Re: Ivermectin-Disinformation of the century

You're assigning malicious intent where there was none. I was merely posting an interesting scientific analysis on the topic at hand, and making a relevant observation that we can't even seem to agree on what the facts are, even when they are readily available. Because to many people, it's not about...

Wow. What a traumatic experience. GTFO then. Wow, "GTFO" to an immigrant couple who are working hard trying to start a new life as productive members of our society.

Re: Residential School Airplane

In these communities, where addiction is already a disproportionately huge problem, easy access to cheap substances might outweigh the benefits. "We mustn't build any roads! They're all addicts and will just overdose on cheaper narcotics!" There is no easy answer to magically make these places bett...

Re: Residential School Airplane

It's not just about the cost of travel, it's also about what can be transported, and when . Don't forget, that cuts both ways. I think all season roads to our fly-in communities would make more difference than anyone could ever possibly imagine. In these communities, where addiction is already a di...

Re: A Painful Reminder Or a Lifesaver

I was asked by digits for a suggestion. I gave one, and of course now get trolled for it. I’m completely unfamiliar with fly in communities outside Ont. Water is another obvious problem. At least I’m commenting having briefly visited a few of these communities, and not from a CBC article. Not troll...

Re: Are you vaccinated?

Vitamin D is obviously very important, but the point is there is no evidence that supplementation makes any difference to COVID. And certainly "skipping the flu shot and taking a Vitamin D supplement" isn't a very helpful statement. Certainly skipping the flu shot seems irrelevant to this discussio...

Where did the article you strategically quoted say that it's not advisable to get a flu shot?
Conclusions
Receipt of influenza vaccination was not associated with virus interference among our population.

Re: Vaccinated people told not to travel in Spain and Russia

If you dig a little deeper you'll see they are "authorized with conditions" under an interim order that allows their use even though they have not gone through the normal, full regulatory processes. If you'd like to argue based on semantics, that's fine. But it's fairly obvious that these vaccines h...

Re: Vaccinated people told not to travel in Spain and Russia

I’m not sure why you say COVID-19 vaccines are not approved. They’re allowed to be injected into people by medical authorities on a worldwide basis. That meets my definition of approved. Well, personal, made-up definitions aside, it's really quite simple. I say that because it is a verifiable fact....

Re: Vaccinated people told not to travel in Spain and Russia

Have there ever been any vaccines that have long term effects which became apparent only after 12 months? Well that's kind of a loaded question. Have there ever been any vaccines that have been administered by the hundreds of millions before they were approved? Have there ever been any vaccines tha...

Which leads to the second point, this idea that "less than a year's research" has been done on these vaccines. What ignorant nonsense.
