  1. Tucker Carlson is a serious nut case and a public health hazard.
  2. Ever tried to put weight on a severely sprained ankle, particularly if you think it might be broken?
  3. Diseases impose rules, they always have. Modern medicine and hygiene has just made humans complacent. Because we haven't seen anything like this people don't believe it can happen. 300 years ago pandemics were a fact of life.
  4. So you would like vaccines to fail and millions more die. Does that say a lot about you or anti vaxxers in general?
  5. Good grief, new cases and hospitalizations have fallen off a cliff in countries with high vaccination rates. The UK has a quarter of our new cases and fewer deaths than us with 25 million more people. Before they started vaccinating they had the highest number of new cases and deaths in Europe. Don't take it if you want but the ship has sailed on whether they work or not.
  6. Why should the community care about you? I care about the people who want to but haven't been able to get vaccinated, not the ones who refuse or can't be bothered.
  7. How has India screwed itself, by doing the same as you and refusing vaccines? Canada has been doing pretty well. 3rd in the G20 for doses per 100 population although there are a slew of European countries right behind. So you are depending on others to keep you healthy. Good luck with that.
  8. You should keep up or use more credible sources than your own backside. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/coronavirus-india-drug-shortage-medicine-europe-imports-outbreak-a9374861.html https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/india-suspends-vaccine-exports-as-cases-skyrocket-stalling-canadian-deliveries Already vaccinated by the way as has all my adult family plus most friends with a mixture of Pfizer, Moderna and AZ. Amazingly all are still alive and well.
  9. Ya, I think I’ll believe multiple media sources from different sides of the political spectrum, NGO’s, on sight observers and governments, many of which are shipping O2 concentrators, ventilators and other materials and equipment to India over what you choose to believe.
  10. Seems to be quite bit of skepticism and misinformation in first world countries. Right here in fact. What's happening in India is subjective only to those who will deny the reality of their situation at any cost.
  11. This is normal? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-56881083 https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/india-covid19-patients-creamatorium-1.6001536
  12. You can try and make the means difficult but I don't think they can be barred from departing.
  13. Citizens cannot be denied entry to their own country. That said, enforcement of quarantines has been anemic. Because they have access to the US, it wouldn't surprise me if most truck drivers have been vaccinated by now.
  14. I don't see reports of funeral pyres, I do see reports of people suffocating because oxygen supplies are running out. Not so long ago Los Angeles county was having to ration O2 because they were having shortages.
  15. Sounds good to me. Smaller crowds when I’m travelling.
  16. Smallpox was a virus, not a bacteria. Polio is a virus. There are several viral diseases controlled by vaccines that do not require repeat vaccination.
  17. That’s possible, particularly if large parts of the population remain unvaccinated allowing the virus to constantly mutate.
  18. You are afraid of vaccines that have been shown to be very safe and you call others chicken. Too funny. Herd immunity without vaccines has never worked. All the diseases we now control with vaccines were around for millennia until we had those vaccines.
  19. If you are taking an international flight, they want to see your passport when you check in. If you don't have a valid passport, you don't get on. Countries hold the airlines responsible when their passengers don't turn up with the right documents.
  20. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/? What personal proof do you have of the stuff you spout?
  21. No one is forcing you to take anything but understand that you will need proof of vaccination to do some things. That will just be a reality. Airlines will not let you on an international flight if they know a country is just going to put you on the first flight back at their expense.
  22. Gradually and wisely, LOL. They are still forecasting a 31 billion deficit five years from now. This government will never live within its means.
  23. Anti vaxxers want to turn the clock back to when just about anything could kill you. The pathetic part is most of them were spared all the childhood diseases and never had to worry about things like smallpox and polio because their parents were smart enough to have them vaccinated. Protection they are quite willing to deny their own children.
