The medical treatment for anything like this was wholly justified and we are all blessed to have it available by professionals who take their work very seriously. Kudos to every single one of those people who have that commitment. In fact, great kudos to anyone who does a job -- any job -- honestly and truthfully using their talent, skill, and knowledge to authentically labor making someone else's life better.
The Covid lockdown stuff is not that.
The reason I'm adding this is because the NFL is experiencing a "pandemic," if you will, of pseudo-science, that all these Covid protocols must be in place for... for... what exactly? Oh you'll hear "Stop the spead," or "Save lives," or other such pithy plappings. In many ways it is just the opposite. Many of the Covid protocols whatever they are have actually led to more deaths, and more destitution. I saw in an interview a top medical officer categorically declare that the censorship of effective treatments has led to far more deaths and as such is the worst part of the whole lockdown circus.
Instead what we get is these sports leagues, like the NFL, following all the make-up-on-the-fly Covid rules they are supposed to follow without doing the careful thinking that they are all worthless. It is all just theatrical virtue-signaling with everyone passing the buck to excuse their complicity -- "Oh but so-and-so health officer told us we must do this!" Come again? Seek the pathway up the line of authority and no one steps up to take responsibility. You'll notice it is always shuffled up to someone else.
Regarding the NFL they've already pushed back three scheduled games -- I imagine so players could try to test negative for Covid by the time they play the rescheduled game. The Rams-Seahawks game for instance, scheduled for this afternoon, was pushed to Tuesday night. Why? They'll say it is because too many players are tested this way or that way or this Covid-related things is this way or that way -- huh, I wonder what the rule is for that? The Chiefs were down, what, four players I believe Thursday night and without them we almost lost the game. Why isn't our game pushed back to, oh, say a Thursday night in 2027 so we can reeeally be sure no player with Covid-something-who-knows-what is going to go out and wantonly kill someone?!
The point is some medical things like Parham's injury are serious for seriously factual medical attention. The Covid thing is not one of those things no matter how much fear mongering they spew. It just isn't. The NFL is even starting to realize this in that they have announced they now will be doing much less testing. Huh? I thought this disease was an apocalyptic plague?! Because it isn't, by far, many are coming around.
Over in the NBA, notorious pro-legitimate-health Kyrie Irving -- kudos to him for standing his ground on how ineffective, unnecessary, and dangerous these particular "vaccines" are -- was reinstated, but still had to endure the punishment of testing and testing and testing out of his rear end -- and apparently still he got Covid -- along with several teammates who themselves were "vaccinated."
Here's the thing about all this. An NBA official, or a Brooklyn Nets official, whichever I don't remember, remarked about Kyrie's stance, "Each person has their own individual convictions, beliefs..." yada-yada-yada, something like that -- you know the song-and-dance.
The problem with this statement is it is made to try to absolve the Covid lockdown supporter of any responsibility for his actions. It is expressed to make it seem like Kyrie Irving has his own odd superstitious fantasy beliefs about things "but we want to respect him."
No. Please. You're patronizing him, you're actually being disrespectful. The correct answer is this: "We were wrong. While there are some instances where a given Covid thing is something to address, most all the things we've been doing for two years to address it have been preposterous. We're sorry.
"Now, let's play ball."
That's it. That's what needs to happen. This needs to come from every single person who ever believed masks or "vaccines" (in quotes because it is really not a vaccine), or wildly inaccurate testing or contemptibly worthless distancing or hapless contact tracing inquisitions or any of that stuff would do squat about the Covid thing.
Indeed one remark made in the mix of all the NFL sidelining players and pushing games back and otherwise doing any of the inane things it does was that here they're sidelining players for the tiniest confrontation with an illness that will simply not harm them, when every football game features some of the most gruesome injuries to the players on the field.
We can certainly have the discussion about why I and so many others enjoy such a violent sport far more than we should, I get it.
But still, it is yet another of the legion of examples of hypocrisies about this Covid response tyranny. Government officials enjoying going maskless while everyone else is suffocating in their face diapers. "Vaccinated" people screeching about others being vaxxed while real vaccines should be protecting the vaxxed anyway. One of the best ones of all: masked people walking into a restaurant then 10 feet in taking off their masks to dine. Good thing the Covid bug can't stand going near dinner tables! Maybe we should all be strapping dinner tables to our faces!
Fortunately many people are really starting to get the absurdity of all this -- indeed the lethality it brings. They are starting to reject these things in larger numbers, and we can only hope the government officials who feed off the virtue-signaling vote-glomming they can do by telling us how much they're doing gol-darn-it to save our lives will start backing off as they should be.
Maybe the NFL is starting to do so as well.
