Press that share button. Organize this now. Get the word out. Wave that flag. It's time for a common symbol.

What an ingenious strategy! Thank you for sharing this inspiring story. Let’s hope the yellow armbands catch on.

And that tweet poll from Alyssa Milano is VERY encouraging—92% of HER audience, likely almost 100% Covidians! Coming for the children may backfire big-time 🤞

Brilliant! Why only on Sundays, and only in relation to the football season? Why not everyday? I support medical autonomy everyday. I like the origin story around Aaron Rodgers, but it leaves the movement vulnerable to sabotage if unrelated character attacks were somehow established, substantiated or not. I like the origin story and definitely think it should be kept, but should represent the medical autonomy of all unvaccinated and vaccinated for future medical treatments. And should be done 24/7/365. Maybe too nitpicky? Not my intent! Love you efforts! Keep that PG workflow coming!

My husband and I have been wearing these yellow wrist bands since July when training camp started and we learned of this discriminatory policy. We will be glad to see this trend grow.

A German city handed out yellow round brooches for the vaxxed and then the organisators were surprised, when there was a huge backlash. At least these brooches were round and not star shaped.

I have placed an order for 1000 yellow wrist bands with “FREEDOM” printed in black.

I’ll list on eBay if that’s easiest? If not I can just take PayPal. Not looking to cash out here. Additionally, I can send additional bracelets (maybe not as pretty) that you can give away. Let me know what works best.

That price was what was needed for the fees and shipping that eBay now estimates. I’ll say $5 for one is high. I can sell that way and add bracelets (just mention RTE when you pay), or can do direct through PayPal. Madsunz@yahoo.com is that address. Let me know how many you want and I will ship that many plus a few more.

Thanks. I placed my order. PayPal participates in the cancel culture so I avoid using them when possible.

I have been advocating yellow wristbands for a long time in case we got shut out from venues, such as being forced to eat outside restaurants. So I wear a yellow arm band, and if you want to go one step further, you can wear a yellow star of David, saying "Vaccin macht frei."

Just an FYI - I have ordered yellow bracelets with “FREEDOM” embossed in black. I received them, and the ones that are good look great. That said, about 40% of them are somewhat defective (air bubbles, short shot molded, etc.). The vendor I used responded quickly but no idea if/when I’ll have resolution.

Interesting that we overlook that Aaron Rodgers lied, it seems that he hoped that no one would find out - that he decided to make his 'stand'.

At least Kyrie Irving was wiling to pay the price for his principles. I wonder what a response Rodgers would have if he was black. Open arms?

You have a yellow star, really?

Wearing a yellow star says so much of the person's knowledge of history, not to mention Americans feelings of entitlement and persecution. A sad indictment of the US education system.

So - you are aware of the historical importance of the yellow star, and still think that this is the smartest way to show your feelings of persecution?
