He is both a COVID-19 survivor but also one of the minority of athletes preparing for these beleaguered Games that has refused to become vaccinated. Andrew, who is scheduled to compete in the 100-metre breaststroke, the 200-metre individual medley and the 50-metre freestyle, has his reasons. But for many, they aren’t sitting well.
“My reason behind it is, for one, it was kind of last moment (and) I didn’t want to put anything in my body that I didn’t know how I would potentially react to,” Andrew said during a pre-Olympics video press conference. “As an athlete on the elite level, everything you do is very calculated and understood."...
On Thursday, Team USA coach Dave Durden was pressed repeatedly by reporters on Andrew’s stance, and by extension, his living arrangements among his teammates.
Durden said the U.S. team is adhering to the extensive COVID protocols in place and at least sounded confident that Andrew wouldn’t post a health threat....
Durden claimed not to know Andrew’s precise living arrangements in the Athletes’ Village but his mere presence with the team could create huge competitive issues for the Americans. Though the International Olympic Committee hasn’t mandated vaccines — it estimated recently that 80 per cent of competitors will be fully vaxxed — there are strict lockdown rules in place, including close contact tracing, should there be an outbreak or positive....
Most pointed among them came from former U.S. swimmer Maya DiRado. The four-time medallist at the 2016 Rio Games took to Twitter to lambaste Andrew.
“That Michael would make a decision that puts even a bit of risk on his teammates for his own perceived well-being frustrates me,” DiRado wrote. “I wish he’d think harder about what he’s proud to represent.”...

He has no moral obligation to do this. None whatsoever.
If they are concerned about their health they can leave. They have been vacinted and this shows their complete lack of faith and massive hypocrisy about the dam vaccine.
Even if took the vaccine it not be effective for at least 6 weeks and the Olympics are long over by then.
So getting the vaccine does not protect you unless every living being gets it.
Lessening symptoms is not the definition of a vaccine even by the cdc’s own page.
It PREVENTS YOU from geting the disease and being infected in the first place.
Here from their page discussing vaccine terms:
Definition of Terms
Let’s start by defining several basic terms:
Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.
Vaccine: A product that stimulates a person’s immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, protecting the person from that disease. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but can also be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.
Vaccination: The act of introducing a vaccine into the body to produce immunity to a specific disease.
Immunization: A process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination. This term is often used interchangeably with vaccination or inoculation.

Note they do not mention natural immunity at all, however. Deliberately omitted.
If you got other colds, chances are they were either mutated versions of prior viruses, or other different coronaviruses in the general class of “colds”.
Those who were exposed to SARS in 2003 have the antibodies for SARS COVID-19. Yet, some of those who had COVID-19 and took the experimental treatment afterward, have been getting sick with COVID-19 again.
Maya DiRado shouldn’t worry since she is vaxed
There is a nefarious agenda here.
Its why hcq and ivermectin were smeared.
Its why they altered the definition of what a vaccine is, just for this new mrna crap.
Its why they ignore natural immunity.
Its why they are demonizing something that is a personal medical choice about what risks someone wants totake with something that is medically irreversible, and no one can be held accountable for your injuries or death.
Its why they smear the doctors and other speaking out about concerns regarding this experimental treatment.
Its why now on ths one particular disease somehow now after all this time, NOW people cannot say no, all the people prior on the side of my body my choice, and who are very well aware of the Nuremburg laws and who claim to be against coercion and threats to force people to do medical hings agains tther will, NOW they are all for forcing this on people and to hell with their ability to decline a procedure they dont want to risk doing.
All this shows they have no faith in the vaccine and thy already know the vaccine doesnt stop anyone from vetting covid. If it was a miracle shot and was as good at providing immunity as they keep claiming, they dont need the decliners to take the shot. They dont make this mental connection though. They are brainwashed and are ginned up to hate and despise the people not going along with the program
Never in my life dealing with vaccines and shots, and I have had a lot, have they tried to shame and smear those deciding to opt out of a vaccine where there is such an extremely high percentage of survival, almostno risk at all if you are younger and/or have no medical issues that make you more at risk for this virus.
Variants of the common cold?
Is not the current scare, variants of Corona Virus 19?
This pandemic is along the lines of 2009's H1N1 (which is still around) though the Left did not know how to us it to their advantage.
They learned from '09...
Pandemic
Lock down
Present a patsy as a candidate
Steal a election
Free money to those that stay home
Move to socialsm
Pandemic II
Then...?
And....he’s competing in a freaking swimming pool!!! Not in a cage match.
These FRAUDci acolytes are sickening.
And....in a swimming pool!!!
Its not a real vaccine. Definition altered recently to loosely allow mrna to be called one, but it is not.
Vaccines confer immunity. They admitted this doesnt it just lessens symptoms. Thats not a vaccine and its not immunity.
Enough peopleare getting it for them to say well it doesnt guarantee immunity and the fact is it doesnt. And in fact may be why the vaxxed are getting covid after the shots. You have many stories of groups of people who are not covid positive that get the shots and then they al come down with covid right after their shots. All this time no problem, after the shot they most or all come down with it. Its the dam shots. Not the unvacinated.
That is the plan. Got to teach all those natural antibodies people that they can be punished. Vaccine + positive test = good to go. Natural immunity + positive test = lock down and ruined life.
😂
Maya DiRado should mind her own damn business.
Hate America be applauded.
Don’t take the vaxx and you’re threatening your team members who took it...
This sounds rational to be people?
From my understanding the antibody tests were deemed to be error prone.
