It did get to a point where our dummy government offered incentives to dummy antivax folks to get the jab. https://globalnews.ca/news/7858373/covid-vaccine-incentives-canada-reward/amp/ That's not what the article says. It says: Some American states did. Some Canadian small private businesses and a University did. A Canadian epidemiologist talked about how the government might start using incentives, but probably not. The article is 3 years old. An update would say the government did not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 If I wasn’t here then who would ban you all? Boo Bonnie Henry and all people in their respective Health Ministry. The worst people ever. I hate them. They forced me to be protected against a viral pandemic strain. The gall! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not going to chat about it though, because apparently an opinion other than ‘our government is perfect’ is ban worthy. I’ll just say Bonny Henry is perfect and not a single poor decision has ever come from our wonderful liberal government. Every decision they make/made has been 100% for your benefit and the exact right choice. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one has been banned for disparaging or disagreeing with Bonnie. I think people have been banned for promoting cures equivalent to ingesting bleach. This thread may appear to be an echo chamber (a commonly overused phrase IMO) to some but it's pretty open to anything but noise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, my definition of an "echo chamber", is a discussion where a small group of people express a position that is so far out to lunch that the majority of others involved wonder how they can tie their own shoes, or make toast without burning the house down.... ....The same people who are the reason for the "Do not ingest" warnings on those little desiccant packets that you see in packing boxes....

There was a couple of private companies in db’s link and a contest to win free tuition at the U of Lethbridge but I’ve yet to see anything from the Canadian government. I mean is it so wrong for a company to try to encourage their employees to get vaccinated by offering incentives? People complain about the stick but ragging on the carrot seems a little much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arrogant Worms Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Trump Makes Bizarre Threat About Schools And Vaccine Mandates The man who once took credit for the COVID-19 vaccine keeps pandering to the GOP's growing anti-vaccine faction. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-school-vaccine-mandates_n_6673088fe4b0a1f905bb0c4a Donald Trump vowed at a rally Tuesday that if reelected, he’ll cut funding to every school with a vaccine mandate ― even though all 50 states have such laws on the books. “I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask mandate,” he declared at his rally in Racine, Wisconsin.

Gurn Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 I'm not sure that I like how this is framed, nor am I positive about the source- so be warned. Also there is a word in the text that could be missed, so I will put a very important word in large letters- " could " https://www.msn.com/en-ca/health/other/deadly-bird-flu-could-be-worse-than-covid-as-global-officials-urged-to-act-now-to-save-humanity/ar-BB1orSzU?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=5999046290bb47898c34126bfe181469&ei=56 " Despite the severity of COVID-19 and its seering effects that have been felt for several years, a medical expert suggested that a bird flu pandemic would have a much worse for humanity. Knewz.com has learned that the global fatality rate for COVID-19 was 1.4%, while the fatality rate for the H5N1 avian influenza is approximately 52%. An expert has claimed that there is potential for bird flu to successfully adapt and become capable of human-to-human transmission. Dr. Leonard A. Mermel, the professor of medicine at Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and the medical director of the Department of Epidemiology & Infection Prevention at Lifespan Healthcare System, has expressed concerns that the disease could infiltrate humans through cows and subsequently make mankind the carrier of the virus. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 19 more paragraphs at link ---------------------------- I do note the alarming "Knewz.com has learned that the global fatality rate for COVID-19 was 1.4%, while the fatality rate for the H5N1 avian influenza is approximately 52%." and point out- sample size is extremely important here- as is the tendency(so far) of viruses to mutate and become less deadly. Also transmission of 'bird flu' is, as of now, not human to human. I'd suggest that the governments look at this as a warning-and do some prep, using lessons from our recent pandemic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
