    NFL stops daily COVID testing for unvaccinated players
    https://www.axios.com/nfl-covid-19-...mic-ce18dbbb-f36d-4b10-a51c-cca63343cb5c.html

    The National Football League said in a memo Friday that unvaccinated players on the remaining eight teams left in the playoffs no longer need to take daily COVID-19 tests.

    Driving the news: COVID-19 protocols were updated "to eliminate the distinction between vaccinated and unvaccinated players to determine testing cadence," according to the memo that was obtained by Axios.
    • The updated guidance applies to approximately a dozen unvaccinated players, NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said.
    • The remaining players are on testing holiday, which refers to an individual who tests positive and doesn't need to take a COVID-19 test for 90 days.
    • All players and tiered staff will be subject to "targeted surveillance testing" and "enhanced symptom screening," per the memo.
    The big picture: It's the NFL's latest change to its coronavirus protocols after the league announced in December that coaches, team personnel and front office staff in Tier 1 and 2 were required to receive COVID-19 booster shots.
    What they're saying: "This comprehensive, symptom-based approach to testing, reflects our recent experience with the Omicron variant and conforms to current public health recommendations and best practices employed in healthcare," McCarthy said.
    • The guidance "offers the best opportunity for identifying and treating cases promptly and avoiding spread within the facility," he added.

    Well it looks like anti-vaxxer Aaron Rodgers is the laughing stock of the NFL and out of a job shortly in Green Bay. No NFL team wants to to put up with his shiat... not matter what talent he brings in a quarterback role.

    And of course the NFL still has this clown to deal with...

    Summary: He never had a significant ankle injury and was seen dancing when he supposedly was injured. "He is being blasted this week after a video showed the WR on his tippy toes and dancing on the same injured ankle he claimed he couldn’t perform on."
