Those firt two jabs are just the beginning of more jabs to come. The booster jabs are on their way. Yep. And I'm not a fan of letting scientists program my immune cells with their own chemistry. I prefer for my own body to do some homework. I'm pretty sure that my 25 yr old mattress has given me as much immunity as people get from wading in the Ganges. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristides Posted October 12, 2021 Report Share Posted October 12, 2021 The Peace River anti vax crowd must be really proud. They are now providing over a third of the BC's Covid ICU cases with just over 3% of the population Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aristides Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Northern Health with 5% of the population had 25% of the Covid deaths over the long weekend. The great majority from the eastern part of the region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C2015, you really ought to respond to the litany of leftist politician/media lies that I mentioned before you start calling ME a conspiracy theorist. You were guilty of believing all of those lies, and pontificating to the world, and now you want to question my integrity? Have some shame, dude. I'm not going to say that "Big Pharma put money into Justin Trudeau's pocket" because I have no direct proof of that. I do know for a fact that we've never seen a shred of evidence pointing to the need for vaccinating healthy 12-40 year-olds. 1) They don't die from covid, 2) they will still spread covid after they're vaxxed, 3) the vaccine is far more likely to harm them than it is to save their lives from covid. So you tell me: what's the most likely reason that Trudeau is helping one of NA's biggest lobbyists - big pharma - to target youths who don't need the vaccine? Is it just a coincidence that he wrote the DPA law and weaselled so hard for SNC Lavalin, another one of Canada's biggest lobbyists? He also solicited WE to host a charity event and then they got his mom to speak there, and in total they gave her almost half a million dollars in speaking fees and expenses: https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/trudeau-government-contributed-1-18-million-to-we-day-event-in-2017-during-which-pms-mother-was-likely-paid-to-speak https://spencerfernando.com/2020/07/28/we-paid-margaret-trudeau-167944-more-than-previously-revealed/ Why does Trudeau always seem to follow the money?

Peace River has the lowest vaccination rate in the country and it shows. 55 ICU patients have been airlifted to Fraser, Coastal and Island hospitals. 42 of them covid patients, 41 of them not vaccinated. BC currently has just over 150 Covid patients in ICU, more than a third of them from Northern which has 5% of the population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt ask about ICU's and etc. We were talking about 7 people in the province. These things happen in clusters you know, and seven is a very small number. But it sure is 25% of 28.

Zeitgeist Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 On the whole people still haven’t woken up to the fact that you’re living under fascist dictates that are a total violation of constitutional and basic human rights. The precedents are well established now. People who push back or question are mocked. We’ve essentially sacrificed freedom and democracy to please puritans. It’s sickening, but this is probably just the beginning. Imagine what you pay now for fuel and groceries doubling. Imagine years of restrictions after we reach 85 plus percent of eligible people fully vaccinated. You’ve been led down the garden path. The master stroke is watching people lead the charge of their own enslavement. I think vaccination is a good idea and I accepted the mandates, yet the asks and restrictions persist. What a sham. We’ve lost our freedom and living standards and can’t find a way back. The door is slammed shut. Who in Canada will fight back and win support? The Americans have lost too, with the exception of a few states that Biden is now beating into submission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you think it costs to send a specially equipped aircraft with a doctor and nurse from Vancouver to Peace River to pick up a patient on a ventilator to transport them to a hospital on Vancouver Island, then position that aircraft back to its base in Vancouver, just to try and save one unvaccinated fool’s life. Like any of you hypocrites care what anything costs. They’re just damn lucky the Island has a high vaccination and low hospitalization rate and the capacity to take them. This isn’t Norway sunshine but maybe you should think about living there and enjoying their taxes.

Infidel Dog Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 It's hard to argue with Aristides' point when you can't be sure exactly what that point is. Apparently something happened in or around Peace River which he believes proves something about the wide world of Covid but he doesn't want to give us a link to show us exactly what he's talking about. It sounds like something happened over a short period of time in some backwoods locale that Aristides believes proves some much larger point about the general pandemic (if a pandemic is what it is.) I don't know...there could have been a weekend outbreak on an unvaccinated reserve or at one of those weird back-to-the-land religious gatherings up there for all we know.

Infidel Dog Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) But if we're using small examples to make larger points I actually know somebody who just went into the hospital for covid and I doubt he'll be walking out. He may be unvaccinated. In fact, I think he most likely is. He's also obese and has about 5 comorbidities. He was on the speed train to a dirt nap in any case. It got me to thinking...I wonder how many of these unvaccinated with comorbidities have just given up long before covid and they're just waddling around waiting for God to come get them and take them off this earth. Are they selfish? Have they infected somebody before they got sent off to the ICU to shave a couple months off their final release. I don't know maybe. I can't hate them though. I can't wish ostracism on the entire class of the mandate resistant (many of whom have much better reasons for not complying) or pump myself up as a superior being and wish them more discomfort if I should think they're being selfish.

Not sure what the leaders have to gain personally, has Justin received any money from outside sources during his time as PM, nobody really knows, but i would not be surprised. -Some of the benefits would be. immediate reduction world wide of green house gasses. Massive drop in the use of fossil fuels. An opportunity for business of every type to take advantage of the situation and gouge consumers. and in doing so the government watch's and collects more taxes. Creates massive shortage of workers, which is an easy fix but the promote it as a major win for government. But at this moment mandatory injections is throwing away those gains by creating more jobless people. Gradual reduction of individuals freedoms and rights to the point it has become normal.

I see. So some patients in the north are being transferred to hospitals in the south - as has always been the case. I could tell you stories. And it looks like what happened in Ontario and Alberta when the Delta variant first hit has been happening up there for now. The unvaccinated, for whatever reasons, are the most recorded. If the pattern of what's happened everywhere else remains true that ratio will start to even out, the cases will go down and the media will be less interested in telling you about it.

Because dumb asses won’t get vaccinated. Well over a million dollars has been spent sending a bunch of dumb asses south because another bunch of dumb asses have filled up their own regions hospitals.
