Ugh. So much for sub-8 at the Millrose 3000

Fun little personal data point here: I've improved 28 seconds in the mile and 91 seconds in the 5k since I was vaccinated.

Good for King Cole.

Left: get the vax

Me: don’t wanna.

Left: it will stop the spread of the virus, it’s your civic duty. If you don’t you’re literally a murderer

Me: ok fine

Left: time for booster.

Me: what? I just got vaxxed. Plus a bunch of vaxxed people got COVID, I thought you said the vaccine would stop the spread.

Left: we never said that. We said it makes the symptoms less severe. Time for booster.

Me: don’t wanna

Left: if you don’t get it you’re a murderer spreading the virus to other people.

Me: wait I thought it doesn’t stop the spread, just makes the symptoms less severe.

Left: we never said that. Take your booster or you’re as bad as Ted Bundy.

Me: ok fine.

Me: hey, I just got COVID, what gives.

Left: the vax doesn’t stop you from getting COVID, just makes the symptoms less severe.

Me: but I thought...

Left: SHUT UP AND DO AS YOURE TOLD

Ayyyy, that's good. I want to like him. Also takes some big self reflecting to come off of an anti-vax stance at this point. Shows that you can, in fact, conclude your research & get vaccinated. Now is the time -- turn in those reports!! Get vaccinated!

Darn

RIP Cole Hocker

Explain to me clearly in English why it is not the intelligent thing to get vaccinated when that reduces your chances of getting COVID--especially with the earlier variants--and cuts your chance of hospitalization or death by about 11/12.

Hocker did the right thing because he needs to avoid prolonged sickness, such as long COVID which numerous people in their 20s and 30s that I work with have gotten over the past two years, in a championship year.

When the AIU catches him he'll have something to blame it on now.

So 80% of those who are in our nation's hospital beds w/ Covid are Unvaxed and people who are getting vax'd are drinking the Kool Aid?! Seriously, you guys never cease to amaze me. The statistics are staggering and you STILL refuse to admit that the vaccines are saving lives. But by all means, carry on in trolling and re-affirming your lack of brain cells.

I hope he recovered well from the reaction he had to the vaccine, and that he didn't get the more severe myocarditis side effect which is more likely in young males (he is only 20 years old).

Which is more common in those who get COVID than those who get it from the vaccine. It's Science my friend. Not Joe Rogan science, but actual statistics.

The biggest question is why anyone is obsessed with or cares about his vaccination status. Or if he has a booster. If your opinion of him changes because of that status, you have some serious issues you need to resolve. That goes for those who hated him when unvaxxed, those that like him now because of it, those that praised him when he wasn't, and those vilifying him after.

The reality is, it will be years before we are able to tell the true efficacy of vaccination and boostering, to really evaluate all the "data" we have and filter out the inherent noise that has been a part of the data, and to see exactly the long term effects of this vaccine, and modified mRNA/lipid nanoparticle based vaccines.

Go spend your energy on something important.

Too little, too late. He could've literately spread COVID to thousands of other innocent people.

You can still spread it vaxxed.

The issue for me is that the non-vaxxed seem to go out of their way to catch it so they can prove the virus is a nothing burger.

Healthcare workers who don't vax clearly aren't smart enough to have a patients well being at heart.

What I'd like to know is, how much coal could Cole Hocker hock if Cole Hocker could hock coal?

Do you guys just forget how vaccines work only when it comes to COVID?

no brainlet, you do

the CDC, for many many years, defined a vaccine as: "A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease."

Now it's: "A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases"

lol the vaxxtards have been duped as usual

lol so you're calling people 'vaxxtards' but you don't know how to fully copy and paste the CDC's definition of vaccine and vaccination. Conveniently quoting them to your favor. Did you do all your vaccination research on the toilet? It should be common knowledge that there aren't any 100 percent effective vaccine's in the history of mankind. For some reason when we have a pandemic so many people are suddenly strongly against taking the vaccine used to combat COVID. just don't take it. It is your job to protect yourself. Why care if others take it or not?

'Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.

Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.

Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce protection from a specific disease.

Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.'

I don’t know how to link Instagram stories but on Wesfly athletics Instagram story, they confirmed with a source that Cole Hocker is vaccinated. Not that I care if he is or isn’t but most people on these boards lost sleep over it so I thought I’d let you guys know that he got the jab!

Anyone who is getting the jab at this point is an idiot or has no character.

People who originally got it didn't know better so I cannot fault them for their mistake.

1. The vaccine does not protect others. Vaccinated people are spreading Covid more than unvaccinated.

2. The vaccine would not protect Cole Hocker. Covid-19 poses literally no threat to him.

3. The vaccine poses a very small, but not insignificant risk to Hocker as we have seen with other top athletes.

Most likely Hocker knows all of this but he lacks the resolve to stand up against Nike and chose the dollar ahead of his health, which is not a big deal in one case, but its one more person whose not standing against the tyranny of government and big business. For this reason I no longer support Hocker.

Your second point is wrong. Catching covid still poses a risk to Hocker, and it's higher than the vaccine. It's true that are quite low risk, taking a look at these numbers the vaccine is clearly a better choice for health:

Vaccine risk: 77/million myocarditis (majority of cases are mild btw)

COVID: 450/million myocarditis post covid. Long term covid symptoms: it varies, but 2% - 10% of young people. Death rate extremely low.

The first story listed on that site:

https://www.stamfordmercury.co.uk/news/ex-martial-arts-champion-battles-back-after-losing-leg-9218263/

Infection in the leg seems much more likely....

False, you are 6 times as likely to contract omicron if you are unvaccinated. Thats just for infection.

Also for the myocarditis people, you are 8 times as likely to get myocarditis from covid than you are from the vaccine. If you want to avoid heart problems, get the vaccine.

Too late. He has blood on his hands.
