LSU will require proof of vaccination or negative PCR test for game attendance

[GrayTide]

I realize this is a stretch in our country today, but you attend a game at your own peril. Everyone is responsible for his/her own decision, and if a football game is worth the risk then have at it. Me thinks this is not going to end well.

These are LSU fans we're talking about...

Funny, but our fan base would have the same reaction if a vaccine mandate was put in place at BDS.

People who won’t get vaccinated because “we don’t know what’s in the shot” but average two corn dogs per game.

This has to be the most posts ever in an LSU thread (37) for the first appearance of the term "corn dog"...

 

[BhamToTexas]

Agreed. Hoping the Phizer FDA results will get more Alabama and southeastern people vaccinated. Would love to have some of these folks around for many more years.

I think the FDA full approval probably does make a difference. It just happened. At least it does with me. I will probably get it now. I have had the virus twice and it was nothing (understand that is not the same for everyone). But I would not be honest if I didn’t say the vitriol I have received over this issue hasn’t played a part in the decision.

I’m in support of this policy. but, what do I know? I’m just a dumb LSU fan. Wait, I know several people who have started the vaccine process because the city of Nola has the same policy for all bars, restaurants, music clubs, etc.

I can envision the lines to get into the stadium while every person produces their credentials, and then the arguments that ensue when some gate worker/ticket taker/medical designee decides to challenge said credentials - and the resulting fight. Some people will be lucky to get in time to see the teams postgame handshake lines.

Dang, I love corn dogs. Is that bad?

Yes.

I work in this every day. I am vaccinated. There are scientific reasons not to get a vaccine. Very rarely does anyone quote me a scientific reasons for not taking a vaccine. Of all the dead and dying people I have seen only one has been vaccinated. I have seen plenty of vaccinated people get what I presume is the delta variant. Compared to the original strain my experiential data is that this is much worse on men and there is epidemiological data to back this up

I know I am tired of seeing healthy and not healthy 30,40 and 50 year old men die after a prolonged illness. Not to mention the 60 and 70 year olds

I hope you didn't get the wrong context out of what I was saying. I'm totally for the vaccines, My whole family has had them, all the way through our grandkids, great grandkids not quite old enough yet...

I did not and have no desire to get into the politics of vaccines. I do not yet want the vaccine mandated. I am just weary of working in the sickness and dying and most of these good people never thought it would be them

 

[bamamc1]

As they should.

That's a low blow. I've loved Corn Dogs and Mustard since I was a kid.
Nowadays I don't even want to think about what's in em.

I've even got my Mother In Law hooked on em.

Guilty as charged.

There really is a difference. Alabama fans might have a Drivers License.

The NY Post posted an article yesterday that a hot dog takes 35 min off your life. Well, after today I'm down 70 minutes .

It is the NY Post, so I was willing to risk it.

Many of us that live in Georgia think uga fans are the worst fans, but as bad as they are, they were never banned as a whole from this site.

And in fact, we have several regular dawg posters here who are quite solid.

Same as most foods.

Fascinating. Two points:

1. I'm willing to bet that's as much correlation as causation; maybe more correlation. I.e., people who eat a lot of hot dogs probably also make other unhealthy lifestyle choices that tend to lower life expectancy; but will an occasional hot dog consumed by an otherwise healthy person have any discernable effect?
2. If point one is wrong, the same study showed a gain of 33 minutes for each PB&J sandwich. So, put PB&J on your hotdog and pretty much eat all the hotdogs you want...

I agree with LSU's decision (can't believe I just typed those words).
4Q Basket Case's prediction: There will be either a new wave or a new variant that makes the current situation look mild. The Federal government, whether through Congress or an Executive Order, will override all countervening state laws and require vaccination to do just about anything. There will be a federally-maintained database identifying who is and who isn't vaccinated.

The law and the database will be challenged in court. SCOTUS will hear the appeals in about nothing flat, and they'll both be upheld. Gaming the system, and getting logged in as vaccinated when you really aren't will be a serious felony. Not saying idiots won't try it, but it won't be easy, and if they're caught, consequences will be severe.

Insurance companies will either (1) start charging non-vaccinated people a higher premium, as they currently do with smokers, or (2) unless you're vaccinated, specifically carve out COVID as a covered condition.

That was my thought too. Hammer the ones caught with fake vac cards so badly it will deter anyone else from trying it. Make an example of them.

i offset a hamburger or brisket plate by eating an entire cucumber

sort of the same logic.
