CITIZEN_2015 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Canadians are fed up and frustrated with the pandemic and refusal of a small minority to vaccinate themselves and latest updates indicates a majority of ICU beds are taken by the small minority unvaccinated people who choose not to vaccinate. Therefore the governments responded by making life harder for unvaccinated people. However, with the advent of highly transmissible Omicron that strategy may not be enough as hospitals are overwhelmed and heart and cancer surgeries are being cancelled and the nation realizes that the lives of their fellow citizens are being put in grave risk for no fault or choice of their own, the Federal government is now indicating the provinces may mandate vaccination. Great. Better late than never. Edited January 8, 2022 by CITIZEN_2015

myata Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 There is no objective grounds for it so this is driven by well known and tried over decades and centuries explosive mix of fear, desire for panacea and a scapegoat. Somebody close to the wheels and knobs of the society always smells this sweet smoke and has skills to make the most of it. How original. And when it happens (no if, any longer) in this country there's simply no working or even theoretical mechanisms to maintain sanity. Nobody just thought that they could be needed. If it worked two hundred years back copied from colonial blueprint, why bother. If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

Being unvaccinated is a CHOICE. Being a Jew was not a choice. Nobody even remotely suggesting unvaccinated should be treated badly remotely close to how Jews were treated, however they must not be allowed to leave home and walk among innocent people including the elderly and children.

myata Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) What amazing times we're living! Never in my mind three, four years back could I have imagined saying these words: thank you, Mr. Trump ... for appointing conservative judges to US Supreme Court. Appeals of Biden's vaccine mandates are now before the SCOTUS and at least they will have a more objective consideration of the rationale and factors than simply marching to the tune "for your own good" of the day. Conservatism isn't really my thing but with a certain combination of factors liberal left can be scary, risky and dangerous in its enthusiasm to spread dogmas without factual and critical analysis and questioning. "Let's just march and see what happens, all together now!" Yep, once seen with own eyes, no denying that. Edited January 8, 2022 by myata If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant
myata Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 There's also a very practical point: I'm nowhere near the level of confidence to let "travel from Wuhan" exsperts shoot into me whatever and whenever they feel like just because. Over this time everybody had a chance to observe the level of competence and responsibility and the answer, to me at least, is quite clear. If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

Wait, so let me get this right, your saying if a Jew had a choice to change their ethnicity, back 1940s in Germany, then they would have deserved all their rights removed, because it was a "choice" just like the unvaccinated? Yikes.
myata Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Parallels with that period are entirely valid if not for the justifications and extent of persecution, then for an illustration of how far a previously and presumably civilized society could go in the right circumstances, like prolonged fear and anxiety, instability desire of quick panacea solutions for complex problems and need for a scapegoat as a rationalization of why quick solutions would not work. It could be a warning, but only for those who can remember and think independently. If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant

Yikes. Race and ethnicity is not a choice, you are born with it and it can't be changed. Vaccination is. That said, I doubt mandatory vaccination is constitutional but governments and business can make life difficult for the unvaccinated. 1

Zeitgeist Posted January 8, 2022 Report Posted January 8, 2022 Okay I’m calling it out: Duclos is an idiot. A one hundred percent vaccinated population doesn’t eliminate or slow the spread of Omicron. Vaccination provides some resistance and most people are fully-vaccinated and getting boosts. So what? Some unvaccinated and fully-vaccinated people will end up in the ICU. More rarely some will die. Anti-viral treatments are awaiting approval. Stop trying to coerce people into health choices. Are you still so confident in the endless boosting and vaccine passport program? It’s f@cking sick. Covid has become another one of life’s risks. End the restrictions and let people live normal lives. Stop destroying businesses and mental health. Stop totalitarianism in Canada.

So are you going to take antiviral treatments that have had even less testing than the vaccines which keep most people out of hospitals in the first place. Those treatments need to be taken early during infection which means you will have to get tested for every sniffle to find out if you actually have covid or it might be too late for them to keep you out of a hospital.
