anti-vax has gone from skepticism to doctrine.

 

There's no point in trying to reason with them, just do what we can to keep them away from others. 

Exactly. I give up with these people. There is absolutely no point. I'm usually one known to buck the trends and do things my own way but I'm not going to out and pretend I know more about this situation then the people that have dedicated their entire lives to it. But yet here we are with average everyday people thinking their smarter and have more medical knowledge than the Canadian Minister of Health. It really is mind boggling that people are this deluded.

thats it, really. Thats why I say its become doctrine, its like trying to convince someone not to be a particular religious choice, its not going to happen because logic has nothing to do with it.

 

If you can be swayed not to listen to our very well trained experts by a single link some dude on a chat board posts, you're in some pretty susceptible territory to being influenced. 

 

Of course science and medicine are not perfect and are constantly evolving. They try to use that as a reason not to follow it. All thats left then is a belief system pulled out of thin air.

Hey so in the States you get to skip Covid tests for 90 days after you have a positive test and recover.  I haven't been able to find out if this is true in the NHL as well.  I'm almost certain that it's true for the other North American leagues.

Actually found an article...  looks like NHL is keeping the most strict testing requirements from the three leagues.  An interesting excerpt, and a positive silver lining for teams that have had a lot of players test positive recently.

"All members of a team’s traveling party will be tested daily instead of every third day, though they are not subject to testing on their days off or for 90 days after a positive test."

"OMG, more people that have been vaccinated got covid than those that aren't vaxxed.  "

 

Finally.

The 88 % of us vaxxed people have been waiting for the day we out numbered the non vaxxers in covid cases and hospitalizations. So to us this is great news.

The sad part is this "balance" should have happened months ago; all that had to happen was more people getting vaxxed.

 

Oh well, maybe next pandemic?

 

 


I often wonder what would happen if we suddenly lived in a zombie apocalypse, but the government was offering a cure vaccine to both turn you human again (preventing sickness) and stop you turning into one (preventing death). Would those who are unvaxxed still refuse?

So basically we will for sure have Myers, Schenn, Lammikko, Poolman, and Motte for the next 3 months barring injuries.

 

I feel a little better about at least having 3 guys that can play top 4 for the foreseeable future. That was getting pretty scary looking at our D before the break.

"apple flavour" :lol: I wonder how many anti-vaxxers said "hey that wasn't so bad, it really does taste like apples"

 

My last guy (horse) would only accept this exact paste.  He had to have apple flavour.  I tasted it to see if it actually was apple. 

Dewormer is actually hard on the system.  These idiot antivaxxers injesting this stuff are complete morons.  Unless they have worms, of course.

Get your booster so we can credit the shot for your mild omicron disease.  Over the last month worldwide, only a handful of people have passed from the omicron who were unvaccinated and  vaccinated.

 

Omicron is mild.  Yet most of you think closing the vaxxed pass gyms will have any positive impact. At least our health authority has determined omicron is a mild cold/flu otherwise they would have shut casinos and movie theatres.

 

All you have to do is look at the omicron data worldwide to determine its very mild.  Sad a mass pyschosis of fear has been the flavour of the last year.

Did you not read the part where it said "with no symptoms"?  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you not read the part where it said the people with no symptoms were "clogging up the ER"?
