    Excuse me but panic porn...child abuse?

    You sure have an odd way way of determining what passes for emotion and feelings in others compared to your own.

    In the meantime McGill's article from the Office for Science and Society for the purpose of separating sense from nonsense was clearly written for people exactly like you. 

     

    It’s an opinion piece without any actual science.  For instance, it mentions the risk of myocarditis is extremely low, but fails to mention that the risk from covid is even lower.  Why is that?  It says most children experience no to mild systems from covid but also says many have been worse.  What’s many?  Is there a number or percentage?  And how many of those children had underlying health problems?  Because in those cases, must advocate for vaccination.  Why don’t they acknowledge that the flu has a higher mortality rate for children that covid does?  Because it’s a propaganda piece, in an effort to push broad based vaccination, when it’s not necessary or logical.

    Some people cling to the idea that because they and their children are low risk, they can ride out the infection and don’t need to get vaccinated. They forget that even otherwise young healthy people have gotten severely sick and died. But they also forget that we get vaccinated not just to protect ourselves, but also to protect those around us and the people we love.

    https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19/why-its-important-vaccinate-children-against-covid

    The odds of a healthy child dying from covid is 0.001%, which is statistically zero.  Stop your panic porn.  Statistically the flu is more dangerous to children than covid is.  It’s child abuse to submit children to a vaccine that has a higher risk or severe consequences than the virus you’re trying to protect them from.  I noticed that your cut abs paste job included they and they’re children.  I’m not suggesting that adults not get vaccinated.  Your cut and paste job is based on emotion and feelings, and not logic and reason.

    Yes but they create consequences and responsibilities that still need to be addressed by society health authorities and officials with policies that in the case of COVID now call for vaccinating everyone they can including as many kids as possible - to protect the vulnerable which of course include the unvaccinated, health care workers and the health care system amongst other.  

    The vulnerable can protect themselves by getting vaccinated and boosted, wearing masks and avoiding crowds.  There’s no need to risk children.

    Again: to prevent them catching and transmitting the disease (delta and earlier variants ) to people for whom it was dangerous. 

    Giving children a vaccine, which is a greater risk for them than the virus they’re getting vaccinated from is tantamount to child abuse.  For those whom the virus is dangerous, they should be the ones getting vaccinated and boosted.  But logic and reason have no place with the religion that is covid.  Their sacrament is vaccination, they’re religious headdress is the mask, akin to the hijab.

    No it exists in my own family and several other families and people I know have to deal with this division too.  This tension between vaxed and anti-vaxxing people within families was around a long time before COVID arrived.

    So when you say a deliberate attempt of sowing discord who or what exactly do you mean? Is this happening in an organized systematic way involving teams of people managed by administrators?  Is this a government program, NGO's or some public/private partnership?      

    It’s media driven.

    The phenomenally low incidence of seasonal influenza and common colds around the word.

    Nothing is 100% so you do the best you can and glean a few percent here and there from masks, hand washing, distancing, vaccines etc and get as close to %100 as possible.  To reiterate, look at the effect this has had on the flu and common colds. Imagine how much worse COVID would have been without these measures and then add the flu and common colds to the misery of that.

    Imagine what we could do to heart disease which kills three times as many Canadians each year than covid does, if we implemented obesity passports etc, and put restrictions on food items certain people could purchase from grocery stores and restaurants.  Imagine if we mandates gyms and personal training!  We could almost eliminate obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and many other illnesses that go along with them!

    Really? Give us some evidence that any of that has worked this time.

    We had some unusual cold clean weather this year so I pulled my mask up over my nose and blew out my mouth.

    I saw steam. No aerosol protection. Case closed. Masks don't work. We don't even need to look at all the studies that say they don't work. Drug-store masks don't offer virus protection. It even says so on the box.

    I’m for them recommending anything they want.  I draw the line at forcing.  Regardless, what a lot of Branch Covidians don’t  understand is that most people have no issue with washing hands, distancing etc.  It’s the shutting down of businesses and schools for months at a time by edict.  With no voting on new legislation, no debate etc.  And anyone that defends this behaviour is defending lawlessness and authoritarianism.

    Why should they? 

    Isn't the Hallmark of Crypto that it's unregulated? This is why Elon Musk and pump and dump Cryptos at will. Even on Saturday Night Live. 

     

    I've talked to people who are into crypto that have multiple layers are IRL security to ensure their crypto can't be stolen. Like a code on paper that only the owner has access to. 

    Elon Musk doesn't pump and dump crypto at will.  You're talking like somebody that doesn't know anything about crypto at all.

    They're certainly not the only reason but most of the inequality is. I suspect you'll find even more outrageous income inequality in communist oligarchies.  Capitalism certainly doesn't require democracy to thrive. I think China may have shown capitalism does even better in the absence of fairness and accountability.   

    Even if CEO’s were paying 80% of their income in taxes, they’d still be wealthy.  Capitalism is just the voluntary exchange of goods and services based on an agreed upon price.  Only idiots oppose that philosophy.

    It takes a CEO just days to earn your annual wage

    But who cares about that when there's a rotten commie hiding under every bed?  

    Not every CEO earns that.  Usually one that manages a multi-billion dollar company.  Their compensation is approved by a board and paid for with private money.  Tax laws aren’t the reason they’re wealthy.

    How inspired by the devil does one have to be to misrepresent the words "“lament, repent and apologize for biases or racist ideologies held and actions committed”  as "apologize for being white"? That is directly equating having biased and racist ideologies as "being white". You're putting racist words in their mouths and spreading anti-white stereotypes. All to sow division between races in your community.

    You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Did you copy and past somebody else’s words?  Regardless, there’s nothing non Christian about donating to other Christian groups instead of one that calls you racist because of your skin colour.  I get a warm feeling watching their woke struggles now.  It serves them right.

    I had gotten permission from the author (who posted this in another forum) to copy paste his thought-provoking opinion regarding what he observes and how he feels about his homeland.  How many silent Americans feel this way, I wonder?

     

    I never dreamed that I would have to face the prospect of not living in the United States of America, at least not the one I have known all my life. I have never wished to live anywhere else. This is my home and I was privileged to be born here. But today I woke up and as I had my morning coffee, I realized that everything is about to change. No matter how I vote, no matter what.

    I say, something evil has invaded our nation, and our lives are never going to be the same. I have been confused by the hostility of family and friends. I look at people I have known all my life--so hate-filled that they agree with opinions they would never express as their own. I think that I may well have entered the Twilight Zone. We have become a nation that has lost its collective mind! You can't justify this insanity:

    • If a guy pretends to be a woman, you are required to pretend with him.
    • Somehow it’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
    • Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegals voting in our elections are good.
    • It was cool for Joe Biden to "blackmail" the President of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.
    • Twenty is too young to drink a beer, but eighteen is old enough to vote.
    • People who have never owned slaves should pay slavery reparations to people who have never been slaves.
    • People who have never been to college should pay the debts of college students who took out huge loans for their degrees.
    • Immigrants with tuberculosis and polio are welcome, but you’d better be able to prove your dog is vaccinated.
    • Irish doctors and German engineers who want to immigrate to the US must go through a rigorous vetting process, but any illiterate gang-bangers who jump the southern fence are welcome.
    • $5 billion for border security is too expensive, but $1.5 trillion for “free” health care is not.
    • If you cheat to get into college you go to prison, but if you cheat to get into the country you go to college for free.
    • People who say there is no such thing as gender are demanding a female President.
    • We see other countries going Socialist and collapsing, but it seems like a great plan to us.
    • Some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, and other people are not held responsible for what they are doing right now.
    • Criminals are caught-and-released to hurt more people, but stopping them is bad because it's a violation of THEIR rights.
    • And pointing out all this hypocrisy somehow makes us "racists"?!

    Nothing makes sense anymore - no values, no morals, and no civility. People are dying of a Chinese virus, but it's racist to refer to it as Chinese even though it began in China. We are clearly living in an upside down world where right is wrong and wrong is right, where moral is immoral and immoral is moral, where good is evil and evil is good, where killing murderers is wrong but killing unborn babies is AOK!

    Wake up America, the great unsinkable ship Titanic America has hit an iceberg, is taking on water, and is sinking fast. Speak up!

    This is so true.  Progressives are ruining society.  A great example is the  defund the police movement.  Cities all across the unites states are seeing huge crime waves.  Progressivism is not compatible with a civil society.

  13. So far South Africa’s hospitalizations are significantly down compared to the previous waves.  Experts there think the new variant has been around there since September but was mistakenly thought to be the flu because it was mild and nobody that had it got tested for covid.

    That doesn’t stop the media from turning out ridiculous amounts of panic though.
