EDMONTON — One is a player who opted to honour his commitment to his new team in Edmonton. The other, just another selfish anti-vaxxer who is betting on himself, somewhat foolishly.

One is a player the general manager staked his reputation on, with much pedigree and a handful of Stanley Cup rings. A guy who came to town billed as a leader, and then backed it up when he rolled up his sleeve despite obvious misgivings about being vaccinated.

Sure, Duncan Keith should have gotten vaccinated a month sooner. But give him some credit for putting the team — society and the Oilers — ahead of himself. Even if he waited until the 11th hour to do it.

Then there is depth winger Josh Archibald, who will be replaced by Game 1 of the regular season if he doesn’t give his head a shake. He is from that young, conspiracy-oriented demographic that has been suckered in by far-right disinformation, and tweets about idiocy like “the plandemic.”

1. For all the scaremongering about myocarditis after vaccination, one is *more* likely to have

myocarditis after a Covid infection.

And on a long enough timeline everyone is getting exposed eventually, so it is a pretty apples to apples comparison. Higher risk from the infection than the vaccination, and you have to choose between the two, there is no third category.

Get your fucking vaccines if you don't want myocarditis, never mind all the lung damage and death and all.

3. Exactly, and the same holds true for blood clots. NT

4. This has always been true

and it's a big messaging fail that it hasn't been spread more that Covid can cause long lasting heart problems.

Look, the guy is an idiot and he is suffering his stupid choices. i'm glad he isn't dead. Hopefully other idiots will see this and think for once and get vaccinated so they don't have to suffer like this.

2. It is very hard to have any sympathy I hope the Oilers cut him.

5. Myocarditis is nothing to brush off..whether you got it when vaccinated or not

It can cause permanent weakening of the heart muscles and moderate to severe damage to the valves

6. What's Wrong With People Like This?

Quite the steep price for being some combination of stupid and misguided.

I will never ever grasp why people refuse an approved vaccine, even more mystifying is health care Personnel who spurn vaccination.

I have received every vaccine I could, getting my Pfizer booster 10 days from now.
