    I'm way too preoccupied to find the source, but I think I heard on TV the other day that new infections are down 26% ????

    Evidence that the vaccinations are working???
    No that proves that masks and social distancing promote infection transfer.  Doi. 
    I hope you're just being silly, mrussel1. Lol

    Data suggests that a certain percentage of vaccine hesitant people would be swayed by a financial incentive or the opportunity to relax some restrictions, such as masks. 

    Kind of sad. Hey, if you want to stop wearing masks, do your part and get vaccinated. Maybe if enough people do it we can put masks behind us.
    But if we get rid of masks, what do I do with my cape?

    What is the current status in Canada?  Are they really “that” locked down where you will get pulled over by the authorities if you are out and about as mentioned in the video?

    That’s a good point on people that can’t be vaccinated for a medical reason. What are some of the medical reasons that would prevent someone from getting it?
    people allergic to its ingredients, people on blood thinners, there are more. 
    No, not true except for those with allergies to the components, but that can potentially be overcome by people choosing a different type of vaccine. A pretty small number of people are allergic to PEG, for instance, which is one of the components of the mRNA vaccines, but if you are then it should be okay to use AZ or Janssen. 

    People on all sorts of blood thinners and people with clotting disorders can still get vaccinated. They should let the person doing the vaccination know but it's not a contraindication.

    I can't find any other contraindications. There are some conditions for which we don't have much, if any, data, so some care providers are being cautious, but nothing else is an absolute contraindication that I'm aware of. 
    My mom on a blood thinner got vaccinated. We told the nurse, she said okay we'll apply more pressure, there was zero bleeding or bruising from both shots. 
    Yes. The recommendation for IM injections for those on anticoagulation and most of the clotting disorders is firm pressure at the injection site for 5+ minutes and then monitor for bleeding or bruising.

    Lol, I was going to say!  That was the first time I had heard that.  I don’t really keep up with Rogan or his antics, but he seems like he is loved/hated by many.

    Listening to NPR this morning and the second wave in India.  I forget who was speaking but this is what they said.

    1-We celebrated too early and lifted restrictions.
    2-India has done a poor job at limiting mass gatherings.
    3-Despite being the leader in vaccine development they are falling short in distribution.

    If u want a link I am sure I can find one.

    i don't know what's going on in Ontario, but here it's business as usual, minus indoor private gatherings. which I really don't give two fucks about. I know a lot of people do, and it's important for many who live alone, and there are exemptions for that. 

    there are also restrictions on gatherings on private property, yet you can go to an outdoor patio to eat with a max of 3 people you don't live with, and people are freaking out saying how that doesn't make sense. it does, if you think about it. outdoor private gatherings, ALWAYS, without fail, end up having some type of indoor component to it; going to the washroom, grabbing a drink, and oh, hey, you're in here too, let's catch up away from the group for two minutes, it's fine, oh, shit, it's raining/cold/etc, let's go in, we'll be ok, sharing food, etc. patio gatherings are a way to keep small businesses and the economy moving in a controlled setting.

    India  has the  added problem of people living hand to mouth.  If they dont go out and get money they  will not eat. That is in a nutshell why they  cant lockdown. People will starve to death. Its a lose -lose . So very upsetting  as a father  if your kids are starving  you  go get money/food

    What's everyones feeling on vaccinations for 12-16 year olds?  A hard no?  Wait awhile?  Sign up now?

    My ex is a nurse practitioner and wants to get our 12 year old son vaccinated right away, I'm opting to wait a few months just to see how it goes.  
    Very concerned on this one. I have a 15 year old who is probably one of the healthiest kids I know. Antibiotics 1 time in her life. Never sick always active and eats healthy as can be. She wants it….would like to hold off for her. The peer pressure on these kids is going to be crushing….

    I'm worried like both of you for my kid when her age group gets emergency authorization. 

    We will get to them for sure to make up for adult hesitancy and that doesn't sit right with me.

    I will be pressured with fear mongering and travel pass as the money and 'you get to go to concerts' incentives don't work for me.

    I agree news is already saying do it for your family or you'll kill them, more or less.

    You'll kill them?  The virus doesn't kill everybody, that is a proven fact already.  If that's not fear mongering.

    Do you have an article or link about this?

    Children are stressed to go to school and bring the disease home. Messages of them not getting ill, but having high viral loads and spreading disease are out there in cnn articles like 10 reasons why the young should vaccinate. I expect this pressure on young adults to extent to children: vaccinate so they don't spread. Google cnn kids stress covid.

    I feel this is a no-brainer. Spread it-kill people potato potatto.
