Instead of “no jab, no play, stay home”, it seems that visiting teams from the USA will now be allowed to bring their unvaccinated players into Canada, for games against the Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Raptors, and the seven Canadian NHL teams.

The vax does not prevent people from getting or passing on COVID19 so it’s unfortunately been a total failure. And if you think it reduces severity please explain how those who were fully vaxed and died are somehow less dead.

Not quite the only protection. I know it's oxymoronic but getting the covid and surviving gives better antibodies than the jab. I got covid and it was a little worse than a bad case of the flu. And I'm 65 with asthma. No respiratory issues. Just aches, pains and lethargy. And I have not been vaxxed.

Never masked (only when absolutely forced to) nor vaxxed (nor will I ever), even w/some health issues). Not so much as a hint of the chinese flu. Not even the people I’ve been around throughout.

Why should I take multiple shots if they don’t prevent catching it or prevent the spread of something no worse than a bad cold & 99.999% will survive anyway?

I was part of the 543,000 odd servicemen deployed from the US to Saudi Arabia for Desert Shield/Storm & forced to take ‘experimental vaxxs’ prior to deployment. Many thousands have suffered life altering illnesses as a result of the taking the vaxxs (like the chinese flu vaxxs-sound families) & my units Second in Command died two years after returning. Nawww, I’ll take my chances w/out taking any.

If I catch it, fine. If I die from it, then so be it. The government may have fooled me once, but they won’t fool me twice.

Wait, so, Nigel - you were born with no immune system? I, as a genetically average human had an immune system more than competent to handle any COVID (including the common cold)...and Chineese varieties. Would never, not ever take the prophylaxis that the Govt blessed and do not suggest to any patient that they should. Plus, been around COVID + PT's all day, every day. Such as life...this whole mortality thing.

My brother and his wife both were quadruple vaccinated and they wore their masks everywhere and both got the WuFlu the same time.

As it should be. I'll take the 99.8% chance of not dying. Had Covid-19 in February 2020. Haven't had a sniffle since. Do nothing to mitigate being around others who are sick.

Any way you slice it - double vaxxed save quadruple boosted are still getting covid. It's a pandemic of the vaccinated.

Seatbelts and insurance are NOT unproven chemicals injected into the human body. No vax, minimal mask (per Florida's amazing governor), sniffles twice; no problem.

Show us the same level of trials that proved the final polio vaccine no longer experimental and then you might get someone to agree with you.

But, that would be impossible. The polio vaccine was tested for over a decade. This COVID vaccine was issued barely six months after initiated. The only tested part was that Robert Malone had worked on decades earlier.

And, that's what you choose to put your trust in?

But, you gotta admit, this "vaccine" has the largest number of Clinical trial patients ever!
MichaelDealey
And it's still ongoing. The third-phase clinical trial for Pfizer doesn't end until February 2023. https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04368728

Also, nobody in America got an FDA approved vaccine and there are no plans to make them available.

So, you believe that a greater percentage of vaccinated people died/were severely ill from COVID than unvaccinated people... that is, you believe the vaccine >increased< the probability of death? If irrationality is hereditary, then it is just a matter of time until your offspring win a Darwin.

Doctors do not use cloth masks in infectious environments.
MichaelDealey
No, it's not. Doctors do not wear masks to prevent infection, because they cannot filter out viruses.

They are basically worn as splash guards during surgeries. Period.
This is why your dentist wears one. So he doesn't spit in your open mouth, and so nothing from your mouth splashes into his mouth or nose.

Same with an open body cavity during surgery.

There is no expectation that a mask will prevent exposure to an air-born pathogen.

If masks work at preventing viral transmission, and we've always "known" this, why have we all not been wearing them every flu season for the last century?

Answer: Because it was determined long ago that this assumption is wrong.

Why are we still having to explain this after two years?

There is NO denying it, now; it's in everyones faces!

I suppose three late is better than never for something that never had an effect on the virus.

Of course, neither did the destruction of a $22.5T economy and putting forty million people out of work. You mean the period during which if things had remained normal without restriction the net result would be a 0.2% difference in deaths? That's what the Johns Hopkins study tells us.

But, we more than made up for the lives saved with thousands of suicides, including children who had been isolated from their schools, friends, extracurricular activities, extended families and lives as they knew.

The Canadian thugs running that country are as bad or worse than Biden.

While we’re celebrating some sanity returning to Canada, remember the USA still requires non-citizens to so proof of being fully compromised…errr, vaccinated. You can avoid this requirement by entering illegally.

I'm actually kinda disappointed about this. I needed to fly to upstate New York this July but wasn't excited about flying cross-country to NYC and then connecting to Burlington or Albany with a bunch of unmasked people who no longer cared whether they got other people sick or not. So instead I few direct to Montreal on Air Canada where the FA's were super-serious about folks not ignoring the masking rules which definitely lowered my stress level, especially since vaccination was also required. This made for a pleasant journey and a nice trip. Now I'll probably put off any travel until next summer when hopefully we will finally have made some progress against the disease.

Certainly a lot of people hope that it is but I still have way too many people in my group of friends that have come down with it in the last month. Only once that changes will I begin to believe that it is over. Other folks can quote this statistic or that statistic but I am going by my friends and co-workers and Covid is still out there and taking names among them so I am still taking precautions.
MichaelDealey
Were they vaccinated?
In case you haven't realized it yet, the vaccine is the virus.
It's designed to instruct your cells to continuously manufacture the pathogenic portion of SARS-CoV2 (the spike protein) and there's no known off switch.

Contrary to what they originally told us, the synthetic mRNA does NOT break down after a few hours. In fact, they don't know how long it keeps working because they quit checking after 120 days. I guess they'd rather not know.

If airlines would have all-masked and all-unmasked flights and let us choose which to take I would go along with that. Unfortunately now it's like the olden days when they tried to pretend that they could set up "smoking" and "non-smoking" sections on an airplane and make everyone happy.
MichaelDealey
Let's see.. A judge in Florida decided that masks on planes were a violation of peoples rights and ordered that this rule be suspended. People immediately stopped wearing them and what happened?

Nothing. No surge in illness.
Everyone is doing fine and they're a hell of a lot happier -- especially flight attendants and pilots who no longer have to act like bouncers in a club with a dress code.

The CDC and Biden vowed to appeal this court decision but it never happened.
Why?

Because they would have to provide compelling evidence that this unlawful mandate was actually making a statistical difference in preventing illness, and there is no such evidence.
TimDyck
Tim Dyck 2
OMG that’s almost like science. You know the whole results based data that shows wether a policy has a positive effect or a negative effect or no effect at all.
MichaelDealey
What did you do when flying *before* the "pandemic"?

You do realize that you are nearly 10x more likely to die from the flu than from Covid, right?
Did you (or anyone) wear a mask on the plane prior to 2020?

Please realize you've been lied to by people and institutions you thought you could trust, and start the process of deprogramming yourself. You'll be happier.

Let's review:

1. This is the first time in history failure of a vaccine is blamed on those who did not take it.

2. FDA and CDC aggressively ignored reports of vaccine injuries and deaths to maintain the "safe and effective" claim that is obviously untrue for anyone willing to look at the data.

3. A meta-study published on CDC.gov in April, 2020 covering ten RCTs conducted over 72 years showed masks do not prevent spread of airborne respiratory infections -- but non-mask wearers were blamed for the failure of masks to prevent infection of mask wearers.

4. The COVID (non) treatment protocol prescribed by NIH -- and required to gain liability protection for hospitals -- directed NO treatment for patients until they were critically ill, then directed use of remdesivir (a highly toxic, often lethal, ineffective drug) and ventilators. This protocol gave the USA the worst per-capita COVID death rate in the world.

5. Both the government bodies (NIH, CDC, FDA, NIAID, White House) and the individuals pushing narrative 1, 2, 3 and 4 are significantly conflicted by their financial ties to big pharma.

6. The doctors successfully treating COVID instead of dutifully following narratives 1, 2, 3 and 4 have suffered personal and professional attacks orchestrated by the same people identified in item 5.

No...I am not being lied to by the doctors in item 6.

I have been lied to repeatedly by the public health apparatus (item 5) that is charged with protecting me.

You, Alan, can wear your face pampers and take your vaccines. I will continue to follow the advice of doctors referenced in item 6. That advice has saved my 91 year old mother-in-law from COVID, saved several other family members from COVID and prevented me ever being infected with COVID.
MichaelDealey
Yes. I realized everyone was lying to me.

The CDC lied.
Fauci lied.
Deborah Birx lied (she admits this on live TV and in her book)
Bill Gates lied.
China lied.
The WHO lied.
The FDA lied.
Pfizer lied (we now have their clinical trial data - which they wanted to hide for 75 years)
And most of all, the media lied. Continuously.
They were caught multiple times using fake footage of "overwhelmed hospitals"
and long lines for testing.

Since Ontario's election campaign the official policy is for everybody to run out and get Omicron as often as they like, anybody doubting that can wear their own masks. Apart from their loutish behaviour, had to laugh at the noisy sniveling of truckers who stop their rigs at empty intersections every day only because a fascist government put a red light there.
