So he does not want to learn from Jon Rahm then.
Doesnt the fact he got covid and was fine prove he didnt need the jab
Sounds like the type who would use iron covers and wear black socks with shorts, an absolute shower.So doesnt want the vax and doesnt shout "Fore" either

Advice in the UK, Europe and the US is that recovered cases still should be vaccinated. There is a debate about how 'narrow' immunity is to natural infection compared to vaccination, and the antibody response is usually weaker.

I’ve heard him shout “fore”
Many other pros don’t or haven’t
Imo a breath of fresh air to Golf
Rather him than some of the moody brigade
One of the freedoms of living in a democracy is freedom of choice. People calling others ‘anti-Vaxers’ because they choose not to take a vaccine which is very new and there is no information on its long term effects is ludicrous. Most of these people have been vaccinated for other diseases which makes those calling them anti-vax plain stupid as that term could only be used if they were against all vaccinations for all diseases.
I have been vaccinated though it should be freedom of choice whether someone wants to be or not. If I was a young woman of child bearing age there is absolutely no chance I’d be taking a vaccine. Mistakes have been made in the past and as there are no long term studies and there is information which suggests there could be detrimental effects on these types of things I’d be holding fire. If someone is vaccinated they have done what they can for themselves or there peace of mind. I don’t believe there was a vaccination program for Spanish flu in the early 1900’s which was more deadly than COVID. There have been many other respiratory diseases through the years more deadly, COVID to the vast vast majority is not a fatal illness
If you could enlighten us all with what is laughable that would be constructive. If not I’ll put it down to you don’t like the comment and have nothing of value to add so decide to make a snide remarkAmong a series of laughable comments, that one is the winner.
I'm inclined to agree for the most part. I had the vaccine just because I figured most people would and I didn't give it much thought. I still caught Covid though (have only had the first jab so far however). I still had to isolate obviously. I don't really think people should be forced to have it, I just had it because I thought it would be easier to have it than not have it, in the long run.One of the freedoms of living in a democracy is freedom of choice.

Soft anti-vaxx, couched with a few ifs and buts, is pretty common in the US, especially on the right wing, and most US golfers are pretty right wing.
The point was that there have been far worse illnesses controlled by nature over time. People are just as likely to pass the delta variant on with or without a vaccine so the saying do it to protect someone else is complete rubbish as you can pass it on the same regardless, in effect having the vaccine only actually does yourself any good. There is no long term information on the vaccine this is a fact, would you give a child a vaccine you don’t know what potential causes it could have over a period when the risk of the illness to them is soo small it’s hardly worth talking about. It’s a complete nonsense.It is not that I don't like the comment. It is that it is a ridiculous comment which makes no sensible point at all. You said "I don’t believe there was a vaccination program for Spanish flu in the early 1900’s which was more deadly than COVID.". So what? Does that mean that we should not try to prevent or treat illness that are not as bad as Spanish flu?
By the same bizarre logic, presumably boats should not need lifeboats or other safety equipment the The Titanic didn't have.
Back in the real world, though, things have moved on a bit from the era where many children died in infancy and average life expectancy was in the late 50s.
The most telling comment is the very last one, about Covid not being fatal to most. That is true as far as it goes, but Covid is not just about death, and the biggest effects could well come from some of the non-fatal stuff that you do not even mention. Sticking to fatal outcomes is common among Covid-deniers. Nor is Covid vaccination just about your personal risk.
And don't get me started on your blather about the testing of, or long term effects of, Covid vaccination.
This is true. It's actually mind boggling how the pro gun lobby and pro Trump crowd are almost enirely anti vaxx. All about freedom baby, yeeehaaaa. What a load of rodents.

(4) Behavioural scientists working for sage have quite rightly gone with the tactics of do it to protect others as they know it will pull at the heartstrings and more people will get it than if they said do it to protect yourself.
(5) Ultimately the elderly and those with underlying health conditions will be more susceptible to dying of a respiratory infection. This isn’t news it has been known for hundreds of years.
