Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins does not want to get Covid-19, he doesn’t want to miss games or practice because of Covid.

Earlier this week, Cousins returned to the Vikings after being forced to miss four practices because of Covid protocols. The Vikings quarterback has not been vaccinated, which means if Cousins is deemed a close contact of a teammate who tests positive for Covid, then he must enter a five-day quarantine period. Prior to training camp, the NFL released a separate set of rules for vaccinated and unvaccinated players, in an effort to prevent Covid outbreaks and incentivize players getting the jab

Frustrated by the time away from practice, Cousins vowed to “do whatever it takes” to avoid the virus. Except to this point, he won’t get vaccinated, which offers the easiest and most effective protection from Covid.

Instead, Cousins said he’s considering an elaborate plan of surrounding himself with plexiglass to avoid catching Covid from a teammate and to ensure he is not in close contact of anyone who tests positive.

“I’m going to be vigilant about avoiding a close contact,” Cousins declared on Thursday. “I’ve even thought about, should I just set up, literally, plexiglass around where I sit so that this could never happen again. I’ve thought about it, cause I’m gonna do whatever it takes.”

When asked, ‘why not just get the vaccine?’ Cousins answered, “the vaccination decision is a private, very private health matter for me.”

As soon as Twitter found out Cousins’ “whatever it takes” to avoid Covid includes surrounding himself with plexiglass, but not getting vaccinated, they ganged up on the Vikings quarterback.
