  • Unvaxxed Yanks & Mets cannot play home games

    Unvaccinated players on the Yankees and Mets are covered by the same private sector employer mandate that is keeping Kyrie Irving off the court in Brooklyn, a City Hall spokesperson told the Daily …


    Between that & Jays games in Toronto, Yankees like Aaron Judge could miss 90 games unless they get vaxxed or NYC changes its policy.

    Is there a resource that can tell us who is and who is not vaxxed? Or would something like that be a hippa violation

      Related question, if we can't find that out for individuals, can we get team data? What percentage of players are not vaxxed at this point? I assume almost all players are.

        no resource - players don't have to disclose and team cannot do so

          Figured as much, it's gonna be interesting as the season progresses to find out which players are/are not vaxxed. It's should become obvious eventually.

            It’s HIPAA, not HIPPA. And it could well be that publishing vaccination status would violate a company’s obligations when it comes to sharing protected health information. As for team vaccination status, I think that was already being published and the Mets were near the bottom.

              Thanks for the clarification. No Yankees/Mets for my Team

                Individuals in just about any industry can refuse to disclose their vaxx status but companies are also free to co wider that refusal to be an acknowledgment that the person is not vaccinated and respond accordingly.

                  I would expect Mayor Adams to end this mandate in the next couple of weeks

                    It is pretty absurd at this point, when you see Kyrie Irving maskless in the stands and then hugging his teammates after a game he could have been playing with absolutely no more risk or harm to him or anyone else in the building. So, it wouldn't surprise me if this was changed soon.

                      Agreed. Some of these policies are so dumb at this point. What’s the purpose of 20,000 unmasked fans but 200 masked arena employees? And being in the building unvaxxed as a fan, but he can’t play? So dumb.

                        It's not the outdoorness of baseball as much as the indoor clubhouse, training room, etc. Writers can only go into those settings in any ballpark this year if they're triple-vaxxed and wearing masks.

                          As expected, Mayor Adams is ending the vaccine mandate tomorrow.
