a vaccine to stave off anti vaxxers?

 

[TheFrog]

Well some of them do and some of them don't, which is going to open up a whole new can of worms, just you watch.

Unimmunised kids are already excluded from daycare and in public school they can be pulled out in the event of a virus outbreak.

This is not the flu shot though, it is the vaccinations for measles, mumps, rubella, etc that all kids are supposed to have.

 

[Xcalibre]

Give multiple pro-vax nuffies a go.

Gotta love a pro-vax nuffy!

Would you be happy for these blokes to tank the whole competition?

Just want to put on notice my opposition to this. As bad as two refs have been at times, memories are short on how bad they were getting with one ref that made the argument for two refs so compelling.
