Some people have personal health risks or beliefs that should certainly be respected and protected when considering vaccination. I read a study that states most of the vaccine hesitant are of higher education (BS, MDA, PhD)... So if that is your stance, more power to you, you are among America's brightest.

The study is wrong/misleading. There is a strong correlation between education and vaccination status, but it goes the other way.

It seems ridiculous to me that you can't take vaccine status into account, when vaccine status has a league-mandated impact on players; if it changes their availability in the case of exposure, then it's a big thing. The best sort of ability, and all that...

Yes.  When the league rule is that if an outbreak, caused by an UNvaccinated player or players, causes a game to be cancelled, the team that had the outbreak will forfeit the game, then vaccination status HAS to be a factor when it's a close call, which of two players to keep on the team.   The unvaccinated player could actually cause a forfeit.   In addition to that, if a player tests positive, and he is unvaccinated, then, under the rules, he has to stay out longer than a vaccinated player who tests positive.  

So NFL rules set this situation up.  It is inevitable, and yet, coaches and GMs aren't allowed to admit it.

What Meyer ought to say to the NFLPA is, "Your problem is with the NFL.  Not with me.  The NFL set up this situation.  I'm just telling the truth."
