Finally, somebody of consequence said it.

This isn't said enough. I'm furious at the media for crying about these idiots and not finding the people who rightly disdain them.

Testify, sister.

I'm more tired of dealing with stupid fucking idiots this past year than actual COVID

It was always going to be about the idiots.

It feels like it's getting worse. In my area, I keep hearing more and more fall prey to misinformation. They're digging in their heels.

Oh fuck. 100%!!

Fire their asses and move on
ThatSonOfaBitch
I'm going to stop saying it's selfishness, because that's not exactly right. It's callousness. It's callous disregard for patient health.

Agreed. Bad employee not working here anymore.

Hi Frank.
ObiWanShalomi
She doesn't look like a Frank?
pomax
Hey what if she'd said that before the third wave eh? The first wave response was excellent, everything since then has been "CAN YOU PLEASE"
pomax
cases spiking from 200 to 500 to 900? Fuck it, no need to reimpose any measures.
bishopolis
Agreed. I think someone told her to be nicer, and now she gets to say "Look how that turned out, genius!" back.
pomax
If you say "I told you so" after people died, instead of going "I will quit if you don't act" before they die, you're the bad guy.
pomax
A different bad guy, but still a bad guy.

BC has seen 204,914 cases, 11,338 Hospitalisations and 2,156 deaths with a pop of 5 million.
ChickenSnizort
In BC, 8,263,575 vaccine doses have been administered. 90.0% of eligible people have had one dose and 85.4% two.

Despite that, BC is averaging around 600 new cases per day.
mcglirkymeow
My niece got let go from her job because she refuses to vax for some stupid reason even she can’t properly explain. She’s in her mid 30s.//
bishopolis
She should learn why. And 'why' was 'facebook' and idiocy. I'm sorry for your sibling to have such a problematic child.
mcglirkymeow
I have zero sympathy.
catlookingcool
I’m pretty sure her name isn’t Frank ?
mrchy276
Wow...internet, research scholarly research articles?? Why are you still a dumbass?
VaxxedCanadian
Surely you cant be serious
unc0nnected
NutshellBRTD
Vaccines only protect those vaccinated -vaccinated/unvaccinated can still spread the virus - so move on already.
dontrike
Why would you choose to be that stupid?
RemanentSky
That is not at all true. Everyone vaccinated has a greatly decreased chance of developing disease while the vaccine is effective, meaning...
RemanentSky
.. a greatly reduced chance of contributing to the mutation of a resistant strain.
MadMupp
But couldn't a vaccinated person still pass on covid to other people? So who are they protecting by not being vaccinated? Themselves?
Skawomplious
Yes, it's possible. But the chance of a vaxxed individual contracting COVID and thus being infectious are far smaller than the chance (1)
Skawomplious
of an un-vaxxed individual being infectious. It makes sense for everyone that can be to be vaxxed. (2)
thevortexmaster
Yup. We also have vaccine passports no exemptions in order to use any non essential services and masks are still mandatory. Even with our>>>
thevortexmaster
Vaxx rates at 89/85% partial and fully vaxxed we're still having some issues
Ballztick
Just stay out of the hospital Einstein
MadMupp
I'm double vaccinated so I can go where I please me bucko
Ballztick
I'm triple vaccinated
MadMupp
Thats it isn't it. You got it because you want to be the goodest boy ever. They could tell you to have a 4th or 5th & you would question it.
Ballztick
Hell yes!! Have a spiffy day!!
BadTemperedRodent
I think at this point it is commonly accepted that this first generation of vaccines are not as amazing as we would've hoped. They are great
BadTemperedRodent
but they are not amazing and certainly not perfect. However, provided the person's immunity does not wane too badly, then it should keep
BadTemperedRodent
the person from being hospitalized. This is important since our medical resources are limited. So even if there is transmissibility, at
BadTemperedRodent
this time it seems like the goal is to have things be endemic, in which the bulk of people are asymptomatic so life can go on.
AwwDamn321
Verrry rare. Especially if no symptoms.
rubypilgrim
No vaccine is 100% effective. What they do is drastically reduce the chance of contracting the virus, and if you do get it, it won't have-
rubypilgrim
such a powerful (and fatal) effect. So - in a population that is mostly vaccinated, 1. the virus has a much lower chance of transmission-
rubypilgrim
2. if it does get transmitted to another vaxxed person, the recipient is unlikely to have a severe response. If it gets into an unvaxxed-
rubypilgrim
population, oboy, it's a fresh banquet. Viruses mutate quickly, so they will do so in the unvaxxed population more quickly than the vaxxed-
rubypilgrim
and a new vaccine may have to be developed, because the old one won't match the new virus. The beauty of the mRNA vaccine is that it's much-
LoudAngryJerk
can? yes. 95% less likely? Also yes.
RedIronCrown
That you can still die in a car crash with a seatbelt on doesn't mean we shouldn't wear seatbelts.
makem9999
The vaccinated are protecting the hospital's, by dramatically lessening their chances of ending up in one, especially ICU of they catch it
MadMupp
But if theyre young and healthy (which is likely) they're statistically more likely to be poorly for a few days then totally fine.
zFUBARz
Each new case is a chance at mutation, and long covid doesn't only impact those with severe symptoms.
MadMupp
Most long covid cases have been found to not be long covid at all by the way.
makem9999
In general for an individual you are right, but in a big population there are enough unvaxxed still getting I'll enough to fill out ICUs
MadMupp
Well the hospitals didn't get overwhelmed when nobody was vaccinated. So why would they not that most the population is vaccinated?
makem9999
Well I think they did hit breaking point, which caused lockdowns, but Delta has fukd everything up. The #s could be insane without vax
NewToTheEnterwbs
Might have been accurate in the beginning before the mutations but now the ages have lowered and elementary aged kids are dying. Also, the
NewToTheEnterwbs
2 virus is leaving permanent damage on victims that could decrease life expectancy, quality of life, and start other illnesses. Your comment
NewToTheEnterwbs
3 reminds me of that meme on changing bad habits for climate change, "what if we better the world and it ends up being a hoax".

So we should all support gov't-mandated third doses? Message received, thanks for passing that along.
ButImNoExpert
tldr version - boosters may be required. Why did you feel the need to post that here?
LoudAngryJerk
because he looked for a mix of words that supported his point, ignoring the fact that he had to ignore a bunch of other words to come to>

EvilShenanigans
Posting a study with no comment is taken as anti covid vaccine. Perhaps you all are looking for opposition were there is none.
ButImNoExpert
I asked you specifically why you posted that before you got any downvotes. You failed to respond. Why not provide context / reasoning?
EvilShenanigans
I do not live on imgur. Regardless, it's a new study that I thought some might like to read. I didn't think one needs to provide reasoning
EvilShenanigans
To every post posted. You may have asked prior to the backlash to my link to a study, but why does it matter? It's a study. There is no bias
ButImNoExpert
That's most likely why you got downvotes. A link to a study unrelated to the post, with no additional clarification. It's pointless.
littlecoatfatguy
(89% / 84%) of Canadians over age 12 are now (partially / fully) vaccinated against COVID.

littlecoatfatguy
To be fair y'all had some real problems with officials saying AZ was dangerous, which probably didn't help.
Magus25
I had to double check Newfoundland is kicking ass at 96%/89% . I honestly thought we would have more hold outs. Next up the kids turn.
sosume
Isn't there a ditch garden you should be tending to, Newfie?
billstranger
Quebec is now at 90%/87%. Whoop whoop!
CrispyPyjama
Holly poutine, that's very high !
CaptianArchibaldHaddockIsMySpiritGuide
Dear Canadians, Could you just invade the US already? I know nowhere is perfect but we could use whatever help we can get.
CanuckleheadChick
We did that once. You didn't take the hint.

Only because you were too damned polite about it...

We had one nice big bonfire but then got bored so went home

90%/85% of BC over 12 fully/partially vaccinated, 80%/76% of total population.
Narfwak
BC may as well stand for Best Canada at this rate
zFUBARz
I dunno PEI is pretty delightful
littlecoatfatguy
...well, the parts southwest of Hope, at least.
goflyblind
yay, i made it!
theusernameformerlyknownastildo
I have no idea if we're "the best" but we definitely have pockets of idiocy around the province.
LtColThorin
Manitoba is 78.6% / 74.5%
Fyremusik
86.9 and 83.8% according to this https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19/vaccine/reports.html
Fyremusik
it was stuck at 2 doses 82% for a long while, think it slowly went up the last few weeks up to 83.8%
LtColThorin
See, I thought it was higher, then I spent so many seconds searching Google. And find those numbers.
Fyremusik
Think it's been up since the vaccinations started, province did a good job with having the info up. Updates daily.
Fyremusik
Also can zoom in on the map and see vaccination rates in different areas of the city
GuesstimatedFacts
If my math is correct, that's at least 89%/84% of Canadians that didn't vote for Trump.
LaughingInTheFaceOfDanger
I'm gonna go with a bit higher ;)
Kronzor
100% of canadians didn't vote for trump. We're not idiots!

Dual citizens exist my friend

The cult of Trump extends beyond borders and voting rights.

Any dual citizen who supports Ford or Kenney would absolutely be Trump supporters

Come on, you know he got some write-in votes in Alberta.

I have two "friends" who are Trump loving idiots here in Quebec. One is fully into Qanon... Thanks Trump!!! It will come at no surprise >

GuesstimatedFacts
Yeah, but are they vaccinated.
MapleSyrupMafia
No.
billstranger
Back in the spring i saw an anti-lockdown parade here in mtl with mutiple people waving trump 2020 flags. Who are these people?
MapleSyrupMafia
that they voted for the PPC (Maxime Bernier aka Qanon nutcase). This shit is sad!
CelestialSea
Hey, a vote for the PPC is a vote not cast for the Conservatives, so there's that.
Fnogg
A silver lining I hadn't considered. In part because the possibility of the PPC actually getting elected somewhere seems terrifying
