read some of the comments here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hamilton/comments/p2ah49/hamilton_has_ontarios_highest_covid_rate/
This is one of the comments that was removed and the user banned for being "anti-vaxx":
"So we all know the vaccine simply suppresses the symptoms of Covid and still allows people to contract it and transmit it. Do people who feel fine go to the doctor or go get tested? Of course not. The people who haven't been vaccinated feel sick, get tested and then isolate themselves. The people who have been vaccinated and have and are transmitting Covid just blissfully interact with everyone ignorantly spreading Covid. But ya... let's blame the unvaccinated."
Keep in mind in Canada the sun contributes to natural vitamin D production in humans from May until September. Vitamin D likely reduces cases and severity of covid, so like last year when the natural vitamin D began to decline in September cases began to increase. This time around the skyrocketing cases will make it look like vaccines are largely useless and it will be difficult for Trudeau to argue his (failed) vaccine strategy saved Canadians. So yeah having an election before the end of September makes sense from a Liberal perspective.
That church was exceptionally "progressive" but when people see baptist they assume ultraconservative fundamentalists. I believe they already had gays and one other trans person in "leadership" roles so there wasn't really an issue with the remaining members of the congregation about that kind of thing, so the real issue was this "pastor" 's power tripping and self-promotion. I remember reading something by a former member of the church claiming there was a long back story to this, the members of the congregation did nothing to curtail a takeover of the church by progressives, and that the resulting mess was inevitable. It's a dead church, really no better than any UC church.
I must be missing something because according to this there are 267 cases for unvaccinated people and 54 for partially vaccinated (ie. 321), but also 78 for fully vaccinated. https://covid-19.ontario.ca/data
Also over half of hospitalized and just under half of ICU cases are people partially or fully vaccinated.
Remove the second paragraph, or add every other form of sexual deviance. Specifically calling out homosexuality simply plays into the hands of the gay activists who have successfully convinced society in general that Christianity is preoccupied with an anti-gay agenda.
Which media? The reports I've seen state "thousands" -- which itself is a way of downplaying the true size of the rally.
