would players be getting stood down for not getting a flu jab?
So why are they now?
Apparently, if you get the flu, your immune system is reduced and the there's a higher risk to catch Covid-19.
And if one player gets Coronavirus, it's more likely to spread among the players.
So caution is required.
And yet the flu injection is only around 45% effective.
So 55% of players will get the flu regardless, therefore potentially be more at risk of getting covid19 (apparently)
So if any player gets the flu will they be stood down too?
I would have thought staying away from people with Covid19 is probably a good way to not get it.
I think it's disgraceful that they're forcing people to get the flu jab.
They aren't forcing anyone, they have a choice.
And if I hold a gun to your head and tell you to hand over your wife n children, I'm not forcing you, you have a choice.
So if you choose to not hand them over and I pull the trigger, you killed yourself by not "choosing" to hand them over?
They're being forced into a "choice" and either option isn't what they want to "choose"
That is an awful comparison
It's not a comparison, it's pointing out that in both examples people are being forced to choose between two options that they don't want
