Vax-ers … a New At Risk Group?


Last week the University of Georgia’s football team had quite a quandary  …  multiple cases of Covid. We’re they going to be able to field a team?

I can already hear the multiple choruses of: “It serves those young anti-vaxers right. What do they think was going to happen!”

The problem, however, may represent a new at risk group as all of the COVID-19 football cases were among people who were fully vaccinated on a team where nearly everyone had received the jabs. The news of the infections not only has the coach in a quandary about who on his roster will be available to play this weekend, but it should also raise a number of questions. 

College football players are young (18-23 y/o), and in great shape  … maybe with the exceptions of the kickers and the water-boys. In other words their risk from Covid is minimal. Where did all of these vaccinated young men get the virus? Did they get the virus from the team (Clemson) they played the prior weekend? Did one player get the virus from outside of the team confines and then spread it to all of his teammates? If that were the case, that’s a very impressive, amazingly fast spread in young vaccinated individuals. Are these Georgia football players better off in the long run now that they have tested positive for the virus?

A related story that I just heard it eerily similar to that of that of the Georgia football team. This involved a family of five … the parents in their forties, and three sons ages 10, 13, and 15. All except the ten year old had been double Pfizer vaccinated, and lo-and -behold all came down with Covid. The ten year old had not been vaccinated because of his young age. Only the mother had a significant course having to go to the emergency room, but now everyone is okay. Again as with the football team, how did this transpire? Did one of the boys bring it home from school, or did one of the parents unwittingly bring the virus into the house? Either way the spread was rapid, just like with the Georgia football team. The spread was also all inclusive, irrespective of vaccination status.

However, more important at this point in time, similar to the Georgia football team, are all five of this family’s members better off in the long run now that they have had the real deal?

The other day Biden said that he wanted “to protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated,” yet in these two instances perhaps we should ask how to protect the vaccinated from the vaccinated!
