So they played an entire season under one set of rules and then changed it for the tournament? That makes no sense.The protocols surrounding vaxxed vs unvaxxed didn't kick in until the tourney started. Throughout the regular season the policy was the same as it was for football and basketball.
If I were the head coach I would've told them that I couldn't require them to take the vaccine, but I'm not willing to risk my world series on taking them with me.
I can tell you that multiple SEC football coaches have informed their teams that not getting vaccinated will lead to not playing. I'll bet you can guess at least a couple of them.
Sounds similar to the chances of someone young dying from COVID yet schools were closed in many places for over a year. Talk about an overreaction!12.6 cases per million doses is not statistically significant enough to draw conclusions. It's a higher risk than getting struck by lightning, but not by much. It's less than the number of naturally occurring cases of myocarditis in an average year (10 out of 100,000 people worldwide).

You forget the other side of the desk. Many school systems were either unable or unwilling to provide proper PPE to faculty and staff. Turnover would have skyrocketed.
Thankfully my kids attended a well funded system that got them back in person asap this past fall, but many kids didn't have that option.
The traditional flu vaccine is not a mRNA vaccine. They are totally different. However, in the very near future, a mRNA version of the flu vaccine could actually eliminate the flu almost completely, assuming people aren't afraid of it.So it seems that the vaccines are effective against every single āvariant.ā Even the ones that predated the vaccines themselves. Now the delta variant is fairly new. Yet somehow the vaccines are effective. But something is strange. Usually the flu vaccines have to be modified each year because the flu virus mutates. Meaning the previous years flu vaccine would be ineffective.
But now, we have vaccines that can cover new variants. Yeah that makes perfect sense.
Influenza is a totally different beast due to quite dissimilar subtypes and the number of hemagglutinin and neuraminidase glycoproteins that can be combined.So it seems that the vaccines are effective against every single āvariant.ā Even the ones that predated the vaccines themselves.
