When were those clips taken? During which surge? Wild type, Alpha, Delta, Omicron?
There is a lot of cherry picked quotes here that the actual context (and factual) is left out- then reframed by bad actors in bad faith...
Seriously what am I missing here?
The dates are on the video, for every single clip.
Although it doesn't really matter which surge. The vaccine never stopped transmission. Recently they admitted that they never even tested it for transmission. Didn't stop them from making all those proclamations.
What you are missing here is the cherry picked quotes and data by bad actors in bad faith have mostly been coming from the supposed experts.
I can't imagine having as much faith in the government as all you guys seem to have.

Anyway, back to reality: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/auditor-general-pandemic-benefits-vaccines-1.6675729
Derailed = a single person presenting a differing point of view. Great politics discussion you have here. LOL.
Have a great week. Go Bombers.

Your videos are not posting here because the tweets you get them from are protected by the creators like the self-proclaimed “far-right anti-vax” John Smith, who warns us he will block anyone right off the bat if they don’t agree with his mindset, or, *gasp*, “use pronouns. So unless we follow them and muzzle any dissenting opinions we are unable to see why you want us to see.
I can’t speak for anyone else, but I’ve always been skeptical of any person who proclaims a theory but won’t let it stand up to the scrutiny of a challenge to its credibility and only targets those who have to take a “we accept this narrative” stance to be allowed to hear the theory in the first place.
That's too bad. I didn't follow that account, I found it by searching for it. Seems the account doesn't exist now. It worked for me yesterday. The first video I posted, my entire post disappeared.
Your second paragraph is truly the height of irony given what's gone on in the past year or two.
Here's the same video again. Try not to get too hung up on the accounts who post these. If you won't even take seriously the words coming right out of the mouths of the experts you claim to follow, just because the video is posted by someone you disagree with politically, you are very closed-minded.

You are obviously trolling if you are believing that the vaccine was promised to stop all transmission dead in its tracks. It never was, and the biggest reason that the pandemic spread so far and wide was that the populist provincial governments introduced measures which were late in coming and insufficient and the flat-earthers and "true believers" sabotaged the isolation and protective measures wherever they could, including threatening to kill doctors and nurses. You are on the wrong side of both science and history.
LOL. The video I posted had clips of Biden, Fauci, the head of the CDC, all saying that the vaccine stops transmission dead in its tracks.
Deleting that obvious and blatant video proof off a Blue Bomber message board doesn't make these obvious truths go away. But I guess it does help you to continue to live in your weird left-wing echo chamber here?
Here's another one in case someone stumbles on here who wants to be reminded about how we were knowingly lied to about the covid vaccines.

You're right about one thing though, covidiots like me aren't the biggest victims here. At least not the ones that haven't lost their jobs or had their lives ruined in other ways. I'm fine. I haven't spent 2.5 years of my life wallowing in fear and hatred of my fellow citizens because of a bunch of cynical politicians and ass-covering doctors.
Does anyone know where my post with the video of all the politicians and health experts promising that the vaccine stopped transmission went? Did it get deleted for some reason? Or am I too dumb to see it on here.

Vaccines create a higher level of immunity in a population, which does help to contain spread, especially with a high uptake
Unvaccinated people who get really sick have a heavy viral load, thus they spread the virus more
Contained not stopped
That's how they're supposed to work. These ones didn't. Even if they did on some level, everyone got covid last winter anyways. I doubt it was the 15% unvaccinated spreading it everywhere when we weren't allowed to go anywhere.
1 minute ago, Wanna-B-Fanboy said:It did no such thing. I even made a comment when this whole free-dumb convoy started. It was perplexing that they were protesting mandades that were going to soon expire... I knew that the convoy supporters would sieve on that as some sort of victory. Like I said, it's like protesting the dark and demanding the sun to be released...
Well i'll agree to disagree with you on that one. The provincial governments in manitoba and ontario especially were doing a great job of slow-walking any restriction easing right from the beginning of covid. As someone who was banned from all sorts of places last winter I was paying pretty close attention to what the government was saying, and they did not sound like they were eager at all to drop the vaccine passports.

Nope. What we were told was that vaccines (in combination with other measures such as masks and distancing) would HELP REDUCE TRANSMISSION and would HELP REDUCE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES (ie Death, being very very sick) which is exactly what they did.
Listen, I'm a big fan of listening to people who are really smart....went to school for a decade and study these things their entire professional lives...... why would we not listen to them? My barber said to me "what would you like done?" and I said "You're the professional... I wouldn't tell my mechanic how to fix my truck and I'm not gonna tell you how to do your job. Just clean me up so I'm presentable". All I'm saying is: Listen to the professionals...the experts. When 99% of experts/professionals agree on something, they're probably right.
Holy crap, no that is not what we were told. Watch that clip, it's clear what they were saying.
And what if it's not 99%, and probably isn't "every single time". Our medical experts have a great history of getting things wrong sometimes too. Just look back at the ridiculous in hindsight fear mongering from Fauci on AIDS back in the day. These people aren't gods.
Besides, we don't even need to argue about what the experts say. The vaccines have been out for a long time, and they've failed for the most part.

Correct. And it begs the question - what was the point of the convoy?
The government has finally done what they asked - but unvaxxed truckers still can't cross the border
Which is exactly what the government was saying all along
I agree with protests, but this one was pointless, and I might add, costly to the livelihoods of other Canadians
I would add that the mandates and lockdowns were far more costly to the livelihoods of Canadians.
I don't think I've ever seen the government claiming they had to shut down the protest because it was pointless.
And even if I agreed (I don't), I don't think that meets the justification for enacting the EA.
I will say this on the convoy - it gave a voice and hope to a lot of people who did not feel like they were being heard at all. Not by any of the provincial governments, certainly not the liberal govt, not the media, and not even the federal conservatives. It led directly to a bunch of provincial mandates and vaccine passports being dropped, whether you want to believe it or not. And if nothing else, at least it led to removal of O'Toole as leader of the opposition so now we have at least some semblance of support for the rights of the unvaccinated in Ottawa.

Were they talking about the wild version, alpha, delta or omicron- all of that is pretty important.
I am not a fan of the cherry picked data being used to further the misinformation and ignorance...
It's not cherry picked data - it's a reminder that all those experts assured us that the vaccine would stop transmission. And it did not. And later it turned out the CDC didn't even do any research at the time on if that was true. And had no evidence that it would.
And just for the record, Roussin and Joss Reimer here in Manitoba were claiming the vaccines stopped the spread for a while even after other countries were admitting that it didn't.

The covidiots in the convoy were the biggest group of hateful people... between the white supremacist neo-nazis with their swastika flags and the F*ck Trudeau flag bearers, let alone whatever other groups were in there...
Getting a vaccine is not living in fear, it's using well established science to help reduce the effects of a deadly virus.
Wearing a mask is not living in fear, it's being courteous to your fellow citizens to protect each other from whatever sickness you may be carrying around... there was a reason why seasonal flu cases were down severely in the fall of 2020, because enough people were wearing masks and properly washing their hands.
As for personal experience, I have a good friend who got Covid before the vaccines were available and although he didn't have to go to the hospital, he tells me that he felt like he was going to die. 2 years later, he got it again after having been vaccinated and he said that it was a night and day difference between the two.
Yeah, that one Nazi flag was troubling. Good thing he was confronted by other protesters and left quickly. Did anyone ever see it again after that one day?
I wouldn't fly a F*ck Trudeau flag either. But somehow I doubt anyone on here was upset about all the F*ck Trump stuff we saw for 4+ years from normal people, celebrities, etc. So let's just avoid that double standard. I could probably go back on this thread and see just as bad stuff directed to our current premier.
Anyways, you said no one ever said the vaccine stopped transmission. Did you watch that video I posted?

Not to mention the racist, misogynist, threatening statements by the Freedumb protesters, and the accumulated firearms and plans to kill police and others that happened at the Coutts, Alberta incident.
From what I understand the coutts firearms seizures ended up having nothing to do with the blockade. It was some other people in the neighbouring town or something.
I'd like to read some evidence of all these racist, misogynist, threatening statements. Is it worse than being told you should die or have your children taken away? A lot of horrible things have been said in the past year or two. Someone on here keeps calling me braindead, a covidiot, and to **** off. Ha.
21 minutes ago, Mark H. said:Yes, but the Americans haven't lifted theirs yet - you still can't cross the border from Canada - if you're unvaxxed
I know someone who tried - literally two days ago
I guess they better get some trucks down there
That would be an issue for the Americans to protest over. I'm sure they'd get a lot of support from a lot of Canadians. But with the Canadian restrictions dropped, there's nothing to gain for any Americans now. It's only non-citizens who need to be vaccinated to drive across.
I don't think anyone expected the US to hold on to their border restrictions this long. At least on that we can probably all agree.

I still don't understand the freedumb convoy, I mean protesting the end mandates that are expiring in month was pretty ******* stupid...
I dont like the dark! Let's protest tonight until they let the sun up!
"Yeah! Take that you ******* dictator!"
So dumb...
As far as I know there were no mandates scheduled to expire at that time. Do you mean the provincial stuff? There were some vague comments that the mandates weren't permanent, but there was no real indication that they were going to let up any time soon.
And the federal mandates that kicked the whole thing off didn't get lifted until a month or two ago I think?

It doesn't matter to me whether or not you agree. I am referring to what we experienced in our community. Unvaccinated people got very, very sick. And yes, it was new vaccine and it waned over time. But it still did a lot of good.
Thanks for the answer. I'm glad to hear it helped. The numbers I've seen don't bear that out that it did a "lot" of good, but I'm happy to be wrong in at least your case. In my circles I didn't notice any difference. I know very few people, vaccinated or not, that got very very sick from covid. This winter, and even later last winter, I'd say the people I know are vaccinated tend to be getting sicker than the unvaccinated. But the unvaccinated I know tend to be younger anyways. Which I'm pretty sure has a far bigger effect on things than the vaccines ever did.

And if you want to talk about the convoy specifically, no one in this hearing has been able to actually name any instance of violence that happened, other than from the cops breaking it up after the EA was enacted. Nothing illegal either, other than parking violations.
No shortage of smears and flat out lies from the mainstream media though.42 minutes ago, Noeller said:

Based on first hand experience, particularly with the delta variant, there was a vast, vast difference between being vaccinated vs. unvaccinated
Not sure what you mean by first hand experience. I would disagree on "vast" as well. Any benefit of the vaccines didn't last very long (hence all the boosters).
And it's been well established that it did nothing to actually stop transmission. Making the mandates completely pointless (and I would argue, immoral). And if I knew this already last winter, I guarantee you the federal and provincial governments knew.

Serious question: what exactly do you think the covidiots have been wrong about so far?

Really enjoying the great takes here on the convoy "lawyers". So dumb, unprofessional etc. Just like the convoy right?
Meanwhile you all have how many shots of this vaccine that everyone knows doesn't do a single thing to stop the spread. Just like everyone in that convoy knew last February.
You guys are all hilariously smug and condescending, meanwhile us "flat earth anti-vaxxers" have been proven right about literally everything to do with covid so far. And it wasn't even that hard - all you have to do is use some common sense and not buy in to the ridiculous fear-mongering.

I think some of you are a bit naive about how few Canadians would be on CFL teams if there were no ratio.
Without the ratio Andrew Harris almost certainly never would have gotten a sniff. Probably the same for Demski, and pretty much any non-NCAA player.
The biggest Canadian stars of the last 20 years would probably have been Jesse Lumsden and some offensive linemen.
-
The housing thing seems ridiculous to me. They get plenty of free agents in Toronto, since that's the only Canadian city a lot of these Americans have ever heard of. Not to mention the CFL phenomenon of players wanting to sign with their hometown teams. That would be an advantage for Toronto and Montreal I'd guess.
I mean, the reasons that housing is so much more in Toronto and BC are the same reasons they can attract free agents.
But it is the CFL, so they'll probably just randomly gift the Argos a couple free draft picks 3 days before the draft again just because.

I'm pretty surprised at all the CFL players and media guys from other cities taking shots at Harris. Surprised mostly at the players... you don't see a lot of that in other sports.
Can you imagine Crosby tweeting out shots at Kuznetsov, laughing at him? To me, things like that make the CFL look more minor league than anything. I mean, Jordan Reaves, really.... Just when the Rider fans have something to lord over the Bombers, he basically stands up and shouts to the world "DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME, I GOT CAUGHT SELLING COKE!".

Pisses me off that we had such a loser promoting this game.
Has anyone commented on how hilarious it is that the Packers pulled ALL their starters because of that tiny bump a couple yards from the back of the end zone - If you think about it with common sense for a moment, there is a like a 0% change that virtually any player who is not a receiver or DB is going to find themself on that piece of the field in a game.
And they just scrapped kickoffs completely! Any kick that goes that far into the end zone is going to be a touchback anyways. And if the returner wants to run it out, he's not going to be cutting and dodging tacklers 8 yards deep in the end zone.
So the only redeeming thing about the whole pointless game - that Packer fans get to see Aaron Rodgers and whoever else they have who is good - was scrapped because NFL coaches are paranoid, insane, control freaks. As bad as the whole production is, I don't think we should let the NFL team management off the hook either.

I mean it doesn't... a lot of it just proves my point, and some of it's based on highly suspect research.
But anyways, the amount of hate you guys are spewing towards me over this is telling too. Freedumb, Flutraxclan, being called an idiot in all sorts of new ways. I came on here originally to comment on the trucker convoys. The attitude by you guys just proves why it was needed. It's disgraceful, and you all think you're the good guys.
