This is why I don’t trust the media

Post by Inverted2 »

https://globalnews.ca/news/9345291/covi ... o-crashes/


Lead investigator, Dr. Donald A. Redelmeier, a University of Toronto medicine professor and physician at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, said investigators “theorized that adults who neglect health recommendations may also neglect basic road safety guidelines.”

He said COVID-19 vaccination is an “objective, available, important, authenticated and timely indicators of human behaviour — albeit in a domain separate from motor vehicle traffic.”

“Whether COVID-19 vaccination is associated with increased traffic risks, however, has not previously been tested,” Redelmeier said in a press release. “Simple immune activation against a coronavirus, for example, has no direct effect on the risk of a motor vehicle crash.”

Probably the same author that said masturbation gives you hairy palms. What will they come up with next. :rolleyes:

so what's this got to do with the media? They're just reporting what the good Dr. is hypothesizing..
And, doesn't it somewhat stand to reason that (risky) behaviour in one domain might be a predictor of (risky) behaviour in another? That's what Airline HR interviews have been about for years now - "Tell us a time when..."

The media writes to the lowest common denominator, low IQ audience. It is not designed to make you think, it is only there to tell you what to think. Some people need that kind of direction in life.

I believe most politicians are sociopaths. And those that aren’t do not make a career of it, or rather can not. These types of studies are just further propaganda pushed by our dear leaders who refuse to and can not admit any wrongdoing. Keep pushing the narrative until it’s no longer required and something more pressing takes its place. Shameful.

New Zealand and Australia were on par or worse than us. How would you feel to have your child stolen from you? For an agenda.

You would need to be a crazy religious nut to oppose taking the child away from the parents in that situation.

How so? They had donors with unvaxxed blood available. And what exactly is a crazy religious nut?

I posted the ctv article but should have shown others. They had friends/family who were unvaccinated and were willing to donate blood. It was against “protocol”. This would make the vaccine narrative look bad. Can’t have that. Just steal the child.

And did the hospital have procedures in place to be able to do all of that in a safe and timely manner?

Maybe because I have better things to do than constantly troll on avcanada? Not sure what you're actually asking. People whose religious beliefs forbid them to use vaccinations. Not sure if this particular example was a religious nut or just a nutbar in general.

You’re right. I have better things to do as well than to respond to every dumb comment here.

And I believe you said above only “religious nuts” would not use vaccinations. Or are you simply taking shots at the large percentage of people in Canada who consider themselves religious?

Nice attempt to try to modify your statements, though.

I was referring the the religions that don't allow vaccination.

Where in the original article does it say these people’s religion barred them from allowing vaccinations? Or even their religious beliefs came into play?

I see no reference to religion whatsoever. I see they made an individual choice, and one can certainly be free to critique that.

So you just threw religion in there for sh— and giggles, right?

I think you’re connecting 2 very different things, at least for the vast majority of folks.

Religion is the only plausible reason I can think of for doing something like this, and I actually mentioned in my comment above that religion wasn't mentioned in the article. Jeez you have a lot of time on your hands for getting offended about nothing.

While you're at it, you may as well define conservatism as well. Consider that these are definitions of both "stripes" in their classical form; which isn't necessarily true to todays modern form.

Code: Select all

con·ser·va·tism
/kənˈsərvədizəm/

1.
commitment to traditional values and ideas with opposition to change or innovation.

2.
the holding of political views that favor free enterprise, private ownership, and socially traditional ideas.

Wohaa look at that definition. Clearly liberals of today have completely lost direction. Liberals of today are completely intolerant and don't promote individual rights and liberties.

Are there any true liberals left or did they all go through the "science" cleansing?

He doesn't.
Religious nuts, anti-vax nuts, same really....If you don't see it, maybe that's because you are one of the two!?

"Irrational, deep-seated belief in God" for one.
"Irrational, deep-seated belief in anti-vaccine" for the other.

Both: "They belittle the intelligent and reasonable person who tries to make them come to their senses" :mrgreen:

About the covidism religion .
The pro vaccine are strict adherents to the letter of the law. They follow the guidelines religiously, can quote government rules without hesitation, are experts on what can be done when, by whom, to whom, inside or outside, with a mask, without a mask, with or without others. They may get hot and bothered, even febrile, if others disagree with their approach. But don’t argue with them, they are the righteous, with the hotline to the Truth.



By the way, I had a running nose this morning. Just for fun I took a test (we still have a box full of covid test stuff, from work, at home) and, guess what? I have covid!! My second official one, yeah!! Or I had, cause tonight I'm fine, no more running nose... Same as last time.

You all remember when team Canada womens hockey team played against Russia and they wore masks to show how committed they were to stop Covid :lol: hilarious.

Now wear your mask and get your vax!

New study is coming out, it has data that shows Masking, when used with other Covid measures, is 90 percent effective at increasing inflation. You heard it here first! Let this all sink in a few more years… we need to see some people lose their jobs, and lose their home. We will also see healthcare continue to fall apart, taxes will remain high but services will be cut.

All by design folks! Covid was an eye opener to how easy it is to make Canadians comply, this was probably just testing the waters for future WEF climate change measures. All we need is a little CBC catastrophe headlines, a fake solution to a fake problem (just like Covid and masking), and Canadians will be well under way to more compliance :lol:. Canadians are well set up to be taken for a ride the next decade. Oh yes and trust the media! The 20th wave is coming, mask up! :lol:… next “big issue” is climate catastrophe, I would bet on it.

There is one thing you bunch of anti-vax nut jobs seems to be missing is that the Covid variant circulating "Now" is less nocive than what it used to be.
-->It mutated in the right direction<--
No more real problem if someone doesn't want to get vaccinated "Now" as it is "Now" less critical for the mass population (I repeat: "Now")

Same with masks really. Anyway none of us peasants had the discipline to wear them properly or change them every few hours, me included, so useless in that way!? You bet you're right! I would appreciate that anyone coughing none stop on the back of my neck had one though... It won't stop the train wreck but slow it down at least.

All those lockdowns, restrictions, vaccination, etc... Did their job! Suck it up! And we finally learned to live with this virus.

Well maybe not the anti-vax's crowd. You are the ones who keeps relighting this useless sub-forum with your hard self beliefs on how health's population should be managed. Like if I would let my life being dictated by an anti-vax know it all Joe blow's crowd digging their knowledge straight from Youtube, TikTok, Facebook or any conspiracy website. You are the self proclaimed "expert" here since you don't want to listen to those who really are (Not me, I'm just a messenger)

This said, most of us just want to carry on with our life. If this self created fighting gives you some sort of a goal in life so be it. But please stay in your circle jerk/Back slapping crowd and don't come annoying the rest with your silliness. It's Ok, Virus is less nocive "Now" and we learned to live with it.



Ps: Vaccination is not about a single person but herd immunity by the way.

Why are all the 4 and 5 times vaxxed people I know getting sick the most then? Those with 0-2 of the miracle jab seem to be doing better. Ps: Haven’t worn a mask since March while out shopping or other indoor settings excluding when forced at the airport and haven’t got sick other than a mild cold. :)
