I think the Jets organization did the right thing to make sure they protect their fans and the community against any illnesses arising from COVID. I think the anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers are mostly thinking about themselves and no one else because they think their freedom will be infringed on. However, what they don't think about are others who will get infected, who will get very ill or even die. Those affected will likely be friends or family members; and it continues from there exponentially. When these people see that one of their close friends or family member passes away or have severe effects from COVID variants, then they'll see the importance of getting vaccinated and follow safety protocols. These anti-vaxxers and people not following safety medical protocols are also the burden on medical emergency staffs at hospitals. They don't think about that as well.
So, I ask, what's the risk of getting vaccinated vs the risk of actually infecting yourself and others and as well putting the burden on the health care system? Sure, this virus is here to stay, but we can minimize the risks of severe illness to you and to others if we're all immunized. It also puts our live back to normal faster and without overwhelming the healthcare system.
