  1. Anyone else having an issue with Telus on this channel? Rest of Roger's channels are fine.
  2. So they test positive, which you're saying is a false positive, then test negative and all is fine? Wtf lol
  3. Wild how a positive test, even asymptomatic or lightly so, means you don't get to play. Players as passionate as Miller and Demko must be getting beyond pissed off.
  4. To jump in here, my thought process regarding masks and therapeutics has nothing to do with privilege or political ideology. I've had 2 flu shots, and both times I got more sick than any flu I've ever had naturally. So when this shot was released, I decided, based on self risk assessment, geography (I live in an isolated town of 15k) that it made more sense to wait and see. Considering the fact this is the first vaccine of its nature, it made sense to me to do so. I don't get angry with people who chose to get it, nor do I not don a mask in stores that require it. Since then, it has become politicized and those who chose to not take it are ostracized. That's not what common health is about, and that's why I am and will continue to be unvaxxed. Worst case scenario, I can get it done at any time. Worst case scenario for you, is you have to get your 7th booster to attend a concert.
  5. I entered this conversation quoting someone else's post. As I said privately, in which you took upon yourself to message me, you can read my posts or not.
  6. I'm not afraid to pass it to others as studies by Bloomberg in particular showed the viral load is the same, so being vaxxed or not makes no difference other than possibly lessening the effects if I were to get sick.
  7. There's plenty of information beyond MSM that backs up what I'm saying regarding Omicron. Regardless, the numbers speak for themselves. 30k deaths, in two years in Canada of people with Covid. 1.8 million cases. That's a recovery rate of 98.4%. That's also only about 5% of the population who have even had it. The odds of you getting it in the first place and further dying from it are tiny. The fear is unnecessary.
  8. Studies in Israel, the most highly vaccinated country on the planet, show that the virus isn't fazed by the vaccine. As it mutates, it bypasses the vaccine. Typical for Corona and Rhinoviruses. This is why the influenza shot runs generally at about 40% efficacy. You're right, you can't train nurses and HCW's overnight. So by that rationale, you think firing the same people that were on the frontlines for a year and who choose not to take an experimental therapeutic is beneficial to a society during a pandemic? The vaccine passport has been in effect for months and we are at a higher caseload than since before vaccinations were available. How, in any way, is it effective? How can a non sick person who isn't vaxxed be more dangerous than an asymptomatic vaxxed person who unknowingly spreads the virus? How can the overwhelmingly majority of transmission be amongst the unvaxxed when we aren't allowed to socialize? You're contradicting yourself with every sentence. I disagree. It should be based on self risk assessment. My parents are vaxxed, as they are generally more at risk. I am not. None of us to date have had Covid and I personally haven't had a sniffle in more than 5 years. I must be a medical marvel.
  9. Someone having a mullet doesn't necessarily make them stupid. That's the stereotyping I was alluding to. I can't really say I care what people think about my "ringwing" propaganda.
  10. Oh Heffy, uninformed as always. How is it that 8% or so of unvaccinated people in BC are somehow managing to increase cases beyond those seen before vaccinations were even available? We can't go to high concentration areas of possible transmission, like a hockey game or concert or restaurant. The continued blame game won't solve a thing.
  11. The original Alpha variant was the strongest of all, which again is how viruses work. However, it wasn't as transmissable as Delta was. As the virus mutated and became weaker, but more contagious, it infected and killed already highly at risk people. Influenza and pneumonia work the same way. I, being a 36 year old healthy person will recover from a strain of flu just fine whereas the same strain will kill an 84 year old, for example. Omicron may put more strain on healthcare, yes. I do think our federal and provincial funding should be aimed directly at increasing critical care units. Instead, it's being targeted towards vaccine passport programs which haven't shown to improve the transmission of Covid whatsoever. If this were the type of disease that literally dropped people in the streets, the vaccine wouldn't be nearly as contentious as it is. For what it's worth, I'm up to date with every other vaccine for my age group and I signed off on the first round of HPV for my oldest daughter. I'm not an "anti-vaxxer" in the terms that MSM would like people to believe. The science behind the MRNA makes sense and for whoever chooses to take it should do so. I do not believe, and never will, that coercion and ostracization of those choosing otherwise is the way out.
  12. That's not true at all lol. If an ill, elderly person doesn't contrac pneumonia, they won't die from it. When a similar virus is more contagious, the transmission is more likely, therefore so is death. There's a reason the mortality rate is incredibly low across the board other than for the 80+ range. I have 3 family members in healthcare, so? Unless you happen to be an virologist, your opinion is no more valid than any one else's. There has been one confirmed case of death from Omicron as far as I'm aware. That does not scream "deadly variant" to me at this point.
