Every situation is a little different with the contact tracing and where they’re at. “They had to be out a day to make sure they were good,” Servais said.

Each had received at least one dose of the vaccine, Servais said. (Saturday update: Dugger and Misiewicz were activated off the COVID list after they tested negative. “I really didn’t want to see anything like this happen. “I’m disappointed,” Servais, clearly crushed, said on a pre-game video conference. Ominously, more covid test results were to be made available Saturday. Still, it can’t be hidden that half of the club’s most reliable unit was taken away at once - a cumulative 58 appearances over 67 innings.

The pro teams have had few positive tests and minimal quarantines. The Mariners and all Seattle sports teams have been uniformly diligent and earnest in following the conservative protocols established by city, county and state officials to curb the spread and open the stadium doors slowly. Even if this coronavirus was a new kind requiring an urgent effort for a fresh cure. Until then, I felt professionally and personally obliged to go along with the consensus approach of persuading, cajoling, urging, pleading, even bribing, the jab-resistant to accept the science that’s been around for more than 100 years. It took the Mariners’ COVID-19 episode Friday to clear my throat. I don’t get why requests from dedicated, sincere health professionals that we otherwise trust to help restore our organs, repair our bones and help birth our children, are rejected. I get why it’s dangerous, and illegal, for governments and most businesses to impose laws and rules requiring vaccinations. I don’t understand a 19th century response to a 21st century advancement in personal safety, which needs cooperation from nearly everyone, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, nationality or political persuasion, to help end a global crisis. I understand hesitation, apprehension and reluctance. The harsh term captures my attitude about people who choose not to protect themselves, others and the national welfare by refusing COVID-19 vaccinations. Scorn: Open dislike and disrespect or mockery, often mixed with indignation. I’d like to introduce a word not in much use these days in the discussion about COVID-19 vaccinations. As an organization, the Mariners did what it could to help advance vaccinations in Seattle.
