How many of you OTR cross border guys will actually quit because of the mandates?

    Therapeutic vaccines are given after you are sick like monoclonal antibodies.

    Either way. It's not a true vaccine. A true vax prevents you from getting a virus in the first place., which this fake vax doesn't do.

    P
    It works for most people and it wasnt made for the current variant so it doesnt work quite as well but it is a vaccine that stimulates your immune system.

    It doesn't contain dead virus like the others..It's a therapy to stimulate your cells to respond to spike proteins. All the others were developed over several years...this was not. There is plenty of literature out there on it. I am not an antivaxxer. I just got my flu shot
    This shot ( therapy) is a whole different animal.

    Its been around for 20yrs, not a big deal. They use similar stuff for other viruses, its the future.

    Our local hospital plugged up as we are taking in maggots from other provinces who refuse to get vaccinated. I say let them drown in their own snot and phlegm

    You do realize that the vaccinated are being hospitalized, too. Right? Unlike normal vaccines that give you a close to 100% immunity. This one gives you a coin flip.

    So should you be labeled a "maggot?" If you get hospitalized, too.

    In our area the majority of vaxxed hospital patients in hospital are 60+, with the majority of those being 70+. Most of those have other issues and would be in the hospital if they had any issues such as a flu.
    Both sides of this vaxx or not debate are misrepresenting this data to justify the argument.
    The foolish name calling back and forth is showcasing what is going wrong with society.
    I'm vaxxed, my choice. Facts are yhe vid has a greater then 99.xxx survival rate for the cases that are reported, and up to 60% of infections are completely asymptomatic, and are never reported. There is no way to avoid this. If the vaxx helps me fight it with my personal heath issues, great. My choice. I don't think this should be pushed on others who are opposed.
    The issue I have is the chronic under funding and staffing of our heath care system.
    This was an issue before the vid. I've have not been in a hospital in the last 20 years that wasn't full, stressed, full of nurses working overtime and resident doctors that are run ragged.
    Maybe if we looked at how our heath system is run, staff it appropriately it could handle these surges.
    When my wife was giving birth 20 years ago we were sent to one of 2 floors in the hospital, that was completely unused and not staffed to walk. Yet emergency was spilling into the halls because there was no beds.
    In our area upwards of 10k surgeries have been cancelled, basic care is a mess due to vid.
    That's the real tragedy here.
