Wehraboo? - Thanks, I learned a new word today. I don't believe that vaccinations should necessarily be mandatory. Now polio and Covid are completely different situations. One polio vaccine should prevent polio over the lifetime of that person, one Covid shot means someone is "covered" for maybe a year and it sounds like another shot will be necessary. Still I don't think we should force people to do something they may not agree with, especially if that action only puts that person at risk i.e. contracting polio We don't make the flu shot mandatory in order to go to a ball game or the movies and I don't think we should do that with Covid shots. Look at how many people are affected by alcohol and alcoholism. Should we go back to prohibition? We know it didn't work the first time but lives are at stake. Should we reexamine that and force people to act accordingly? And wouldn't my Wehraboo outlook mean that I'm favor of the Totalitarian rule of Government? Cuz I don't want that. There are hundreds of stories how one infection resulted in multiple deaths in several families, so your "especially if that action only puts that person at risk" is pure BS. Last I checked my kids' school would not let any kid attend school without a shots record that indicates they have taken all shots recommended for their age group, including FLU SHOTS!!! But go on Dr......canamvballdad Some good points made by you although hundreds of stories may be hyperbole. Also I'm not a doctor, I just play one on VT. In our school District flu shots are not mandatory.

Sorry eazy...Getting a shot and going to the doctor having nothing to do with each other. Getting the shot focuses on one aspect of physical health. Going to the doctor hopefully encompasses all of one's physical health. Moreover...Doctor's aren't infallible. Mine once recommended that I start three new meds at one time. He was wrong. I chose not to follow that advice. Lastly... not ALL in the medical profession recommend taking the vaccine. MOST do but not ALL. Hey now.. This one wasn't me.. No it wasn't. I was apologizing cuz I'm trying to keep this thread on topic but I HAD to respond to that last one.

I chose not to follow that advice. Lastly... not ALL in the medical profession recommend taking the vaccine. MOST do but not ALL. I know nothing about what meds the Dr recommended for you so cannot comment on that recommendation, but you clearly state you did not believe his recommendation so did not follow it....just as you have chosen not to believe most Dr's recommendation that you receive a Covid vaccination to protect yourself and, as importantly, others around you. You obviously feel you know more than any Dr so please do not clog up the medical system the rest of your life as there are many others who appreciate and respect their recommendations. Didn't say I knew more, I'm saying that his prescribing of three meds was wrong. This was told to me by my pharmacist who has years of training in this field compared to my then doctor who gets much less training about drugs in med school. If you believe your doctor to be infallible, well then that's fantastic for you. I know they are not. People hate hearing this but the numbers do not support the concern or steps taken so far. They truly don't. (Yes that's my opinion) Please don't presume you know about my life or decisions that affect it. For example I have both of my shots. I took them knowing that we have NO IDEA what long term affects might occur. But I've lived a good life and am willing to take the risk. I was also willing to take the risk and NOT have the shots but I decided to avoid the hassle and Governmental pressures that will be coming down the pike soon. What I'm saying is that I don't believe that I should not be forced to have a vaccine just so I can go watch my nephew's 3rd Grade production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

Well, how about this .... for 18s, CC did not allow any parents inside the gym!!! What are you talking about? 18s looked almost like 2018 with parents everywhere. Crossroads 18s? I thought they didn't allow spectators. I read a bunch of furious Facebook posts about it. That being said, I'm certain it wasn't the tournament's decision. It was the city/county. The tournament wants that admission.

Even if that could prevent you from spreading the virus unknowingly to people at the production, including your nephew?

No tripods is annoying given that D1 scouts will not be there and BallerTV is not a good medium for creating highlight videos for recruiting purposes. As someone already stated; you can use a mono-pod to record games and hopefully stream on some app to families not able to attend. Lemonade =)

This whole bemusing discussion is making me remember what things were like when I was growing up. Amateur sports just happened, and nobody recorded them at all. Certainly nobody livestreamed them. Either you watched them in person or you heard about them later, and those were your two options.

Nope... if masks are as effective as they are touted to be, people can choose to protect themselves. For that matter, I'll even wear one myself out of courtesy. My nephew is in the age group that has the greatest recovery rate from Covid. The odds are in his favor.

And I'm not too sure that it has been overall for the better.
Another example is the current supreme court case with the cheerleader.

Good times but since they had hopes and dreams of playing in college it was also very stressful. This year you have the additional stress of club volleyball. Indoor youth volleyball tournaments have been linked to outbreaks. So even more stressful for organizers and participants. Honestly not sure how I would be handling a situation such as this if I and my child had not been vaccinated.

You can be sure that it has not been for the better! Saw that case on the news the other night, it would make a good off the net thread.

The current SCOTUS seems to feel like corporations have all the free speech in the world, but we'll see what they think about actual people also having free speech rights.
