For all we know there were more deaths as well.

Don't give me that vaccine that has been taken by hundreds of millions over the past year, give me that drug which has just been approved and has many interactions and side effects. It has to be safer.?

Probably because they haven't been able to evaluate all medications and the ones listed have certain things in common with those that have known risks. That's why this will remain a prescription drug for the foreseeable future. They aren't going to turn it loose in the public with out oversight from doctors and pharmacists until it has a much longer track record, if at all. As with any medication, doctors have to balance the risk from side effects against the risk of not prescribing it.

A: 31530 is more than 0.2% of 2,366,673 As all good Covid deniers know, there is nothing between the flu and death. It is one or the other.

No one here have a credit card? How often do you use cash? How do you pay your utility and other bills? Do you keep your savings under your mattress? We use banks every day and don't even think about it. Owned Royal Bank shares for years. Up over 1200% plus a nice dividend every year.

A list of drug and other interaction as long as your arm and lots of possible side effects, this will always be a prescription drug. But anything is better than a vaccine, right.

Yes but his intent will be different from someone with an agenda or trying to win an argument on an internet forum.

A doctor using a search engine for medical information, how bizarre. Unlike us he knows what he is looking for and the source, as well as understand what he is finding.

That's the thing, it isn't specific. The internet is full of misinterpretation of studies, either through ignorance or intentional. This BS often has longer legs than the study itself. Once it gets loose it has a life of its own because if it fits a narrative, people won't fact check it.

Now that's truly naive. Never heard of the internet?

See Godwin's Law. Equating todays restrictions with some of the world's greatest mass murders and antivaxxers with their victims is about as ignorant as you can get. Their victims didn't die because of their own choices.

I disagree. Like it or not, the Chinese government is acting according to what it sees as its vision for China. Basically what every government does. The intent is the same, the method is not something we would accept.

Which hospital? The hospital isn't overwhelmed but staffing is a problem. Which is it?

When you have thousands of workers off because of Omricon, stuff gets cancelled.

Facebook, YouTube, Twitter. LOL Those numbers come from provincial health authorities, not the CBC. The CBC just reports them and they are not the only ones.

SC Judges are a lifetime appointment. He will have to wait for them to die before he can stack anything.

Inside trading is buying and selling stocks using information that isn't available to the public. If you aren't willing to prove someone is guilty the only way around it is banning members of government and their families from owning any stocks. That would probably disqualify every member Congress, the Senate, President, VP and probably Supreme Court justice. If they owned a particular stock, every member would profit or lose equally whether they voted for or against a particular legislation. I wonder how many people would be wiling to run under those conditions.

During the fifties and sixties every kid was vaccinated for smallpox in elementary school. Some places required vaccination before they could attend school. Back then, smallpox was still killing people.

Bullshit, your link was a direct attack on Pelozi. Are you paid? Are you real?

He was prime minister in the 40's but the coup that made him president in 1952 was American backed. He also established a secret police, the Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities to carry out wide-scale violence, torture and public executions.

It was a popular revolution. At the last battle of the revolution (Battle of Santa Clara) government forces outnumbered the rebels 10 to 1, (3900 to 340) had 10 tanks an armoured train and several bombers. The government forces just walked away, they wouldn't fight for Batista. That's when he fled to the Dominican republic and met up with his stollen millions. So what was the point of the US sanctions and threats if it wasn't to cripple Cuba's economy? Enlighten us.

Bullshit, that's why they threw Batista out. He took his billions and went to live with other dictators like Trujillo and Salazar. What the hell do you think their life would be like with the US threatening every country and business who wanted to deal with them. If Cubans are poor, the US is probably the single biggest reason why.

Maybe Cubans should decide that. America efforts at regime change have a pretty poor track record, particularly for the poor schmucks who live there. Who knows where Cubans and their economy would be if the US had just left them alone.

Cuba has had the same government for 65 years. The Americans have never forgiven them for throwing out Batista who was put in power by an American backed coup and basically let the Mafia run the country. After 65 years of sanctions and intimidation the US still hasn't been able to get rid of them. Maybe it's time Americans recognized that Cubans don't want Americans dictating their affairs or deciding their leaders. The American hawks said the Castro govt would be toast after they lost Soviet Union backing in 1989. Guess what, 33 years later they are still there.
