Yeah, I get that. It's like trying to reason with zombies.

Your chances of contracting the virus are greater without a shot than with. Your chances of transmitting the virus are greater without a shot than with. Those with a shot have greater protection from the virus and less risk of transmission than those without. It's not higher math. Resisting...

Got any facts to the contrary ? The fact that in general, the huge majority of hospitalizations are unvaccinated people should be a really big clue.

There's the gaping hole in the anti-vax argument right there. All reputable evidence shows that restrictions and precautions, including vaccines, are reducing the transmission rates, and as such are reducing risk to all. While there is no shortage of "evidence" to the contrary, it doesn't...

Look, there's a very basic principle in play here, that the good of the many outweighs the good of the few.

Duh. The virus was brought in from outside of course, cases don't pop up out of nowhere. I expect situations like this will be even less common than they are now with unvaccinated staff and visitors being banned from entering long term care homes, along with a slew of other locations since the...

What's going on in Scotland ? Something to do with what we're talking about or more deflection ?

The vaccine is killing more than the disease now is it ? I'd like to read about that. From a credible source, of course, not offthefuckingdeeprightend.blog.

Godwin's Law in action.

Sure, and how many of those case were transmitted by unvaccinated people? You're choosing to ignore the main point, that vaccinating reduces risk. Just look at the differences in cases per capita between places with lower vax rates and those with higher vax rates. But then again, facts never...

Feeble attempt to deflect from the topic. I'm not biting. Tattoo the unvaccinated ? Now that's just plain stupid. To not vaccinate is a personal choice, and anybody has a right to make that choice, but to think that it comes without consequences isn't realistic. The name of the game is to...

But what are preotests if not an attempt to influence the choice of others? Make your decision and live with the results, easy peasy.

These weiners keep showing up around here too. Giving them media attention just legitimizes their position, better to ignore them. They're just the latest iteration of CAVE people (Citizens Against Virtually Everything).

Are they leaving entirely, or just being more selective as to where they invest ? I have a couple of Canadian Equity mutual funds and Suncor and CNRL have always been among their larger holdings. These are the two "big guns" in the oilsands toady, both were in a decent financial position when...

Fact checkers are useful when choosing to compare mulitple sources to get a comprehensive view of any given situation. Just about all sources have something to offer, even if it's just to find out what the nutballs are thinking. With some advance idea of a source's bias you can use your own...

What do you think these truckers are basing their decision on ? Professional, expert advice, or something they read on facebook ?

Finding an unbiased news source these days is a challenge, but at the other end of the scale it's pretty easy to identify an unreliable source. There are mulitple fact-checking sites, checking a number of them will give you a pretty good idea of what you're dealing with. I find that those...

Young people entering the workforce are not finding blue collar work particularly attractive it seems, everybody wants to be a computer this or a financial that. The not too distant future will be pretty rosy for those who don't mind geting their hands a little dirty, all the cadillacs and...

Ezra Levant's content was limited to a few words, and restricted to name calling and silliness. No I wasn't okay with that but it's what to be expected from a boorish hack like Levant, his business is stirring the emotional pot, not courtesy and respect. The CBC content he retweeted was, from...

To my knowledge City News doesn't have a rotten reputation like some of your other sources, so I have no reason to doubt the factual content of their reports. It's also plain to me that Levant was only using the news bite as an opportunity to take a shot at CBC, an admittedly left leaning news...
