I would only speculate, and am not going to bring up all the people I heard of who got a pimple on their ass after the vaccine, but would it be fair to say that the large percentage of anti-vaxxers would also be the large percentage of anti-maskers? Maybe Millbrook Ontario hospitals have nil covid patients in them but the abundance of the other hospitals cancelling all elective, non-critical, and transplant surgeries due to the huge increases in covid patients tells a different story out west. Since vaccinations became available in Alberta, 90.2 of covid cases requiring hospitalization here have been non-vaccinated or within 2 weeks of being vaccinated. That is, unless of course Alberta Health Services (along with a large number of the general public) are just making s**t up for brownie points and social media reaction. And Keith is correct. Cancer and heart disease are much more prolific killers than covid and since we have a choice with covid, I don't really want it to catch them either.
Until such time that legitimate science sources decide that vaccines and masks are not helping the situation, I'm going to ignore the nay sayers, the conspiracy theorists, the anti-mask and anti-vaccine demonstration groups, and the social media cowboys, and try my best with the recommendations offered, to do my part in reducing and hopefully eradicating this situation by wearing masks in public places and social distancing measures whenever possible (I'm already fully vaccinated since June).
That being said, I would offer up, that to free up our major hospitals for elective surgeries and transplants, and ease the burden in such hospitals, maybe the small outlying hospitals and field clinics should be earmarked for only anti-vaxxers who catch covid. And while they are at it, the Alberta Health Services workers who also refuse the vaccinations should be sent there as well to look after their own kind. JMO and now I must go and pop a couple horse tranquilizers with my bourbon to help me relax and get ready to laugh at some of the replies this may get....
