JM_ Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Just now, grandmaster said: Yup. I totally see that so the league was on a break. He was already covid positive. If he rented a private plane and went to see willing family members I'm not sure the Sharks are 100% in the clear to do what they want. Don't get me wrong, he's an asshat. I just wonder how much power the PA has in this and if they really want to push this. Its my understanding that this goes to an independent arbitrator, not Bettman. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no more excuses. Are you vaccinated? Your two vaccines are meant to decrease the symptoms. A buddy of mine in Maine got Covid on a trip to New Mexico.

'Filling the icu's' is a load if crap... We knew quite early on that they were not 100% effective against Covid. I remember very early on that they would range from 70-85% for prevention (long before I had my first jab).

At least he never had a kid. Finally his parents intervened, took away all his access to his bank accounts, and now they give him $200 per week allowance. Kinda funny but it's actually straightened him out. Nice guy, wouldn't hurt a fly unless the fly &^@#ed with him first but hasn't had a sense of responsibility in 20 years. Could be the root course to most of Kanes problems... way too much too early in his life... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad that when as a child I got the small pox, measles, and polio shots... I guess I was lucky... (Like pretty well everyone else that got those vaccines), that they worked to stop me from getting or giving those viruses and stopped the spreading of them. Call me old fashion but that's how I grew up understanding what a vaccine does. Which is very different than our current vaccines fighting the covid virus. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a bit of a broad statement isn't that like saying that chemo + radiation aren't meant to cure cancer because it doesn't have a 100% success rate? cancer treatments have been around for over 50 year AIDs treatments over 30 year Covid 1 year, and hastily created at that there have been many developments in cancer and AIDs research, but very little time to perfect the COVID vaccine It seems a little early to be attaching "Never" to Covid technologies 13 minutes ago, Hogs & Podz said: Maybe pharma and the government's knew that, but the general public didn't...

'Filling the icu's' is a load if crap... Well the Jab has done quite well against version 1 Covid, ( whats that one called Alphabits Covid?) and Delta, but not so good with Omicron I do recall a statement that boosters would likely be needed, if the Vax was not created, maybe Omicron does not develop, there would have been just a whole lot more death from the original Covid You seem to be judging the whole state of COvid based on your personal experience Since this is a hockey forum how does your experience compare to Brandon Sutter's? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
