    I'll give you a picture.  This is why it was quick.  I'll add another reason.  Each step involves red tape at both the company and government level.  That red tape was streamlined.  Also, all Covid related drugs/vaccines were moved to the front of the line, where under normal circumstances, they would have to wait their turn.  Furthermore, there was no shortage of volunteers and locations to run the trials.  Pfizer had over 40,000 participants.  Also, they were allowed to submit their data as they collected it as opposed to waiting until the end.

     

    Then, we had multiple jurisdictions from around the world monitoring the vaccines. 

     

    So no, not experimental.

     

    That chart literally proves that it is experimental. The timeline is simply too short to gauge potential problems. That's why it's a several year process. The mental gymnastics required to insist that this time frame is in fact proof of post-experimental status is amusing. Larger trial patient size doesn't replace the linear time required to insure safety parameters fit into our public health model.

    That is factually incorrect and you can not for one second provide evidence that medical professionals in Canada have been stripped of their licenses or threatened for simply prescribing Ivermectin.  So please start posting statements WITH evidence that this is ALL they were doing to have been threatened with the loss of their medical license.

     

    Because (and this is important)

     

    Medical professionals in Canada do not lose their licenses for something as simple as that.

    Okay, his license hasn't been revoked, but they restricted his practice.

    Also,  Dr. Daniel Nagase has been reprimanded and effectively fired from his practice.

    None of that supports your claim that the vaccines are experimental. I'll take Heath Canada's opinion over some guy who claims to be a professional, yet has a differing viewpoint from almost every other medical professional.

    I never claimed to be a professional in the field. Simply that I've listened to doctors in the classroom about this stuff. And you say almost every other medical professional. That's simply not true. Doctors in Canada and other countries have had their licenses stripped, or have been summarily threatened with having their license revoked. For something as benign as prescribing or recommending ivermectin. I can start posting their statements in here..

    @RUPERTKBD

    Actually, it does support the statement that the vaccines are experimental, since they've never been tested in the long-established protocols for vaccine development.

    23 posts.

     

    Many involve statements about social justice and other hot button buzzwords.  Then BEELINES it for the covid thread.

     

    not fishy at all.

    I'm being respectful. And I haven't put forward any conspiracy theories.

    Pro tip: If you want to make it to 50 posts, check out the advice from @-SN- 4 posts above yours.

    Just because Health Canada has approved the vaccines, doesn't change any time lines, or vaccine development policy which is well established and followed. Vaccine development parameters are in place as to avoid unnecessary harm to people.

    that's the German insurance company that will not cover mRNA damages.

  6. The nearly 20,000 eye disorders reported to VigiBase, a database for the WHO maintained by the Uppsala Monitoring Centre(UMC) in Uppsalla, Sweden, include:

    • Eye pain (4616)
    • Blurred vision  (3839)
    • Photophobia or light intolerance (1808)
    • Visual impairment (1625)
    • Eye swelling (1162)
    • Ocular hyperaemia or red eyes (788)
    • Eye irritation (768)
    • Itchy eyes or eye pruritus (731)
    • Watery eyes or increased lacrimation (653)
    • Double vision or diplopia (559)
    • Eye strain or asthenopia (459)
    • Dry eye (400)
    • Swelling around the eye or periorbital swelling (366)
    • Swelling of eyelid (360)
    • Flashes of light in the field of vision or photopsia (358)
    • Blindness (303)
    • Eyelid oedema (298)
    • Eye or ocular discomfort (273)
    • Conjunctival haemorrhage or breakage of a small eye vessel (236)
    • Blepharospasm or abnormal contraction of an eye muscle(223)
    • Vitreous floaters (192)
    • Periorbital oedema (171)
    • Eye haemorrhage (169)

    More than half of the eye disorders (10, 667) were also reported to the U.K.’s Yellow Card adverse event reporting system. These would have followed injection primarily of AstraZeneca’s and Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines but included eight reports of eye disorders among the 228 reports concerning Moderna’s vaccine, of which only 100,000 first doses had been administered by April 21.

    I would have expected that someone who's "studied Immunology at the University level" to know that the vaccines are hardly "experimental....

     

    My guess is that he "studied" at "Youtube University".....:rolleyes:

    The mRNA vaccines are experimental by definition. The government of Japan has made it clear to its citizens. Insurance companies are starting to release their updated policies. These state that people who have been hurt by mRNA vaccines are not eligible for compensation because they opted to participate in an experimental program, that has known side effect dangers which is easily accessible information. They're claiming clotshot damage is something that could have been avoided through due diligence.

    Prior to fast tracking the mRNA shots, they had only been tested on animals. And those tests were ongoing because of adverse reaction complications. Usually a vaccine safety and efficacy rollout is several years. And for good reason as not all vaccines are the same, and there's decades of incidents where Pharma has had to pay out huge settlements specifically for their vaccine products.

    I agree with you wholeheartedly with most of your post. 
     

    The only disagreement I have is that I don’t think people hate ‘white men’, even on Commercial Drive. That being a euphemism for people of First Nations, I presume. 
     

    I think the  ‘white guy’ has been entitled for so long, that it gets some pushback nowadays. That goes toward entitled and oblivious white women as well, BUT, we should never paint any culture, race( I hate that term as we’re all from the human race), or gender with one stroke of our opinionated brush. 
     

    All cultures have assholes. Assholes are a mainstay/commonality across all genders, cultures, ethnicities, and ages. 
     

    The more accepting, inclusive, and patient to people who aren’t like ‘us’/‘you’, the less of an asshole we/you are. 
     

    And that’s really the best way to be.

     

    That goes for everyone…not just ‘white’ men or women. Whatever ‘white’ means.
     

     
     

     

    I'm not going to assume you're devoid of post secondary schooling within the last decade.

    But just in case you missed the ride, 
    Commercial Drive is a good blanket derision  for describing white hate as it stands within the CBC(state sanctioned media) and the Tenure track state of Professors that make up the so-called intellectual class of higher academia.
    Just observing the basic social environment of the last 2 years, especially in America, warrants a reexamination of what you're implying. Cuz you're implying that for any nation to have an identity that's attached to history and ethnic nationalism, is somehow lesser than a culture that exalts diversity of a materially observable nature, that being the colour of skin, colour of eyes, and colour of hair, in that order of importance. Which is of course attached and bound to genetics. Which is bound to linear historical pathways, ultimately defined by geography and chance.

    Thus the ability to play 5 vs 5 hockey becomes paramount, and, wouldn't you know, the Vancouver Midgets are #1 in the league 5 vs 5.  Who'dathunk?

    In the regular season.

    Did we learn anything from the 2011 cup run?

    Hits average out. Better have the roster that can meet that.

    5 vs 5 regular season stats on paper... literally meaningless in the playoffs. It's an attrition war over multiple (4)5-7 game series. It's a truism at this point, after watching 20+ years of this team. 

    Luck plays a part. Heart plays a huge part. Physics plays a part. 
    It's a mix. ie, Sedins getting speed bagged in front of the net and getting a game misconduct out of it. Playoffs are whack

    The one variable you can control is size and tenacity. Make it a team culture. Anyone doing the Jake dank dance can **(* off

    But to deny that size and the skill to throw it isn't huge for playoff success...

     

    well, 

    agree to disagree

  10. The playoffs,


    Refs put their whistles away, and seem to favour certain hockey markets over others. 
    This is when players policing each other actually becomes a big part of the game.

    Small size doesn't mean nearly as much during the regular season as compared to the playoffs. 
    The height to weight ratio for NHL athletes is fairly consistent. Need that weight to go the distance.

    Honestly to me it's the angle of the gloves. If he wanted to imitate a primate he would have turned his gloves to have the palms facing backwards. But they're curled inwards like he's flexing his chest.

    Do you have a link to the video footage?

    Sounds like the establishment is starting to see racism everywhere, after that minor league racist incident a couple months back.
    There's something almost more racist about making a big deal out of the gesture taunt. They're acting like he mimed pealing a banana and scratching his armpits.

  12. Miller is the obvious trade option. I love his tenacity and rounded high-end skillset.

    But, Boeser is younger, hasn't hit his ceiling I think, and Miller is going to have better returns. I like to give the in-house draft talent a longer leash.

    It all depends on what's being offered for one of our key pieces. Might make sense to just hold for now and see how the season unfolds. If we make the playoffs, if anything Miller's worth may be higher in the off season.

    Wonder if it will ever come for PC again...

    Yeah, #metoo

    I'd buy it. Haven't bought EA NHL since the last year it was on PC

    There's a really cool mod for the NHL 2k11 game for the Wii
    It's modded with controller mapping, high resolution, sim-focused. Plays on dolphin

    It's called NHL 2KHS

    I haven't played it yet, but I'm going to try and nerd down on it. It's a passion project, so if any of you like the idea of a WIP mod that is simulation centric, look it up on youtube.
