If you are referring to Allen, no, but he is a medical doctor. Is that good enough?

I took immunology 3 times. It was the toughest course offered in the science dept. The first time I just flatass failed it. The second attempt my daughter was born, immunology became second in priority. The 3rd attempt, once I pass, I graduate. Got a 77!!! I was so happy. Back then the science was evolving and changing rapidly, the only material that didn’t change every quarter was the professor’s corny jokes.

As Webster’s is not a medical or scientific source, their definition has nothing to do with anything.

Are you an immunologist?

Do you know the definition of vaccine BEFORE Webster's changed it recently?

I for one would fully support a move. We have far too many petulant children making policies in far too many states, nowadays. I live in one of the worst. They need to get the message that to participate in society, you just have to act like an adult.

My team requires COVID-19 vaccination to participate at workouts. We've never required other vaccinations; but then again, we've never operated our team during any other active pandemic. A team in a different state where I visit regularly does the same.

A major obstacle to any such policy for USMS as a nationwide organization would be that some states have adopted laws forbidding COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Texas, for instance, host to next spring's short course Nationals, is one such state. If USMS wanted to require COVID-19 vaccination for Nationals but did not want to invite litigation, we would have to move Nationals. That decision might be a wise decision but it wouldn't be a trivial decision and it probably would not even be possible now.

I haven't thought through whether LMSCs in states where vaccine mandates would be lawful could decline to sanction events unless the events required proof of vaccination along with USMS membership. I kind of doubt that they could, within USMS rules. Some host facilities might require vaccination, though, either because the facility has made that decision independently or because local law requires the facility to require it (as in San Francisco, for instance).

I agree. I am waiting for the booster to become available through my health provider.

I concur also. Unfortunately anti-vaxxers do see it as a political statement, and requiring them to get vax’d is an infringement of their liberties.

As usual, we're on the same page, King Frog. I agree!
