Most "regular" health problems are also preventable. You know, traditional vices that Christians have always taken issue with -- alcohol, tobacco, premarital sex, illicit drugs, gluttony -- that people like you have always found "oppressive". Our healthcare system was hardly taxed this year anyway, on average less that one person per hospital was in icu at any given time. One of the local hospitals had a temporary overflow tent that was never used and dismantled. And lastly, since most unvaxxed at BIPOCs or 40-something Liberal-voters, how about taking your crusade against them instead?
I still don't know what point you're trying to make. As an example, Toronto had a population of about 500,000 in 1918. By Armistice Day, c. 1750 had died from the flu. Life went on. No services or industries were significantly disrupted if at all.
What happened to "covid isn't the flu"?
Again, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Society didn't exactly collapse and while there were some changes to the way people lived, life went on. Yes there were a number of deaths, but in the end the pandemic ended and those who survived apparently had natural immunity that helped them (and society) later on. You should read newspapers of the time--you'll see that there wasn't the same level of mass hysteria about the influenza and in many respects people functioned normally. Had the "experts" handled the covid response like the 1918 influenza was, 2020 would no doubt been a difficult year, but the "pandemic" would now be coming to and end, but instead we're stuck in a predicament where there appears to be no end in sight.
I'm a little confused here. If vaccines are are not very effective for omicron, which is apparently going to completely take over within a few weeks, what's the point of getting your kids vaccinated at all since all indications are it's very mild? If they think it will offer some protection why would they want to wait 8 weeks between doses because one dose will be almost useless. By the time they're wanting to inflict a booster shot it will be time for the omicron specific dose (March 2022) by which time omicron will probably have passed and cases will be low, and more than likely another variant will be causing another wave to start.
If there are "hundreds of thousands of people who know vastly more than you about infectious diseases and the public health measures necessary to combat global pandemics" (your words) then why is there a "global pandemic going on" (your words). One would think with so many 'experts' we would be in this--what is it now, fifth wave?--predicament at the moment.
On average 300 people die every day in Ontario. The fact that a new virus sweeping through adds a few to the total is sad, but not the end of the world. Throughout history new virus have emerged and worked their way through the global population. People inevitably die as a result, sometimes many. That's just how reality works. Are you so detached from reality that you seriously believe a contagious virus can be stopped and that deaths should never have been caused by it? I hope you're not that stupid, but I have my doubts.
You're just aping the twisted statistics issued by "health experts" meant to fear-monger people into getting vaccinated. Fact of the matter is vast majority of people, vaccinated or not, will not get a serious case of covid19 no matter how often the media tries to convince you otherwise by profiling rare exceptions. We've known for a long time that certain factors contribute to severity and death from covid19, so it's really not about vaxxed vs. unvaxxed, rather what underlying health issues contributed to deaths. In some cases these could have been rectified since the pandemic started (ie. vitamin D deficiency) but "health experts" chose to be silent. Moreover there are effective treatments for covid19 at this point so serious cases and deaths, esp. among unvaccinated shouldn't be an issue now, but again the "health experts" with their obsession with vaccines were reluctant to use them--how many thousands died as a result?
You might actually want to read that before posting it everywhere.
a) Half of deaths are fully vaccinated. (p. 21)
b) "Number of new daily hospitalizations remains very low and stable; deaths are extremely rare" (p. 51)
The fact that elderly fully vaccinated people are still dying suggests that many of the elderly who died prior to vaccines being available would likely have died anyway had they been fully vaccinated. Same goes for severely ill cases that require hospitalization. This is probably why the current numbers seem skewed and make it seem that "unvaccinated" people are more likely to be hospitalized and/or die. Truth is we don't know why people are unvaccinated, most probably because they have underlying health issues that prevent it. In the end we're only talking about a few score people out of millions.
14% of Ontario's population is 2 million people. There are supposedly 200 unvaccinated people in hospital, a few dozen in ICU. ICU patients include people who are being treated for medical issues stemming from their illness (more likely "treatment") and may first have become sick when vaccines weren't available. Other people simply can't get the vaccine.
Also, this omicron variant is supposed to become dominant by the end of the month. Existing vaccines are highly ineffective against it (not that that's a big concern since it evidently mostly results in mild illnesses). So essentially soon you'll be considered "unvaccinated" until Pfizer can start production on their new omicron specific vaccine in March 2022. And then how long will you have to wait? HA HA
Indications are that omicron is mild and results in few hospitalizations and almost no deaths. The UK is report 50,000 cases per day with the actual number estimated at 200,000 (see article), about half of which are supposed to be omicron. Only 10 hospitalizations (mostly double vaxxed people) and one reported death. If it is 4 to 8-times more transmissible than delta then chances are you're going to get it and have a mild case and hopefully get some immunity.

There is no conclusive evidence that covid19 is the cause, rather it could be stress related. Especially, one would assume, if you have a controlling, fear-mongering parent. But nevertheless the CBC uses it for their propaganda campaign.
People in the medical profession who tend to be stridently left and pro-vaccine would willingly admit and provide evidence for something that undermines their credibility? Of course, makes total sense, because we all know that institutions in Canada never, ever cover up for their lies and incompetence. Completely unheard of!!!
