    In original version of this story, it did not mention that UGA has previously offered booster shots to the players, before doing so again on today. So although I responded to the information on hand at the time, I (gladly) stand corrected. Shots -- either initial or boosters -- are NOT a 100 percent guarantee that someone won't get COVID, or even die from it. No valid medical authority has ever said that they are. But they do HELP prevent it and they DEFINITELY HELP prevent getting seriously ill from it. Again, they HELP, they don't guarantee it. It's like people who lock their doors at night. Doing so doesn't guarantee your house won't be broken in to, but people do it anyway as a deterrent. That's what vaccinations are, deterrents.

    Actually a recent study done in Israel did reveal that having the booster does significantly decrease your risk from acquiring the infection, compared to having the prior 1-2 vaccines. Doesn’t completely remove the risk of getting it, but does significantly decrease your risk

    LifeSite News is a far right advocacy website that traffics in conspiracy theories and COVID disinformation. Linking to an opinion piece citing anecdotal experiences does not qualify as compelling, authoritative, or professional. If you're looking to make a point about some issue related to a STEM field, try one of the respected peer-review journals. For medicine, you might consider JAMA, The New England Journal of Medicine, or The Lancet, etc. LifeSite News doesn't cut it.

    How much playing time has JT had? Maybe a little more and his stats are better. Just a thought. Seems like in crucial instances there has been separation and Stet throws it short or misses completely.

    Wow, I’ve never seen more “off topic” comments in the history of DawgNation blogs so I’ll add this one since it now appears to “on topic”. My wife and youngest daughter work every day with Covid patients at a major hospital. It’s amazingly sad and both mentally and physically stressful for them to deal with death on a daily basis. It’s also sad how disinformation and/or politics have confused so many people. I spoke with a physician recently and we were discussing how the vast majority of patients on ventilators who eventually die are not vaccinated. I agree vaccinations are a “choice” and shouldn’t be mandated, but it should be noted that the last words of many of those patients as they are preparing to be ventilated are, “is it too late to get vaccinated?”
