Good on all the Royals' purebloods for sticking to science & their convictions.
“It became at times—I wouldn't say combative, but you get to a point in time where you're not making much progress with it. … It's been more challenging to convince players to become vaccinated over the last three to four months than it was the first three to four months when the vaccine first came out.”

I'm amazed no current MLB players have died from the shot yet. A few retired players, some still in their 40s, have died from it though. A few current Japanese players have died from the shot - they were in their 20s.
There have been several. Just not BIG names yet. There was a catcher from Tampa Bay and another minor leaguer. I don’t watch any longer but that is my recollection.
