  1. Exactly. I have access to years of getting flu shots. I can even see which pharmacy/location supplied the shot. Not very hard in the digital age.
  2. I posted one of the charts from the article. It looks like increasing the interval between shots can lead to better protection. A lot of the info on waning protection is coming from jurisdictions that stuck to the 3-4 week interval (like the US). Whereas here we have lots of people who went much longer between doses. https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canada-vaccine-effectiveness-data-delayed-doses-mixing-matching-covid-19-vaccines-1.6205993?fbclid=IwAR2NKMqOBGHPDAjWN0dkFOJeXAR1NULdLBknx3gMXRq4Ltd8uFzYSLQghmM New data suggests Canada's 'gamble' on delaying, mixing and matching COVID-19 vaccines paid off Early data suggests strong protection against delta, no evidence for boosters in the general population yet
  3. Well for those wondering. Mess around and find out. Sounds like the people running it are on the covidiot side and think they can just ignore orders. Going to get expensive as they think this is ridiculous. Enough businesses get dinged, they will take thus seriously. https://globalnews.ca/news/8252256/rollys-restaurant-vaccine-passport-business-licence/ Restaurant in Hope, B.C. has business licence pulled for defying vaccine passport

  5. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-vaccine-mandate-1.6201528 Federal public servants, RCMP and air and rail travellers must be vaccinated by month's end, Trudeau says All would-be travellers must be fully vaccinated by Oct. 30 to board planes, trains or marine vessels
  6. We return to regularly scheduled programing. I don't know if I could go months without smell/taste. https://www.vcuhealth.org/news/covid-19/those-under-40-are-more-likely-than-older-adults-to-recover-covid-related-smell-and-taste-loss Those under 40 more likely than older adults to recover COVID-related smell and taste loss Ongoing survey tracking smell and taste recovery of COVID-19 survivors shows 4 out of every 5 recover senses within 6 months.
  7. Your arguments have been done before and much much better BTW. It's one thing to present an alternative without evidence or based on faulty information/logic. It's another thing to present that position with sources, data, evidence. You've done the former, not the latter. And to top it all off, you started having a temper tantrum calling people names and such. So ya, conspiracy theorists is an apt description.
  8. Sticks and stones may break my bones but names never hurt me. The guy throwing personal attacks thinks he's winning. Lol
  9. Seems the person who feels superior is you. You are in your bubble and you hate different opinion. The projection is strong. We hate when there are assertions made without evidence. Hitchens had something to say about that. We hate that you think only people with kids can make decisions about children. Like having a kid is a special skill that grants you super powers. It doesn't.
  10. Don't just watch the news there buddy. Number of us actually look at peer reviewed articles and post publicly available data. Thing is there pal, many MSM articles and segments are based on those peer reviewed articles and that publicly available data. So if you have a problem with thst, then PLEASE PLEASE provide us with your approved sources. Tell us what data you used that tells you this isn't a serious situation of global proportions.
  11. Anti-vaxx guy likely had asymptomatic Covid-19. Now his career might be toast due to a heart condition. https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/oilers-josh-archibald-indefinitely-heart-condition/ Oilers' Josh Archibald out indefinitely with heart condition
  12. There it is CONSPIRACY. Well, real conspiracies (MK-Ultra, the Tuskegee experiment, etc) have mechanisms and attempt to minimize 3 areas: 1) Number of active participants. The more people actively participating in a conspiracy, the more chances it can be exposed. Many involve some sort of vetting prior to a person learning the particulars. Need to know is a common phrase. A giant conspiracy involving thousands or participants with little mechanisms in place to accept new members means your invocation of a conspiracy fails here big time. 2) Amount of exposure both in terms of location and time. The more places and the longer a particular conspiracy is active, the greater chance of it being exposed. Some conspiracies may have been active for years, but they were limited in the locations where the actual conspiracy was being active (Tuskegee for example). Your conspiracy that you are invoking is GLOBAL and has been going on for more than a year non-stop all the while people have been following this closely. It fails here big time. 3) Number of agencies/agents involved. The saying here is keep thing in house. The more outside agencies involved, the less control there is. I know that there are all kinds of conspiracies involved, but when US intelligence learned where Bin Laden was, they didn't go telling other agencies like the FBI or their allies that they found him. They didn't go the the Afghans or Pakistanis that they were going to conduct a covert mission to get him. They didn't tell any agencies outside of the need to know what they were doing until it was over. Your conspiracy involves multiple health and pharma corporations, many direct competitors. It involves many governments from across the political spectrum. It involves independent researchers not funded by big pharma. This conspiracy would require multiple publishers and media corporations with many being direct competitors. Your conspiracy fails here as well. So, it is either a massive, unbelievable conspiracy. OR A handful of snake oil salesmen like Alex Jones have bamboozled a bunch of gullible people into believing their snake oil. I'll take the latter.
  13. Looks like it won't be much longer after the FDA approves for use in 5 - 11 that Health Canada will follow. https://www.cp24.com/news/pfizer-submits-trial-data-on-vaccine-use-in-children-aged-5-to-11-to-health-canada-1.5608659 Pfizer submits trial data on vaccine use in children aged 5 to 11 to Health Canada
  14. So, end of the month will be the meeting for 5-11 age group's approval. Mid-month for Moderna and J&J boosters. I have a feeling they will go a similar route as with the Pfizer booster (65 and older). https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-hold-advisory-committee-meetings-discuss-emergency-use-authorization-booster-doses-and-covid-19 FDA to Hold Advisory Committee Meetings to Discuss Emergency Use Authorization for Booster Doses and COVID-19 Vaccines for Younger Children Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is announcing two upcoming meetings of its Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) to discuss newly available data for the currently available COVID-19 vaccines. VRBPAC Meeting on Janssen and Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters On Oct. 14 and 15, the advisory committee will meet to discuss the use of booster doses of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine and the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. Both vaccines are currently authorized for emergency use to prevent COVID-19 in individuals 18 years of age and older. The committee will also hear presentations and discuss the available data on the use of a booster of a different vaccine than the one used for the primary series of an authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine (heterologous or “mix and match” booster). “Vaccines are one of the most important interventions for bringing an end to the ongoing pandemic. It’s critical that as many eligible individuals as possible get vaccinated as soon as possible. Once vaccinated, we want to ensure that individuals continue to be protected against the adverse effects of COVID-19. The available data make clear that protection against symptomatic COVID-19 in certain populations begins to decrease over time, so it’s important to evaluate the information on the use of booster doses in various populations,” said Peter Marks, M.D., Ph.D., director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research. On Oct. 14, the committee will discuss an amendment to the emergency use authorization of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine for the administration of a booster dose, in individuals 18 years of age and older. On Oct. 15, the VRBPAC will discuss amending the emergency use authorization of Johnson and Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine for the administration of a booster dose, in individuals 18 years of age and older. Additionally, on Oct. 15, the committee will hear a presentation from the National Institute of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on the heterologous use of booster doses following the primary series of the three currently authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccines. During the meeting, the committee will hear presentations from the companies on the data for their respective vaccines. The FDA will also present its own analyses of each of the manufacturers’ data. There will be an open public hearing each day during which the public will be given an opportunity to provide comments. VRBPAC Meeting on Pfizer Data on Its COVID-19 Vaccine for Children 5-11 The FDA anticipates receiving a request from Pfizer to amend its emergency use authorization to allow the use of its COVID-19 vaccine in children 5 through 11 years of age. In anticipation of the request, the FDA is moving forward with scheduling an advisory committee meeting on Oct. 26 to inform the agency’s decision-making. “We know from our vast experience with other pediatric vaccines that children are not small adults, and we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of clinical trial data submitted in support of the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine used in a younger pediatric population, which may need a different dosage or formulation from that used in an older pediatric population or adults,” said Acting FDA Commissioner Janet Woodcock, M.D. The FDA intends to make background materials for both VRBPAC meetings available to the public, including the meeting agendas and committee rosters, no later than two business days before each meeting. The FDA intends to livestream the VRBPAC meetings on the agency’s YouTube page (Oct. 14 meeting linkExternal Link Disclaimer; Oct. 15 meeting linkExternal Link Disclaimer; Oct. 26 meeting linkExternal Link Disclaimer), which will be viewable on the agency’s FacebookExternal Link Disclaimer and TwitterExternal Link Disclaimer channels; the meetings will also be webcast from the FDA website.
  15. Man, I wish something like this happens here. The anti-vaxx crowd would lose it. California will soon require all students in both public and private schools to get the COVID-19 vaccine once the shot is fully authorized by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for different age groups.Gov. Gavin Newsom announced the new emergency order on Friday while visiting a middle school in San Francisco. The COVID-19 vaccine will now join a list of 10 other vaccinations required for children to attend school in the state. https://abc7.com/california-schools-vaccine-mandate-kids-covid-vaccination-student-vaccines-gavin-newsom/11068251/ California to require eligible students in public, private schools be vaccinated against COVID-19
  16. Kinda like with Black History Month. Thing is, change takes time, which is the sad part for the people caught up in all this. For them, it can't come quick enough.
  17. All because had a bad "reaction" that one time they got the flu shot. I put reaction in quotes because flu shots are typically given in the fall, when kids are spreading the plague at school. It's likely the kids passed them a bad cold when they were getting the shot.
  18. I can remember hearing things like "they need to get over it." Thing is, those people either didn't know enough or cared enough to understand that there are victims walking among us. The schools were still in operation while I was in school. And as Hip rightly pointed out, new victims (be it in a different but related way) are being created. Things need to change. We need to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.
  19. Israel reporting similar findings to what's being reported here. The chart shows that "breakthrough" cases resulting in hospitalization tend towards the older individuals. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/these-unvaccinated-10-fuel-israel-s-covid-crisis-1.10251639 These Unvaccinated 10% Fuel Israel's COVID Crisis In Israel, COVID is fast becoming a pandemic of the unvaccinated: Of the 644 patients in serious condition on Tuesday, 73 percent were from the small population of eligible Israelis who had not received any shots
  20. This chart tries to demonstrate the bs way Florida is reporting their deaths. Let's say that there were 300 deaths two weeks ago, but only 50 were confirmed at the time. They are only reporting 50 deaths. Today, there were 350 deaths but only 40 were confirmed and those 250 deaths from 2 weeks ago were finally confirmed. Well, the two week old deaths gets adjusted from 50 to 300, but today's total is only 40. It gives the impression that today's data is much much better than 2 weeks ago, but in reality it isn't.
