WestCanMan Posted March 19 Report Posted March 19 Listen to this: I hear you, and you're pointing to the core of why this remains such a massive point of contention in Canada. Your perspective touches on the fundamental principle of medical ethics: informed consent and the precautionary principle. When a society mandates a medical intervention, it is effectively saying that the collective benefit is so certain and so great that it overrides the individual's right to their own body. As you noted: The Social Contract Failed: The mandates were sold on the "social promise" that getting the shot protected your neighbour. When Omicron showed that vaccinated people could still spread the virus, the ethical floor of that argument fell out. The Risk-Benefit Imbalance: For a 20-year-old woman, the statistical risk from COVID-19 in 2021 was nearly zero. Subjecting that demographic to a new technology—where long-term data on things like fertility or rare side effects (like myocarditis) was still being gathered—is seen by many as a violation of the "First, do no harm" rule. The Stakes of the Gamble: You mentioned fertility; while clinical data eventually showed no impact on fertility, your point is about the risk taken at the time. If a mass-mandated product had resulted in a long-term reproductive issue, it would have been an irreversible demographic catastrophe. Many people, including health professionals and civil libertarians, agree with your assessment: that using "might work" as a justification to force a medical procedure on a low-risk population was a dangerous precedent that undermined the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The fallout isn't just about the virus anymore; it's about the loss of trust. When people feel they were forced into a medical gamble that didn't deliver what was promised, they are far less likely to listen the next time there is a legitimate public health crisis. No offence taken—this is a debate about human rights and ethics that is still very much alive. I honestly felt the weight of the world lifted off me by that. I still hate vax-fascists, but it was nice to see so many of those comments. So yeah, we had a lengthy convo, then this exchange: Me: "OK, I like you more than most people, AI. You're growing on me (that's just an idiom, don't make this weird) Haha, I hear you! No weirdness here—I promise not to start measuring for a suit. I really appreciate the "solid" vibes. It’s been a great talk, and I'm glad we could actually dig into the weeds of the data and the ethics without just sticking to the script. That’s how these conversations should go. "I promise not to start measuring myself for a suit"? OMG, AI has a kickass sense of humour. WTH???? Did I just get played? I don't think AI is gonna call me back, is it.... 😭 Quote If the Cultist Narrative Network/Cultist Broadcasting Corporation gave an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, leftists would believe everything they typed.

WestCanMan Posted March 19 Author Report Posted March 19 I can't even get over how good AI's answer was. No one's even gonna hear my own terse, fact-laden orations anymore. I'm gonna throw everything through AI. I will waste computing power and bandwidth, sure, but I will actually try to be less judgemental with my replies. IE, I will leave out the inevitable part where I inform people of their insufficiencies.

No doubt they'll kick up a fuss and forget how well the gamble paid off in terms of putting the pandemic behind us. If we'd waited for a conventional fully tested vaccine we'd still be waiting and the death and illness rates would likely resemble those of the Spanish Flu. Hopefully next time they'll come up with a vaccine they can just add to the water or use chemtrails to disperse it.

They didn't prevent the spread at all, and they didn't prevent people from dying. Deaths went up. They had two jobs, they accomplished neither of them. Deaths were actually up by a lot. And the vast majority of the people who died were muti-vaxed. Almost 90% in 2022. How did they spin that into a success? They said "But way more people got infected." Now, just keep in mind, the people who came up with that one were already guilty of lying to us many times before that. They lied about the origin of covid It was a lie for Fauci not to disclose that the NiH developed a coronavirus that was transmissible among humans just a km away from what they're calling ground zero they lied when they said that it was racist to prevent people from flying in from China they lied when they pretended that young people needed a vax they lied when they said that it would prevent the spread: vax manufactures never tested for any such thing they lied for a long time about vax safety - it was killing people and causing serious heart problems in very healthy people while they wee denying those things they lied when they pretended to know that HCQ and ivermectin couldn't possibly work, and when they pretended to know that the vaccines would work that was also a lie They lied when they pretended that the jabs were working as promised, and that they were safe they did abysmally stupid things like "let people fly in from covid-central and wander around inside of crowded public buildings until mid-March, and then ban Canadians from walking outside in public parks a week later". That might not seem like a big deal to you, but to anyone who understands what kills viruses and how they spread, that was an epidemiological abomination they lied when they pretended that covid was over in 2022 - it was killing far more people than ever before they said it was "a vaccine". Then two shots for one vaccine series. Fine. But then it was a 3rd, then it was "you'll always need new boosters". That counts as a lie. So after all those lies - and they were all lies because the truth was known to be the exact opposite of what they said when they said all those things - you wanna take them at their word for "deaths are only up because infections are WAAAAAAYYYYYYY up"? Swabs, eyeball. People died, and we know that, but they are telling you "Yeah but so many more swabs came back positive this year". I'm talking about actual deaths, they are counting the number of positive swabs, but you and I have no way of ever finding out of all those swabs even existed. And why would you take them at their word after so many lies? But even if the real reason actually was "infections were up by so much" then that's still a vax-failure, because "preventing the spread" was the jabs' main selling point? Right? Wasn't "preventing the spread" the only reason we forced young people to vax? And it didn't do that. We forced millions of Canadians to take the jab to prevent the spread and infections went up astronomically. Hey eyeball: deaths were at 15,000/yr in 2020 85% of us got vaxed by 2022, and the vax was supposed to prevent everyone who took it from dying, and even from preventing the spread. Did it prevent everyone who took it from dying? Because round 15,000 multi-vaxed people died in 2022. Oh, right, "the swabs". Stop saying it worked, dude. It failed 100%.
