While Canadians raced to get vaccinated against COVID-19 early in the pandemic, only 15 per cent of the population had their updated shot this fall. But the virus is still spreading.

What would you say to someone who has no concerns about getting sick as all of humanity will forever get sick in the future, some will die, some will live, but life will always continue on regardless of a 100% guarantee of death for every new creation that is born? Every life will end, but life itself will never stop and will never end.

Got mine in October, along with the regular flu shot. I haven’t gotten anything yet.

Not surprised when the government tried to pretend that COVID isn’t a problem anymore

No just that. Even stores did away with measures to protect their staff and shoppers: removing clear plexiglass at cash registers, getting rid of hand sanitizer, removing social distancing markers on the floor, etc.

Because the government isn’t madating anything anymore. They’re all just pretending like it doesn’t exist anymore

But stores already had these things in place, and the original investment/cost was already spent.

Removing those safeguards seems to have been done out of spite. And to whose benefit? It just creates additional strain on employees, who will get sick more often.

It’s sooooo frustrating that we’re in the tail end of a global pandemic and people still don’t understand how community immunity works.

End of the pandemic. Which in this case means we have an effective vaccine, and as long as people get the damn thing COVID seems to stop killing people at such a high rate.
