Because we reached a point where hospitals do have to choose who they treat and who they don’t. The fact they delayed hundreds of surgeries to deal with Covid is the proof. This requires debate. We can both agree we would prefer to see an increase hospital capacity rather than having to make...

You need to re-read the article. They never say vaccination is the right choice. The quote the president of the association of ethics says "Usually, bioethics is all about protecting and promoting the right of each patient to make their own decisions". They make the case for never prioritizing...

Good article on bioethics, unbiased (IMO) https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pandemic-covid-vaccine-triage-omicron-1.6319844

The company cancelled their flight home. Problem solved.

Absolutely, they go on to highlight correlation and causation are two things.

The beauty of science is through data analysis and experimentation we can up with with a hypothesis that we can test. (Sorry if I am using words too big for you). Here's some background on a study that links vaccination to levels of education...

Common sense would say no, so that means yes. Seriously, I don't think Justin has it in him to do it unilaterally. So look to Joe. The minute they sense the southern border is a risk, they will close the northern border as well. But I don't believe they will.

I am not sure what reality I am trying to disprove. None of the measures we have are a silver bullet. None. The sum of the measures are the best we have. I hear everyone bitching about them but nobody has anything better to offer.

You sound like a person that is pissed off the vaccine is not a silver bullet that is going to cure cancer and solve world hunger. Spoiler alert : it's not.

No. Listening to docs in hospitals the older are not staying for weeks, before going to ICU before dying. They require a little oxygen and move on after a few days. The young need to get vaccinated to not be hospitalized to leave room for those that need it. The older raise their odds by...

You may want to read the fine print on those claims. Especially today since someone over 60 (I think you are), your chance is much less than x9. A few days ago 65% of cases were people over 60 and 80% of them were vaxxed. However 35% were under 60 and 20% of them were vaxxed. In other words if...

So I hope you're listening to the scientists :-)

100% agree and I believe we need to turn to the courts when we need to balance the two. I am surprised we have seen so few challenges to the mandates put out there.

No, I believe the 98% of them that say the vaccine is safe and effective. I believe the ones that back their recommendations with data that follows rigorous review process. You cannot find a single piece of scientific literature that has gone through some type of review that shows vaccines are...

I am glad your professional medical opinion says not everyone needs them. Because today, that small minority of unvaccinated (less than 10%) is occupying a bed at the expense of a person waiting for surgery. This is not an opinion, this is a fact. Maybe we can identify who needs them before they...

If this were in place, non vaccinated would get no care today. Do you see that happening i.e letting the non vaccinated out in the cold ? And I'd love to hear Franco and Mike say they'd be ok with this

Tell them you are going through to Ottawa. They will know there is no funny stuff going on because there is no funny stuff in Ottawa

I am no expert on Measles or herd immunity but I believe due to the contagiousness of measles vaccination rates of 90something percent is required and even then does not guarantee against breakouts.

On herd immunity : the % of vaccination required to reach her immunity depends on the contagiousness of the virus. Since delta and then omicron became so contagious, the % went up to the point it is unachievable People are pointing their finger at the unvaccinated because they represent a...

If I were you I would be more worried about this one http://legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/document/lc/p-38.001?langCont=en
