Not because a bunch of entitled morons honk their horns and have a temper tantrum. Science backs this up. Jurisdictions that relax their restrictions too early see increased mortality. True in the Spanish flu pandemic. True this time around. And yea, I've posted links to scientific articles and statements made by Kenney to back up everything in this post previously. The honking truckers aren't going to make the issue go away for us, imho. Science backs up ending restrictions, actually. It's because the science of omicron has changed. We're all getting it, and there's nothing we can do about the at-risk than boost and hope for the best. So this is why governments are relaxing restrictions. Science.

And according to some some studies I have accessed trust in science / scientists has increased during the pandemic. However figures are still in the 70- 90 percent range. Most societies,THAT HAVE ACCESS TO THE VACCINE - that is a real point of contention for me, the rich countries like ours distributing 3 Rd doses, while over 3 billion world wide have yet to receive one dose of the vaccine. This is according to a letter written to Boris Johnson just over a week ago by a group of British health professionals - have achieved those rates of vaccination. Check out the NY Times world wide Covid tracker dated today for the figures and map of Covid vaccinations. We need to convince that small percent to trust the science. I can gaurantee you that calling them stupid and abusing them in the way I see on a daily basis in this thread will not change their minds. Just to be clear I have had my 3rd dose however it really upsets me to know that while I am triple vaccinated, billions have not even received their first vaccination. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in holy hell does giving them privileges they don't deserve make Canada a better place? Like or not, the pandemic will end. So at that point, what are we going to do about those who remained unvaxxinated? Shun them for life, when there's no reasonable basis to do so? The point was really lost when we all started getting omicron regardless. There's not many people that I know of personally who hasn't gotten it, regardless of vaccination status. Sure they can get vaccinated anyway to maybe avoid the hospital. But that's it. That's all we can possibly be concerned with for that matter if we're just as likely to inherit omicron from the vaccinated. We're eventually going to have to call this, right? How can we not? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we can most nearly conclude is Covid will be endemic. We will likely need yearly boosters, like in addition to the influenza shots. Maybe we wear masks in certain settings too, like in care homes. But to suggest others “don’t want this pandemic to end” is off base. Don’t be a bustaroo bonsai.

Fine, as long as refusing the vax also means completely opting out of all covid related medical treatment. Otherwise, allowing these parasites to enjoy the same privileges as the vast majority of Canadians with IQ's higher than single digits simply does not make the country a better place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4petesake Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 This video of a couple of anti-vaxxers heading into the rally in Vancouver and getting blocked by counter protesters is quite frankly hilarious. Seems like they think blocking a public road is against the law. The comments are the best, “get outa the way Hitler!” or “stop it, they’re f’ing recording…!” NSFW for language.

While I know many people who have had Covid, some of whom were already vaccinated, they are still definitely in the minority. If what you say is true, I can only assume that you and your friends are anti-vaxers. Because most of my friends have been vaxed, and those who have (knowingly) had Covid are distinctly in the minority (at least so far). Is it your belief that the majority of the 38 million Canadians have had Covid? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
