Just heard Des on MMM, said that they are applying for a medical exemption similar to what Bryce Cartwright got.

I’ve been getting a flu jab for 20 years now , to my knowledge I’m not autistic but some of my posts might suggest otherwise.

Well given your sudden personality shift in regards to the great Des Hasler I suggest it’s not autism but multiple personality disorder?

Can't believe they have waited until the 11th hour before doing this. They have had 2 months.

Just like asking Suli for his passport a week before a game in NZ.

not sure, but I read that the flu stats are down massively this year. So with fewer people coughing in public it would have an effect on limiting spread of covid19 from people who are non-symptomatic carriers

I hope he gets the jab and plays and I have gotten the needle myself as have my family BUT that was my choice and by same token it's his right to chose what goes into his body.

In this world at the moment there is so much aggro at people who think or act in a way that is slightly outside the lines of what the moralizing majority think. In a few days/weeks time we will see people with masks chastising people who do not, or vice versa.

Back to footy, hope he plays but if he doesn't OK it's his choice and hope he come back rested and angry for the week after.

What I find hilarious is that for all the years that we have had flu injections it is still only about 55-60% EFFECTIVE (as pointed out by an epidemiologist on TODAY show this morning) yet the Qld govt are carrying on like people are put at risk (by a totally different virus mind you) if players dont have it... and the sheeple just buy it hook, line and sinker...

Agreed. Political grandstanding and opportunism of epic proportions by Qld. Sadly they make the rules at the moment.

I've tested positive to a short black, am I allowed to say that?, I just did

I never use to get the flu shot till the wife asked me too. I have had it 4 years in a row and 2 out of the 4 years I have had the worst flu and chest infection I have ever had. I think vaccinations should be mandatory and flu shot a choice. But I respect everyone’s decision

 

[jbb/james]

I thought the idea behind flu jabs was about hospital beds. Because of flu season and the covid possibly hitting at the same time it was possible to have beds shortages so the idea was to reduce the flu cases
currently in many states that does not seem to be the case.

Whats wrong with Silvertails today? Is it April fools day?
So many of you are ' its a person's choice ' and 'we should respect that '...

This is not the Silvertails way. Your job is to ridicule and belittle. To roast and be angry. To swear and curse. All this pro its your choice rubbish has to stop.

This isn't Woodstock people.

The NRL put it in its Covid19 plan that they developed to get permission to get the comp going again. I'm not sure the Government insisted on it, but because they approved the plan, the NRl has to stick to it.

imagine how bad it would have been if you didn't have the jab!

Thats more like it.

Please all dont do that sort of **** again. I have just woken up in old blighty and to see all that positivity really got me concerned that you'd all been replaced overnight.

Fair point but the govt could also alter the approved plan (in consultation with NRL of course) but have chosen to play hard ball for the sake of political grandstanding... it's all a bit of a farce because NOBODY in Qld is any safer because 272 NRL players have had a flu jab...

 

[Dion Johnson]

I am not sure if the flu jab is a personal choice, the intent of the mandatory jab was to minimise the amount of people with symptoms while Covid is about.

If you look at this from a pragmatic perspective, the players getting temperature checks all the time, the jab can decrease the number of people getting the flu.

Lessons I have learned from Covid that wearing a mask reduces other people’s risk of you transmitting a virus to them, that’s the analogy I compare the jab too, it’s not only about you it’s about others also.
