    Former NFL player Phillip Adams, who shot to death six people and killed himself, suffered from CTE.
    USA Today (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 75% • 5 min read

    CTE, the neurodegenerative disease linked to concussions and repetitive head trauma from contact sports, has been associated with behavioral and mood changes. In 2017, the Boston University CTE Center reported that 110 of the 111 [NFL] players they’d examined suffered from CTE.
    ...
    Of the possible link between violence and CTE, [Ann McKee, a neuropathologist who led the examination of Adams' brain] said, "We have even seen homicidal behavior in other individuals diagnosed with CTE. It’s difficult to say that it alone resulted in these behaviors because usually it’s a complicated issue with many other factors."
    ...
    Adams was "desperately'' seeking help from the NFL, according to a statement from his family. "He wasn't a monster. He was struggling with his mental health," [said Adams' sister]. McKee said "the holy grail of our research'' would be to find a way to detect CTE in living people because it would provide the ability to monitor how the disease responds to specific therapies. CTE can be diagnosed only after death.

Should Covid-19 vaccine mandates have religious exemptions?

521 votes, 76 comments

Context: Supreme Court declines to block New York's removal of religious exemptions from a Covid-19 vaccine mandate.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - There are many people of faith who struggle with the fact that the vaccines were tested or produced using material that comes from previously aborted fetuses. While there are ways to produce and test vaccines without the use of these cell lines, the companies producing the vaccines don't appear to want to use them. People try to live their faith the best they can, and there are many things out of their control [...] This is something they can personally control that goes against their faith, and the constitution protects that.


No - There are multiple vaccines that these medical workers have been required to receive in the past that have also used cells derived from...
