Rachel Bush is not happy with the NFL’s coronavirus protocols.
Bush is married to Bills star safety Jordan Poyer, and she’s never been one to hold back with her opinions. Following Cole Beasley and three other players being sent home because of a close contact situation within the organization, she cut loose on Twitter with her thoughts on coronavirus and the vaccine.

“All these headlines should be starting off with ‘vaccinated staff member…’ then take it where you want it. But the reason we are missing 5 guys right now is because of a VACCINATED PERSON. Call it like it is,” Bush tweeted to her followers Tuesday afternoon.

She wasn’t done with that tweet. She also added, “I don’t want to point fingers at the staff member either..he/she had no choice, they had to keep their job. It’s the rules that need to be addressed and changed because the vaccinated are putting others at risk. It’s very clear now.”

Clearly, Bush is very frustrated and it’s not hard to see why. Beasley didn’t cause anyone to get coronavirus but he’s been sent home for several days because he’s unvaccinated.
So, despite the fact that he didn’t do anything wrong and tested negative, he’s still paying a price. It’s very easy to understand why she’s not happy.
Buffalo #Bills news: Per a source, Cole Beasley & Gabriel Davis passed this morning’s COVID test (came back negative) but have been removed from facility & must undergo 5-day reentry process as close contacts to a member of team’s training staff who tested positive for #COVID19

This underscores two sides of the coin:
1. If players were vaccinated, they wouldn’t have to be out for 5 days
But
2. A vaccinated player/staff can still test positive for #COVID19, which can contribute to outbreak or spread in a building that could compromise a game #Bills

At the same time, I’m not sure arguing “the vaccinated” are threatening society is a great place to start. That’s not going to bring a bunch of people to your side.
Being vaccinated doesn’t guarantee you won’t ever get COVID-19, but all signs point to the vaccine mitigating risks and lowering your chance of ending up in the hospital.
This is crazy. Did we vote on this? I stay in the hotel. We still have meetings. We will all be together. Vaccinated players can go out the hotel and bring covid back in to where I am. So what does it matter if I stay in the hotel now? 100 percent immune with vaccination? No. https://t.co/g61WM8zAOh
