Hospitalizations is not spread. You said vaccines reduce spread and now have flipped your story to hospitalizations. Your recent response shows that you are either completely ignorant to the differences or you are willfully lying which is a forum violation. Which is it? 4 Quote

Either democracy is renewed again and for another term, never forever and authoritarians disappointed. Or democracy withers and ceases in spirit if not formality of the stamp and chair.

Your recent response shows that you are either completely ignorant to the differences or you are willfully lying which is a forum violation. Which is it? What these guys do. It's also debatable if they actually prevent hospitalizations as hospitalizations are now roughly equivalent based on population size. Stats are definitely skewed in favor of the vaccinated as most vaccinated people wouldn't have ended up in hospital regardless. Quote

Exactly. Cases used to be the big talking point as there was a major difference but that became even. Hospitalizations are the same. They are closing the gap based on population which puts them to the new talking point of ICU. Even if they can show a subtle difference that can benefit the vaccinated, one must ask why they are bragging about it when vaccines are supposed to provide substantial benefit. It’s like the Edmonton Oilers bragging about beating a Pee Wee hockey team 3-2. Sure they can show they score more but they should never talk of a victory that shallow. Quote

Canadians noticed that no matter how fast they ran or pretended to enjoy the government's whip, the curve was never flattened...never going to be flattened. Those mandates and passports were not going to go anywhere. They'd have NEW uses if the virus was ever defeated 100% (hah). Never-mind the realization by a few that bothered to search that China did this to us on purpose with the WHO's assistance...and with our government's apparent participation providing the virus samples.

The crisis that Omicron wrought is that so many people got it, causing Labour shortages in all industries, more specifically Healthcare created a temporary crunch. Estimates are that around 4 million people in Ontario were infected. The restrictions were fairly narrow and temporary. The protestors are right, we're all sick of COVID restriction. But their tactics are appalling and will only help the political factions they oppose. That's why JT won't engage with them, he doesn't want to dignify their behaviour with a response.

I'm fully vaccinated and think it's dumb that I still have to wear a mask and flash my personal health information to eat in a restaurant. Lots of people feel the same way. I'm also not perpetually afraid that the guy in the booth next to me may have made a different decision regarding the vaccine. If it works the way they say it does I should have nothing to worry about. The fact we are in masks still shows the ineffectiveness of the vaccine and certainly undercuts the narrative that a pass is warrented Edited February 11, 2022 by West 1 Quote

I don’t agree with the blockades but I wouldn’t say they are appalling. There are a small minority of those involved doing appalling things but that happens with most protests.

Here's what I read- I like how the new CPC leader is on one hand photographed smiling among truck protesters, then releases a statement like "The truck convoy protesters voices have been heard. We hear you. Now it's time to go home." - She speaky from both sides mouthy - No idea what a protest is actually about - In other words, just another political opportunist. - Get lost... Quote
