Dear Editor,
The wrong timing or the wrong combination could be detrimental to the country, the sporting federations and our youth.
Mandating that all persons or even spectators at sporting events be vaccinated will be detrimental to all. By doing so, you will most likely be eliminating over 50 percent of the athletes from participating, and at many events, their parents from enjoying the benefits of sports. With less than 50 percent of the country vaccinated, and most likely a much larger percentage of our youth (17-year-olds and younger), stopping them from doing sports would prohibit them from doing the very thing that is keeping them healthy and resisting covid.
Sincerely,
Andy Knowles,
Athlete and coach
