The fact that we have to go to court and teach this to supposedly educated people is truly nauseating.

The Toronto Starâs Bruce Arthur is on a roll todayâŚ
Now is the autumn of our ⌠well, hard to say. The provinceâs COVID cases seem to be largely under control, and hospitals arenât overwhelmed. Ontarioâs independent volunteer science table released its latest modelling Tuesday, and between the caveats, the warnings, the successes and the possibilities, you could read it as more or less a scientifically honest shrug.
Iâd feel more confident if, after only 3 weeks in class, 22% of our local schools were not already reporting COVID cases, with the closure of at least one classroom. Itâs something of a measurement âat the marginsâ but (without boring you with the details) those can be useful statistical indicators of what lies beneath.
The article compares us with Alberta, where Premier Jason Kenney declared COVID to be over back in July, and Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw declared âwe need to learn how to live with [COVID]â back in August.
Alberta and Saskatchewan have become the kind of place where getting a life-threatening injury or disease has become a much worse idea than usual.

Not coronavirus per se, but this is what happens when you take a strict no vaccines stance.

Whoâs your source of information?
Whatâs their source, and their background?
My take on this - boosters here mean less doses for other countries - is based on what Drosten said in the Coronavirus Update Podcast.

âŚwhich made me think of the post two weeks ago by @anon29537550.
Yeah, no thanks to all that âlearning to live with COVIDâ garbage, I need my brain for work.

Has it been a problem on LinkedIn? As much as the platform shits me itâs been the only social media platform where I havenât seen any anti vax crap. Not doubting you - just interested in how experiences differ.

Loaded with it. Itâs the same kind of BS, too; the vaccines are experimental, or not fully approved, or rushed, or not really vaccines; treat yourself with beet juice or ivermectin, or even that old classic of anti-vax BS, hydroxychloroquine; hospitals/the military, companies have no right to mandate vaccination; masks donât work, kids donât get sick - the whole gamut.
I finally had some success getting traction with getting some particularly bad posts removed today, but they wonât remove the anti-vax profiteers who sling their quackery on the platform.

And so it goes. Havenât seen this locally escalate to actual assault, but have certainly seen anger and curses directed our way. And I suspect it will get worse. SighâŚ

They can always just go to the vet.

Veterinary practices have rabies sticks and know how to use them, right?
But seriously, they donât deserve this either. And I suspect some of them are already having to fend off the ivermectin crowd. Thereâs ivermectin in some canine heartworm preventative meds (âitâs paleo!â) as well as horse dewormer.

Holy crap - thatâs awful. I must occupy a very protected corner of LinkedIn - the worst thing I see is motivational bullshit and self-serving âlove my jobâ posts.

I keep seeing stories of people repenting and urging others to get vaccinated but the uptake must be ridiculously low. It feels like 1 dead person leads to some average of under 1 additional person vaccinated. (Number pulled out of the air I am not sure how to measure the effect.)

Every single person getting vaccinated is a win, if you ask me. But yes, itâs not nearly enough of course.
