Did this apply to the preseason? Rodgers was inactive for those games.

Effective as of 9/28/2021. I would assume the prior version had similar restrictions but am not 100% on that.
Edit: The same paragraph exists in the July 27 Training Camp and Pre-season protocol. So yes, Rodgers would have been required to be wearing a mask (surgical preferred, gaiters prohibited) during any pre-season game where he was inactive and on the sidelines.
Rodgers will watch this weekend listening to people trash him for not being entirely transparent about his vax status while they talk about the possible beginning of the season of Love.
And fuck Rodgers. I’ve been a huge fan but seriously. Fuck Rodgers.
They won't be saying much about it on the game broadcast. Doesn't reflect well on "the shield". They'll have some statement about it pregame and then let it lie.
I'm pretty excited to finally know what Love is.

The Shield was crystal clear his home craft witch brew wasn’t vax worthy. Claim denied.
Rodgers will take a beating this weekend. And I’m actually here for all of it.
There's nothing specific about post-game press conferences, so there's some ambiguity since technically those occur in the facility where masks are otherwise required for unvaccinated individuals.
However, Kirk Cousins does not wear a mask during his press conferences either.
Checked on whether Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was in violation of COVID-19 protocols by talking to the media unmasked. Was referred back to rules that unvaccinated players must be masked at all times inside team facilities—which includes press conferences.

So the answer is yes.
Wait - are we sure the dude is not vaccinated??? Everyone is peeing their pants when I don’t even know if he is just positive with being vaxxed - maybe I missed something

We are
We aren't
You did
Certainly does appear the organization could face some disciplinary action for what appears to be an attempt to coddle their franchise QB.
Kind of ironic to see that pic of Murphy, think back to all that Silo talk that he says he nixed and says there is no more of, then realize the lengths the Packers went in hiding Rodgers vaccination status.
Many of you thought GB was dumb to draft Love and that it was a slap in AR's face. Also, AR was treated poorly by the FO. The best QB on the planet deserved a seat at the table with personnel decisions. The reigning MVP deserved much, much better treatment from an ungrateful, incompetent organization led by a bunch of clowns.
Now he's a piece of shit. GB should have traded him in the off season. Fuck him.
Because of a shot.

Doesn't matter. The NFL doesn't bash its players during a game. Ever. Not to mention they'd piss off half of their audience. Someone will say something before the game and then they'll just keep it under the rug.
and I'm interested in what type of homeopathic immunization he takes to thwart CTE. Hopefully he'll share that with the rest of the contact sports world....or perhaps all that head injury talk is a hoax.
You guys are all idiots..first of all for not acknowledging just how stupid the league is for even having protocols for covid still(hint: it's NEVER going away), if a guy is asymptomatic, he should be able to play. Period. IDC who it is. Second of all, it's not like Arodg was driving a 156 mph, while drunk and killed someone. He's not vaxxed and wasn't wearing a mask, BFD. I say good for him for standing up for what's right and what he believes in.

If you believe the media who says he’s not vaccinated then yes he’s not vaccinated. I’ll wait until I hear from him either way whether he is or is not, but I posted several pages ago that there is a protocol for symptomatic vaccinated players to mandatorily be out 10 days.

So the answer is yes.
So what punishment will the NFL levy on Kirk Cousins and the Vikings for his weekly violation of this in his post-game press conferences?
Well nobody cares about Kirk Cousins and the Vikings so no one is talking about that. So the NFL probably doesn't care either.

If there was only a safe and well studied way to "raise your antibody" levels against COVID19. Something that had undergone extensive scientific scrutiny for safety and been evaluated in billions of people. Something that every former and current US President had gotten. Something that >90% of your teammates had already done. Gee, you know something that tricked your immune system into thinking that it had been exposed to COVID19 when it really hadn't so it would make antibodies with no chance of you actually getting COVID. Maybe something that had been done in over 3 BILLION people so far. You know, like a fucking vaccine?
To raise his antibody levels? The whole point about immune memory is that you want to keep the numbers of B/T cells responding to a particular antigen (part of a virus in this case) low if you aren't exposed to it. Your body has to respond to literally potentially billions of antigens and if you kept the number of cells that respond to each of them up non-specifically you'd get pretty sick for other reasons pretty fast. The system evolved to have memory cells that can respond immediately and exponentially multiply when they see the same pathogen again. You get booster shots to improve the process through things like somatic hypermutation. That is, boosters give your body the chance to optimize the antibodies produced from B cells or the T cells that can kill off virally-infected cells. Then, those "better" versions of those cells go dormant again so they can repeat the cycle if needed.
Oh goodie, you're one of these people. Listen, if your vax is so safe, and masks are so effective, then why do you care if someone around you is wearing a mask, or isn't vaccinated. You're protected, right?? Right?? What a sanctimonious, pompous, Fauci fellator you are.
I want someone, anyone to show me a study that these "scientists" have done, that definitively proves masks have saved people's lives during this pandemic. I have asked tons of people and no one seems to be able to produce any hard evidence of it, why is that?? I mean, we have studies that show seatbelts save lives, right??

I mean, this was the impression I was under, right now it's just like the offseason with the drivel, I will check back in when he speaks some. This could just be a non-story - that he is vaxxed and is symptomatic, which does happen...anyways, back to it..
How about a mod lock this thread and then we have two separate threads: one to discuss Chiefs Week (other than AR); and a second thread to vent about AR.
While his status certainly impacts the game Sunday, all of the back and forth banter doesn’t.

Nice try troll. I think most of us know you are just trying to stir the pot. No one can be that uneducated and uninformed.

Surging COVID-19 rates throughout the country and in many parts of the world make our efforts to protect ourselves and others more important than ever. Currently, the Delta variant is driving much of the increase in the US. Vaccinated people are well-protected against severe disease, hospitalizations, and death. But a a large outbreak in July 2021 shows that everyone — even vaccinated people — may spread infection with this variant if they get it.
Vaccination remains a top priority. Most people who have been hospitalized or died from COVID-19 in recent months were not vaccinated. In places where vaccination rates are low or the number of COVID cases is rising, experts estimate we can save thousands of lives and considerably boost the chances of controlling the pandemic if we all commit to following mask guidelines and other standard preventive measures.
Why do we believe masks work?
Early in the pandemic, experts expressed skepticism that masks would be helpful for the general public, particularly in places with little to no community spread of the virus. In addition, to avoid worsening shortages of medical-grade masks for health workers who needed this protection, masks were not widely recommended.
But a rapidly expanding body of evidence supports the benefits of nonmedical masks and cloth face coverings. Some of the strongest evidence includes these reviews (here and here) and observational studies (here, here, here, and here), which found that mask-wearing leads to lower rates of infection. And this impressive graphic display from the New York Times shows how masks help trap larger respiratory droplets and some of the smaller particles….
