Well over 99% of the people who die from COVID are unvaccinated. The virus, especially the delta variant, is surging in the Republican-led states of Florida, Texas and Missouri.
You could easily mistake a map of vaccination rates across the country for a map of the 2020 presidential election returns. Almost all U.S. counties below 20% vaccination rates lean Republican, and almost all above 65% lean Democratic. According to CDC data, the 20 states with the highest vaccination rates all voted for Biden.
Republicans have loudly celebrated their “success” at discouraging vaccinations. At the largest Republican gathering this spring, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Dallas, the press reported that “attendees cheered and clapped that Biden had not been able to 'sucker' people and had missed his goal of vaccinating 70% of adults.”
so wild, it’s literally killing off their voter base.

Why? What would GC bring to the table?
A shiny new thing to distract the fan base for a short period of time I’m assuming.

from the story, the vaccine provides 91% efficacy. We're going to see some vaccinated people still get the disease. I suspect as time rolls on here we'll see more and more effective vaccines and the number creeps closer to 100% but that might take a few years.
Age is also a factor, it seems the vaccines can sometimes produce less of an immune response in older populations (in the example provided by the poster, a nursing home).

In response to Pfizer vaccine
Results While the majority of participants in both groups produced specific IgG antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, titers were significantly lower in elderly participants. Although the increment of antibody levels after the second immunization was higher in elderly participants, the absolute mean titer of this group remained lower than the <60 group. After the second vaccination, 31.3 % of the elderly had no detectable neutralizing antibodies in contrast to the younger group, in which only 2.2% had no detectable neutralizing antibodies.

Way to put words in his mouth. Don't bother arguing with this guy he'll just make all kinds of logical leaps and defensive sidesteps.

If you are somebody who watched that story last night and you were not choked up or moved to take Covid more seriously then you are not someone I don’t want in my life. Absolutely a crushing and heartbreaking story told with such courage and raw emotion. Thanks beyond words to this woman for sharing this story.
By the by, my wife and I just returned from getting our Pfizer jab. Seems like more and more posters here have got their first. I’m kind of curious about what percentage of cdc’ers have been vaccinated.
Mid 30's teacher here still waiting.

Personally, seeing the amount of people here would disturb me too. But aren't the people in this image adequately distanced apart? Maybe the angle or perspective of the photo doesn't show the whole picture, but it looks like people are sticking to their families in that pic.
That’s like.... one Elementary school classroom worth of people.

So now I'm reading Dr. Henry is wanting residents to avoid travel in their own province, but the province is still open for anyone out of province to come and vist still....
When I see crap like this I can't take anything they say serious anymore, what a joke.
I wouldn’t be sad if Bonnie was replaced by someone with some semblance of logic and leadership.
Reminds me of an old Robin Williams joke about police in the UK that don’t have guns “Stop! Or I’ll say stop again!”

What are people's best guesses? What's the number that triggers a lockdown? Do you think we'll lockdown at all?
Highly doubt it, our provincial leaders have their heads DEEP in the sand.

Nothing to see here... keep doing what you're doing, the numbers will go down by themselves. It's magic.
Beta boy Dix and buy my book Bonnie are proving themselves to be woefully inadequate as strong leaders at this time.

We're already the worst province in terms of testing rates among the big four provinces by a huge margin, might as well double down on our lack of data.
Edit - Although I guess it doesn't matter, it's not like they would act on what they found anyways.

Quebec
Ontario
Saskatchewan
Manitoba
Alberta
All have more cases per million than B.C.
Seems Dr Henry, and the people of B.C. maybe doing a better job than some would credit her for.
Also people thinking these rules being changed all the time as being bad governance have it completely backwards, imo.
I'm happy as hell to see the rules change, as the situation and knowledge changes.
Even if we accounted for Ontario being 3x our population and moved our test level from 2 million and change to 6 million and change, we'd still be 6 million tests below what Ontario has done.

BC has done 1.5 million less tests than Alberta (and Alberta has a smaller population).

Her stubbornness is so damaging here. She just refuses to be proactive, to see what is happening in Ontario and just shrug. Just continuing to say be calm, be safe blah blah is not enough.
Honestly getting pretty sick of her.

"The most transmissive variants of COVID-19 are ultimately going to take over. We've seen that in other jurisdictions and we expect to see it here," he said.
But he pushed back against public pressure to implement stronger measures to control the spread of these variants.
Don’t expect any changes. The almighty Dix has spoke. Business as usual.

Stats, and I didn’t say they’ll be playing tomorrow, at least 2 weeks, looking at the schedule we have 4 games against Ottawa which all could be scrapped anyways, next game after it the 30th against the Leafs, I’d set that as the target to return, as a bonus it’ll piss off Damien Cox if we beat them.
Took me two seconds to find articles about professional baseball players, basketball players, football players, UFC fighters, and triathletes with long haul symptoms who have never returning to prior form due to COVID. Some of these players may never be the same again.

My understanding is that teachers in Surrey were done before the end of spring break
Yeah they got in before the current plan was scrapped due to AZ recommendations. Apparently new details being announced this week.
