Yes, and that is not surprising. Vaccination does reduce the risk of transmission somewhat, but not buy a huge amount, and probably less for certain variants. Reducing transmission is not the primary reason for an individual to get vaccinated.Quote:

At what point does society stop getting tested for Covid everytime they have a runny nose?
You've been vaccinated to protect yourself from a severe outcome. The reality is we will all contract Covid in perpetuity moving forward. It's part of our lives now.
Vaxxed, un-vaxxed I genuinely don't care what your choice is. I've done my due diligence to protect myself and my family as best as I can, let's get on with our lives.
What is the survival rate of unvaccinated vs vaccinated?
What % of ICU beds are currently filled with vaccinated vs unvaccinated?
What % of current COVID cases are vaccinated vs unvaccinated?
Again, I don't give a shit if you want to get vaccinated or not, but when covid cases are spiking (again) and its predominantly unvaccinated perpetuating the cycle and it hinders me from living my life and operating my business then its a problem.
You been eating horse paste? This is fake news mister.Quote:

Don't have a heart attack in the next year while we work through getting the unvaxed immune to covid and through the ICUs.Quote:

If you're dead, you're dead, you aren't taking up resources.
But if you're in the ICU on a vent or taking up space, you are contributing to the shortage, thus the health care freak out, thus the reason for lockdowns.
Just got this in my email.

On August 5, 2021, we warned against the Biden regime’s forced universal vaccination policy, and Facebook promptly censored us. Now, the World Health Organization Director is pleading that world governments abandon their infinite booster shot madness, warning – as we did – about the possibility of more “virulent” and “potent” mutations. We wonder if Facebook will censor him.
My wife is a RN at Kelowna general and one of her coworkers was spit on and harassed last night on her way in. I’m going to take my wife in for work tonight and won’t hesitate to send a couple people to the dentist if I see any of that going on. Getting spit on allows for self defence, right?
That's awful. I know a pile of healthcare workers and what they're seeing first hand is a deterioration of society that seems irreparable. They are beyond exhausted and have had zero relief from the PPE requirements and isolation protocols that have been going on for about 18 months. It's really bad. Angry, unreasonable families making threats and violence and spitting & pissing in protest. It's grotesque.Quote:
