Stressing about these imaginary scenarios will make you as mentally ill as the vax damaged population is physically ill.
If you really think it's a possibility, focus on prepper skills and get as self sufficient as possible. Channel that energy into something positive instead of doom mongering.
In 2021 Major League Baseball mandated all baseball support staff (many, many thousands) to take the shots but could not force the players due to the strong player's union. However MLB placed loads of pressure on the teams and allowed teams with high shot rates to forgo many of the difficult protocols being implemented at the time. One has very few opportunities at this level in sports and a super short career (after a lifetime of sacrifices trying to make it).
The east coast teams, like the Boston Red Sox (where Alex Verdugo played), had possibly the most industry pressure. In 2021 players would need to prove their status or not be able to enter Canada (Commie-da my brother calls it) to play the Toronto Blue Jays. The Sox played in Toronto nine times in 2021 - while my SF Giants went to Toronto zero times in 2021. If you could not prove it you were essentially publicly outing yourself and subjecting, not only yourself but your family, to excommunication from the bullying mob.
Thanks for your input! With so much insanity, it is easy to forget some of what happened in 2021. I cringe when I click on my Astros injured list wondering what will I see. What will baseball look like in a few years? None of us want our team to disappear.
Many folks believe all pro players are well paid enough to opt out or push back like our heroes Kyrie Irving, Aaron Rodgers, and Novak Djokovic. But the reality is pro sports are filled with young people, (many of whom have little education or skill beyond their athletic training), who have a tiny window to make it. Alex Verdugo at the time was not yet a free agent, making the MLB minimum salary, and just beginning to have success. I'll bet that he felt he was in no position to refuse. Like our young Golden State Warrior Andrew Wiggins who initially tried to hold out but eventually caved then had a number of random undisclosed illnesses and has stated that he regrets taking the shot.
And yes I now always wonder when looking at the IL what I will see. In February one of our rookie pitchers, Tristan Beck, went out after surgery for a "very rare" arm aneurysm and is only now, at the very end of the season, about to return. (btw I sent Beck's story to MCM and he reported it in one of his earlier NFU illness/injury reports). And one more thing. Beck was in the minor leagues in 2021 where the players were not protected by the players union. Many MiLB teams mandated the shot for minor league players.
I'm not hoping for this, but what will we do if literally half the population dies in the next 3-5 years?

I expect it will be difficult.
Start picking out the houses you like - ones with Harris / Walz signs will become vacant.
We'll have shorter funerals.
I wish there was a way to tell those battling cancers about Joe Tippins protocol, Im sure it would help them to rid themselves of their cancers.
I wouldn't be surprised if most would respond negatively, opting instead to stick with the medical complex that is killing them.
You’re probably right!

Thanks LL! And good luck to your surging Stros!
