Sir, this is a Wendy's!!!

The AMA is incredibly politicized as are other agencies of government. The same AMA recently argued for patient/doctor privacy in response to the recent 6 week abortion law in Texas, while simultaneously, objecting to patient/doctor privacy regarding the prescription of Ivermectin. These type of inconsistencies lead people to distrust these agencies and organizations. I personally take a libertarian approach and side with the idea that the patient and the doctor should have privacy and that the doctor should know what is best for the patient, not the government or some agency of government.

I simply stated the myriad of reasons that people are skeptical of vaccinations, of which, you failed to disprove any. The sad reality is, I am not hand picking irrelevant data, inconsistencies have been the norm since day one and it is these inconsistencies from "authorities," that have led to many not receiving the vaccination. Unfortunately, for some reason this triggered you and others to get all defensive, are you suggesting that what I am saying about some people is not true? Are you suggesting that there have been no inconsistencies?
The simple truth of the matter is, the continuous back and forth, inconsistencies, double standards, disregard of data, accompanied with the supposition that science is an authority have led many to be skeptical. They are as equally entitled to their opinions as others. I personally, along with my family, have all been vaccinated. However, to suggest that skepticism is not warranted is grossly ignorant. It is OK to admit that many people are skeptical and that their skepticism is the reason that they are not getting vaccinated, admitting this does not somehow mean that you endorse or love Donald Trump. Being skeptical does not mean that one has a greater disregard for human life nor does it imply that they care less for their fellow man as you imply.
I made an objective observation and the Gestapo is now out in full force, go for it, I am not afraid of Fascist. The simple truth is, the "authorities," ie (CDC, Fauci, AMA, NIH, etc.) have undermined the public trust, this fact has nothing to do with your support for or against the various vaccine options. I am simply stating a fact. 
Consider these contradictions. (I personally can attribute many of these to government attempts to just do something pro-active, however, some will not see them that way and therefore have become skeptical)
You can attend a wedding with strangers but are only allowed to have 7 friends over for a party.
You can send your kids to school on a bus, but you should avoid taking public transportation.
You can watch a football game in a bar full of patrons but cannot observe from the bleachers or sidelines, even though you are outdoors.
Players must be separated by 6 feet on the sidelines and wear a mask but are permitted to sweat and have contact on the gym floor and that is acceptable. 
You must wear a mask when entering a restaurant, but can remove said mask after being seated. 
Students who are not vaccinated are dis-enrolled from Universities but 70,000 fans are allowed to sit on top of each other during a football game. While admitting that BOTH vaxxed and unvaxxed can spread Covid.
The vaccinated can transmit Covid, the unvaccinated can transmit covid, but the unvaccinated are bad, inconsiderate people, why? Because they can transmit covid! 
 
Fauci FLIP FLOPS
In late January 2020, Fauci said that COVID was a ‘very, very low risk to the United States,’"
Dr. Fauci originally said that masks weren’t effective & publicly encouraged Americans not to buy them (guidance he doesn’t regret). Now even vaccinated people need to wear masks
I wonder which science should we follow?
Fauci, no new masks mandates for Delta Variant
Fauci, suggests mask mandates for Delta Variant
Fauci, Masks not really effective.
Fauci, Masks, Goggles, needed to fight Covid
Fauci, Double masking is highly recommended
Or one of these gems.
Lets move social distancing in schools from 6 feet to 3 feet since we now realize that we do not have enough physical space in the schools to properly enforce the 6 foot rule. 
CDC says that if you are vaccinated you can ditch masks, CDC says that Vaccinated people must wear masks.
CDC recommends that everyone wear a mask on page 1 of their website, on page 6 of that same website, the CDC specifies that only fitted and sized respirators are acceptable deterrents to Covid and that all other masks are ineffective against aerosols. 
Biden says no masks indoor or out for vaccinated, minutes earlier and later the CDC says otherwise.
Masks for everyone, unless you are attending a party at Martha's Vineyard with 700 friends of Obama (masks for thee but not for me)
Gavin Newsome locks down California, then attends an indoor party with several friends INDOORS, no masks (Masks for thee but not for me)
I think it is safe to say that shaming someone for being skeptical, considering the small percentage of inconsistencies that I have mentioned here is actually an example of ignorance or cognitive dissonance. My comments were never meant to be pro-vaxx or anti-vaxx but rather explanatory. The knee jerk response of many, such as yourself, is strongly biased toward your opinion, you are quick to throw others under the bus and cancel them and their concerns, when we all know that healthy skepticism is good for our society. Should everyone get the vaccine? That is a decision that is best left up to an individual and their doctor, a collective, one size fits all approach is not realistic, especially considering the wide variety of health conditions that would prohibit someone from possibly being vaccinated. 
I have a nephew, a cancer survivor, his doctors have advised him against taking the vaccine, I suppose he is "ignorant," and inconsiderate of others, a threat to society that needs to be removed. 
If none of the above references are cause for skepticism, then blind ignorance may be your problem.
 
 

Let’s just face it, fall is turning crazier than spring. This season is a Covid crap shoot worse than a few short months ago. At this point, who knows what will happen the next few weeks. Regular season & playoffs ….it’s just going to be a mess. I hope I’m wrong. 

It’s given to refugees because they often are malnourished and have parasites.

Yeah because the seniors have nothing to do with the numbers for the following season so that is odd that they count them.  Maybe Riverheads doesn't count their seniors

It was 9-11 for YEARS. Dunno why they switched to 9-12 - just stupid.

Reading your coherent statement, which seems to be coupled with a keen sense of self awareness, tells me that you are far from poorly educated.

Lee/Eastside should reflect postponed now to be more accurate I guess.  First I saw online was cancelled. Lee's AD now saying postponed which makes the most sense.
 

You apparently didn't see his Alabama rally where he was booed by the crowd for telling that he got the vaccine and they should too. He started backpedaling real fast.....

I really believe if Donald Trump would go on TV and tell people to take the dang shot most if not all would. JMO

There is a sizable chunk of the American public that is arrogantly stupid, selfish, stubborn, extremely gullible, intellectually lazy, paranoid, and basically doesn't want to be inconvenienced in even the slightest way. It's the damnedest thing I've ever seen.

It’s not just selfish, it’s defiant, weaponized ignorance. How many of these people look at the weather app before making decisions? How many of these people had an MRI or a CT scan based on the advice of an expert? It makes zero sense to not trust science, but they can’t look past their cognitive dissonance when they have snake oil salesmen and TV preacher hacks telling them that the science of a vaccine is a lie.  
 

Not just this, but hospital availability is a zero-sum concept.  For every ICU spot that’s occupied by some unvaccinated person infected with COVID-19, that’s 1 fewer for folks like my grandmother who might have a heart attack; or my father-in-law that might fall off a roof when doing his job; or me if I get into a serious car accident.  This is not only killing people with COVID-19, but it’s killing people who can’t receive medical treatment because there is no more room.  
 
It’s doubly selfish.

Yeah it sucks when you have a family member dying in a hospital and you can't go in to see them one last time and then you got idiots running around blaming the media for blowing it out of proportion and the bad thing is almost all of them are friends so it's gonna happen again eventually.  

You have a minimum of 32 doses of various vaccines — not even including any flu vaccines — by the age of 18. 
Your body is full of vaccines. Just not the one that could potentially save your life. It’s obviously your choice not to get it, and that’s fine. But I pray you don’t go through what so many in our region are going through right now. Cause it’s too late once people’s minds change in hospital beds. 

yep. Bluefield has a home game Friday night. The Beavers always have dibs @ Mitchell.

Nothing is worth losing the good will and working relationships with your friends and neighbors at Pikeview and Graham. Period.

THAT would be a good game!

Hey guys, just a quick word from an old man who loves high school football.  A couple of our guys at work actually got the virus and ended up on ventilators.  Both had blood clots in their lungs, and after recovery, (thanks be to God), their doctor told them not to get the vaccine, but are keeping check on the antibodies.  We've also had a few employees that had the virus, didn't end up on the vent, and the doctor told them to get the vaccine, so I think it depends on the situation.  As my view, I'd love to see everyone receive the vaccine, but have to say, it's still an individuals freedom to make that choice. As for me and my wife, we got the vaccine, and we've also used a cell phone for years, so the government already know were we are. Lol!  Just my opinion.

I think it's the tracking devices that are scaring alot of people lol!!!

Bluefield could play their backups against Pikeview and still win.

I think the referees are already short staffed. If one or more has to quarantine it will definitely make things complicated. 

just a guess but it probably has more to do with ref availability 

at Hillard Howard Field between the last two Class A Ky. State Champions...
Pikeville hosts Paintsville at 7:30. And it WILL be streamed!

(Evangel Christian didn't have the kids, so they moved this one up a couple of weeks... guess they REALLY wanted to get it in!
AND it gives Grundy another option!!)
