Guy has a go fund me.
I hear Seth rogan and the rest of those judd apatow clowns are good at throwing money towards causes. I wonder if they will support the father of a child with cancer.
I don’t expect Jimmy Kimmel to cry for this child anytime soon.

Counterpoint, it's a charity hotel full of immune compromised kids and the families visiting them. There is no higher priority place to universally vaccinate.

Won't somebody think of this poor dad's right to infect immunocompromised children?!?!


But sarcasm aside, vaccines VERY much reduced rate of infection with Wuhan or Delta strains. The real question is why this wasn't already their policy since its been effective. We'll assume it went through some committee and just now came out as many of these policies seem to do.

But lets look at Omicron and see if it applies since that's what we are really looking at in this month going forward:

From the UK data:

Among those who had received 2 doses of Pfizer or Moderna effectiveness dropped from around 65 to 70% down to around 10% by 20 weeks after the second dose. 2 to 4 weeks after a booster dose vaccine effectiveness ranged from around 65 to 75%, dropping to 55 to 70% at 5 to 9 weeks and 40 to 50% from 10+ weeks after the booster
The UK data shows significant decrease in hospitalization for 2 or 3 shots. But the argument by that dad is about transmissibility. Does vaccinating everyone there lower the number of cases found at the hotel?
Looking at the UK omicron data, two shots would lower the cases of omicron found inside of the Ronald Mcdonald house by 2/3rds but this would only lower cases by 10% 5 months later. A booster would then result in maintaining 50-75% fewer cases of omicron inside the Ronald McDonald House for some time TBD as this is a new strain without that data yet.

how tf do you figure? where are our red states? every province is going right along with everything . all the networks toe the government line and people are more than happy to stay masked up and work from home forever
Working from home is the tits bud

And LOL at using the red states as barometers of intelligence. I went to school in one. It’s why I’m so dumb.

Eh bud I’m not claiming moral high ground eh
Eh it is you the Canadian claiming eh to have moral superiority eh
it is the fatal flaw in the canadian identity to feel that false sense of superiority over americans . the cbc feeds in to it . . canadians love nothing more than to look down their nose at america for gun violence and health care all while ignoring our own problems . the CBC has literally had comedy shows whose entire basis is that americans are so stupid . the entire GTA (toronto) walks around with their nose in the air enjoying the smell of their own farts
