    Yes there have been thousands worldwide out of the millions and millions of vaccines administered so a very very minimal chance of injury or death.Probably a better chance of being struck by lightning then injury or death from a vaccine.

    I don't know where I caught my number, but apparently a similar situation in Manitoba. In Manitoba there were 75 ICUs available before Covid.

    The vaccine does not stop the spread of the virus. The virus will mutate whether the people are vaccinated or not.

    The vaccine reduces the severity of infection if you get it and reduces the length of time you are infectious which means you will spread your germs less. The longer a person is sick with the virus the better the chance of mutation so vaccine will fight that too.

    Get vaccinated or not I don’t care. Fat people eat to much and smokers are at higher risks for cancer and heart disease etc…. I guy I used to work with said his company doesn’t require the vaccine. I asked him how many drivers they can hire on. He said one empty truck. I know at least a dozen guys who said I’ll quit before I get the vaccine. Told them to do it now. There will only be so many good jobs at small companies.
