Warning: Political Takes Washington State head coach FIRED for refusing vaccine

[oxrageous]

Also, “take the vax or you can’t participate in society” is not a choice, it’s extortion.

I think this says it all.

Actions and choices have consequences. It is admirable for him to step up and accept those for his beliefs versus go running to whatever attorney he can find.

Brilliant! I assume that you apply this same rule to unwanted prevnancies.

Rolovich can sue if he wants to. I guess anybody can sue anybody for anything at anytime if they can find a lawyer to take their case. Washington State University and the State of Washington have their own cadre of lawyers who have looked into this vaccine mandate in detail. I would think it would be pretty hard as an individual to go up against a bunch of government attorneys who have the money and the power of the state backing them.

There's too much money involved not to sue. He will have no trouble finding a lawyer to take his case.

 

[Gator By Marriage]

I want to hear more about this porn stuff you did for hospitals/clinics to make extra. I think we all understand the need for vaccinations in that industry! If need be we can move this thread to the Saloon.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

This statement is more relevant when talking about poor choices, like wasteful credit card spending or committing a crime. Accepting/declining a vaccine (personal health choices) is a piss poor application of your statement.

It is kind of his schtick.

 

[Gatordiddy]

That's the choice - keep your job or leave

not much of a choice

"Well, you can have the week old Rocky Mountain Oysters or the haggas, your choice."

From what I recall in the old days there wasn't any anti vax sentiment - we went to the doctor and he shot us in the arm with an air gun with measles, mumps, rubella, small pox, etc. People believed what the doctors told them and didn't have a bunch of bull shiz google info to misinform them. A billion people have had some form of this vaccine and they haven't grown horns and the multitude of nurses I know say almost all of the dying are un-vaccinated. Poo Poo me all you want, the anti-vax thought process is illogical. It's your choice not to get it but when you die and leave your wife with 4 kids behind who is going to take care of them...

Ah yes, the info that doesn’t parrot the narrative MUST be misinformation. There have been medical experts (including those involved in the covid vax testing phase, or vax development technology in general) who have expressed concerns, but the msm doesn’t cover give them airtime. Therefore, they’re just looney, right?

 

[Bait'n Gator]

That's the choice - keep your job or leave. If you really are committed to not getting it you quit/get fired like Washington State's coach.

Makes so much sense for our gov't to have this mentality right now, you know with the booming economy and record setting employment numbers.

I'm willing to bet your not a business owner, I am and it's fuching impossible to find people to work right now. All we need is the gov't mandating we fire the few we've got left willing to work if they refuse to take a vaccine. We're so fuched.

 

[-THE DUDE-]

33-33 as a head coach. Right in that meaty part of the curve. Not showing off, not falling behind.

Perfect Seinfeld reference

 

[Double Gator Dad]

Except that this is not a vaccine.

That's the point. Everyone has to examine their own circumstances and choose accordingly. When that's taken away(not by Wsu but by Washington govt), that's the overreach that's out of control. Again, at this stage there is no one inside the US that has been denied access to the vaccine. Those who want it have gotten it. Those who don't have taken that risk, just like motorcycle owners/skydivers/hazard-job workers/etc. If the vaccine works, then everyone should be fine at this point. And that's coming from someone who got the shot. I gave it the time I felt was necessary, and made my own personal decision to do so based on personal situation, with no one forcing me. So far, the only side affects are irritability on Saturday afternoons. That's the point.

Further, ironically the same people pushing this angle of forced vaccinations--often using that same "who's gonna care for your family" argument-- are in the same breath insisting on passing trillions of dollars in spending for free housing, food and free daycare for people. Since we're going back to the old days, how about we all just worry about and take care of ourselves and our own families. Ok thanks.

On one plane you have to admire the coach for standing up for his beliefs. From what I've read Rolovich seemed to indicate that his objections to the vaccine were based on religious reasons, but in my cursory reading I have not been able to find just what his reasons for a religious exemption are. Apparently he was raised Catholic but it is not clear if he adheres to strict Catholic practices today. I know that some people try to claim the COVID vaccines contain aborted fetal cells but technically that is not true; rather they have fetal cell lines that were used in some parts of production. Link: You asked, we answered: Do the COVID-19 vaccines contain aborted fetal cells?

I know that companies and government entities mandate all the time what employees can or cannot do in the workplace. Washington State University is not saying that Rolovich can't refuse the vaccine. What they are saying is that he can't refuse the vaccine and remain employed by the State of Washington. I also know that sometimes people are allowed to opt out of certain mandates due to religious exemptions.

Rolovich can sue if he wants to. I guess anybody can sue anybody for anything at anytime if they can find a lawyer to take their case. Washington State University and the State of Washington have their own cadre of lawyers who have looked into this vaccine mandate in detail. I would think it would be pretty hard as an individual to go up against a bunch of government attorneys who have the money and the power of the state backing them.

You are 100% correct in your description of a totalitarian government that intimidates companies and individuals into compliance.

The new America

 

[Double Gator Dad]

They certainly will - for this overreaching government.

Agreed

All of this government overreach will eventually make its way to the Supreme Court and unless the current administration can reconfigure the court before the case arrives, all of this will be struck down as unconstitutional.
The problem is that the administration may beat them to the punch and the 13 Supreme Court justices will side with the government.

 

[Uncle Rob]

It has already been proven vaccinated people are 7 times more likely to contract the virus again than someone who got it and not vaccinated because of natural immunities

Do you have a link to that? Otherwise you are just Charlie Brown's parents.

 

[GatorAuthor]

I think this says it all.

Is that like “Get vaccinated or you can’t come to public school”?

 

[BNAG8R]

Someday, when my son is old enough, I’ll tell him about the old days, when Americans had liberty and treasured their freedom, back before apparatchiks could mandate where Americans could go, what they had to wear, and what they had to put in their bodies, back in the old days, when Americans were free.



Alex.

I’m already forgetting those times. We should probably write it down somewhere.

"Well, you can have the week old Rocky Mountain Oysters or the haggas, your choice."

Mmmm...............haggas. "I think most Scottish cuisine is based on a dare."

Nurse: What seems to be the problem, Sir?
Itraz: Ive got something large and throbbing inside my pants and need your (ass)istance...

 

[Durty South Swamp]

I don't buy the conspiracy laced "government trying to control us" tinged argument

then you're a fool because mandates are literally the real life personification of forced control.

There is enough evidence out there that while being vaxxed doesn't prevent you from getting it, it does protect you from death and hospital stays.

and as a fool its no surprise you say something patently retarded like this even though the number of covid hospitalizations and deaths from folks fully vaxinated at the time of infection is in the thousands. You hear about them constantly. FFS Colin Powell yesterday was one.

Pull your head out of your ass for once in your life.

I am and we just hired 3 people...we don't have a vax mandate but it's encouraged. They work in the field have to drive in a truck with 2 or three other guys. If one gets the virus the whole crew is shut down and it's happened. I also wonder what's my moral responsibility to the others on providing a safe work space by having one show up sick and one of the others dies of the virus. They have to wear boots to protect their feet not sure that there is much difference.
