I think some of the people in this thread are for some reason assuming that we think the vaccine is a 100% full-proof cure, and if it isn't, then it's not worth pursuing It's all about managing risk, people. Risk. Reducing likelihood, not eliminating it, which is practically impossible.

Precisely. Re-posting the article below to reinforce the point above.

Just like how when you're drinking and driving and you're more likely to get into an accident; when you are unvaccinated you are more likely to contract the virus and spread it. You can live your life as is if you choose to be unvaccinated, but be prepared to deal with inconveniences to your life. We're not taking about denying unvaccinated people healthcare or rights to other public goods, but when it comes to more discretionary activities such as going out to restaurants or clubs, you could be questioned at the very least. As for your last point, the private sector

If an area is already considered a "hot spot" it's too late - people are already getting admitted to hospitals and ICUs. Public health measures are always more effective when they are implemented proactively, not reactively. Unfortunately, throughout this pandemic, a lot of people don't seem to be able to get a grasp of the situation until they see hospitals at max capacity and healthcare professionals pushed to the brink of being completely overwhelmed. And please, for the love of god, cut the crap with the dictatorship comparisons. You don't need to politicize a public health cr

The brains of some people in this thread: Reap the privileges of living in a 1st world, western democracy ease of access to vaccines when others are begging to get shots free healthcare in a public health system that doesn't collapse on itself during a pandemic but complains about government overreach and "big pharma" when told to put on a mask for the collective safety of others when told to show proof of vaccination when entering public spaces that are susceptible to outbreaks when failing to realize that we live in a capitalist society whi

I wouldn't take it that far, but yes, these are just accusations at this point - nothing has been proven.

950k seems to be pretty cheap for Perreault. Not bad.

Just makes me wonder what they're going to do if Byram pans out and meets all the hype.

Is this the first time Sakic played hardball and lost?

Lol what? They were pretty clear about how the Sedins joined to learn about the business of the game. They even said themselves that they're coming on as "rookies." Not sure how that translates to "babysitting Jim."

TSN and Sportsnet strangely quiet on this signing. Has this been confirmed? Anyone got a Tweet from Lebrun. Dreger, Friedman, etc?

That's a terrible take. Why would you put any weight on commentary from our toxic radio pundits. I'll open my ears when more reputable people like Ferraro, Friedman, etc chime in.

When you guys re-post this stuff, do you even understand what any of those analytics mean? Not saying I do by any means, but I'm not the one regurgitating the same thing.

Has any of the big networks announced this? I noticed all Canuck signings have been verified already by TSN or Sportsnet, but this Poolman one hasn't.
