I'm starting to suspect that some of those that work forces are the same that honk hornses.

The fight against mandatory seatbelts in Alberta in 1989. Since the adoption of seatbelts across Canada it is estimated that tens of thousands of Canadian lives have been saved.

You know, I thought I would be angry, or at least annoyed with the unvaxxed in ICU. But I’m not. Because as I walk around, seeing patient after patient on their bellies, fielding calls from worried family, analyzing ever worsening bloodwork, reading patients histories…

Person in Regina hospital. Crying. Dying.
"I should have had my shots. My wife had hers. She kept telling me to get mine. I'm going to die, aren't I?"
He spoke w/ family one last time before going to ICU. He told them he was so sorry.
He died 3 days later, alone.

This is my son Levi and he has been battling cancer for over 2 years. We are in the hospital 10 days/month + ED visits due to him being neutropenic post chemo. Think of him when you’re choosing your “freedom” over the vax. Because his life is worth more than your “freedom”. (1/3)
Pfizer: Spends billions on vaccine development for novel virus, and brings life-saving vaccines to the masses within a year.

Update Aug 12, 2021. Yes, the 4th wave is here. Positive case speed signal for the past week, including the error bounds. As others have noted, hosp and ICU lag cases. Hosp are beginning to plateau, and the decline in ICU is slowing down. #GetVaccinated

513 cases today in Ontario. R(t) ~1.5. Millions of unvaccinated children heading back to schools in less than a month. 20 million doses across Canada in freezers, can't be easily donated to lower-income countries.
Let parents decide whether they want to vaccinate children?

Dr Peter Juni: “the probability of unvaccinated people across all age groups to experience infection in the next 6 to 12 months is 80 to 90%. And the risk of complications from Delta in this unvaccinated group is 2-3x higher than with previous variants.”

From a @ConferenceBoard report last September. Let's not forget how far we've come. Under 4 months later (still 2020) we started our vaccination campaign. We're not yet "late in 2021" and we've put over 18mn shots in arms, and over 8mn Ontarians are fully vaxxed. 🤯 #COVID19ON
Bit of a slow down in daily vaccinations.
Put the "cin" in your vacation, and get your vaccination.
Don't let up, Ontario.

The 3 Simple Rules That Underscore the Danger of Delta by @edyong209 in @TheAtlantic:
1. The vaccines are still beating the variants
2. The variants are pummeling unvaccinated people
3. The longer Principle No. 2 continues, the less likely No. 1 will hold

Before Delta, Israel reached herd immunity or close to it
To regain herd immunity, we need to vaccinate as many of the 1.2 million over the age of 12 who have not yet been vaccinated
Yes, it's that simple
Good work, Ontario. Shout out to vaccines and UV rays for a supporting role in helping us get to a safer summer. #COVID19ON
