I see one group piling on top of another here, needlessly. I guess we will see, but the effects of what we have done to the economy will not present themselves immediatley. The USD is devalued too. Nope, never expected it to be a cake walk, but ignoring the damage caused by the implemented measures is foolish. Not really an issue. I'm an elementary school teacher, Im with them 6 hours a day, every day. They've adapted remarkably well. I see one very very very small group cutting themselves off, needlessly, from the rest of us and making life difficult for everyone. Ask health care workers what they think of that group. The economic impact is worodwide. Again, did you think the pandemic was a ride at Disneyland? Of course there's going to be a huge impact felt across the whole planet.......the virus is to blame, not public health measures. Who's ignoring anything? The vast majority of us are working together to get through this as quickly and painlessly as possible. I have no empathy for the rest who drill holes in the boat while the rest of us are bailing. They can f*** off for all I care. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Instead of replying directly to certain users, I'll just address a couple of things that seem to crop up on a regular basis: Firstly, "Indefinite" means exactly that. We don't know how long mandates will be required. Could be a month, could be 6 months, could be a year. However, it does not mean "forever", as some of the anti-mandate folks seem to believe.... Secondly, pointing at current numbers and using them to claim that that vaccine has been "ineffective", is inaccurate. The vaccines have been very effective against the dominant prior to Omicron. The problem is, low vaccination rates in certain areas of the world provided earlier strains the hosts they needed in order to mutate, which is how Omicron came one the scene. Vaccines designed for earlier strains are less effective at preventing Omicron infection, (although they still provide some protection) which is why we see fully vaccinated people hospitalized. That being said, as many have already pointed out, taking vaccination rates into account belies the claims that the number of vaccinated people in hospital shows there is zero efficacy with the current vaccines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedestroyerofworlds Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Not only that @RUPERTKBD every vaccine ever used by humanity has less than 100% efficacy. That means there is going to be a percentage of people who get vaccinated, that the vaccine doesn't work. Science 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dehumanizing these people is a seriously problematic/brutal way to think. Democracy is supposed to enable the free exchange of ideas/viewpoints, not the suppression of them. Please, show some empathy and try to have an open mind. Yiu know what's dehumanizing? The anti vax father standing our school parking lot screaming at staff and kids on our first day back after winter break. You know what else is? The 8 year old girl who passed the virus on to her anti vax dad who was then dead in less than a month and now she has to live with that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the fact punching him in the face first would get an assault charge, there's no way in a million years an adult should be yelling at kids like that. He's acting like they threw rocks at his car, no they are wearing masks so he needs to keep his pissy rants to himself or go take it up with his mayor or MLA (whatever they are called down there).

I'm not going to call them dumb, because they are not. They are defending your rights and freedoms. Saturday should be interesting. Continue on with your hate for Canadians. @Cerridwen, you have such deep hate. Why? Speak. These Canadians are patriotic and are helping each other for good reason. My reaction to your posts speaks most eloquently to their content. And please don't be putting words in my mouth....or making assumptions of my feelings regarding this matter. Perhaps you should be investigating the agenda of all the big money donors contributing to this "Freedom Convoy"....it's not about vaccine mandates...but you do you, giz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
