@JackieHansard @swimswamnews @ByPatForde @SwimmingWorld @kylesockwell The small red marks on the lane ropes represent 15m from the start (or turn on the other side of the pool). For backstroke (and butterfly and freestyle), the swimmer has to have their head break out before/at that mark. This was way beyond that

@Kevin_Trager @ClayTravis Do you understand the logical fallacy that this line of thought follows? If the vaxxed players are testing positive, too, and theoretically the idea of positive test = unsafe for whoever, then the ONLY point of these rules is compliance, NOT safety

@AlexBerenson That..not how chemistry works. Sodium chloride can be derived from sodium metal and chlorine gas (both extremely toxic to the human body at relatively low doses), yet NaCl takes significantly more to reach toxic levels. Different molecules = Different prop, regardless of how made

I had no idea this would get such attention. I guess I’ll ask that you check out my wife’s Etsy shop (for all your stickers and other needs) that she’s put a lot of time into in the last year as therapy for a tragedy we endured last August 10th:

@JasonSobelTAN And he probably is. But now we equate “positive test” with “infection” and “illness”. If ever there was an example to stop mass-testing of non-sick individuals, this is it

@ESPNBooger “Most athletes”? Are you sure about that? 490,000 of the 500,000 ncaa student-athletes are in non-revenue sports, and if this ball gets rolling, the whole thing will collapse, so I’d venture to say you’re wrong

@ByPatForde The pen is mightier than the sword. You have a unique position to create a narrative that is science/data-driven that would help these programs (and thousands more) to NOT collapse, yet you choose not to do so (and aggressively go the other way). That’s a huge part of the problem
