I am proud to be playing my small part in our government's science experiment. I hope I don't get one of those lame superpowers.

I was thinking same thing will we ever see anymore AZ vaccines

I remember when a few of us were considering waiting for the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine and labeled selfish and possibly responsible for more deaths
yet that is what our government is advising with the J&J??? WTF

Ya I said from the very start of the first vaccine being brought to market that citizens were being used as guinea pigs, in real time.

I do not say that to be reactionary. I am not even saying that is wrong. It is just reality.

Big Pharma and the CDC say 'no short cuts were taken, things were just done in parallel' but that is simply not true. But I understand why they feel they have to say that otherwise many more people would be too frightened to take the vaccines.

Gov'ts and the CDC etc, simply made the CHOICE and BET that the 'still' unknown risks of the vaccines were less than the known risks of Coronavirus. And in terms of weighting 'risk' I do not disagree.

There is a reason why prior vaccines would typically go through years of trials before being approved and it is not solely the lack of a 'Trump' pushing. It is because one of the best 'discovery' factors of trails and testing is 'Time'. You cannot short circuit time. And time, in some cases will reveal some things that a lack of time did not.

So if 'time' is a factor is an issue, instead of seeing adverse events in small test populations, as part of 'trials' we are going to see those adverse events play out in a majority of the population.

'Time' would allow them to test, mixing vaccines and determine if it 'better', 'worse' or 'neutral'. 'Time' would have isolated out the Allergy risk which we saw play out in real time instead. "Time' exposes a lot.

But again, with a very real deadly risk (the virus) active I understand and agree with the gamble chosen. If someone is shooting at me with a gun I am going to grab whatever I can in the hopes it can stop the bullet. I am not going to wait until it is tested and proven.

I just wish society was mature enough that gov't and the CDC could give us the full truth, Winston Churchill style, and still get the compliance they needed.

No, one of the biggest reasons why it moved so much faster was because of the huge prevalence of covid right now. In a normal vaccine trial the main reason it takes time is because you can't deliberately expose your trial participants to a deadly disease, so it takes years and years to ascertain that a certain percentage of them will be exposed to the pathogen naturally. But with covid the likelihood is that there will be plenty of exposure in a random group of people, so it makes it easier to study.

Radio so no link, but BC's Bonnie Henry said yesterday that firstly they do expect the federal government to procure enough AZ for second doses within the 16 week window, but that mix and match is being watched carefully due to this being studied in europe. So the combined message was yes, you will get a second dose, but we are waiting a little bit to see whether that proves better to be AZ or mRNA which is totally fine by me.

100% agree I think we would have more compliance and vaccinations.

Alberta says its putting in more restrictions today. Chances are they will have zero impact

Kenney Shut down parliament and the consensus he has gone into hiding Notley had a good take on it

“I can’t help but remember his boastful rhetoric this time last year, invoking the memories of the British parliament remaining in session through the (German bombing) Blitz,” she added.

“The suggestion that the legislature cannot sit while servers are still working on patios and people are still crowding into malls is absurd. Now more than ever, Jason Kenney needs to show up to work.”

You're a good canadian uke. Patient, obedient and lapping up everything the gov tells you. I don't doubt I'll get a 2nd dose. But can't help but feel the entire population is part of some double blinded study. I will do my part for science!

Small minority in favour, and if the question asked was in relation to travel, that's not surprising. I think if the question was about them being used more broadly, domestically, the numbers might be quite different.

Kenney deserves to lose your vote for
  • Investing 1.8 nillion in a pipeline that any idiot knew would be cancelled when Biden won
  • New School Curiculum
  • Is overall handling of Alberta's economy slashing corporate taxes lower

The pandemic is tough balancing politics with shut downs. Part of me thinks you can shut it down all you want but unless your prepared to enforce the rules there will always be a percentage that will ignore them.
Reality is Notley will probably win the next election but she can not make the tough decisions that need to be made as well.

I am surprised the UCP have not seen the sinking ship and ditched the captain

If the handling of Covid is the reason to get rid of him Trudeau should be gone as well

Hindsight is 20/20. If he doesn't invest and Trump wins you'd be saying the same thing. The pipeline will be built eventually, there are worse things to spend money on.

  • No issue with that. Had to compete with the US tax cuts. The Alberta economy was getting back on track before COVID.

    It's been over 14 months and the same reasons for lockdowns are being given (ICU capacity).Policticians have had enough time, data and emergency powers to figure it out and the fact we are completely locking down again is unacceptable imo. As a manager if I am tasked with a problem and nothing I do works to solve it and after 14+ months things are worse than when it started and I just try to solve it the same way again I deserve to and will be fired. A politician with zero courage does this because they can always say they tried and blame it on people just not following restrictions.

    The problem is the tools (peoples) you need for a pandemic to stop aren’t doing their job .

    Why Asia is ok with covid now , because they have better politicians? Really ?
    Or they went in much harsher lock down ?

    Good excuse, trying using that with your boss and see if it matters. It's up to the leader/manager to get people to do their job. It's obviously been a failure so time to move on. Any politician that has to resort to full lockdowns at this point has failed, and should be fired.

    Sadly you can lockdown as much as you want and increase the fines to $2000 but if you do not hand out those fines its a lost cause.
    Though as bad as Alberta is doing and we are doing really bad other provinces are not crushing it either

    Take that rodeo all the RCMP had to do was park a few cars in the corral or arena and Rodeo is done.

    Cute. Stupid on multiple levels, but cute.

    Firstly, I've been pretty critical of the Canadian government's response in multiple places ITT, but I'll give you a brand new one: I think BC was several weeks to slow between the publishing of the big US study showing the efficacy for pregnant women. Ontario moved immediately, but BC only just accepted it yesterday. My wife is pregnant with our second and so she just booked her shot. I've been someone who is looking at the underlying research and studies coming out, and comparing that to the government response and calling shots as I see them. Why you have managed to deduce I'm lapping up everything the government tells me is beyond me.

    But there is some elements of truth nevertheless, but not I think quite the way you mean it. As in, a lot of people, to a degree me included, play armchair epidemiologist here. That's ok, to a extent. However, a lot of us - to notably varying degrees - do that pretty terribly and for the most part I think that we SHOULD do appeals to authority here and listen to our respective health authorities. That isn't to say they aren't beyond criticisms - indeed I've criticized a lot ITT - but that we have a sort of collective responsibility to come together and agree to courses of action and the health authorities are the right level for that. It would be terrible if we just reported the studies and let every individual make up their own minds about social distancing and masks and vaccines and everything else. No, we need a central authority to be making educated decisions for that. Perhaps you've picked up on that thread somehow and confused it for "lapping up everything the government tells me".

    Holy ****, what is Alberta doing. Come Monday anyone over 12 can book an appointment? This is ridiculous! We don't need 12 year olds competing for the same vaccination appointments as 40 and 50 year olds! I feel I must still be missing something in the announcement, because otherwise this is utter BS.

    The fines are a joke anyway. NS has issued almost 800 tickets in the last year and only 79 have been paid.

    Ok? Fire those Policticians too. There has to be some accountability here. Our neighbors south of the border are selling out stadiums while we can't go down a waterslide.

    This is a pretty terrible take. The reason things are similar 14 months later is because - shocker - the pandemic case loads have risen back to peak levels. What were you wanting? Doubling the amount of hospitals in Alberta in 14 months? When the restrictions are removed, cases rise. When those cases get high enough to threaten the hospital season, you have to layer the restriction back on. This is all pretty basic. Alberta has made a lot of mistakes, specifically they should have put back on more restrictions faster a month ago, but to think you can magically solve this problem without restrictions when lack of restriction is what got us here is laughable.
