I thought the same thing. His wife just torpedoed his title hopes.

Do you have evidence that this is happening Michael? If so, then you should report it to the governing bodies and probably on a Vital article. What you're claiming would have a huge impact on the series if it includes top riders. Nobody is past right or wrong if there are rules for the races.

If you know this is happening then name names

It's one thing for a civilian to make wild unsubstantiated claims accusing a broad swath of people without naming names. It's different for a journalist.
I'm not the police and it's not my job to do so. As I stated above, I feel bad for all involved. I don't think this is being handled well or fairly.

remember when Michael Jordan used to play with the highly contagious flu, sweating all over other guys, would score 50 points and win a championship? Yeah, me too.

Taking some of the healthiest athletes on earth and clutching our pearls over something that they literally have a .005% of dying from is just a continuation of the stupidity of this entire chapter of history - a chapter we will be mocked over for generations.

I am prefacing this comment by saying that I understand some people do not want to be vaccinated, and I disagree with the notion that you should be forced into something you don't want to do. I am not a law enforcement officer, I'm not a lawyer, I don't know anything about legal proceedings and investigations. I also don't know the process by which vaccine cards are submitted or checked by Feld/AMA. But if somebody in the industry actually did report any of this to the FBI, and the FBI cared enough to do an audit, could you imagine the shitstorm that would happen? Like, I understand that people aren't happy that there are two sets of rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated, but anybody who submitted a fake vaccine card is literally falsifying government documents. And if the percentage of fake vaccine cards is as high as some of you are saying it is, moto probably makes mainstream news for the first time, but in a very bad way. I don't think there is any coming back from that, at least not for a long time.

actually, as the media...it IS your job to do so should those facts be unsurfaced. I know "media" in moto is a loose term, but I would argue that it would be your DUTY to report on this knowledge.

I don't claim to be a journalist.

I create content and I'm not interested in creating content that will just create mass chaos, possibly make national news for all the wrong reasons, for a few views.

This is an issue for the governing body and promoters to deal with as they're the ones who put these regulations in place. And I doubt they'll take it seriously or examine it.

And "DUTY"? I'm not a public servant, I didn't decree some oath when I went down this path in life.

Geezus…we can’t have nice things around here lately. As I’ve been staying over and over lately, non-moto for COVID discussion. A bunch of you instantly take these things as an opportunity to argue Covid stats. Going to do some cleanup in here.

For those who have directly said something shitty about Roczen’s wife, you’ll find your accounts locked for now. There was about three of you who took it way too far. Personal attacks are unnecessary on a forum. Hope it helped your ego or something…

To put it simply, yes, there’s a bunch of riders and industry members who have gotten fake vaccine cards so they can enter each event without testing. Most have done this purely for convenience reasons. For the riders however, I feel bad. Most want the fake card so they won’t get booted from a race for possibly testing positive on a test with either minor to no symptoms or possibly even an illness that isn’t even Covid. However, some riders are trying to follow the rules and keep their moral compass by testing each week and ultimately could find themselves pulled from a race for testing positive while the guy they’re battling in points, maybe even the title would’ve tested positive too if he wasn’t skirting the rules with the fake card.

I think at the end of the day most in this industry are past the whosnright or wrong in this whole Covid mess, it’s just down to the races could be decided by someone’s moral decisions off track, nothing to do with their on track performance. And that’s a bummer. Not saying either is right or wrong, the whole situation just sucks now…

interesting. So who is "media" or a "journalist" that covers our sport? Genuinely asking as I don't think I've ever read anyone from Vital specifically decline the "journalist" title. I suppose as one of the guys interviewing riders post-race and inquiring about things for their feedback, I would have certainly called you JOURNALIST.

To me working in media and being a journalist are still sorta two different things. Just because you work in media doesn't make you a journalist.

Anyone can label themselves whatever they want. It's up to you to relate that to what matters in your opinion.

why is he the worst type. Stick/ball sports media has covered extensively the vax story as well as vax cards (and fake ones). Because they are JOURNALISTS covering a sport. We are supposed to have JOURNALISTS covering our sport, but we rarely get actual news/controversy/stories that aren't approved and practically written by internal PR departments.

i understand. I was genuinely asking - who covers our sport as a journalist? (according to your knowledge and opinion). I can see how a content producer could be far diff than a "member of the sport media".

Another angle that makes this whole thing even more ugly, their god-given natural immune systems. Pretty much everybody has had one flavor or another of Covid by now (some have had it at least twice). Their natural immunity has been given the information just like the vaccination does. If you truly want to make this right in terms of requirements (vaccinations, etc.), folks who have had it, and built immunity, should be in the same boat as anybody else who is vaccinated... Their immunity is close to zero difference. It is like the entire world has been tricked into thinking they have somehow lost their natural immune systems and can't live without a vaccination.

These riders are in airports, hotels, etc. every week. Chances are good they have pretty much all had it by now. It is complete BS to look at it as vaxed or not, there is a HUGE gray area, that has been there since the beginning of mankind, and is still working today regardless of what you may see on TV.

Personally, I would understand vaccination requirements if the vaccination was curing a disease. But we know that is not the case, and never will be, so for us to continue to carry on with division and requirements, is bizarre.

No, we shouldn't. Those sports suck and are largely pop-culturalized for the masses who are interested in mundane, menial drivel.. Moto is different and should stay that way. If you want TMZ tabloids go find out what the latest ball handler is up to and what kind of car he drives. We do not need 'journos' to break bogus stories about someone's dirty laundry.

I think you have an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians to catch up on.

Edit: I had to google your avatar logo. Boy, does that shoe fit well.

He isn’t. It’s not really the issue who is or isn’t vaccinated. It’s that some riders who aren’t have fake cards that say they are, at least that’s what she alleges. They probably couldn’t care less about who genuinely is or isn’t, it’s each individuals personal choice.

The testing requirement should be there for everyone though if it’s something that they need to do
Without getting into the COVID dumpster discussion, I am guessing if Ken is immunocompromised from his elbow injury he is advised medically against the vax regardless of his personal opinion. Then he is disadvantaged to the weekly test risk versus the real and fake vax card holders. Crappy deal, if I’ve understood it correctly.

dude - who pissed in your cereal? I was asking a simple question and did so respectfully. Not sure why you had to rage on me. You're welcome to have a diff opinion without showing your ass. and I have no idea how Texas Tech somehow makes me want to watch a Kardashian show. WTH. Have a good day.

Here's the thing, in the United States every citizen is covered by the 1st amendment. There is nothing that makes a "reporter" or "journalist" special in any way.

There is nothing, legally, that requires a "reporter" or "journalist" to come forward or report any information they might have any more so than any other citizen might be so compelled. There is no "requirement" or "duty".

On that same note, there is nothing preventing any other citizen from doing so. Essentially, any citizen can claim to be a "reporter" or "journalist" all they like because there is no legal qualification or standard and those same people can either report or choose not to report any information they may have.

Nothing, I just have strong opinions against your notion that we need journalists to report on the "juicy controversies" behind the scenes. This is a family sport with <100 regular racers. Lets keep the tabloid tier trash out of it.

@gym jackets only the ignorant think other people are uneducated when they differ in opinion. Dunning-Kruger Check?

Is it even "moral" under the current developments considering the state of infection rate/ effectiveness of any current treatments. Morality is difficult to define in the current state of things. I once heard if you ask any scientist what will ultimately create the healthiest human population, that Darwin's theory of natural selection is the surest way to create the healthiest species. Cruel but can logically understand and agree. Do we not trust our own bodies and thousands of years of natural progression. We shouldn't clamor at suppressing our own immune system.

remember when Michael Jordan used to play with the highly contagious flu, sweating all over other guys, would score 50 points and win a championship? Yeah, me too.

Taking some of the healthiest athletes on earth and clutching our pearls over something that they literally have a .005% of dying from is just a continuation of the stupidity of this entire chapter of history - a chapter we will be mocked over for generations.
.005 % of dying yet my wife is stacking bodies in a reefer truck at an ICU unit. Makes no sense to me... Healthy dudes that are 50 come in and end up dead. My friends 28 year old brother died (all un-vaccinated people btw). The 28 year olds dad is 55 and now uses a walker and on oxygen 24/7 after he survived. We had played golf like 3 months ago. My friends 45 year old mother died. IDK maybe it's just not effecting your circle yet?

I agree healthy adults are lower percentage of deaths but just to dismiss this entire thing is crazy. I guess I'm in the minority here though.

My friends 28 year old brother died (all un-vaccinated people btw). The 28 year olds dad is 55 and now uses a walker and on oxygen 24/7 after he survived. We had played golf like 3 months ago. My friends 45 year old mother died. IDK maybe it's just not effecting your circle yet?

I agree healthy adults are lower percentage of deaths but just to dismiss this entire thing is crazy. I guess I'm in the minority here though.
better be on the safe side, go get a fourth dose.

Nothing, I just have strong opinions against your notion that we need journalists to report on the "juicy controversies" behind the scenes. This is a family sport with <100 regular racers. Lets keep the tabloid tier trash out of it.

@gym jackets only the ignorant think other people are uneducated when they differ in opinion. Dunning-Kruger Check?
A. It was a joke about your seemingly irrational distain for Texas Tech, a college university.
B. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect, genius.

With Ken having a long history of a compromised immune system and infections, I'd think they're justifiably upset when other riders/team members are lying about being vaccinated. On Pulp they estimated around 40% of riders have fake cards.

Ken's health seems extremely fragile the last few years, now he's knowingly sitting shoulder to shoulder at press conferences all season with other riders he knows are putting him at risk for potentially becoming very sick? I'd be frustrated too. Try putting yourself in someone else's shoes before you go calling her a b*tch.
All press conferences are virtual on Zoom.

Taking some of the healthiest athletes on earth and clutching our pearls over something that they literally have a .005% of dying from is just a continuation of the stupidity of this entire chapter of history - a chapter we will be mocked over for generations.

Clearly you educated yourself on how vaccines work.
1. It isn't supposed to be a cure-all
2. It is very similar to the flu shot (which...as we should know...doesn't cure/end the flu)
3. It lowers your chance of hospitalization (this is a statistically proven FACT.)

So yea...I'll get the vaccine and booster so I don't end up in the ICU.

It loathes me to contribute to a COVID thread, but...

I think it's fair to say that the pandemic has been misunderstood and mismanaged at various stages as doctors, scientists, law makers and governments have all grappled with limited information, new data and a seemingly ever-changing disease. I appreciate that they have (mostly/possibly) done what they thought was the best with the info they had at the time.

However, it blows me away that in 2021/22 governments are just issuing pieces of paper as evidence of vaccination status. Why they are not using blockchain technology seems daft to me - secure and can easily store sufficient information to prove vaccination status anywhere in the world (and Courtney's post, and this thread, might not exist!).

Maybe someone more technologically-minded can explain why governments aren't using blockchain for vaccination cards?

Cheers
Simon
