It's not that vaccines are bad. Vaccines can be good and are helpful in many cases, for example, for elderly and other vulnerable population. The problem arises when they are used in a chainsaw mode. Without any explanation or rationale just so (just like in the scary movie). Then, it can be a problem. In the hands of an idiot, even a teaspoon can be dangerous.

Correct, because the conservative right wings of religions and governments are basically the same fascist people who foolishly believe in a real supernatural realm and God. Hating the dreaded, --- other gods---, is what makes all the various denominations in the Abrahamic cults, Christians, Muslim and Jewish, etc., all want to use inquisitions and jihads on each other. If it was not for the left wings of politics and religions, along with the gains of secularism and modernization, the right wings would have us all at at war. The liberal West had to bring Christianity to heel, and we and the rest of the world seem to be bringing it's evil twin, Islam, to heel as well. We should still fight against our vile mainstream religious and political right wings, --- who do not believe in equality, --- even as we thank the left wings for dragging us all morally forwards, where gays and women, and their souls, are not valued less than a man's.

Soon it will also say “including any and all booster shots as approved by the regional health authority.”

Or to return to my OP: Maybe. Or Toronto could become Detroit (when Ontario becomes Michigan, simply another American state).

So, at best, all that you managed to do was show that covid can be as bad as the vaccine. Do you think that somehow supports a claim that vaccines should be mandated on everyone? FYI, evidence that the vaccines can reasonably be mandated for everyone looks like this: 1) "The vaccines are known to be 100% safe and offer a large benefit to society" would be a stand-alone reason which could unilaterally make the mandate legitimate, but the possibility of death or serious long-term injury from the vax absolutely rules this out. 2) "The fatalities and long-term harm that will certainly be caused to a very small number of individuals is vastly outweighed by the benefits of the vaccine to the general population" is a tough pill to swallow for the unlucky ones who die (as is the case with the vaccines that we still consider highly successful today.), but the vaccines DO NOT STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID and they don't provide full protection to anyone, so that is not the case at all either. The vax mandate effectively says this: "Everyone MUST take the vaccine, even when it confers no benefit on them personally & can potentially kill them or cause them great harm, because in theory the vaccine slightly reduces the spread of the disease." Honestly, I'd love to see you explain how what I wrote is inaccurate. Covid hasn't slowed down. Just remember - we're already over 80% vaxxed, that's more than "The Science Told Us" we theoretically needed in order to achieve herd immunity. It's not working at all. Vaxxed people still die and spread covid, "The Science" never told us that would be the case, and although Big Pharma quietly acknowledges it now, vaxx-Nazis ignore that when they try to inflict the mandate on others. A fellow "vax-hesitant terrorist" pointed out something to me yesterday that I hadn't thought of, if you can believe it.
