  1. yes, well, for the record the assertion that it was foolproof was never made despite some advocates, particularly the one above your post, around here suggesting it was which of course is dishonest at a minimum and possibly deliberate too.
  2. Not really. I'm not the one getting upset about others exercising their right to what they do with their own body unlike half the peanut gallery in this thread here.
  3. They pass it the same in that they do interacting with people doing all the same activities unvaccinated people do. It's less likely but it still obviously happens, which is what I meant.
  4. And a shoutout to Kari for telling Andre to pick it up.
  5. Which won't happen here either. And it's discrimination. Vaccinated people still carry and pass the disease all the same as an unvaccinated person; it's happening all the time. What about children? Those under the age of 9 have roughly a 0.0016% chance of contracting it. What about those who can't get it for health reasons? Religious reasons. You're approving the government to open a can of worms when they can seldom do anything properly. Then permitting this also brings the question of bodily autonomy into the picture as a whole. For the record I am not "anti-vaxx" so if someone wants to peddle that horse$&!# - please don't. I simply don't approve of this concept of forcing people to do it, restricting them, whatever.
  6. Except for a few select examples such as hospital workers, mandated vaccines aren't going to become a thing so all of those wishing it were can cry their Pfizer tears.
  7. So can our athletics team, particularly Andre, not do some of these other events. Hurdles, for example, is the one that comes to mind. Practice the technique.. you'd think he'd be a threat to podium.
  8. 15.50 Euro to 19.50 Euro https://globalnews.ca/news/8077741/pfizer-and-moderna-price-hike-covid-vaccines-in-eu/
  9. Considering Pfizer and Moderna increased prices for the vaccine in EU countries and then assert booster shots are required going forward, and that much of the government is bought and paid for by big pharma, and that neither entity takes any responsibility for possible short or long term side effects or negative outcomes from the vaccine, is just one reason why this idea should obviously be opposed
  10. It's good to see what's his face get thumped by women in weightlifting.
  11. yeah, maybe. Thankfully it's not the field from 2012 because none of these guys podium with these times
  12. Good thing Bolt is retired.. Andre doesn't even podium if he's around.
  13. Ol' Donovan Bailey. I remember him whooping ass all the way back in 96.
  14. Andre looking really good. It's his gold to lose in the coming days.
  15. Double vaccinated people are being infected by the delta CDC reports, Global News reiterates.
  16. Too bad Shady El Nahas couldn't medal last night. I saw his RO16 match and then he lost in the quarter to the world number 1. He won the following match but then lost the Bronze. Our ladies got obliterated in Rugby against the Fijians as expected. Our ladies unfortunately were bested in the swimming relay and finished fourth. They fell behind with the first swimmer even though she set a personal best and it compounded between the second and third swimmer with an additional half second/second. About three body lengths by the time it was Penny's turn to go - too much ground to make up.
  17. Right. The biggest dumbbells at my gym are 150lbs. If you were unfamiliar with what they're doing, you'd think they could shoulder press those for numerous reps no problem.
  18. So how much different is the overhead press in a clean jerk from a standard overhead press. Because those guys in Tokyo with literally half the size of Eddie Hall are pressing the same weight he can.
  19. The big one in the valley. That's who they're following and I guess their approach is to do effectively nothing because we're doing nothing in turn. Thousands of students, staff in close quarters, masks aren't mandatory, no vaccination requirements, unclear what the protocol is if someone in the department does get the corona. When the expression a "return to normal" is used, they literally mean it in this regard.
  20. University is bringing everyone back middle of August and then going to implement some hybrid model a month later and the logic is lost as to the reason for this. There is no real gain or loss productivity wise; everyone is stuffed into smaller spaces with variants running rampant, etc. It costs everyone more time and money doing this. The university is justifying it as "other schools are doing it so we're doing it too" and "the building costs a lot to maintain especially when nobody is here."
  21. He is one of many junior stars to come up well short at the NHL level
  22. And if they flopped or weren't as good as the local kid playing in our backyard, people would have ripped him another asshole for that one.
