The following is a very interesting read:

Why some people don't want a Covid-19 vaccine

Social media is rife with posts disparaging the vaccine hesitant – but these reactions to a complex and nuanced issue are doing more harm than good.

"of the 403,149 COVID-19 cases reported in Ontario between December 14, 2020 and July 10 of this year, just 0.4 per cent were so-called "breakthrough cases'' — COVID-19 infections in people who had received their second doses 14 days prior.
About 4 per cent of all cases reported in that seven-month period were people who were partially vaccinated with just one dose. The rest, of course, were unvaccinated."

"In the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control estimates that 97 per cent of the people who have been admitted to hospital recently with COVID-19 are unvaccinated."

"According to Public Health Agency of Canada data, there have been only 2,222 serious adverse events reported post-vaccination in Canada as of July 9. That's just 0.005 per cent of all doses administered."

Seems like it's safe and it works.

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said new data shows the delta variant, which accounts for more than 80% of the new infections in the U.S., behaves "uniquely differently'' from its predecessors and could make vaccinated people infectious.

With reports of Phizer and others creating new vaccines to fight new varients, I stick with comments that we live in a forever covid world. I keep being proven right day in and day out.

So? The option is to get vaccinated or catch Delta and likely get sick.

I currently know two double vaxxed people who are sick as a dog with Covid. So I just don’t know anymore. For what it’s worth I am double vaxxed.

Delta has CHANGED the game. Letting it out of India was hands down the most dangerous things our leaders let happen

[iblly]

I agree

[Fish Assassin]

Closing our borders in no way guarantee that the Delta or any other virus can be kept out. Every country on this planet have tried and failed.

I am actually rather surprised... CBC of all things!

How a failed deal with China to produce a made-in-Canada COVID-19 vaccine wasted months and millions

Chinese vaccine company seized, deleted half of Fifth Estate interview with top executive

The federal government's failed collaboration with a vaccine manufacturing company in China early in the pandemic has led to a delay of nearly two years in efforts to create a made-in-Canada COVID-19 vaccine.

"I think there's no doubt it has set us back years," Davies said. "When you're in a global pandemic, that is deadly, that costs lives."
