[QUOTE="Nik, post: 257457, member: 1"] Guys this is straw man (whatabout-ism) arguing at its finest. You keep changing the subject. Folks in ICU COVID wards are there because of COVID. Period. Is there an obesity problem, for sure. Is there a free and easy to administer (vaccine) for obesity? Let me know. Obesity is definitely an epidemic in North America but I can't catch it and possibly go on a ventilator in 2 days by standing next to you. Guess where there isn't an obesity problem and 450k people (closer to 4M if you believe under reporting) have died recently from Covid, India. Smoking? We banned that indoors what a couple of decades ago and guess what I can avoid smokers very easily. But again we're here to argue the response to a pandemic not lifestyle choices. I get the hesitancy, no doubt many (myself included) were hesitant to get jabbed with something that was rushed to market but this is an existential problem that stalled the world not a seasonal disease that can be managed. If you don't want to get with the times then the least we can do is avoid propagating unfounded arguments and tabloid worthy conspiracy theories. I heard that AB today added Hospitals to Bill 1 for critical infrastructure to prevent protesters from blocking ambulances. Blocking emerg vehicles for your anti restriction protest .... I shake my head if that actually went down. [/QUOTE]
