She clearly doesn't know, understand, or even appreciate the relatively recent history of her own country. And that's exactly why views or opinions made from uninformed, uneducated or ignorant standpoints should not be tolerated. They can't differentiate between being inconvenienced and being oppressed. And that's seemingly due to being blinded by their own privilege and/or entitlement.

Klepper is a gem.

Huddy in particular. He's been here since the inaugural season, FFS.

Except nobody said any of that. Read it again. Criticism of the government is protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. However, that doesn't mean you can just mislabel public health orders as being "authoritarian, tyrannical, or fascist" or claim that any of those rights and freedoms have been stripped away without proof. Those sort of dangerously false claims by uneducated, misinformed individuals who can't see beyond themselves or their inflated entitlement are what antagonize the situation and make things worse for everyone. And it is wrong, as there is no evidence to substantiate any of it. Running to the defense of delusional and sometimes hostile "freedom fighters" who protest in front of hospitals and harass others, berate store employees and other customers, and spread bullshit online, or claiming there are statistics and expert opinions to support viewpoints that have exacerbated this public health crisis is about as bad a look as clinging to that feeble "both sides" argument. "Of course won't all agree" comes across a lame copout and that type of indifference is not helpful. Not only do you ignore the majority of what you quoted, you completely misconstrue what was actually said and then argue it nonsensically. That's not conducive to having an open mind or in the spirit of healthy, rational discussion, despite your claiming that's what you're doing in this thread. You're basically trolling. But based on your activity history of seemingly contrarian fallacy posting, that's unsurprising.

I mean, if covidiots around the world want to put this kind of garbage in their bodies, I agree with you - let 'em. And they can live with the consequences of their stupidity. I think we're running out of Darwin Awards.

And here I thought the Winnipeg Jets 1.0 franchise was moved to Arizona in order to become profitable. Half a century later and not one cent for the NHL.

Anti-vaxxers are attacking both businesses and government. The public health orders are being labelled as "authoritarian, tyrannical, fascist" by these uneducated, overly entitled narcissists who only care about themselves. The "both sides" argument is such flimsy, ridiculous, and fallacious argument (look up the the paradox of tolerance - https://academy4sc.org/video/paradox-of-tolerance-to-tolerate-or-not-to-tolerate/). There aren't two sides to this pandemic, anyway. There are those who understand science and act on it, and there are those who are simply ignorant and wrong. The latter should not be tolerated. Full stop. People who have done their due diligence and their part for the good of all are tired of those who have exacerbated this crisis with their denial, deflection, and sometimes antisocial behaviour, perpetuating the hardship for everyone. They can't even see past their own noses. So, how do you reason with people like that? And attempting to understand a person who chooses not to get vaccinated with the "medical freedom" or "my body, my choice" narrative is a futile endeavour, as there is no rational, objective, or scientific justification for either. They're often the same ones who claim, albeit erroneously, that rights and freedoms are being taken away or trampled on, but there's no evidence for that, either. "The sky is green." "The Earth is the centre of the solar system." "Vaccines cause autism." "The pandemic is a hoax." "Bill Gates murders children." "Justin Trudeau is a communist." "5G causes health problems." "The Holocaust didn't happen." "The moon landings were fake." "The Earth is flat." Facts do not support any of those arguments. Not one. And those who choose to agree with such nonsensical claims without a shred of real, hard, verifiable evidence cause irreparable harm in doing so, especially when they have influence in society and can easily spread their ignorant messages on the internet and social media to others without accountability. The world would be a much better place if people actually chose to be informed and educated, and put in the effort of understanding the world around them. Rather than fall prey to misinformation on Facebook or YouTube. There is no respectful dialogue to be had with conspiracy theorists or the willfully misinformed.

The best part about the ineptitude of that organization? They've got the worst championship win % of active teams currently in the CFL at .211 (19 appearances - 4 wins, 15 losses).

Already anointed as a franchise QB in Riderville. He'll be 30 by the time the 2022 season kicks off, so I have my doubts and I think his ceiling is well known. He's got the skillset to be an effective QB in the CFL. However, what's between his ears will continue to hinder him unless he learns to not be bothered by external factors like fan opinion on social media.

https://thenib.com/vaccines-work-here-are-the-facts-5de3d0f9ffd0/ This is damn near perfect in explaining the science and effectiveness of vaccines - in the most simple of terms.

Jets' PK currently 31st, PP 13th. The latter isn't such a concern but the former certainly is at present.

FTFY

https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/biontech-pfizer-say-test-shows-3-doses-vaccine-neutralise-omicron-2021-12-08/ Looks like there's reason to be somewhat optimistic. Starting back at square one doesn't seem like a possibility considering how many are already vaccinated. Proof of vaccination/immunology are similar documents that have been in use for decades the world over.

Those are the very people who did not study history. At all. To see anyone try and compare what's happening now to what took place during WWII and the Holocaust is just... I don't have the words.

And then there's the actual evidence of heart problems caused by the virus itself: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/heart-problems-after-covid19 Which is to say nothing of the other issues the virus can cause. Long haul COVID seems utterly hellish.

Andrew Wakefield is a prime example of that.

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/how-did-we-develop-a-covid-19-vaccine-so-quickly https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03626-1 There's pretty much all you need to know on how the world was able to fast track this vaccine. It's almost as if humans can accomplish greatness when we work together for a common goal.

The unvaccinated transmit the virus at a higher rate. If a few more boosters is what it'll take to get the world to a place where this particular strain of coronavirus becomes endemic on similar terms to the common cold, so be it. Being a member of functioning society requires being responsible and putting others ahead of oneself for the benefit of everyone. It's not like going to get a vaccine is some arduous undertaking, anyway.

Nobody ever claimed the vaccine prevents transmission of the virus or that its efficacy remains consistent depending on variant strains. The vaccine provides a layer of protection and is designed to help reduce the severity of symptoms caused by the virus.

This. You either understand proven science or you're an uninformed idiot. Then why mention it? It's a nonsensical false equivalency.

Should be a fun week ahead in the Hammer!
