I think maybe even contracting the disease and getting intubated themselves won't necessarily change their stupidity. In all seriousness, if we want this pandemic and all these restrictions to go away, the best way and the most effective way is to drive global herd immunity/mass vaccination. The ivermectin guys and pandemic deniers are just localized noise; until the global aspect of the pandemic is knocked out, dealing with the noise is more like treating the symptom and not the cause. Pretty ineffective and a waste of resources and effort. We're getting there. It was only last year that Phase 3 trials were under way. To go from zero approved vaccines to over 5 billion doses administered is amazing. Could we do better? Yes. But we shouldn't discredit the progress that has been made. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1194934/number-of-covid-vaccine-doses-administered-by-county-worldwide/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had guests like Survivorman Les Stroud, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Bernie Sanders, Chris Hadfield, and Elon Musk smoking a J. That's why.

Popular Post Gurn Posted September 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 3, 2021 1 hour ago, sassbs said: Do you guys agree with being forced to take the shot? In Ontario, more specifically Toronto area, if you are not double vaccinated, you will not be able to go to gyms, restaurants, movie theatres, schools. Minus elementary kids. Who is being forced? I've seen no footage of people being held while someone injects them. Simple: If you choose not to get vaccinated there will be an increasing amount of, non essential, businesses and service you will not get to use. That is because the roughly 80% and growing number of people have decided they don't want to increase their risk of catching a virus. Society rules, made to protect the lives and interests of the majority of people. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you seriously find the smallest things to argue with people. You cannot go to movie theatres, you cannot go to restaurants, you cannot go to the gym, you cannot go to any large public event. Yes that is being forced. It’s a simple question. Some people need the gym, are you prepared never go out again? Or go to a restaurant with fam or friends ever again?? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I have had my 2 shots. I feel you guys are flaming me because I give off the perspective that I’m against vaccination. so, your kids cannot fo to school. Non essential. Got it. Thanks. Before you reply “but they have the option to go online”. It’s not the same. Kids need to be in a school environment, interacting… developing their social skills.

I'm in a minority when it comes to the online discourse. In real life it's probably closer to 30\70 I'd say when it comes to public opinion. Totally pulling these numbers out of my you-know-what though. Finally, someone who actually decided to discuss my question with some intellect. Thank you! All I was asking was people’s opinion. and yes forgot to mention, many workplaces are forcing their employees to get it as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me ask you a question. If every eligible adult was vaccinated would we need vaccine passports? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW the whole point of the vaccine is to prevent serious health effects, so focusing in on the number of potential cases makes it sound worst then it is. Covid is here to stay, we're not getting rid of it. The more that get the double jab takes the pressure off the ICU staff, and hospitals in general. The more cases, the more that are likely to be admitted to hospital, being vaccinated means less serious cases. If we were at 95%+ in Canada, life would be much easier, at least.

Alflives Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 CKNW had the head of doctors from VGH and NRGH on this morning. Both were livid at the antivaxxers who are filling up ICU and general hospital beds, and at the idiots protesting outside their hospitals. The doctor from Nanaimo said one of his nurses was physically assaulted while trying to get through these morons, who were blocking the entrance. He further added these fools were protesting loudly right outside of the palliative care unit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
