    I think a lot of people actually want the pandemic to continue. That's what it feels like when they say "no masks, no vax, no distancing, no closures." I think they like being angry and this helps them feel victimized. So saying "get vaccinated to help end the pandemic" isn't really going to resonate.

    Well, it does provide a target to rail against. I agree that many people like being angry - it's energizing and it feels like it gives a purpose. If it was really just about not believing that there's a pandemic or that people need to take precautions, then they would just go about their lives and ignore those who are acting otherwise, so clearly all of this time spent arguing and posting is about something else. 
    I don't know. I think it is a continuation of the "pettiness" that is in the right wing/GOP today.  I mean they are small.  What did they focus on this week?  Two new lies:
    1. That Biden is going to limit hamburger consumption to 4lbs per year.  Seriously.
    2. That Harris was putting a copy of her book into a "welcome packet" at the border.  

    It's just lies, all lies, all the time.  Petty, small, and these memes, posts and nonsense are in the same category.

    Yeah let's not do anything that might bring harm to the 60%+ of Americans who are overweight or morbidly obese.

    Well, that explains a lot. But I would have thought that the God Squaders there would have had the name changed to "Heavenly Way"  or "Route 10C" by now. No wonder there's so much sinning in Flo Rida.

    CDC - "If you've been fully vaccinated: You can gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without wearing a mask or staying 6 feet apart."  ( Link - https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html )

    Whining.  We finally have leaders that want to set an example for the nation.   So what if they don’t have to wear masks?  They have the freedom to wear masks if they want to. Or are you saying we don’t have the freedom to wear a mask?  
    Everyone who wants to wear a mask can absolutely wear a mask.  That's great.  But these are the same people telling me daily to get the vaccine so life can go back to normal, without life going back to normal.  Is that not an anti-vaxx message they are sending?

    How do you think this picture gets through to the "anti-mask/ant-vaxx" crowd?  
    I personally don’t give a fuck if you wear one or if you get the vaccine or get your kids vaccinated so let’s just get the clear , I take every precaution because I want too!

    Starting May 3rd all educational workers are vaccine eligible.  I will call 📞 May 3 and get an appointment.  It takes 14 days after shot before some immunity?

    May 24 th everyone over 18 is eligible for the vaccine in Ontario.  I believe BC as well.  Manitoba truckers and education workers can be vaccinated in North Dakota?  Not sure how education workers get vaccinated in North Dakota with border closed?  Looks like good news all around.
    If you get Pfizer, the US authorized exporting Canada doses yesterday from Michigan (which were cut January). This vaccine will no longer be imported from Belgium.

    It's good news, as it leaves us less vulnerable to any further restrictions the EU might try to put on export.

    At least Europe honored distribution in the first quarter. When kids and variant doses start, I'd rather depend on Europe.

    our premier is a laughingstock. many here (including myself) are of the opinion that front line workers should be prioritized, especially those in child care and the education system. my premier's solution? telling the teachers to go to North Dakota to get vaccinated. 

    and then the North Dakota health spokesperson says they have no idea what Pallister is talking about. 

    this idiot also thinks it's great that teachers have to shell out their own money to buy school supplies for their students.
