Not an anti-vaxxer but does give some insight to why some people fear vaccines. 

 

Don't give me that crap you're protecting other people because look at this poor chaps life he died apparently doing the right thing and no justice for him.

The anti-vaxxer is afraid of a fire ant nest next to them while a volcano also next to where they are is erupting and about to devastate the area they are in.  One death vs over 8600 deaths in Ontario and counting (7 day average of 22ish right now).

Manitoba to begin second dose bookings.  First shot on or before March 29th, can book second dose.  I guess BC's version will be starting very soon too.

So that makes it 1 death for AstraZeneca and 25,390 for Covid -19, in Canada.

I looked for an updated total on how many AstraZeneca vaccine have been administered, to compare the mortality rate of it, versus covid mortality, but can't find the amount  of jabs.

BC Restart Plan

 

 

Bonnie just confirmed we have already hit our June 15th immunization target.  65.8% of 18+.  Those 70% goals should be hit by Monday.

I'm surprised at how many 12 year olds are getting their shots.  Over half my class of eligible age have already got their first jab

I've heard in some areas more 12-17 year olds have got the vaccine, than the 18-25 age group.  Because they can go in with their parents during their appointments.  Whereas the 18-25 had to book and those bookings are just coming up now.

[Jaimito]

Second dose 8 wks now.  Keep going guys. Hit that 75%. I want to go see a playoff game

Yes. Daily rates can flux a bit. The 7 day ave is trending in the right direction though. Don't go visit AB or MB please.

Its best to compare each day of the week with the same day from the last week, as there is a lot of variation in the number of tests being done on different days of the week.

Then the long weekend messes that up even more.  Last week we had 521 cases Wednesday and 357 Thursday.  This week 250 on Wednesday and 378 on Thursday, the holiday Monday shifted some cases ahead.

Biden calls for U.S. intelligence agencies to ‘redouble’ investigative efforts into the origins of the virus.

 

President Biden on Wednesday asked U.S. intelligence agencies to “redouble their efforts” to determine the origins of the coronavirus, saying in a statement that he was calling for a broad government report that incorporated findings from American labs and other federal agencies on whether the virus was accidentally leaked from a lab or transmitted by an animal to humans.

He asked intelligence officials to report back to him in 90 days on the results of their work and to keep Congress “fully apprised.”

 

Mr. Biden’s statement came as top health officials renewed their appeals this week for a more rigorous investigation into the origins of the virus, as the World Health Organization faced mounting criticism for an earlier report dismissing the possibility that it had accidentally escaped from a Chinese laboratory.

Funny how even a couple of months ago, the idea of this virus leaking from the Wuhan Institute of Virology was met with derision and mockery from so many "informed" folks. Many passing it off as a conspiracy theory.

 

Yet, now it's being considered and the majority of people who mocked and derided are as quiet as field mice. What a shock that the Chinese Communist Party isn't willing to work with the international community one bit. The CCP has proven over and over again how irresponsible they are when it comes to communication with other countries. They can't and shouldn't be trusted. Nor should the WHO.

I always thought it was a possibility. I've heard about the CCP doing all sorts of offside lab stuff and even offshore in NK for the really dicey stuff ( human cloning for organs etc) of course I take it with a big grain of salt. 

 

If  covid was a leak/accident then the criticism should be why they waited so long after seeing the Drs falling ill. If it is some how found out that it was intentional, then that should be the beginning of ...

 

The John Cena thingy shows me that the dislike/trust of the CCP has spread across the political spectrum. Everyone on all sides seem to be PO'd at him.

 

It's long over due that we stop buying Chinese goods. We the people could impact them and if there was pressure on our no backbone gov's in the West, we could see change. 

 

Gotta try to bridge the left/ right divide and see the real evil is the giant corps and top money earners that can influence the politicians.

Highly doubt it would have been intentional, but wouldn't be surprised with how sociopathic the CCP is towards the safety of their own people. There were three lab workers in the WIV that fell ill in November 2019 with what was thought to have been pneumonia, with two of the people needing hospitalization.

People like Cena will ally themselves with who makes them the most money. Same with Lebron James and half of the NBA.

I agree. Putting it into practice is a lot harder seeing as how much of what is manufactured globally comes from China. Can only imagine the deplorable pay and conditions the average manufacturing worker deals with. It's up to the people to make the moves to get rid of governments that don't work for them. Hopefully that happens.

That's easy enough. All one has to do is think for themselves and be willing to have a discussion where they actually listen to the other person's viewpoints without ego or the need to be right. Sadly, there are too many drones in society who are all too happy to follow orders and obey.
