Coronavirus outbreak

I imagine that Health Canada will follow shortly.

CDC advisers vote to recommend Covid-19 vaccines for children as young as 6 months

also, Darth Santis reversed course, probably due to the amount public pressure of how stupid he was not to order shots (the only state BTW).

DeSantis allows Florida doctors, hospitals to order COVID-19 vaccines for kids under 5: reports

Today, I realized my patience for stupidity is at an all time low.

I had some moron try to tell me that it was "A good thing the Protest forced the government to change it's vaccine rules"

 

" You think a bunch of wing nut protesters convinced a government to change policy, and that medical science had nothing to do with it?

Sorry, I disagree".

Then I got away from him, as he was likely still unvaxxed, at all.

 

At that point I realized I was perfectly fine with the idea of putting all  these losers on D'Arcy Island; and keeping them there.

Ship all these antivaxxer Freedumb fighters to the new country of Texas.  We don't want them here.

Yah, The dude is a landscaper/gardener, a fine line of work; however not much medical knowledge needed for that.

Quite likely he could tell me which flowers and plants to grow, in which area of the yard. Lighting, soil conditions and watering schedules would be in his area of expertise.

 I would definitely listen to him talking about plants and such; however I take my medical info from people with a plethora of initials behind their name, and multiple years of medical training.

 

I admit to getting older, and that may be making me cranky

I admit the last 2 years of seclusion, and semi seclusion has been tough, and maybe making me cranky

I admit the pain in my shoulder was nagging me, and was making me cranky

 

But I'm tired of the stupidity, not just anti- vaxxers, But also

far right wingers

far left wingers

most politicians

some car and truck drivers-including the driver that drove into the old lady at the 4 way stop a couple blocks from my place

all the eligible that don't vote

 

I really, really think it is time the silent majority started speaking up and pointing out to fringers, just how stupid their ideas seem to the vast majority of us.

Also the majority of us have to stop being distracted by the idiots( unintentional irony noted here ) and get on with the rest of the actual important things.

 

Rant over.

Moderna says bivalent vaccine appears to work against omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5

Still, the new version of the vaccine did not generate as many antibodies as it did against the original omicron variant, according to a press release.

I've been double vaxx for a long time now, But never bothered going for the booster. My household is all double WITH booster. They have all caught covid multiple times, I have yet to ever catch it. 

 

For research purposes I may continue to avoid the boosters lol

Did your family get mild symptoms or did they end up hospitalized?  If it's the former, the booster did its job.

Makes no sense to avoid the boosters excepting a medical reason.  Kind of selfish and childish behaviour actually.

mild, I'd be hanging around home with them those entire weeks and never positive test for me. Never lucky on the lottery tickets though

It was something i just thought of today when it came up in convo. One of those... " You know what, I actually haven't got that done yet " sort of things. Believe me though i have been an angel citizen over the pandemic. Never missed a day of work other than when i stay home due to household positive, And still never collected a cent from the gov

Hospitalizations continue to go down.  Nice drop in deaths.   Hopefully this continues.

Two of my brothers and my Dad got covid and it was like a mild cold they said. Happy they are safe now and well. <3

I wonder if there will be an uptick in cases after this Canada Day long weekend.  Will be interesting to see in the next week or so.

My unvaccinated dad just got over a 10 day bout with covid. Pretty rough for him. Today was the first day he felt fairly normal. He said he had much worse flus but this felt very strange and different. Glad he is on the mend. He is in a very social job so it was surprising he lasted this long without getting it (unless he was asymptomatic previously).

Tell your dad he’s being both foolish and selfish (unless he has a medical excuse, of course) for being unvaccinated.

"In a very social job".  I'd be just as concerned if person didn't infect anybody (hopefully person wore a facemask or faceshield at that social job since they weren't vac'd).
