I love Jason Isbell what he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s doing and I hope it works as a deterrent to keep the unvaccinated at home but in my experience the venues are really half assing \u00c2\u00a0it. I just went to two of his three shows in Austin and they only gave a cursory glance at your vax card. 50 people in a row could\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve shown them the same image on their phones and they wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know it. And I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d say a good half of the people inside were ignoring the request to wear masks\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 the venue wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even requiring it of their own staff. I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t see a single bartender wearing a mask. That seemed pretty shitty of them to be honest.<\/p>\n
You \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcre dead on though, it would be cool to see more artists have the spine that Jason has.<\/p>\n

A) They can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t possibly be Patriots because they either trust something that escaped from a Chinese lab, or something that grew inside a Chinese bat (pick your conspiracy theory) over a US-made vaccine<\/p>\n
B) They are allowing the US to turn into a welfare state as so many now rely on Big Government to pay us unemployment\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6because they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re destroying our economy and we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all losing our jobs<\/p>\n
C) They are supporting Socialized Medicine\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 the dreaded Big Government is paying the difference between what their insurance (if they have it) will cover and what the hospital bills total AND Big Government is paying up to $7k towards funeral expenses for those who die of COVID.<\/p>\n
So, to sum it up (in their terms), they are Chinese-loving Socialist Welfare Queens hell-bent on destroying the US economy<\/p>\n

There is a huge class of working professional tour personnel that have been home trying to pay their mortgage and feed their families and a simple safe, effective and FREE vaccine would put all those people back to work.

Thanks again for this, but I’m confused. Over the last year and a half,\u00c2\u00a0we’ve been told covid symptoms can show up after a 14 day period (hence the 14 day quarantine rules). Therefore, isn’t it pre-mature\u00c2\u00a0to make this announcement until after the 14 day mark? Since the last day of Lollapalooza was August 1st, shouldn’t we be waiting until August 15th?\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t mean to be a pessimist, and praying it wasn’t a superspreader event but I want to see what happens after the 14 day mark, and I still think if we want to play it super super safe, it might be helpful if everyone did a negative covid test before the events. I don’t know.<\/p>\n

We need to change terminology.

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not breaking through your defences. Was Never intended to prevent infection. Intent is to prevent severe illness and death. And it sure as hell is doing that. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s goal is To train your body how to fight the infection and reduce your sickness.<\/p>\n
Did you read the info about viral load being just as high in vaxed people as unvaxed? I bet you did. But did you know that that viral load decreases much faster in those with the shot than those without? Meaning you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re contagious for less time, meaning you spread it less, meaning get a fucking shot. You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll most likely stay out of the hospital, most likely stay alive, and most likely spread less disease.<\/p>\n

Again, not a word about the 1.5 million covid recovered (according to CDC numbers) who have natural immunity.

Don’t you claim to be rational & logical guy? There is NO logic or rational in vaccine requirements without ALSO recognizing natural immunity acquired from infection and recovery.<\/p>\n
The push to discount and ignore natural immunity (which is proving to be better than vaccine induced antibodies) is illogical and unscientific. People with natural antibodies should be treated no different from people with vaccine created antibodies. It is as discriminatory as is race discrimination.<\/p>\n

This could not have come at a more apropos time.\u00c2\u00a0 Orange County venues (Segerstrom, Soka Performing Arts Center, Musco Center, the Irvine Barclay) are having this tough discussion as we speak, and we plan on coming out with a unified policy on vaccine requirements and masking for our venues.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0My position here at Soka Performing Arts Center is that all patrons and artists be required to show proof of vaccine or negative COVID test within 48 hours, and remain masked indoors.\u00c2\u00a0It is an absolute necessity.<\/p>\n
Yes, the reasons to require vaccinations for entry are vast. We can all\u00c2\u00a0name them. Yes, major venues across the nation are\u00c2\u00a0 joining the vaccine proof for entry, including Broadway. Major artists also have\u00c2\u00a0 announced that they will not play venues where there is not a vaccine requirement for entry,\u00c2\u00a0and more are following suit daily. We have donors who are requiring it for the concerts they sponsor.<\/p>\n
But beyond all that, it is simply the right thing to do. Vaccine compliance is the one thing that\u00c2\u00a0will ultimately get our country back on the right path (greater than 90% vaccinated), and\u00c2\u00a0is a primary way to help our\u00c2\u00a0global world right now.<\/p>\n
There were two words in your email that struck me the most. “Just lead”. You are 100% correct. It is up to us, the venue directors, to LEAD, and not be afraid or wishy washy or wait to see what others are going to do. Do the right thing. No excuses, no polls. Just lead.<\/p>\n

As I type this reply to you I’ve just been informed that Orleans Parish will be implementing a proof of vaccine\/proof of negative test mandate this coming Monday.\u00c2\u00a0 A number of bars and restaurants implemented this policy weeks ago, as did a few venerable music venues–Tipitina’s, Maple Leaf Bar, and d.b.a.–and I’ve heard little outrage as of yet.\u00c2\u00a0 Some owners of the businesses affected by this mandate–namely bars and restaurants–do have a valid issue with their small business potentially losing business while the Superdome, for example, will most likely not have the same mandate for the upcoming Saints season.\u00c2\u00a0 The NFL could certainly use its profile to provide proper information and encourage people to get vaccinated, but recent history has shown that Roger Goodell rarely stands on the side of right (well, other\u00c2\u00a0than the alt-right).<\/p>\n
Any of us with a little sense expected Jazz Fest to be canceled, and of course we’re bummed.\u00c2\u00a0 But it was the ballsy decision that needed to be made for the greater good, and I wish more organizations with a massive platform would grow a pair and make the good decisions.\u00c2\u00a0 Tucker Carlson, that slavering mouth breather, uses his platform every single goddamn day to spread misinformation, while organizations, performers, and athletes with a platform equally as big do nothing.<\/p>\n
As far as Isbell goes, he’s smart as hell and not afraid to go toe-to-toe with foolish commentary and do god’s work. \u00c2\u00a0 And in so many ways he’s been converting the naysayers for years–maybe even you.<\/p>\n

I had breakfast today with a buddy who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a Live Nation touring rep. \u00c2\u00a0He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s starting a tour in a few days with a solid-selling artist, and he fully expects the tour to be shut down by late September.<\/p>\n
Because \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 people are stupid.<\/p>\n

Myocardial Infarction is REAL from these vaccines, Bob. Blood clots, organ inflammation and embolism.<\/p>\n
But by all means, keep those blinders on, call them all kooks, dismiss all medical evidence from this UNapproved experimental substance, and keep screaming in the streets that they are \u00e2\u20ac\u0153safe,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d as if you know.<\/p>\n

It’s happening here in Canada with my own province Nova Scotia saying they will soon enact a vaccine passport to get into non-essential places. Quebec is doing it starting 1 September and I think many provinces will follow suit. I think the government is also working, with the willing provinces, on a nationwide vaccine passport as well. We opened our borders to the US this week but only to the fully vaccinated and you have to show proof.<\/p>\n
I think as things open up and the unvaccinated can’t go to bars, restaurants, concerts and various recreational spots, I think you’ll see more get vaccinated. The hard core anti-vaxxers will probably head for the hills!!<\/p>\n

Good points on getting people to take the vaccine. It’s great to see Jason Isbell taking a stand. I was on the fence about making a 2 hour drive to Richmond to catch his show in September, but after seeing his engagement on Twitter I bought tickets. I want to support what he’s doing.<\/p>\n

Stop with the insults! \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Why do liberals think they can just insult people into doing something! \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0The media and you have been wrong on Florida since the beginning.. \u00c2\u00a0we get it you are afraid DeSantis can win.. Look up state by state vax rates\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 if the media was to be believed you would expect to see Florida ranked near bottom\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. But reality?? \u00c2\u00a0#24\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 doubtful CNN or MSDNC would report that! \u00c2\u00a0I have a family friend who lives in the UAE where you either are vaccinated or under house arrest by order of the king.. and the Delta variant has been there getting people sick since April! \u00c2\u00a0In a country where vax rate is near 100%. \u00c2\u00a0So hmm.. \u00c2\u00a0maybe not demonizing the unvaccinated , or those that think the mask might make u feel safer but in reality do very little (just ask Biden\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s old Covid advisor\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 CNN John King Show) Yes, I took the vaccine and believe it can keep you from dying and hopefully more will come to that realization.. But, insulting them and acting superior as you always tend to do, but I seriously doubt you would do \u00c2\u00a0face to face is not the best approach here! \u00c2\u00a0Maybe you should put as much effort into demanding your party in charge find out who the jackwagon scientists where that developed this crap in the Wuhan lab??? \u00c2\u00a0Paging Dr. Fauci!<\/p>\n

Note: Yes, he is correct that Florida is #24 in vax rates, not that its rate is admirable. Florida is vaccinated at a 49.84% rate. #1 is Vermont at 68.3%. New Jersey, #7, has a 59.26 rate. Bottom line, it’s not simple. It has to do with unvaxxed concentrations. A state, like California, can have a high rate in the cities, but low in the country. Also, masks laws can ameliorate infections. So pure vax rate is not the definitive statement he says it is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
