12 pointsThe anti-vaxxers were tolerated reasonably well until they became militant and verbally and physically attacking those who chose to be vaccinated. Many of these same covidiots made it very clear that they didn't give a damn about the welfare of the immuno-compromised or anyone else for that matter. These attacks on science-based measures in the name of "God" and/or "liberty" caused the hostility, not vice-versa.12 points -

10 pointsCan we leave the covid talk in the general forum in the proper forum? There’s been non stop covid talk for nearly 3 years now. None of what is being said here is new, news. I come to the Bomber forum to discuss football not being dragged into a political debate. If you want to talk about covid there’s active threads going on, let’s get back on track and use this thread to talk about the Blue and Gold. Go Blue!!10 points -

7 pointsDebatable and awful and having faith regularly coexist in the same person. Anyway - he quit on his team in my opinion, but as mentioned earlier he really paid the price more than anyone. So if the team is not only comfortable with him coming back, but having him commit to 3 years- he deserves a second chance. I won’t hold a grudge.7 points -

7 pointsAll the opinions about Eli, at the time, were 100% accurate and fair. Crazy anti vaxxers (religion is no excuse for bad behaviour) bailing on your team before a Grey Cup game.... That's a major problem and red flag. I'm surprised the team (the players) would be so willing to welcome him back, but as we've all said, he's a damn good player that we could really use.7 points -

7 pointsThis. I hate misinformation. And there were many people that used it: logical fallacies, fake science, whatever. Mostly junk. A lot that didn't want to get the vaccine so we could go back to normal. But it was a losing battle. But they were right about one thing in my mind and that was the mental health toll it took on all of us to avoid contact to stay healthy. I'll get the vaccine but I'm just not up for anything that is going to put us back in that situation. So much less judgment from me for people who aren't pushing misinformation and just say they don't want to get it. I also weigh my love for the Bombers very strongly so I'm pretty stoked about this signing.7 points -

6 pointsI went to a packed indoor event around Halloween and got COVID. Social distancing was impossible, and I knew that not many people would be masking, but I went anyway because I wanted to have some fun and act like things are normal. It proved to be a selfish choice because the people I cared about that depend on me most were without my support the better part of a week. Thank goodness I'm vaxxed and boosted, to think it could have been even worse and dragged on even longer... yikes In the meantime, I've tried unplugging and turning a blind eye to the backlog of surgeries in this province, but the darn thing just won't go away! Wish it could 'move on' as easily. Nothing to see here if you just ignore it. Yes, you're just going to die anyways, exercise doesn't work. Get out there and lick a doorknob, live a little6 points -

6 pointsSome interesting info from Naylor about the new guaranteed contracts. If you're a GM that likes to build through FA rather than draft & develop (Chris Jones, I'm looking at you), it might be a bit of a disadvantage for you as the current team can offer an guarantee to a player but you can't.6 points -
Covid-19
Comparing COVID to Cancer doesn't make any sense... Cancer is not transmissible. As observed by JCon, the vaccine helps to reduce the effect of COVID... yes, you may still get it, but you are much less likely to end up in the hospital because of it. The biggest reason for all of the measures and mandates was to not have everyone get sick at the same time to reduce the possible load on the health care system. The fact that most people are vaccinated now helps to keep it that way, though the health care system is so broken that wait times are still awful. I don't know about everyone else, but everyone in my family has all of their boosters, and we will continue to get them as they become available, no different than the annual flu shot that I get to help reduce the effects of getting that.6 points

6 pointsHere is what we know to be fact about Tui. Up until his vaccination status kept him out of the 2021 Grey Cup, he was widely regarded as our best non-starting OL, with many suggesting that he was the heir apparent for an OL spot when one opened up. He plays mean, nasty football and excelled every time he was thrown into the lineup. He is a natural centre that can play OG at a high level. We know he accepted a 3 year deal to be here. Here is what we don't know. We don't know why he refused his 2nd vaxx. We don't know how committed he is to staying the entire 3 years. We don't know what a year away from the game has done to him (however when we got him it was after 2 years non-playing), we don't know what if anything has changed in his life or maturity level, we don't know how he will be accepted in the locker room on his return. I really love what we know about him, want answers about what we don't know, and am willing to bet that KW has a lot of the answers we are wondering about and felt comfortable putting ink to paper on him.6 points- Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season

6 pointsSome people (myself included) were just fed up with all the nonsense surrounding the vaccine/Covid/politics/idiots at that time. I for one, kind of took it out on pretty well everyone who didn’t want to get it. Still think getting it was the right thing to do, but I’ve adjusted my judgement towards those who don’t.6 points- Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season

5 pointsBoth sides don't have good points. I asked myself and told myself that I was doing the right thing shouldn't be allowed to trump public policy. Lockdowns and mask wearing are political decisions, not science decisions. The science says they both work & less people would be dead & will die in the future if we used them. The "I don't wanna's" have made things worse for everybody & are allowing the deaths to go up. My wife and I are on our 5th round of vaccinations and got Covid after the 4th. Without the vaccines, we'd both likely have been in the hospital fighting for our lives. With the vaccines, we we in bed for a week hacking up our lungs. We've got long Covid symptoms. Can't get through the day without a nap. This is the result of a non-mask wearing, non-shutdown society that's run by politicians who care more about the polls than people's lives.5 points- Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season

5 pointsSuch a crappy reason. But it is what it is. It's in the past now and the only person who really paid a price was him. Glad he's back and on a long-term deal, anyway. He adds depth and nastiness to an already strong OL corps.5 points- Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
Well I promised myself I wouldn't let myself rejoin this conversation here I am. Although I'll keep it brief I'm twice vaccinated but expressed much concern about how everything was handled. Never once did I physically or verbally attack anyone, although I could say the latter happened to me several times ( even though being x2 vaccinated ) Can't paint the whole camp ( on either side ) with the same brush Ugh this whole conversation brings up shifty feelings and I wish I hadn't mentioned it at all. Whatevers happened happened, both view points have shown validity, both in overstepping and needing to care for our weak and vulnerable. If only people could have a reasonable conversation without stepping to personal insults and attacks. It seems our country and North America in general can't have a healthy debate anymore. One thing I've learned about dialog with others is that my view point moves when a good point is made. Disagreements are good to give each other a larger scope5 points- World Politics

4 pointsHis interview with Tait actually gives you a lot of the answers you are looking for. The team/MOS had his back and were in contact with him all of 2022, even though he was no longer under contract. He acknowledges his decision might not have been the one the other players made but they supported him regardless. He says his desire to play has only grown during his time away and the support he got from the team. https://www.bluebombers.com/2023/01/18/theres-a-fire-i-feel-it-eli-returns-for-3-years-in-blue-gold/4 points- Don't Look Back - 2022/2023 Bombers Off Season
