Imagine his Facebook account was closed today.

Facebook is notorious for filtering information and managing perception of affairs. Interesting example of their power was in Egypt. I will not be surprised if there is an "Anti vax" protest set up by the government to create a "false flag" operation to promote negative public view of anti vaxxers.

Example:

Personal account from a veteran COVID nurse, who got burned out after 15 years:

Here’s Why a COVID Nurse Might Finally Quit

The jaw-dropping hell that’s been going on since the pandemic began

c-salfino.medium.com

“If you’re septic, meaning your body is, like, on fire with infections, it goes into your bloodstream. If you have a bloodstream infection or your lungs have COVID pneumonia, it brings on delirium. Three quarters of them were batshit crazy out of their minds. There was no ‘please’ or ‘thank you,’ that’s for sure. There was stuff thrown, there was screaming, there were tantrums. It was the worst human behavior… like being on a psyche unit."

“But if a patient comes out of that and leaves the ICU, they come to us — and those tubes come out. And after lying there for, like, two weeks, they need bowel training, bladder training and physical therapy. And the nurses and everyone else have to get geared up to go in there to do the physical therapy with them.”

Those who make it out of the ICU and leave the hospital need to go to a nursing home or have home healthcare for rehab. This is when they learn their ADLs, or activities of daily living. Most people, though, didn’t make it out of the ICU.

“I think three-quarters of the people died. When the people under my care went to the ICU…. Well, there would always be one where we would think they were going to make it… and then they didn’t.”

744K dead in the US. Their deaths per capita are 3x of Canada. If they had the same deaths per capita of Canada, they would have had only 248K deaths.

The border is literally an imaginary line on the ground. The grass is not anywhere greener 1 mile away on either side of the border, but it makes a WORLD of difference.

I, for one, am grateful I live in a country where politicians will unite to fight a common enemy, and most citizens still understand & respect the concept of the common good.

Sad news. I liked and respected the man. All the more reason to get the booster shot, especially if you are over 60.

Agreed. Even being fully vaccinated with a booster there’s still no guarantees. But at least it gives you a better chance if you catch it. Sorry to see him go. Very well respected and a gentleman. He will be missed.

His immune system was greatly weakened by cancer.
Full vaccination isn't very effective for people like him.

A new Delta descendant is rising in the U.K. Here's what to know

British and international authorities are closely monitoring a subtype of the Delta variant that is causing a growing number of infections in the United Kingdom.

www.ctvnews.ca

British and international authorities are closely monitoring a subtype of the Delta variant that is causing a growing number of infections in the United Kingdom.
This descendant of the Delta variant, known as AY.4.2, accounted for an estimated 6% of cases in the week of September 27 -- the last week with complete sequencing data -- and is "on an increasing trajectory," a report by the UK Health Security Agency said.

Little is known about AY.4.2. Some experts have suggested it could be slightly more transmissible than the original Delta variant, though that has not yet been confirmed. While it accounts for a growing number of infections, it is not yet classified in the U.K. as a "variant of concern." It currently remains rare beyond Britain, with a small number of cases being recorded in Denmark and the U.S., expert Francois Balloux told the Science Media Center (SMC) on Tuesday.

Update:

Yesterday in USA

+ 86 k new cases.
3112 dead

 

[cloudsurf]

If those figure are true then they would equal 300 deaths in Canada based on population.
Canadian deaths are running at less than 100 a day

Good news, COVID cases are down 50% in the states:

US sees 50% drop in daily COVID-19 cases

We have some good news and some bad news. Cases are dropping thanks to declines in states like Texas, but the nation is still reporting over 1,000 COVID deaths a day.

I don't want to break the party but beside the optimistic title this article also states: "Daily deaths are slowly falling, but remain persistently high. The nation is still reporting an average of 1,250 new deaths each day, and over the last four days alone, the U.S. reported just under 7,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths. The death average is still about 6.5 times higher than in mid-July, when the national average had dropped to a near pandemic low of 192 deaths reported each day."

It is unacceptable that a rich and developed country as USA is doing so poorly when compared to others. We all know why it is such.

The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation predicts that more than 160,000 more people in the US could die of the coronavirus from now through February 1. That would make this third surge of infections the deadliest yet. https://www.businessinsider.com/how...ak-compares-to-other-countries-charts-2020-10

Right wing media personality Dennis Prager announces he has COVID and is happy about it, and announces he's also taking five medications as a result.

I don't think you can say you're relying on your natural immunity if you're on a cocktail of at least 5 different medications.

if he thinks covid is so great, why not go to studio and give it to everyone there.

After the Clorox nothing surprises me.

More really sketchy news.

Super cold: Is 'the worst cold ever' going around? - BBC Newshttps://www.bbc.com › news › newsbeat-58624295

Journalist Tim Pool is carefully discussing this.
He is very careful not to associate with vaccine.

Hospitals Are OVERRUN With Non-COVID Patients, A 'Super Cold' Is Spreading And People Are VERY Sick

I am not a doctor nor a journalist but any Sherlock Holmes would definitely question mass vaccination.
Does the vaccine affect immunity to other viruses and sickness?
Stay tuned.

A short answer is NO. Your body produces antibodies every days, vaccine or not. Don't get confused, a cold has multiple origins and is different from the flue. It can be bacterial or viral, different corona virus. The flue (influenza virus) is much more serious and might be lethal. In UK government dropped down distanciation and mask wearing. Not a surprise that cold with runny noses is coming back. They should have kept some distanciation and mask wearing as we do here.

Évidemment toutes ces données en provenance d'Europe nous laissent songeurs et soulèvent beaucoup de questions encore sur les différentes stratégies adoptées ..ici l'on se pense de plus en plus à l'abri et nous avons bien fait nos devoirs.....

MAIS ces différentes réalités doivent nous rappeler à l'ordre....nous sommes toujours en terre fragile....my 2 cents.
