Careful travelling to Canada since they have 5% of the active cases per capita as we do. You might not get enough covid there - US government

Please .. Americans, do stay away from Canada.

iirc their youths and orthodox community doesn't want to get vaxxed

The vaccine doesn’t make you immune dude. It just reduces your chances of serious illness. Also people are saying “look how many vaccinated people are getting sick!!” Well yeah, duh. The more vaccinated you have, the more will get sick in the % between vax and unvax.

That’s like saying “why are all the bad drivers in richmond chinese??” Well, cuz 90% of the total drivers ARE Chinese, therefore the odds are 9:1 lol

^ The Costco parking lot strongly endorses your statement :fullofwin:

Dr. B showed new Covid modelling data today.

Unvaccinated people make up 81 percent of hospitalizations in the last month.

Unvaccinated people are 17 times more likely to be hospitalized than fully vaccinated people.

She keeps talking about a "risk based approach" to dealing with Covid cases.

If it is a risk based approach, then why did Dr. B. mention the possibility of getting kids in age 6 to 11 to get vaccinated?

Is it safe for kids in that age range to get vaccinated when their immune systems are still developing in that age range?
Giving the vaccine to kids in that age range is not a risk in itself??

Are you kidding me, Dr. B???? :fulloffuck:

To me, it's more evidence they have no clue what they are doing.

So are the people who told everyone they should get the vaccine going to say they will not vaccinate their kids once one is developed?

what about flu shots?... did anyone freak out about that for kids in the history of vaccines.

Yes I've seen those who refused treatment so the kid dies. I guess that they can make another one or we don't need another anti Vax around

I don’t get the angle. How does wanting kids to be vaccinated once it’s declared safe to do so mean they don’t know what they are doing? What am I missing here.

Your missing the fact that this thread mostly consists of licenced doctors, scientists, and politicians.

People are just all over the fuckin map here lol.

People just wanna be contrarian dicks. OMG Dr. Henry won't mandate masks. Omg She mandated masks but won't with vaccines, OMG she won't vaccinate or children, now she's going to vaccinate our children OMG?! Some people think she's the "Manager of COVID" or something rather than the Chief Medical Officer of a small insignificant Province in a small insignificant Country who gets 2nd hand information.

Also, who the fuck is Dr. B?

Neanderthal !!

People also don't understand that the less severely sick you are, the less viral load and less chance you'll be spewing out the virus to give to someone else.

coronavirus discussion
 

My bad. I should refer to Dr. Henry as Dr. H. LUL

My point is that if Dr Henry, Dr. H, is using what she calls a “a risk based approach” towards fighting Covid in BC, I hope she shows scientific data to support her claim that vaccinating kids ages 6-11 is possible and safe.

Show us the data, Dr. Henry!

She’s not walking around vaccinating kids. She’s speaking about how that is a hope for the future. Clinical trials have been ongoing for months and she will share that data when it becomes available from the case studies. She is neither developing, nor approving the vaccines herself so I honestly don’t know what you think is happening based on her statements.
I also don’t think the term “risk based approach” is corresponding with what you think it means.
You identify the largest risk to your goal, do what you can to address that risk, then move on to the next largest risk to your goal.

Everybody in the US and Canada are basically doing exactly just what you are asking -- we are all waiting for the scientific data to come out. FDA has been requesting that same info from Big Pharma (and Pfizer, especially), but has also changed the level of trial data that they want from the pharmaceutical companies, so the study is not finished yet. If FDA doesn't change its mind again, we should be able to see the trials wrapping up by the end of Sept, and results from the approval process from the FDA by the end of Oct, and maybe kids in the 5 - 11 range will be able to start getting vaccinated.

Frequency Podcast did a story on exactly just that today. Check it out, because it's good info:

this guy's shameless LOL

am i reaching here?

assuming the cashier is a teenager, isn't that some sort of offense on a minor to be whipping it out and peeing in their direction? some sort of sexual crime no?

Becoming a registered sex offender for that would definitely be some poetic justice.

The rising case counts will just continue to exacerbate the inequality of those working for and owning small businesses that rely on the in-person experience and the professional class who work for larger organizations whose businesses can continue to function virtually or can impose mandatory vaccine policies with little pushback from employees.

as a small business owner, covid has had a significantly detrimental financial impact on my business. Down 90% in the early months.

a "vaccine passport" as much as I'm wary of government overreach/tracking will absolutely help small business in the arts and entertainment/hospitality/tourism industry.

if we can get some vaccine policies in place, the events my business supports will be able to resume safely

all we want is for day to day events to resume. I can't think of a single type of small business that won't benefit from this government's vaccine policies that seek to further drive take up.

the amount of people protesting near VGH...

if you are going to protest, atleast do it away from the hospital:facepalm:
