Dr. Faucci should speak out about sports events. [View all]

Major League Baseball and Nascar have been going on all summer. Football is about to start. But these events are not requiring vaccines to enter.
We are way beyond the point of debating whether this is a good thing. They are going to happen. It's been going on all summer apparently without incident. But common sense and good policy indicate that we would all be better off if spectator events require proof of vaccination.
Dr. Faucci, President Biden and others should start doing a little public shaming on sports owners to require spectator vaccination. Bill DeBlasio did a number on the tennis mavens who run the US Open to force them to require two jabs. Some of these stadiums are publicly owned.
Sports events are an opportunity to increase the vax. We should start talking about it.
Talking about banning sports events is about as useful as calling for the revival of prohibition. But we can do something sensible.
