It's an extremely low prevalence of serious illness in people under 40 who are in good health. Yes you can handpick isolated cases of death/illness in younger demographic but the occurence of this is very unlikely. Italy? It's undisputed that different countries, areas, cultures, cities are impacted very differently in terms of spread, illness and infection fatality rates. Not comparing apples to apples. We live in Canada last time I checked? We don't have the same population density or cultural practices as Italy last time I checked? Should we be basing management decisons based on what goes on in Africa? Italy? Honduras? Or should be have management policy based on our unique country, density, etc.. I'm not saying the government has some plan or some conspiracy. I'm saying they have a history of mismanagement in most of their endeavors. Our ICU's prior to Covid often operated above 100% capacity. This is not debatable. Our public medical system is far from perfect, there are huge gaps in personnel, quality doctors, surgeons, bureaucratic inefficiences. This is not debatable. Where have I said that I am antivax anywhere? I'm not - I myself have the vaccine. The question is at what age does the vaccine become irrelevant? There's an intersection of benefit and risk at a certain age. Would you give blood pressure medicine to an 8 year old even if they didn't have any discernible risk? Kids are simply not impacted by Covid in any statistically relevant way. They are more at risk from a flu infection and they don't mandate that vaccine!
In regards to the Ortho above - how many of the patients in your hospital suffering from Covid 19 are morbidly obese, have type 2 Diabetes, or history of smoking? Maybe we should paint the entire picture if you're willing to divulge. Would they have lesser symptoms if they were more equipped to deal with all that life throws at them? If they were clogging 'pardon the pun' up ICU's due to cardiac arrests and stroke would that be more acceptable? I would imagine the prevalence of death would be much lower if the ELEPHANTS in the room lived a healthier lifestyle. Did they not know that being overweight increases your risk of death from all causes? I believe this includes respiratory virus. If the powers that be are so concerned about hospitals being overwhelmed maybe they should have mandated exercise and healthy lifestyles during the last 1.5 years. Could you imagine the blowback if they did that! Exercise passport- it's for your own good and the good of the healthcare system! Until you're under a certain BMI you can't participate in elective events, movies, sporting events concerts etc! Caliper testing at the gate to determine body fat percentage! Definitley no fast food! You can't allocate resources to only one health crisis and completely ignore the other! Or I guess you can, because that is what the people want.
What they are doing with the vaccine passport is a coercive tactic. It's divisive and terrible policy. You can still go to the grocery store and mingle with everyone but not a sporting event? You can still carry and pass the virus whilst vaccinated, but shhhh don't tell anyone. This is the same government that has implemented border closures, school closures, mask policies, regional travel restrictions, cohorts in elementary schools, banning flights from specific countries. All without having to show anyone any shred of data that the policies enacted do anything to mitigate the spread of Covid. It's all eyewash BS that only divides people.
Pick me apart, I'm interested to hear what people have to say including the good doctor above.
