“I do believe we’re able to do it safely without a vaccine, but I think it’s going to take some major adaptations as to how the Games are run, how we as sports staff, teams and athletes are managed within the Games, and how we manage ourselves and our interactions.” Tokyo’s Olympic Games were scheduled to open almost two months ago, but the advancing global pandemic forced a postponement of it and the Paralympic Games back in March.Wilkinson, the COC’s chief medical officer, has since led a Canadian group in developing risk assessment checklists for returning to training and competition, using the World Health Organization’s recommendations on mass gatherings and sport as templates.
“If you make a vaccine mandatory, what are you doing with people who have allergies to the preservatives, anaphylaxis et cetera?”The Canadian team will lean heavily on Wilkinson’s guidance next year in determining whether it is safe to compete in Tokyo.
Ummm...no.
So what? That demographic isn't going to get sick anyway. Stop being crazy!
