Wife of Bills’ safety Jordan Poyer has found herself in the middle of controversy concerning the team’s vaccine mandate at Highmark Stadium.
Last week, the team alongside with the Erie County heal department announced that fans attending games will have to show proof of vaccination.

In compliance with the Erie County Department of Health’s directive, the Buffalo Bills and Highmark Stadium announced Tuesday that all guests age 12 and older will be required to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination to attend Bills home games.
For the games on September 26 and October 3, fans will be permitted to enter with one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Beginning with the October 31 game, guests must be fully vaccinated for entry. Guests are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after their second dose in a two-dose series, such as the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, or two weeks after a single-dose vaccine, such as Johnson & Johnson’s vaccine.
Poyer’s wife Rachel Bush, who has been openly critical of the vaccine and local mandates on social media, was at the Bills home game on Sunday which led to questions about her vaccination status.
At least one unvaccinated individual got into the bills game, maybe a fake vaccine card? Hmmmm Rachel? pic.twitter.com/46i7Dw0IKf

So…
A) Rachel Bush finally got a vaccine shot? (Doubtful)
B) A fake vaccine card? (A literal crime)
C) An "exception" being made for a player's wife?Would love to hear the explanation here. https://t.co/NHgzdhnTMd

Bush took to Twitter to respond to people asking about her vaccination status.
I love you all regardless of your vaccination status. Even those obsessed with whether or not others are vaccinated, you get love too. 😅😜 Lol I’m sure you’ll come back to your senses one day 😅

Kind reminder the vaccine is a personal choice. Nobody and no one should be able to sway you one way or the other. It is your decision and your decision alone to make based off of the facts presented.

My question is why are negative covid tests not allowed to enter Bills Games? If this was really about our health wouldn’t it be that way?Especially since we know even when fully vaccinated we can still get covid as well as pass it along. Disappointed in those who agreed to this
