With federal nincompoops stating we need +90% people jabbed, and knowing the percentage of people who will refuse the jab is more than 10%, it is a failing notion.
The concept of herd immunity then comes in:
For example, if 80% of a population is immune to a virus, four out of every five people who encounter someone with the disease won’t get sick (and won’t spread the disease any further). In this way, the spread of infectious diseases is kept under control. Depending how contagious an infection is, usually 50% to 90% of a population needs immunity before infection rates start to decline. But this percentage isn’t a “magic threshold” that we need to cross—especially for a novel virus. Both viral evolution and changes in how people interact with each other can bring this number up or down. Below any “herd immunity threshold,” immunity in the population (for example, from vaccination) can still have a positive effect. And above the threshold, infections can still occur.
So it is, if you get sick, your immune system will create antibodies that stay in your system long after the initial infection.
This, I believe, is what they are aiming for. Greater number of people with natural immunity since artificial immunity (the jab) will not get to the ever moving herd immunity threshold the media keeps reporting.
And with the low mortality rate of under 1% of those infected, which is 0.053% of the entire population…
August 26, 2021 at 7:26 pm #23862377.6 per cent of those ages 12 and up have now received at least one dose of vaccine.
69.2 per cent of those ages 12 and up are now fully immunized (two doses)

Of those in hospital for COVID-19, about 80 per cent are unvaccinated, three per cent are partially vaccinated and 17 per cent are fully vaccinated.
That is right, fully jabbed people are still getting hospitalized with Covid!

Yep, we are back up in the 5-digit active cases.
September 2, 2021 at 8:13 am #239274From my understanding of how a virus work (at least a corona virus).
The goal of the virus is to survive by becoming more infectious with lesser symptoms, after all it’s detrimental for survival to kill the host.
If you inject a bunch of people with leaky vaccines, the virus hits a wall, but then mutates into a stronger variant to overcome the anomaly (aka a leaky vaccine).
But this is exactly the opposite of what my crazy government is saying.
September 3, 2021 at 6:17 pm #239423Well, indoor mask mandates are back where I am, as to tomorrow.
Not even 24-hour warning, thou most expected this after the rising “active” cases.
Oh, and get this.
They are now trying to bribe the non-jabbed to get the jab/get $100 dollars.
Hell, if you “you can win prizes, game tickets, and even $1Million Dollars” did not work, WTF do you think $100 will do?
September 3, 2021 at 6:20 pm #23942478.3 per cent of those ages 12 and up have now received at least one dose of vaccine.

September 7, 2021 at 8:58 am #239732And the calls of the alt-left is growing.
The lottery system to reward those whom have gotten the jab did NOT increase jab rates as expect by the “experts”.
The gift card incentive to create new first time jabbers has failed.
So what do the alt-left want to do?
Physicians in the province say a vaccine passport or stronger restrictions on access to public spaces for those not vaccinated is needed to boost vaccine rates in the province — not more incentives.
Those that will blindly follow all without question, and everyone else.
…the answer to increasing vaccine rates is not more incentives, but a vaccine passport or mandate that will restrict those without a first or second dose from visiting certain public places.
Yep, they want to make a two tiered society.
“We have to look at stronger measures to promote vaccinations. Other provinces, other countries have definitively introduced a vaccine passport or an idea that if you’re unvaccinated, then there’s limited access to society, because this is where we’re at.”
So by threats, intimidations, and a lose of rights and liberties.
And they still want us to trust them?
With this draconian and totalitarian ways.
A drug with no liabilities to big pharma, and no long term side effect lists made publicly available (if they even have such studies), being pushed by the untrustworthy media and lying politicians.
Not a chance!
September 7, 2021 at 9:44 am #239735Unvaxxed opponents of B.C. vaccine pass question its legality
Unvaccinated critics of B.C.’s soon-to-be-implemented vaccine pass believe the proof-of-vaccine system is illegal and goes against their right to choose, according to a new poll by Insights West .
As it is!
On Tuesday, thousands of people gathered outside hospitals and health-care centres across the country to decry what they call the “tyranny” of vaccine mandates — a loud and vocal minority that’s contributing to a widening divide between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated, said pollster Steve Mossop.
And who would not be, with it is THEIR Rights and Liberties being threatened.
Nearly all of them say the implementation of B.C.’s vaccine pass starting Sept. 13, which would curtail access of unvaccinated people to non-essential services and venues such as restaurants, bars, and gyms, will not make them change their mind about the jab.
And class action lawsuits will be the results.
When asked why they were against getting the COVID-19 vaccine, nearly all, or 99 per cent, cited their right to choose for their body.
Many also expressed worry over the long-term side effects of the vaccine (96 per cent), lack of trust in the vaccine’s safety (95 per cent), a belief the vaccine doesn’t stop transmission of the virus (94 per cent), and a belief pharmaceutical companies just want money (83 per cent).
That is not low numbers.
This unvaccinated group were evenly split between gender and is representative of all age groups and across all regions of the province, said Insights West in an analysis of the findings. They also tend to be more highly educated, and have slightly higher-than-average income.
OH, another legacy media narrative DEBUNKED!
And this backlash is not just a North American isolated instance.

September 8, 2021 at 7:55 pm #239901Haha things are so crazy right now, I cringe so much when the BC government makes a Covid announcement.
Jeremy Griggs is getting interviewed by Viva Frei right now, I wonder if this will help the PPC (which seems to be the only party against the vaccine passport)
September 8, 2021 at 10:32 pm #239916Maybe the only federal party.
Not all provincial governments wants a jab-passport.
I sure don’t want one.
September 8, 2021 at 10:51 pm #239918Yeah but the Libtards are offering to split $1 billion, do you think your provincial won’t jump on the opportunity to gain a quick $80 mil? I hope not, but who really knows. I was pretty happy to hear that your provincial government was moving away from the Covid madness, but then flipped on mask mandates.
did you catch the french debate?
September 9, 2021 at 9:22 am #239940did you catch the french debate?
I am sick of hearing about those egotistical morons.
The last thing I want to do is waste my listen watching them making false promises and insult each other.

Some articles have started to list the number of people who do NOT want/has not been jabbed.
There are 781,254 eligible … who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Well, as we see there is only a spread of 8% between 1 and 2 doses.
And more leftists (businesses, medical people) are calling for a “show us your papers” province-wide passport system, while protests over these civil rights / medical privacy are also growing.
September 13, 2021 at 6:09 pm #240554First day of a segregated society here in BC. And get this, gyms require you to show your papers, but not fast food joints. Although, if you offer table service you need to show your papers. It makes zero sense.
