All Things COVID-19

I don’t know what is funny about firing one of the only two pediatricians at the Port Alberto hospital. I pray you never have a family member that cannot receive care due to this senseless decision.
I’m all for vaccines, and am double vax’d myself but firing healthcare workers poses an immediate risk. Personally I’d rather take the risk of being treated by an unvaccinated healthcare worker then not being treated at all. An unvaccinated healthcare worker has to first get sick, then go to work sick, and then fail to use proper procedure and PPE to pose a threat to society. I don’t need to go into detail about how firing a sizeable part of the workforce threatens each and every one of us.
Unvaccinated healthcare workers managed to care for us without excessive risk before vaccines were around, I’m certain they can continue to do so now.
1. Their medical training tells them that vaccines work and are safe.
2. Major public health information stream telling us about covid vaccines and their effectiveness.
3. As physicians they have even more access to research and data about covid vaccines.
4. They knowingly choose to subject co workers and patients to additional and avoidable risk by refusing the vaccine.

This is not the description of a team player.
 
I live in Alberni and he has a good reputation . I agree that they won’t cave though. If they cave for him, they’d have to cave for everyone. I have a baby due January. Not great timing to lose him , 3 other doctors and a bunch of nurses in a small town. I’m just throwing this out there but maybe the reason he doesn’t want it is as simple as the current vaccine offerings were rushed to market , are only effective for a short period of time and the safety of the current vaccines long term is unknown. Everyday there are people working on different options . Within months there could be far safer and longer lasting treatments available for Covid . It’s possible him and many others are taking this route and hoping something better or different comes along.
I hope everything goes smoothly and everyone is healthy with your new addition to the family. Just odd for a Dr to disregard the science, and as Sly Karma says the science says refusing the vaccine puts everyone around him like patients and coworkers at a higher risk than if he was vaccinated. Like I said, feel for you guys there and hope everything goes perfect for you.

Well said!

That was disgusting as are the antivaxx/ mask protests at hospitals. This is embarassing for these fringe members of our society, unbelievable interrupting a ceremony to honour the very people who fought and sacrificed their lives so these imbeciles can live in a free country. Speechless…..dumbasses
 
Our culture has deteriorated to the place that everyone believes they are entitled but no one is held accountable. We tolerate the most deplorable living amongst us. Rick Mercer said, long ago, that Canadians are afflicted with terminal niceness. It's past time that stops.
 
The protestors were the lead story on CHBC (Kelowna) news last night. That's a problem too, giving this tiny fringe more voice than they deserve.

As for their actions at the Remembrance Day event, this calls to mind one of the many Australianisms I learned in my youth: so low they could walk under a pregnant ant while wearing a top hat.
 
I was appalled to see the crazy woman disrupting the Kelowna Remembrance Ceremony by using it to push an anti-vaccine rant. Sometimes rights of free speech should be trumped by common decency.
I hope this woman reflects on what she did and publicly apologizes for disrespecting the veterans who went to war for this country

Or if brains were leather she wouldn’t have enough to make a mouse a pair of running shoes!
 
Breakthrough infections are nothing new, the issue is unvaxxed getting infected and giving the virus more chances to mutate into new variants, current vaccines are designed to prevent the current virus and are not as effective against new variants.

true but the unvaccinated one did not spread it all over the hospital, the vaccinated workers did by not wearing PPE.

does it say that somewhere in the article? Must have missed that. The article states that an unvaxxed covid patient admitted to hospital was the cause of an outbreak.
 
Shouldn't the bigger story be "why and how did 16 people contract Covid-19 while fully vaccinated"?
The important story is your personal decisions can have deadly consequences to others.

Lady Fights Mask Fine And Wins In My City, Parksville, BC.

Right here in nice Canada , it is happening .;
Our rights and freedoms are being suppressed and eliminated .
All in the name name of science that does not exist. Numerous studies from all over the world exist showing that masks, that almost everyone is wearing , are not helpful and in some cases are harmful. I have published some of these studies on this blog.
Ela Tenase went to a local Pharmacy called Pharmasave to pick up her medical prescription . She was not wearing a mask . No entry. She explained that for medical reasons she could not wear one , explaining that’s why she was taking medicines . Meanwhile in a nearby mall in Nanaimo hundreds were sitting in a food court unmasked.
But the authorities would not act reasonably and she was fined by the police. Ela , a courageous Romanian immigrant , did not take kindly to this rebuff and protested outside the pharmacy .
A Canadian news outlet , Rebel News , had recently set up a Democracy Fund to assist people like Ela in fighting these undemocratic measures . They took on Ela ‘s case and just a couple of days ago , her fine was stayed by a Justice of The Peace.
Of course, this follows on the heels of other cases of coercion and suppression throughout Canada. Dr. Hoff of Lytton, BC , for example, was denied having his injured patients be seen by a specialist and ever since the authorities have been harassing him , taking away his hospital privileges and the College of Physicians and Surgeons accusing him of so called ‘vaccine hesitancy.’
Across Canada people are being harassed, coerced , denied their jobs, by a state that is consumed with lockdowns that do more damage than the virus itself. No independent cost benefit analysis would validate what Governments are doing . That’s why they have not done one. But a Dr. Douglas Allen of Simon Fraser University University has completed one and it shows lockdowns and such measures do not work.
But like everything independent these days this ,too, is suppressed !
