Re: Former anti-vaxxer in Northern California urges vaccinations after entire family struck with COVID-19

If you end up hospitalized with lung cancer after years of smoking, did you die from smoking or did you die because someone unvaccinated was hospitalized with covid taking your resources? Obviously it’s the anti-vaxers fault! Incidence is the total number of new cases of cancer. Mortality is the num...

Re: Former anti-vax Edson woman shares husband's COVID-19 ICU horror story

We should add a heart disease and cancer discussion board. We could then post anecdotes about people on their deathbed who wish they quit smoking and eating junk food. Here tell me if I’m doing this right https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/grade-12-student-winnipeg-dies-complications-influenza-...

Nah, LOA. No pilot is losing their job, they can get vaccinated any time and come back from LOA at any time.

Re: Take the vaccine, or lose your job - WTF?

We've had this problem for many years before even COVID. Agreed. Hopefully this past election will point the government in the right direction. In fact the more we keep saying vaccinated people still need masks the more anyone who doesn’t want a vaccine just reinforces their beliefs that the vaccin...

Re: Take the vaccine, or lose your job - WTF?

Hey everyone. How about we fix the ROOT cause of these issues which is our health care system.... We are only bandaging things now.....We've had this problem for many years before even COVID. Honestly at this point I’m convinced we just need to head the way of two tier like America. You know what’s...

Re: Take the vaccine, or lose your job - WTF?

I still think the best way to encourage vaccines would have been to remove mask mandates so the vaccinated go maskless, and have policy for those not vaccinated to keep masking. Those who didn’t want vaccines and prefer to mask would have been an option that seems fair no? No one is forced to get a...

Re: Take the vaccine, or lose your job - WTF?

I think that’s kind of besides the point. There are many laws that are not exactly followed perfectly, such as speeding and the highway traffic act. Yes, but speeding is much easier to enforce. Why are we concerned about enforcement? What difference will enforcement make? I don't think it will make...

Re: Take the vaccine, or lose your job - WTF?

Do you really think the unvaccinated would follow such a policy, especially if they're segregated like this? I think that’s kind of besides the point. There are many laws that are not exactly followed perfectly, such as speeding and the highway traffic act. I do think most of them would see it as a...

Re: Take the vaccine, or lose your job - WTF?

https://health-infobase.canada.ca/covid-19/vaccination-coverage/ Looks like Mandatory employer vaccine programs are working. Noticeable uptick in vaccinations. Maybe 1-2 percent more Canadians vaccinated than what would have, or 500,000-1000000 people. My bet is with these 1 million people vaccinate...

Re: Anti-mask Protest Oraganizer caught covid and died

Pelmet and the media have moved on to anecdotal evidence as the science makes it hard to argue his points. How many pro mask Canadians died from covid? About 27k. When the science doesn’t work in your favour, kill people with anecdotes. In fairness, the anti-vax crowd are the poster-children for an...

Re: Anti-Vax Hockey Player's Career Might be Ruined by Covid

I'm curious about the math in that article, Montando. The number of people requiring hospitalization in Canada has been over 80,000, which is about 1 in 20 confirmed cases. If 10-20% of those requiring hospitalization have heart inflammation, I don't understand how that works out to 11/100000. It's...

Re: Take the vaccine, or lose your job - WTF?

I got an answer. They said the study that said there’s zero evidence to show closing ski hills stops covid spread, was evidence that ski hills should close to stop covid spread. They also claimed when people can’t ski they also don’t have a social life outside skiing so it’s basically impossible to ...

Since the science keep changing. How much longer until air Canada considers two shots unvaccinated, and only people who have a third booster are vaccinated?

I understand that with vaccines things should be different, So yes its quite possible a policy this winter will be different than last. Policy will be different this winter. But because its a moving target, they might tighten up or loosen up rules and restrictions. This quote from your post makes m...

Counterpoint, simple question for you that you still haven't answered, so for the third time... If people are not skiing or golfing, what is the alternate activity they will engage in and what is the risk of covid spread at this activity. Is that net result then a net benefit to public health?
