Getting vaccinated, and keeping up with whatever new shots are itroduced is the best way to get ahead of the issue.

I have a feeling COVID is going to be like this as well. Regular vaccines to protect against yearly strains and waves. I think it's just part of diseases now and we have to live with it, just like we do with the flu. And of course, all the ant-vaxxers are going to feel unduly smart as if it proves anything.

On a side note, I would much rather get a few jabs and be good for a while than to have to get test after test constantly. A few jabs is less uncomfortable than multiple tests.

I don't get pissy if someone who's vaxxed says I got the vax. Great good for you pal you're an allstar, grab your photo with the vax sign, post to FB and move the hell on and shut up.

If someone doesn't get vaxxed it should be of zero concern to anyone else.

People who are vaxxed on this board seem to think they're saving the world, trust me you're not...

If your immune system can't handle a flames game then don't go. And please don't cry if someone next to you doesn't have a vax, remember you have one so you're safe...

Actually you will be the one not going.

Cool crusade though

No, you come the #### on. Your ignorance and selfishness is causing direct harm to society. My cousin is immuno-compromised and cannot get the vaccine, so the more idiots like you there are around who refuse to get it the higher the chance he gets Covid and dies. You take the douchbaggary to the next level though by trying to convince others not to get immunized by spouting lies and misinformation. You and people like you are the bottom dregs of society at this moment, I hope your feeling of smug superiority is worth the damage you're causing

But YOU can still spread it! In fact, because all the jab does is reduce your symptoms and not prevent you from getting it, you're all the more of a risk for getting people sick. The virus doesn't mutate because I merely exist. It mutates because the vaccine isn't 100% effective. In fact, its efficacy drops over time, so get ready for endless boosters for the rest of your life.

Tell me how you really feel. Would you like to go one step further in the dehumanization of those whom you don't agree with?

Has anyone here cheered or laughed at the death of anyone in the news who reportedly died after refusing the jab?

Give me a show of hands.

If the thing works, shouldn't it not matter?

You and other unvaccinated are the breeding pool for the virus and any future mutations. You're the lot that locks up hospital beds when you do inevitably contract it.

Why don't you just get a stupid little needle in your stupid fat arm then it doesn't matter, you don't have to justify anything or debate the logic of any of this and you can do anything you want?

Your next steps seem pretty obvious. Just get it done.


..Doofus.

This is not true. There is no mechanism for identifying a false report to VAERS. VAERS actively encourages reports from anyone and everyone:

Who can report to VAERS
CDC and FDA encourage anyone who experiences (or is made aware) of an adverse event after vaccination to report it to VAERS, even if they are not sure the vaccine caused the problem:

Patients
Parents/family member
Caregivers
Those who administer vaccines
Healthcare providers
Vaccine manufacturers


VAERS will only reach out to the reporting individual for additional information if “essential fields” of the VAERS form are not filled out. VAERS will not contact the reporting individual by phone for follow-up.

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/en...ortingaes.html

VAERS is a valuable data set for someone who actually knows how to work with data. If you can program in R, you could do some pretty cool stuff with the data.

The way you're using it is more-or-less the same thing as pointing to a reddit thread as evidence.

More importantly why Phil Housley for president?

Maybe Phil Mickelsen? Phil Simms? Phil’s Pancake House?

[PaperBagger'14]

I honestly can't tell if this is trolling or legit stupidity, God I hope it's trolling.

Are you talking about Fleury?

[Yoho]

I haven’t seen CP this worked up for a while.

[Jbo]

This thread has been legendary for identifying stupid people. No reason to leave CP though. Like Oiler and Canuck fans come Easter, the Pro-viruses of this thread will probably be gone.

[Bunk]

It’s blatantly clear we’re going to need trusted, verifiable proof of vaccination to do all sorts of things, access businesses, employment, events, travel. Our provincial government seems on an ideological crusade against vaccine passports. We’re going to to need to pressure them.

I hope at minimum the federal program will be the standard, and individually we’ll be able to opt in even without provincial cooperation. We own our health records.

As a vaccinated fan who fully plans on seeing flames games this year, I had no clue we had this many epidemiologists here on CP.

Yes you can still spread it - but the vaccines reduce the risk of that happening.

Theo will always be #14, that was disrespectful on your part! Theo is a person with views and opinions you may not like but he's still Theo.

Also this forum is no different than any other cross section of society were people disagree on things like covid.

You know there are some reading this thread who are nodding along, buying into this garbage, just as Housley4Prez has? Stop the ####ing rot.

Still think you're missing the point.

It's not misinformation because you say it is. Someone would have to prove that it is in fact misinformation which would get exhausting.

People have posted well over a dozen links in the last hour.

Should I read all of them and make a call? No thanks!

I haven't defended anything.

I'm pointing to the rabbit hole this creates ... even went out of my way to say the moderators may actually ban the guy.

I'm not a moderator. Never have been.
