NY Yankees will require you to be vaccinated

[noonereal]

The NY Yankees will require ticket holders to be vaccinated or to have taken a COVID test in order to enter the stadium.
In addition, masks will be required and seating will be only 20% capacity.

Now this is how you handle life during a pandemic.

This is great news!

Much respect.

I expect we will see all kinds of industries follow. I am looking forward to this requirement at the local gym.

That reasonably, and I suspect there's going to be a lot of societal & economic pressure to get the shot or take a test. I the suspect that many of us will simply take the shot - to avoid the hassle.

Isn't it funny that some of the same people who are telling everyone we should be thanking Trump for the vaccine, are refusing to take said vaccine?

Yeah of course it's going to grow legs, big seven league legs.
No business wants to even run a remote risk of being sued, so damn straight they're going to require proof of vax or a negative test.

How are they going to prove it? How do they overcome laws protecting people's medical privacy?

This is just typical dumb liberal feels good malarkey, and it will all get messy in court. The best way to get people to take the vaccination is through educating people, not coercing them.

Is Yankee stadium going to require people to show they have had measles vaccinations? What about influenza? If I get influenza at Yankee stadium can I sue the Yankees for that too?

It's funny, because it's straight up retarded.
I bet KIDS are asking their covidiot parents to explain this lapse of logic, that's how stupid it is.

Let me know when you're ready to debate like an adult.
Everyone knows that COVID vax equals a vax card, and everyone knows we are not talking about measles or the flu.

By the way you might want to look up some case law on property owners having the right to refuse entry to anyone they want.
Yankee Stadium is not public property, it's a venue. And the team reserves the right to eject anyone they damn well please, for any reason.
And in the interest of the health of the rest of their patrons, that means it's legal for them to demand proof of vax as a condition of entry.
And here's where it gets even more fun, it's also in the interest of them protecting the team members and team employees, none of whom wish to be in contact with walking petri dishes.

Those who will bitch are idiots that won’t be given the time day by most Americans or businesses connected to the league.

No offense intended, but I believe that getting the vaccination just to “avoid the hassle” is weak. I would never allow anything to be injected into my body to appease anyone.

You are right, no airplane flight or ball game is worth getting a vaccine. You can just stay home. Problem solved.

For any reason? Are we sure about that?

You don't think these kinds of things don't end up courts? And what happens if Yankee Stadium takes this extreme step in order to as you say, prevent liability, but then they drop the ball, fail to make 100% sure they too are having every employee, vendor, cop who works overtime security, or anyone else working with them vaccinated, and someone ends up catching Ebola from a Yankee hot dog cart?

Sometimes opening yourself up to even more civil liabilty may result after taking an extreme position like this one.

And in the interest of the health of the rest of their patrons, that means it's legal for them to demand proof of vax as a condition of entry.

I'm not against vaccinations, I have already had my fist shot. But what I am against is intrusion into other people's personal business. So, how about this instead: Yankees urge everyone who attends their games to get themselves vaccinated. Not only for that person's own protection, but for the good of society. And then they further do some public service announcements on the benefits of vaccinations, and how they have provided help in doing outreach to undeserved communities, and show interest in their fans that way?

I believe you catch more flies with honey. Don't you?

And here's where it gets even more fun, it's also in the interest of them protecting the team members and team employees, none of whom wish to be in contact with walking petri dishes.

If the players, coaches, and employees all get vaccinated, then what are they worrying about anyway?

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

You guys better get used to vax-proof being required all kindza ways, for all kindza things.
The rest of the country isn't interested in catering to a bunch of crybaby lepers, and with the variants sneaking in thanks to your continuing super-spreader behaviors, exclusion from public activity is going to become a LOT MORE HARDCORE.

Don't believe me, keep dreaming and watch what happens.

I'm not being a smart ass with you, but we can't even get voter ID laws passed in this country, and you think that handwriiten 'vax card' you got at CVS when you got your shot is some kind of official document we can all trust?

This will just end up like those fake service animal vests; people will just print out some cheesy "vax card" template off the internet and use that to get in the gate. Like I said, I'm not an antivaxer, I believe everyone should get this vaccination. But there are anti vaxers out there, some baseball fans, and they will use deceit, I am almost certain, to show fake documents. Especially these people who believe so strongly against the vaccination.

I think they are wrong, but that is why people like you and I are getting our shots too. To protect ourselves from them, as well as us protecting others, right?

This coming from someone who calls themselves "Court Jester".
Guess what...you might as well call yourself "Joe Isuzu".
Only, he was actually funny.
You're not.

Get used to the vax requirements, it's an idea whose time has come.
Oh, by the way, there is nothing that requires any state to stick with paper cards either.
As I alluded to earlier in another thread, this administration's been in office for less than 1500 hours...they got shots into arms and they're going to worry about vax cards later.
Your card has your name and birthdate on it, so if they decide to up the ante on vax cards, and you show up in their database as having been vaxxed, you will receive something more sophisticated. If there's an issue, they may test you to see if you have the vaccine in your system, and THEN issue something more substantial. Right now in the last 1440 hours they've managed to beat the 100 million shots in 100 days deadline, so don't be surprised if they manage to pull another rabbit out of their hat as vax requirements become a trend.

It may wind up as a QR code, or an imprint stamped into your state ID or driver's license or something you keep on your phone.
There's a lot of ways proof can be upgraded and made secure.

That had not crossed my mind, that is ironic.

 

[Helix]

If antivaxers want to stay inside of their properties for the rest of their lives, then I suppose that's their choice. However, they don't have a right to work or play at places that require a vaccine.

Their are cheats liars, felons in all areas of life. That some will obtain a false ID to evade the law is to be expected. It is hardly a reason to suggest we do not require proof of vaccination.

No, it's about KEEPING PEOPLE SAFE FROM A KILLER DISEASE. Let idiots sue; see how far they get. A private business can do whatever the hell it needs in order to keep its clientele and staff safe, within the law. The same applies to those eminently sensible airlines which require evidence of vaccination before allowing people to fly with them.

 

[Luce]

How do they overcome laws protecting people's medical privacy?

Oh, that's easy. Either you voluntarily give the information, or you don't get in.

Isn't it funny how so many people that swore up and down that the vaccine was poison and a political stunt during the campaign are now the ones scrambling to be first in line to get it?
