(USA). Proportionally to population, this amounts to approximately 6,5 thousand per year in Canada. Add overdose and it's close 15,000 even without most serious causes. And subtract those resulting from subpar, stressed and under resourced system. Retirement homes fiasco, after two decades of warnings. Numbers say clearly that sky is falling is a bogus. No, it does not explain or justify anything. Now use your totalitarian goggles to deflect and ignore, like you invented anything new here. Covid killed ten times more Americans in 2020 than in a bad flu year. Quote
Goddess Posted December 6, 2021 Report Posted December 6, 2021 I think the question he is referring to is this one: 1 hour ago, Accountability Now said: You think a 20 year old unvaxxed person is more vulnerable than a 70 year old double vaxxed? In other words: Do you believe everyone shares the same risk of dying from covid? I do know that you are not trying to be cruel. I am just trying to get help for my sister, who has now been suffering almost 6 months since the jabs, which she only got in order to travel and now cannot even do that. And there are many others, too - debilitating migraines, extreme fatigue, tics & twitches that don't allow them to work anymore, convulsions and seizures, deaths, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, heart attacks, strokes and heart weakening where previously there was no issues with these things until post-jab - hours, days or weeks after. I'm not sure why these ae being denied as happening, when they are the very adverse reactions to the jabs that are listed. There is no help or acknowledgement from the government and the victims are silenced by the media and Big Pharma of course had all governments sign off on any injuries or deaths, so we can't go after them, either. Putting your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes and screeching "Na Na Na Na, I can't hear you." isn't the way to go here. I'm truly thankful that not everyone experiences these adverse events. Glad you're one of the ones who are okay. Quote "There are two different types of people in the world - those who want to know and those who want to believe." ~~ Friedrich Nietzsche ~~
Faramir Posted December 6, 2021 Report Posted December 6, 2021 On 12/5/2021 at 9:09 AM, QuebecOverCanada said: Ban from getting groceries if you are not vaccinated in New Brunswick. Will the people disobey? -- Beginning Saturday, people in New Brunswick who do not show proof of full vaccination can be barred from entering grocery stores to buy food. The measure was announced as part of the province’s “winter action plan,” which allows any business, including grocery stores, the option of barring unvaccinated individuals. According to Health Minister Dorothy Shephard, it comes as the province sees a “very concerning” rise in COVID infections over the last two weeks, particularly among unvaccinated Canadians. The province reported 97 cases and 2 deaths since Thursday. Fascists without the jack boots. Canada is the little fascist country and China is the big one. Quote

So do you think a Jew might have got vaccinated if he knew it would keep him out of Auswitzch? You ain't no martyr bud, just someone making a bad choice. No you’re pushing your paranoid need for control on others unnecessarily. I’m fully vaxxed and I spend the day working in a mask. Do you? What you fail to understand is that, by assenting to making the fully vaccinated mask up even though we know that even a 100 percent vaccinated population won’t eliminate the virus, we are making restrictions permanent. Either we believe that vaccines work and that a population that is mostly vaccinated doesn’t need restrictions or we believe vaccines don’t work and masking is essential for all. You don’t get to support both contradictory positions. Put another way, requiring restrictions on vaccinated people proves the antivaxxer position. You don’t appreciate the impact of making people get vaccinated and obey restrictions with no clear end in sight. It’s extreme government overreach. Quote

None of them have given me any reason not to. They sometimes make mistakes but then so do all of us. You quoted the question when you first responded to me but don't worry, Goddess requoted it for you. The statistics clearly show that the people filling up the hospitals and dying are elderly and those with pre-existing conditions. But instead of targeting those people, the government felt it was easier to just have everyone get the vaccine and thus created the vaxxer versus antivaxxer dichotomy. If they truly wanted to make the proper dichotomy, they zone in on the elderly and pre-existing condition group and educated people with simple stats. Right now, you are trying to convince a bunch of young, healthy people to get it and they are giving you outright resistance because of it. Because of this, you now have unhealthy and elderly people (who SHOULD be getting the vax) refusing to take it because they too think they are healthy. I have had COVID, I am also under 60, slim and athletic and no prexisting conditions which statistically tells me I don't need the shot. With that said, I have been very vocal about telling those I know who are over 60, overweight or have any preexisting condition that they SHOULD get the shot. The government knows the stats but they choose to propagate their phony stance that EVERYONE should get this and are now moving on to 5 years olds. This thing could have been controlled a long time ago if they had the kahoonas to actually tell the people that need this shot what they need to hear. But instead, its easier to attack young, healthy individuals who know they are not at risk. Quote

Let's agree with that, so what is the magical number that would justify arbitrary authoritarian methods? Who determined it and how? Does it depend on how effective the system is or it shouldn't and doesn't matter? We derailed the train, but you pay. What if in one place the number is 10 (inefficient system, retirement homes fiasco) and in the other, well designed and run system, 1.5? Would it still justify authoritarian measures, that is, people paying for ineptitude and inefficiency of the system and the bureaucracy that runs it?

myata Posted December 6, 2021 Report Posted December 6, 2021 A curious report in the news today, one of Ontario's health units "strongly denying" the claim that a child has died following vaccination. Unfortunately for us, the report (or the unit?) has not clarified whether a) the child has not died, my favorite; b) the child did not have a recent vaccination or c) the unfortunate child did have vaccination but it was not the identified cause. And only if it turns out to be the last one, how do we know what the actual cause was and if and how it wasn't related to vaccination? That's just too bad but after ongoing statistics funnies, I couldn't trust health authorities with a $5 note, not to say, health and safety of my children.

myata Posted December 6, 2021 Report Posted December 6, 2021 No one has explained in all this time the reason, and cause for forced, coerced and/or mandatory vaccinations. It does not stop infection. It does not prevent transmission. There's any number of conditions that can be caused by individual choice. If it existed it could have been said and explained. There's only one conclusion, and it's pretty clear: there - is - none. Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

Aristides Posted December 6, 2021 Report Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) They aren't being punished, they are doing it to themselves. Why won't you take responsibility for your own choices? Quote Adrian Dix says the delta variant is disproportionately affecting those who haven't been vaccinated, including most of the more than 150 people who have been moved from the Northern Health authority to southern hospitals. He says the transfers are weighing down the health-care system because many of those people were in critical condition and require teams of health-care workers at every stage of their transport. Why should the 80+% of fully vaccinated British Columbians cater to people who behave so irresponsibly and put the system under this kind of stress. Edited December 6, 2021 by Aristides Quote
