People have negative reactions to various vaccines. However, it will be difficult to prove a, the vaccine did cause it, b, the team forced him to get it, c, the negative reaction was an anomaly from the norm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can he prove it impacted him negatively? Also, what would the motivation be for the Sox to pressure a fringe prospect into getting it?

Quin Posted yesterday at 03:56 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:56 AM I kinda hope the Sox use his prospect ranking against him because I immediately went "who?" 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes people have negative reactions and there is no way to predict it. From the wording in the article, I wonder if his claim is focused on the Sox not giving him adequate treatment for his bad reaction moreso than making him get the shot in the first place. Not sure how plausible it is that quicker treatment or whatever would have any long-term impact on his recovery from the reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounded to me like the claim was they pushed him into getting them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
