I appreciate the use of scare quotes that cast doubt on whether it was actually a vaccine. Reminds me how “smart” Yoho is and how he does his own “research” and how he’s so “respected” in his day to day life he chooses to spend time online getting laughed at because it’s actual attention.

You have little sympathy for them because the tv told you to take it and if you have to take it everyone else does, therefore they deserve every bit of retribution they get.

This is the kind of absolute ignorance that makes me furious. Clearly stupid and gullible people trying to claim they're the ones who figured it out. All the people who do this for a living can't possibly understand what you saw on YouTube. Jesus.

From the DM’s…

We’re told that some UCP MLA’s are starting to realize just how severe things the situation is and are currently attempting to organize an emergency caucus meeting of their own.

Without Smith.

Sounds good keep up with your boosters, and if it doesn’t stop transmission what was the justification for ostracizing the unvaxed again genius?

Stop? Or reduce?

[Ozy_Flame]

If anyone who hesitated on the vaccine even remotely entertained being educated by experts in the healthcare, virology and biology fields on the actual science on mRNA-based vaccines for COVID, they would know the primary purpose is not to reduce transmission (although the science shows it does have a small improvement).

It was - and always has been - designed to minimize serious effects, with the additional benefit of higher chances of not having to be hospitalized or use the healthcare system, which was disproportionally bogged down with people who didn't take the vaccine (as we saw during early days with no vaccine at all).

That people are still waxing seriously misinformed garbage about this and continuing to pump anti-vax conspiracies that have absolutely no root in reality is just astounding to me.

The vaccine is a modern miracle.

Taking up hospital beds unnecessarily. Literally the message from day 1.

It must be kind of nice to live in a fantasy world such as this. Just pretending you know everything, agreeing with any idea on its face if your friends also like it…. Man. Must be blissful.

Ah. You deal in absolutes. If it isn’t 100% then it is 0. Gotcha.

Because snowflakes deserve to be ostracized.

Is this actually true? Seems like this account has all kinds of rumours and such, but nothing of any substance?

Danielle Smith thinks the CBC is lying becuase she has zero media literacy. Like, she actually thinks the Rebel and WS are legitimate, truthful news organizations. She's inseparable from their misinformation becuase she participated in the very act of it. Yet she lashes out at legitimate news organizations that have principles and standards? And morons somehow think she is right? It's gotta be embarrassing to be that stupid, right?

Sadly, from what I can tell these days stupid people appear (if anything) to be extremely proud of their own lack of intelligence and critical thinking skills.

Nothing gets the woke right up out of bed in the morning better than a progressive leftie promoting education on a language they don't speak.

It is true, the seeds of this have been happening for a long time already (I have alluded to it at least 3 times in this thread over the last two weeks.)

1. She is having immense trouble keeping the looneys in line. Whatever moderates are left are now panicking because they feel shut out
2. Between wild spending and softening oil prices, the much vaunted surplus is now gone. This has pissed off the looneys and kicked them into a frenzy.
3. The moderates have given her benefit of the doubt long enough now and are starting to see the support they had left within their ridings degrade- it's hard to defend this obstruction story, and her waffling on the story makes her look extremely untrustworthy.

Internal polling is far worse than public polling.
