Unfortunately the anti vaxxers, including Mennonite groups in ON have really pushed these numbers up. Over 60 people including children have been hospitalized. None of us need masks infection and the inflammation that brings. Wish these people would just read the science.
At what point in an outbreak do you think people born near the VAX cutoff say 1969 should consider getting vaccinated? Considering places like the US put that cutoff at 1957 as opposed to 1970.
I’m curious—is the evidence that 2 doses confers lifelong immunity based on antibody titer tests, or epidemiology data showing low rates of infection among those who received 2 doses? In other words, is lifelong immunity an artifact of herd immunity (i.e., >95% of the population being vaccinated)?
Vaccinations don’t make me bulletproof, nothing does, but my likelihood of effective protection and surviving infections unscathed is immense. It’s an easy choice for me
Hmmmm. It does look like MMR vaccine works. Maybe somebody tell Prem Ford and Prem Smith.
Of course in the 1950s, we were marched into the gym and given Salk vaccine, BCG, smallpox. There were no vaccines for MMR or chickenpox. We had to suffer if we got infected. And we did. It's avoidable now.
Time for the Medical Officer of Health to do his job. I know it's not popular but mandatory vaccinations need to happen. To all those thinking that's too heavy handed. I am old enough to have seen the effects of polio, measles, scarlet fever and other preventable diseases first. It's no effing joke
So why on earth is the provincial government silent about this and not embarking on a massive vaccination campaign?Where is our CMOH?? What the hell is his job? He gets paid enough - yet he does NOTHING. Replace him with a bag of mouldy potatoes and there would be no change in public health.
The minimizing of the effects of COVID are going to haunt us for a long time. Hard to believe with perhaps the greatest access to information in history, we became stupider!
Not to mention the fact that Covid weakened a lot of people's immune systems and generally wrecked havoc (I have permanent Lung, Heart, and Brain damage from it)
who was handing out bad batches in the late 1980's and 1990s ? Where this group of 2 doses people getting the real thing or a RFK dose of water substitute ?

CDC data is lacking breakout of >20 age range.
