  1. ewww what is that. Did he tatto a partial unibrow on his face? They look like the .1% of germs lysol doesn't kill
  2. This I would agree with. people voluntarily refusing and arguing against vaccination should not be given life saving precedence over a person who has suffered an accident or needs life saving treatment. I would argue the same about the drunk driver who caused an accident or the mass shooter who got taken down by gunfire. When you make a decision that will risk your health and those around you; I feel as though your health might be a shade lower on the urgency scale than those who did everything they could or were in fact innocent
  3. He says from behind a keyboard. K Caps Lock For Democracy!
  4. Actually, that won't change anything. Kentucky has been consistently in the bottom 3 states in terms of poverty, obesity, education and income since the 70s but haven't voted differently either. The devil you know vs....
  5. No no, your entire argument is a what about ism. Keying in to the people with weight issues as though they are a current burden on our health care system in the same manner as covid and the transmissible virus it is. Conflating obesity with a preventable virus is childish and you need to knock that crap off because nobody walks outside shakes hands with Miss Johnson and contracts obesity
  6. You can't answer it Your argument is so childish it beggars belief. OBeSiTy tHoUgH derrrr
  7. @AV's Coin honestly it's dead in the water right now. Every single contractor I am talking to right now is looking towards spring/summer working in merrit, princeton and abbottsford area. There are something like 4000 homes and businesses that need rebuilding and it will almost all be government money or insurance. Having done government/insurance work in the past I assure you I can/could make 3x what i would have doing standard levels of work. If I worked 2 hours a day but was on site for 8 I was getting paid for 8. With travel, food and lodging all paid. Plus inflation. In 2 years the cost of everything has sky rocketed. We have good friends that took a small 900 sq ft home, tore the roof off and built a 2 level, 2000 sq foot home around it. 3 bed 2.5 bath and left the 2 bedroom as a separate home/suite for their parents and the building costs 3 years ago came out to around $300,000 for it all. brand new homes essentially. My sister is building a 700 sq foot 2 car garage and adding a 1 bedroom plus den carriage suite above it and the cost for that is almost $300,000 alone. The difference is 3 years on that. That's with my brother in law doing most of the work. It's absolutely insane I will add they are putting in a solar bank, have paved their driveway etc upgraded electrical in home and bought new wood burning high efficiency heating for their main home. But that cost is crazy. I am doing about 900 sq feet. 1 full bath, 1 half bath. New flooring in entire house. home levelling on floor joists to move in to beam instead of rock and cinder. Digging out some of the crawl space. Furring in an exterior wall to move water lines and furnace. New 12 foot run to add heat in to other room. Upgrading plumbing lines throughout the house. Replacing 1 full sized window, 1 patio door, 1 small bathroom window. Walling in 2 windows and 1 door and adding a full window in the room the door is being walled out of. And new kitchen. That is my reno bill and the costs I am hearing are upwards of $150,000 with me doing the demo and leg work. That's absolutely outrageous and the bulk of that is material cost which is insane. Because I am not actually putting much in the way of material in at all. I already have all new appliances, I have friends willing to do the work but the contractors I am speaking to are out of their gourds with the budget and cost. I figured it was an $80 k job, $95k tops with painting and upgrading ceiling/insulation but nope..... Honestly, I might bite the bullet and do one room at a time and all the essentials because hearing that I'm around $150,000 and 6 months worth of labour has me gun shy and not interested until the market falls out or prices come down. On a plus note, I think I DO have the rat issue entirely taken care of so that's good. Am hoping costs do come down so I can actually fix the covered carport/garage up a bit. insulate it, put in a small shed in the back yard to move non essential things like winter tires, bikes and such. That would give me a viable studio space to work in. but...that's a dream at this point with the costs I keep hearing.
  8. I find it very disturbing that dummies keep saying "turdeau" is the reason for this without actually knowing jack s*** about how our electoral system of rule works. Trudeau doesn't have ANY SAY ON PROVINCIAL HEALTH MATTERS yet intelligent people like yourself keep suggesting he's taking away freedoms. it is embarrassing how much the education system failed some people. Edit*. Doesn't matter if you're vaccinated, I just can't understand how people can call others dummies while singling out the wrong groups for their supposed injustices.
  9. In fairness they really are. There's a library of images statements and attacks on sick people or those who have lost lived ones and this is prior to covid
  10. Good catch. All of a sudden I'm fudging the numbers so I'm not credible to "them"
  11. "ish" I have to say "ish" Because if I don't all of a sudden if I get 1 single number or percentage point wrong I am "lying"
  12. Story 1 is an opinion column dated FEB 2021 with DELTA and covid alpha in which the vaccines were in fact incredibly effective by all data. It also indicates and keys in to the fact that covid stopped death and severe illness but NOT transmission Story 2 echos story 1 almost to the letter regarding the efficacy and safety regarding their vaccines involving covid alpha and Delta and is dated APRIL of 2021. I could find you preliminary stories of the las vegas concert shooter while in action stating they believed he was a muslim terrorist as well before the facts turned out he was an angry, disgruntled aging white male who was essentially excommunicated from his circles and just snapped. The thing about data and science is that every single new piece of information changes things. Vaccine X is good against virus Z but the moment Virus Z vhanges to virus Y and is 70 times more transmissible it is now not as effective against transmission but appears to be just as effective as keeping you out of the hospital. did you even read the stories you linked or?
  13. What is the risk we speak of. You say risk, that involves numbers and variables as well as pure straight math. So here's the math. 7 ish BILLION shots given out. 100k ish recorded SERIOUS VAERs incidents. vs 230 MILLION + covid cases, 5.5 ish MILLION deaths. 32 MILLION ish long term health issues attributed to covid. Which is the greater risk? If you were to draw an alligator < = >towards what the numbers, the math and the pure facts say is the greater risk; where would the alligator eat?
  14. Started in on my rums and wow is it something different The Eldorado is incredible, you can smell the sugar in it. So smooth. I'd suggest everyone try it. But this....oh my goodness this is tasty. Possibly one of the finest sipping spirits I've ever had
  15. Sugary and fatty foods are taxed to help pay for health care. Obesity is not contagious. Covid is. The small minority of unvaccinated take up a disproportionate number of ICU beds period. Your changing the goalposts to fit whatever the hell your narrative is Your argument is childish and pedantic. Grow up.
  16. Pfizer is one of how many vaccines? Did Pfizer claim it was preventative or was it politicians Come on now. Fact up. Yeh
  17. You're unwilling. Like literally unwilling to accept that by sheer volume The unvaccinated as a smaller minority make up an overwhelming share of the hospitalized Past week cases (Jan. 4-10) - Total 18,737 Not vaccinated: 3,162 (16.9%) Partially vaccinated: 599 (3.2%) Fully vaccinated: 14,976 (79.9%) Past two weeks cases hospitalized (Dec. 28 to Jan. 10) - Total 615 Not vaccinated: 194 (31.5%) Partially vaccinated: 27 (4.4%) Fully vaccinated: 394 (64.1%) Past week, cases per 100,000 population after adjusting for age (Jan. 4-10) Not vaccinated: 468.5 Partially vaccinated: 192.1 Fully vaccinated: 324.9 Past two weeks, cases hospitalized per 100,000 population after adjusting for age (Dec. 28 to Jan. 10) Not vaccinated: 47.2 Partially vaccinated: 22.2 Fully vaccinated: 8.5 That's on you. Not me
  18. US in trouble at the moment. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/us-inflation-40-year-high-1.6312003 Canada to follow.
  19. For those in the know. Over the last few weeks, Canada has approved mushrom/psilocybin use in patients, the US now has 2 states that have legalized it AND it si now listed on the US stocks as well as Canada and germany. Mindmed, Numiness, Trip, PSYK Get ready
  20. OK. So for the absolute last time. Try to follow along. Ontario has 77.518% of the ENTIRE population fully vaccinated. That is nearly 12 million people or something like that. You are saying that, and bare with me here because I will need to paint this by numbers later I think. That roughly 30% ALL cases in the hospital, or that have sought day treatment for covid related issues coming from less than 23% of the population is not alarming? IN the ICU it is almost 50/50 vaxxed to unvaxxed in Ontario, 50% ish of ALL ICU cases are coming from less than 23% of the unvaxxed population. What, and I do need you to try to understand this, has been the prevailing and consistent message among health care professionals about ICU beds and the issues clogging up ICU beds has on health care as a whole? If less than 23% of the entire population is taking up around 50% of all related ICU statistics that number is not only damning it should be slapping you in the face with how obvious and blatant the argument is
  21. It doesn't do much for transmission because the vaxx was never truly meant to stop transmission only to stop you from being hospitalized in the event of infection. Obesity, heart disease, cancer...they are not transmissible because you're selfish and ignorant. Covid.....is. My mom who passed from cancer didn't get a preventable shot. My mother in law who passed from MS complications didn't get a preventable shot. This isn't a one or the other because the one I choose isn't the one I want. This is literally hey, you can avoid pushing people who need help out of the hospital if you get this shot but you're choosing not to. That's what the anti vaxx camp or the ignorant refuse to understand. Not don't but refuse because after 2 years of repeating ourselves it's evident that they don't WANT the info. Why is it that 2 years later we're still having to tell you people this stuff?
  22. And everywhere else I asked about? Cherry picking one area of a global issue shows you're not exactly willing to look at numbers as a whole. BC for instance. new cases for unvaxxed are only 19.4% of the overall case count. But are over 1/3 of all hospitalizations. Does this not make sense to you? From Jan. 3-9, people not fully vaccinated accounted for 19.4% of cases. From Dec. 27 to Jan. 9, they accounted for 35.6% of hospitalizations. Past week cases (Jan. 3-9) - Total 19,206 Not vaccinated: 3,125 (16.3%) Partially vaccinated: 597 (3.1%) Fully vaccinated: 15,484 (80.6%) Past two weeks cases hospitalized (Dec. 27 to Jan. 9) - Total 422 Not vaccinated: 135 (32.0%) Partially vaccinated: 15 (3.6%) Fully vaccinated: 272 (64.4%) Past week, cases per 100,000 population after adjusting for age (Jan. 3-9) Not vaccinated: 462.5 Partially vaccinated: 195.4 Fully vaccinated: 336.1 Past two weeks, cases hospitalized per 100,000 population after adjusting for age (Dec. 27 to Jan. 9) Not vaccinated: 33.1 Partially vaccinated: 11.7 Fully vaccinated: 5.8
