My apologies for the misunderstanding I guess i should have been clearer. My definition of an anti vaxer is somebody who is refusing for no other reason then political (your infringing on my rights) or somebody who believes in the conspiracy theory's floating around, such as your being injected with tracers or it makes you magnetic somehow. Then there's the ones who fear the ingredients used to manufacture the drug, yet have no problem ingesting something like a Big Mac for example, despite all the crap and chemical preservatives they use that keeps them looking the same after months/years. At some point they need to do the research and make an educated decision rather then have a knee jerk reaction. I have a couple of relatives like that who just leave me shaking my head at some of the idiotic reasoning they throw at me. I also sympathize with pregnant women, as this hasn't been approved for children under 12 yet. I think they should also be medically exempt at this time if they chose to hold off.

If you chose not to be vaccinated then your also agreeing to the consequences as far as i'm concerned. They (anti vaxers) talk about rights, but what about the rights of the vaccinated to protect themselves and minimize the risk to their health and that of their family and friends? If you chose to put alcohol in your body you can't drive a car (although some do) and if you chose to do so, then again,,, you suffer the consequences. Is there much difference? Should have posted this in the Virus thread but because it's hockey related in this case,,,,,,,, So, to be clear, Ylonen, refusing to get vaccinated, which is his right, risks having an NHL career, which is his right. This, would be his consequence, which is his right. Giving up his dream, to exercise his right to pro choice, is admirable and unfortunate. Here's hoping, that Ylonen has a plan B.

Well,,, restrictions in my business indoors is that fully vaccinated spectators are now allowed as long as they can social distance with masks. If the Leafs get an exemption that allows them 100% attendance i'll be pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other, just another selfish anti-vaxxer who is betting on himself, somewhat foolishly. One is a player the general manager staked his reputation on, with much pedigree and a handful of Stanley Cup rings.

Sure, Duncan Keith should have gotten vaccinated a month sooner. But give him some credit for putting the team — society and the Oilers — ahead of himself. Even if he waited until the 11th hour to do it. Then there is depth winger Josh Archibald, who will be replaced by Game 1 of the regular season if he doesn’t give his head a shake.

You need to be fully vaccinated indoors AND socially distanced as spectators. That's the rules my business is working under and i would expect that also applies to NHL teams in Ontario.
