But science evolves. The studies originally said 1 in every 260000 people develop VITT from the Astrazeneca shot... real world data shows 1 on 55000... So, if the data is now showing a more robust response with a larger wait time... we can probably safely assume that it probably does. You make decisions based on the best available data at that time. Trust me... if I was given the VITT stats now (1 in 55k) instead of the 1 in 260k I may have made a different decision.... but I can only make the decision based on what is known at the time.

Fair enough- but generally, the general play seems to be cleaner.

Hence the need to vaccinate ALL countries- no one is going to be safe if we continue to allow situations like Brazil, India and Africa. The virus has a MUCH better likelihood of having beneficial (to the virus) mutations that make it more virulent, evasive and deadly if it runs rampant. It would take $50B to help get back to normalcy globally. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/21/imf-urges-50-billion-spending-commitment-to-help-end-pandemic.html KEY POINTS The IMF is calling for at least 40% of the global population to be vaccinated by the end of the year. The IMF wants $50 billion to be spent on faster vaccinations, ultimately generating returns of $9 trillion for the global economy. Only about 9.5% of the global population has received at least one dose, according to Our World in Data. The Washington-based institution said in April that the global economy is expected to grow by 6% this year.

agreed- it's the reason I only watch play off hockey. No fights, easy on the checks and all around cleaner play.

Pallister, this you? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/reality-check-pallister-1.6041376 Some good work here with fact checking the Con talking points about how we got here.

The 2022 GQP platform.

Oh hey - there we go.

Huh... maybe this is why the doctors and health experts were writing about 5 to 6 weeks ago when they wanted more action, sooner... ******* Conservatives and their **** priorities.

Good series- it was war... three games decided by 1 point- each of those points in OT. A lot closer than the result.... but still need this:

Love how cbc was showing how many times the refs were missing the penalties on the Oilers

What is goingbon ? Why are the refs calling so many ticky tack penalties?

When two beautiful things just work together...

With news that Allen Weisselberg trump org former CFO, is going to flip on trump, this might hold true:

Favourite tweet of the day:

For those who have had the AstraZeneca shot and are not sure WTH is going to happen for their second dose, here is a thread and article about what might likely happen with mixing different vaccine types (heterologous prime-boost vaccination).

Darkest timeline?

Solved.

WHoa- what's going on? A solid thread explaining why the Artic is 30.5 C

Yeah, the recent pressers kept making me think of "Hope in one hand, **** in the other- see which one fills up first." (modded quote) I wish they would have gone with "Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.". Hoping isn't really a plan.

Silly. just plain silly. No one is talking about complete success: just not having end up where we are now- the worst hotspot in all of North America. Looks like it was stalled at the provincial level more than anything. https://globalnews.ca/news/7553419/coronavirus-vaccine-canada-distribution-slow/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/canada-slow-vaccine-rollout-covid-19-1.5862358

Blame the populace, of course:

Wow- we just hit the 600 milestone. ANybody know the amount of test performed and the TPR?

Damnit, I'm not a Trudeau fan- w hy do you have to make me defend him? The Liberal government did the best they could- they multisourced vaccines from many different manufacturers. They raided COVAX (a little shameful, but needed). They are looking at building manufacturing capacity (maybe should have done this last year, but given how the disruption in supply happened this year... give them a pass on the timeline) now. The one thing I will criticize the Feds for is their lack a stringent time lines for delivery, they gave the manufacturers too much wiggle room. Mark specific weeks or even days, not "by the end of the 1st quarter... Also, I find it kind of funny that you go all "well why don't you have any better ideas- I challenge you!" for the provincial Cons, yet go all " Trudeau really screwed up the vaccine roll out in Canada and the third wave is squarely on his shoulders imo- but I am not offering any ideas" on the Liberal government. Just made me chuckle a bit.

First off, heed the warnings from the experts. If they have penned a group letter that action needs to be take - ******* do it. Have more stringent orders, don't send mix messages, like it's ok to shop for a green tea macha bamboo wisk, as long as the shops are at 33% capacity, but don't meet your family at the park if there is more than 10 of you. You can not have your parents over on the deck in your back yard, but yeah go to a patio and buy buy buy buy while sitting there with several people from several different households! You have a shortage of nurses.... you have many retired nurses that would probably work as independent contractors if you open up the purse strings and made an exemption in their pension and social security so they don't take a financial hit. Regardless- all this doesn't mean ****, I'm not the one in office nor am I running. The Cons are in power- they are the ones governing, they should be coming up with the answers not us.
