Rob Oller wrote an opinion column for the Columbus Dispatch stating Professional Golfer Jon Rahm lost a $1.6 million dollar paycheck because he wasn’t vaccinated against Covid-19.
First, it wasn’t a guaranteed Rahm was going to be the winner on Sunday, despite his 6 stroke lead going into the final round.
Second, there’s no medical evidence that will suggest Rahm wasn’t going to produce a positive test if he was vaccinated. To say otherwise, like Mr. Oller suggests, is a lie and misinformation. There have been many cases of Covid-19 positives despite the fact the individuals were vaccinated.
Many people haven’t been vaccinated for all sort of medical reasons, but that’s something to be discuss between a patient and his or her doctor.
Mr. Oller is not a doctor, and epidemiologist, nor an expert on infectious diseases. He doesn’t know what Jon Rahm discussed with his doctor regarding the vaccine.
It has been reported that he received the first shot once he found out he became in a contact with an individual who tested positive. As with any vaccine, they are not a guarantee nor a cure.
Mr. Oller gave his uniformed “opinion” and as the say goes; opinions are like (fill in the blank), everyone has one. For that Oller gets “The Bonehead of the Week” award.
