NY Yankees will require you to be vaccinated

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.

Peace

My question is what is that proof? An official government ID? Because if it is just that paper vaccination card, that really isn't "proof" of anything. Those are about as easy to fake as a note from mom saying the dog ate my homework.
 
Oh, that's easy. Either you voluntarily give the information, or you don't get in.

So, the ticket taker at the gate at Yankees stadium is going to be able to verify your medical history?

This is just some "feels good" thing the Yankees have come out and claimed, they ought to be more concerned about getting their team to the post season. If people want to be safe, then they all need to get vaccinated---PERIOD. Attempting to ensure everyone else is getting vaccinated AT A BALL PARK is pretty silly indeed. Heck, they can't hardly keep people from smuggling in bottles of liquor at the gate, they are going to check medical records now too.

I'd like to see a photo of the rocket scientist at the Yankees organization who came up with this. I'll bet he was just promoted from peanuts to hot dogs.

We have already done this, rather successfully here in NY. The Net's use this system at present and we used it at the Buffalo home games in the NFL.

You post from ignorance, not a good look. Be more aware of what you speak to.
 
What should the government tell the family members of those killed after getting the vaccine?


What should the government tell the families of people who die of COVID because COVIDiots refused vaccination?
 
I think we will see more and more businesses requiring proof of vaccine, especially large venues and in the travel and leisure industries. I for one, even once vaccinated, will not go on any cruise or go to any resort or on any other trip involving large contained groups that do not require proof of vaccination.

and another thing, have you flown lately?

It's the same rules.
 
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.
I don't think that is just a Yankees requirement. NYS requirement I believe.

the 20% is, yes. I do not think the Covid test is required by the state. I hope it is because then it would affects things like concerts and possibly weddings.
 
I haven't spoken with a single person who has said they won't get the shot. In fact, most are pissed because they have to wait so long.

These polls make me wonder.
I have ran into a few people I know On Facebook who are huge Trump supporters who have said they will not get the shot, but at the same time telling people we should all bow to the Donald for getting the vaccine. The coments to their posts show there are many more that feel that way

There is something wrong with people who post what they eat, or what their cats did on Facebook.

I don't go there.

Cant say I disagree with that. I rarely look at it myself, but sometimes my wife sends me stuff there and a get curious. LOL
 
Typical liberals. Never realize that they are actually the problem. Elitist and smug. Agree with them 100%, or next starts the personal attacks. They don't want to have a debate; are not even emotionally capable of anything other than group think and virtue signally.

Sea-lion detected.
 
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?
Choice is a good thing. Some don't like choice but authority. As for yankee stadium , let it stay empty.
 
What the BLeEP is this mask obsession. ( thanks Fauci)
If yo are vaccinated or don't have it, what is the point of mask theater?
 
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.
Fine with me.
 
Fine with me.

Fine with me as well but even if it WASN'T "fine with me"...imagine we had to go through another TEN years like this.
Based on the statements, actions and stated objectives of the folks on the TrumpRight, it sounds like that IS their intention, to MAKE the USA go through another eight to ten years of this if they can't just be handed complete control of everything.

It's a bunch of grown men and women who are literally threatening to destroy everything if "they can't have their way".
So yeah, not only IS it fine with me, I think we'd better start considering reopening leper colonies.
Trump wanted a wall to keep terrorists out?
Also fine with me, the only difference is where that wall gets built and who it's keeping out.
Damn straight I said that, even lepers were smart enough to TAKE the medicine when it became available.

When their world revolves around unreasonable moral outrage, they don't care that they don't make sense.

I was scanning through the radio yesterday in my car and landed on Mark Levin ranting about Critical Race Theory. It took him four minutes to contradict himself. But he was angry and shrill when he did so, so he was golden with the dumdums who follow him.
 
The conservative naysayers? Yep, you're right.

They'd happily throw out their own backs playing mental Twister to somehow make liberals, and not themselves, into hypocrites--and they'd blame liberals for the chiropractor bills.

We see them struggle to do it here every day.

Fauci forgot to wear a mask once, so their mental meat grinder tells them that they never have to wear a mask, get vaccinated, or show common decency to any human being.

It's logical to them.

He needs the Chief Haden treatment.
(From "48 HRS")

"Just cause you say it with conviction, it don't mean shit to me!"
 
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.
Not only to avoid the hassle to make yourself and others safe. It’s the right things to do.

It's the same rules.

Silly "feels good" rules in most cases. All can be faked information.

I repeat: I am not against vaccination, I believe in them, not just for this; I am not arguing not to get vaccinated.

But there are some loons out there who will not get vaccinated, there always are. I'm not defending them, I'm just acknowledging that they exist. And despite some here suggesting that they are all "right wing"---well that just isn't even true. There are for example plenty in the Black community who don't trust vaccines, and they are not right wing. Another liberal a few pages back here said no way they are getting anything injected into them.

Now if we are talking about an instant test to screen people or no entry, that is one thing. But be advised, those aren't 100% accurate either. So, then what is left is some kind of documentation to be inspected, and those are easily faked and unrealiable at best. And who is going to be checking those at the ball park gate? The same people who check you bag for contraband beer and beach balls? Hate to point this out, but those people are generally 3 steps down from a TSA drone, and one step up from a Walmart greeter.

Yankees would be better served to use their platform, and their celebrity/athlete voices to do PSAs and get the message out to people about why they should be vaccinated.

Also, what is going to happen when some paid ticket holder shows up at the entrance gate with their ticket and some handwritten pharmacy vaccination card, that some half witted security guard at the gate doesn't like, or doesn't understand--- or any other problem. And are they going to deny entry then?

We don't have national ID cards, most states couldn't even get the Real ID law identification that the FAA has required correct inside of 2 years time. Some state IDs are still not acceptable on domestic flights; I have to continue to carry a passport.

Same here. I'm conservative, as are all my friends and family, and ALL are getting the shots, or have gotten them. The media likes to keep spinning bullsh*t on this subject.

Never mind the media......the Debate Politics liberals spread enough manure to fertilize the planet.

There is no evidence that woman in Utah died from the vaccination. On occasion people die for other reasons. In her case she had a sudden onset of acute liver failure; there are many reasons that might happen. Acetaminophen overdose is a common one. Had a coworker's wife die from acute liver failure a few days after a botox treatment. Many reasons for acute liver failure.

The Utah state medical examiner's office just yesterday said that there have be NO covid vaccine related deaths. They haven't said why that specific woman died, citing privacy rules. But they said nobody has died from the vaccine, so that woman died of something else obviously.
