I can't believe any province in Canada charged money for the flu vaccine. That's such poor public health policy.

Why are the federal and provincial gov'ts not releasing data on deaths and why are they not tracking whether those admitted to hospital were vaxxed or unvaxxed?

We are being hit hard because we suppressed our immune system by wearing masks for too long and bubbling up away from society. The human body has a beautiful immune system that is meant to do its job day in and day out. Fear prevailed but now its time to think for ourselves. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why we are feeling the aftermath at this point. I wish people would be patient and remember what we went through and understand that the body needs time to bounce back and it will. In the meantime be smart, practice care with what you digest from the media and mainstream silliness, and above all else stop living in fear of life and perpetuating weakness, mind body and soul. Start living and love being in the human body- it doesn't last long.

There is not proper food in the world. Nor are the same Food & Drug Safety Regulations being enforced. There are many many reasons for sickness. Too much time indoors so on and so forth.

Thank you so much for this very important medical advice. I’m retired. Other than my home, the only other building I enter is my grocery store. I wear a mask whenever I’m inside a building other than my home, or if I’m within two meters of someone while I’m outside. Peace, Calvin.

@@sessions9869 That's a funny question to ask. I'm not scared at all. I feel perfectly safe because I wear a mask in public and avoid congregating indoors. I'm following the recommendations of experts, you know, the scientists and doctors. Just like I feel safe with the brakes in my car after I get them repaired by a licensed auto mechanic, an expert at auto repairs. Do you not take the advice of experts? You're funny. Have a great day and try to stay positive, and safe. Peace, Calvin.

My RN says that cases of influenza were lower in the past two years (her hubby is a respirologist). She also said RSV cases were really low for the last couple of years. Hence kids' hospital icus being chock full this year
The past actions destroyed kids immunity

Yes except CBC seems notorious for blocking comments on specifically Covid related news videos. I just was watching the video on the Covid cases in China surging due to lockdowns ending there and all comments were blocked for that video. Makes you wonder why they don’t want people watching it and thinking critically? 🤔
