Im still sitting on the fence as I can't even remember having flu in my life but I did have whopping cough as a child because of a similar vaccine /brain damage scare some 46yrs ago.
For now i will wait for more Guinea pigs to step forward and see what comes as my wife's been ill from both her Jabs.
But politically... I sit here in disbelief daily no one's looking at China, given they have almost the same population mass as India yet mocked the recent high cases India has had to deal with.
Are they still covering up cases/deaths? why almost 18 months on has the WHO not got any answers on how they are 'seemingly' keeping covid at bay.
How come Russia shares a border with China yet their cases are relatively low also.
Too many unanswered questions we will likely never find out.
I would figure that the numbers out of China and Russia were recorded at least as bad as ours were here in America.

I would consider the scientific advancements in everything around us over the last 46 years. It is pretty awesome how far we have come since a time that we sold kids tiny lead cars as toys.

I think that’s the motivation. To get the fence sitters vaccinated.
Or, it could be a conspiracy to infect the anti vaccers and give them immunity the old fashioned way! :lol: All those asymptomatic cases and vaccinated people with the sniffles running around without masks will make life hazardous for the unvaccinated. I think the conspiracy angle will work best for the remaining unvaccinated older adults in the states, since most are Trumpers. It's all part of "replacement theory", they is taking over and this is how they are doing it! The younger unvaccinated can be enticed with cash, prizes, peer pressure, marketing by celebrities and of course free beer. :lol:

With single shot immunity in Canada, we will have to play by different rules than the Americans for awhile.

As happy as I am to be able to go mask free, I know this means that we have basically thrown in the towel.

There probably was no other choice. A lot of people cannot comprehend complicated issues, especially if they have to consider the collective actions of a society. All they can think of is "1" - themselves or at best their own family unit.

I've spoken to a lot of people at work about why they will not take the vaccine (only about 25% will - there are three active COVID cases in our group right now) and the most common answer they give is that COVID is 99% survivable. They don't consider the fact that for every one that dies, there are 20 or so hooked up to a ventilator and an unknown number will suffer problems for the rest of their life.

Most of all, I feel bad for those that are immuno-compromised. This sucks for them. They are fucked.

This will do the most to drive them to the jab...

So you don’t pass the virus to others as you can still carry and infect would be my guess. That was a rhetorical question ......... face palm :(.
The chances are so small I could pass it though. If I were to have the virus, it most likely can’t get transferred because it gets stuck in the nose.

Well I still mask up when going through the drive thru ....... it’s polite thing to do, but I am Canadian sooo lol. And yes I’ve had the first shot..... the AZ, but still it’s a shot lol. So if I don’t trim my nose hair I’m protecting people? Cool!!!

A guy who used to live in my city moved to China to teach years ago but continued to produce his radio show for the college station. He has said people follow isolation rules, part of the reason for this was the huge SARS outbreak years ago. When an outbreak occurs medical and army people sweep in and do mass testing, one city had an outbreak and they did a million tests in two days. People have an app on their phones that basically records where you go and when they find people that are infected they map the route the person traveled and people who may have come in contact with the infected person is contacted and told to get tested. If there is a high likelihood of them being infected they are told to isolate themselves.

And there is no cheating like people here. I have heard (I used to work in a hospital) that some people here find out they are infected and decide to pick up some groceries on the way home, possibly infecting others. China has a massive tracking system put in place. There is no one state deciding mask wearing is mandatory and another deciding not. They have taken the virus seriously and snuffed out most of the transmission. It is easier there as you do not have a political party fighting it. Russia is lying about how many people there are infected. That is normal for Russia, nobody believes what the government says.

Not many Canadians are two weeks past their second shot. Keep masking brother, it’s more than polite.

That's your opinion, but it doesn't affect the reality that freedom of religion is a protected class. Freedom from religion is also protected however. No one is going to force you to participate in their religion, they only ask that you don't tread upon their religious beliefs.
Are you serious? All my life these dipshits have been infringing on my right to live free from their religious influence.

It’s weird to think I will have to mask up at work for the rest of my life. There is one perk to the masks though . Because it gets so cold where I work the mask helps to keep my nose warm! I think you need to trim your nose hairs because the virus might get caught in the hair and if you sneeze they will be released and fly around in the air.

Hmmm, or the hairs could trap the virus with the booger balls.....just sayin lol. Yes I’ll keep trimming till the study is complete ;). It almost feels weird not to mask up now but ya it would be nice not to someday :(. This shit is just crazy ....... never in a million years :(. Guess that was one of the problems though and we should have proactively taken it seriously.

Where I live the extremely poor have farms and only low life criminals take/sell/grow drugs.
Having a few ounces of cannabis is a 10 year jail term.

I doubt there's anyone of importance in your community that would consider you as a cannabis grower to be a decent human being.
Quite a lot of forum members have openly admitted to spending time in jail and having felony records.
Ten years? We have shithole nazi states like that here too, Idaho for example.

I think you're mistaken about your perception of my community. I just have some little 1.5ft tall auto's in the backyard that would maybe yield a couple ounces. Nobody cares about that. Now, had I clear cut five acres and bulldozed a hillside to put up a few monster greenhouses and field of 300g pots, then okay, there would be some people that would have negative thoughts....and rightfully so.

Jail and felonies aren't a perfect reference for decency. Go light a match in front of the capitol to protest the gov't and there you go, but is that a window into your soul? Not even close.
