How many people have to die for you to care? Ahhh yes. The ol whataboutism. It's not 5 or 10 percent though. It is 1.1%. While i don't have the numbers, I'd hazard to bet about 90-95 percent of those deaths were over the age of 70.

You could argue deaths are low due to restrictions yes. The mortality rate is different though. People still catch covid. And of those people only 1.1% mortality. Look at the US. I'd imagine most people here would agree they had much looser restrictions then we do and their mortality rate is only 1.2%. That's also with waaaay more Americans catching covid than here in Canada. So that argument doesn't hold much weight with me Edited February 16, 2022 by AfterMath35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedestroyerofworlds Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 One of the issues facing us in getting the developing world vaccinated is a lack of infrastructure. This may help with that. They also say that these units can also be used to manufacture other mRNA vaccines for other diseases in the future. https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/biontech-ship-mrna-vaccine-factory-kits-africa-2022-02-16/?utm_source=reddit.com BioNTech to ship mRNA vaccine factory kits to Africa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There needs to be a clear and concise plan layed out so peoples minds can be put to ease and this endless bickering can stop. There is no reason that by summer we can be past all restrictions including vax passport Edited February 16, 2022 by AfterMath35 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you are certainly entitled to your opinion, i can't take that away from you. But as other provinces and countries move away from the vax passports, which is starting to happen in many places already, the pressure to do the same will mount up here. Of course you will always be free to not partake but i think most people will be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
