And then just a couple days later, Ford prorogued the legislature, ostensibly due to the federal election. A chickenshit move, IMHO. We don’t need an absent legislature while in a time of crisis.

Yes the threat of not being able to travel anywhere and threat of losing your job if you don't get the vaccination seems to have changed a few minds.

I also imagine that there are certain percentage of procrastinators and otherwise apathetic people that now have a reason to go get the shot.

Decisions. Decisions.

Horse paste or 100 bucks?

What do you do when a few middle school kids refuse to wear masks?

You call the police. Sarcasm emoji in case it was not obvious.

First they said masks won't protect you, then it was the vaccine won't really protect you. Now they expect me to believe a vaccine passport will protect me? Don't want to wear a mask? Don't wear one. Don't want to be vaccinated. Don't get jabbed. Don't want a vaccine passport. Don't get one. Everybody has got a choice. Personally, I'm not going for the passport. None of the places requiring it, hold a lot of attraction for me anyway. If I want a restaurant meal, I'll order it to my door. Any place that demands a passport of me loses my business. Sharing my medical and personal information with every Tom, Dick and Harriet is not my idea of privacy. If I was going to use one, I'd want to see the same from the cook making my meal, the bartender making my drink and the server bringing both to my table. If the owner won't take my word as being vaccinated, I don't have to take his that his workers are OK. Trust is a two way street. Just more divisiveness from the trudeau liberals.

It’s being imposed by the Ford Conservatives for the things you’re describing.

Yup - while saying the Trudeau Liberals should've done it.

With Ontario set to roll out its vaccine passport program later this month, many are asking what exactly constitutes a medical exemption. These are the two reasons for a medical exemption.

Whoever Joe Rogan is. Although the title seems to focus on Ivermectin as his savior, he says he also took:

" . . . monoclonal antibodies, ivermectin, Z-pac, prednisone, everything . . ."

He must have quite a medicine cabinet. Monoclonal antibodies have emergency approval from the US from the FDA for treating Covid-19. My sister-in-law is on Prednizone - that stuff messes up your system.

I kinda lean to not getting Covid in the first place.

Hes also in his early 50s. He had a 90+% chance of not needing even a doctors visit. He just covered all his bases.

Joe Rogan is an anti vaxxer. Like Jenny Mcarthy and other celebrities that the uninformed take as gospel. Because “reasons”. Apparently people who need invermectin for what it was actually intended are having a hard time due to shortages. Lovely.

GR66, unvaccinated, contracted COVID-19. Took nothing. Self isolated for two weeks and worked from home without missing an hour of work throughout. Both singular examples are equally useless in determining the effectiveness of Ivermectin in treating COVID-19

Joe Rogan is someone who can afford top medical attention.
But you guys can keep picking apart Joe and ignore India.
As for your last comment, I like having more than one tool in the tool box and not betting it all on one horse.

Classy...

Welsh teen in hospital with Covid targeted online by anti-vaxxers​

A 17-year-old in hospital with coronavirus has said she has been targeted by anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists on social media after urging young people to have the vaccine.

Maisy Evans said she has been accused of being a “liar” and an “actress paid by the government” by online trolls.

The teenager has had symptoms including dizziness, shortness of breath, headaches, a loss of smell and taste, as well as suffering a Covid-related blood clot on her lung. She tested positive for the virus on 14 August, three days after having her first Pfizer jab.

However, doctors have insisted her illness and her blood clot are unrelated to the vaccine.

Evans, from Newport, south Wales, told Sky News: “I’ve had to deal with a lot of anti-vaxxers and conspiracy theorists which is deeply frustrating.

“I’ve been called a liar, an actress paid by the government to push certain agendas, Satan, a Nazi, evil, and so many more things.

“It’s totally uncalled for.”

Evans was admitted to hospital on 25 August and after undergoing numerous blood tests, X-rays and CT scans, a Covid-related blood clot was discovered on her right lung.

The former member of the Welsh youth parliament is being treated at the Grange university hospital in Cwmbran.

We ignored India because what you posted added absolutely nothing to your argument other than India lowering the price on a whole bunch of drugs. River parasites are quite common in India. So I can see why they included it as part of their review (something that happens periodically).

As for betting on one horse, that comment has so much irony in it when we speak of invermectin…lol.
