Rangers to allow fully vaccinated fans without PCR Tests

[Brawndo]

Will the Sabres follow? 

[Sabres Fan in NS]

I don't think that this is a good idea.

Not sure depends on how many fans in the stands...

It is not really known right now if being fully vaccinated is the same thing as not being able to transfer COVID.

This is a bad idea, and another reason for people to stay home.

The 3 day testing requirement is only a slightly less useless theater exercise than temperature scans.

It’s amazing how when the noose tightens, the grip loosens. I don’t think this is a good idea also. Maybe in another 5 - 6 months, but not now.

Yeah, something like this.  It seems to be that the vax offers full protection from serious illness but not necessarily from contracting the virus at all.

This, incidentally, is what will eventually pull in the anti-vaxxers if lack of vax excludes them from normal social activities (or makes participation more cumbersome).  It just won't be worth the inconvenience of resisting.

As I type this, I’m in a waiting room at a local hospital waiting for my number to be called for the 1st Pfizer shot.

good idea as long as capacity remains limited and masks are still required

[Georgia Blizzard]

Great idea.  

Great incentive for folks to get vaccinated.

They are still social distancing and wearing masks, right ?

Temp checks are next to worthless with so many folks not having that symptom, yet, still being infected.

They should actually go one step further and require all folks to be vaccinated in order to attend, but, I think that will wait until vaccines are widely available, probably in May
