My amount of posts on this board is irrelevant to the information I posted. Thankfully, covid rates have plummeted across the United States. So, your position is that the cheerleaders should be required to take an experimental injection or be denied employment, but they would be allowed to sit in the stands as spectators unvaccinated? What sense does that make? Your summation of what a “good role model” is does not overrule informed consent. The cheerleaders’ personal health decisions should be private. Are the DCC required to take seasonal influenza vaccines before visiting nursing homes or children’s hospitals? Why should this be any different?

There is no FDA approved vaccine to prevent covid-19 in the United States. From Moderna’s website: The Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine has not been approved or licensed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but has been authorized for emergency use by FDA, under an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), to prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID‑19) for use in individuals 18 years of age and older. There is no FDA-approved vaccine to prevent COVID‑19. The injections are authorized for emergency use only. The Pfizer-BioNTech coronavirus vaccine has been given an “estimated study completion date” of Jan. 31, 2023. For the COVID-19 vaccine created by Moderna, studies are expected to end on Oct. 27, 2022. There is a tremendous distinction between a choosing a hair style and requiring an experimental, medication injection as a term and condition of employment as a NFL cheerleader. An experimental medication injection that is approved for emergency use only and is still in trials. I can easily see why a young woman, whose statistical risk of death from covid is nearly zero, would have hesitancy to receive a jab with no long-term data on the side effects. What could it do her fertility long-term? Does the NFL require any other vaccinations for players or cheerleaders? Hepatitis? Seasonal influenza? Whooping cough? Why not?
