Yes!
Mix doses….no science behind it, but what the heck!
🤪
@John Wang let’s mix bleach and ammonia…. they’re both cleaners……what could go wrong? (mustard gas)
Jfc
🤪
@Jim Trainor where? Are you daft? Where is your evidence….if none….kindly pi ss off
@Greg House Look up heterologous prime-boost to confirm the doc’s “precedence” statement.
@Jim Trainor that’s not evidence…it’s theory
@COVID 19 We’re talking about the doc’s “precedence” statement. That precedence is not simply theory, it’s reality.
A year+ to build more hospitals!!!!
@john15008 Maybe use that CERB money to train staff?
@Macrostiff Productions Don’t be silly. It’s not a matter of funding.
At what rate are COVID cases hospitalized in Alberta? 1 in 5? 1 in 10? 1 in 20? The answer, according to the Alberta government’s own data:
1 in 25 cases has ever been hospitalized
1 in 141 cases has ever been admitted to an ICU
If you look at only those cases in persons under 60 year of age (three-quarters of the provincial population):
1 in 47 has ever been hospitalized
1 in 254 has ever been admitted to an ICU
Why??? Many are empty! More buildings with no staff solves what??
and a year+ to train more nurses and doctors? where do yall illiterates come from?
The science was in before they discovered blood clots . Seems kind of funny that governments have shown a record of incompetence and then following up with the scientific evidence is in until next week
Alberta Needs to Hold a Referendum and Fire Their Government
The rest of Canada would Follow Suit after
The unfortunate thing is all governments are inept and they always will be. That’s why you want as small a government as possible. Ours is way to big…
@Bob Dole
I couldn’t agree more
All of them will cause vascular damage from the spike proteins.
Exactly, the same mechanism is in all of them and is potentially deadly!
Probably not.
Would love to know more bud! Please elaborate on spike protein and vascular damage.
I think Canada needs to halt both vector Covid 19 vaccines. mRNA is shown to have the best results. Safe and effective.
Actually, the mRNA vaccines are not effective against the Brazillisn variant.
@Name Name you mean we shouldn’t pay any attention to the conspiracy nonsense that the WHO and CDC put out?
@John Smith it’s actually called the p1 variant. It’s 4-7 times less effective. However, it’s the mRNA vaccines that are actually easier to modify than the vector vaccines. mRNA, although older, is next level armour in the fight against disease.
@boghopper yeah…ok lol
All vaccines are bioweapons. No thanks.
confusion ? Whatever you can get in your arm ? Sounds alarmist . This guy is quite the drama queen . Over 17 states in the united states open already and ontario should be wide open NOW . No excuse for Any delay–do you hear that doug ford?
There are three possibilities in regards to Ford:
(1) Ford is too dumb to realize he’s being conned by his COVID advisors
(2) Ford knows he is being conned but is too afraid to do anything about it
(3) Ford is in on the con.
@Primmakin Sofis I guess Ford is being threatened is included in number 2.
This Doctor is crazy o what happen?
Deaths in Canada (all cause mortality)
2016 = 262,090
2017 = 274,240 (+12,150 from 2016)
2018 = 283,770 (+9,530 from 2017)
2019 = 287,460 (+3,690 from 2018)
2020 = 300,210 (+12,750 from 2019)
Any advice from Canadian doctors?
Nah just infectious disease specialists.
According to the Alberta government’s own COVID data:
— only 1 in 25 cases in the province has ever been hospitalized
— only 1 in 141 cases in the province has ever been admitted to an ICU
— the survival/recovery rate for cases under 60 years of age is 99.93%
— only 2.4% of deaths had no comorbidities
Not quite the apocalypse some seem intent on portraying it to be.
Canada’s case fatality rate is 1.9%, actually. Considering death as the only negative outcome of coronavirus infection is a sign of medical and epidemiological illiteracy. Covid minimizing serves no one.
Pretty sure this guy didn’t get AstraZeneca.
Russian roulette, who wants to play.
The crisis in Canada is our government not the virus.
Just as normal as JT
Dr Nick is back! Hello everybody!

🤣🤣
99.98 that’s all.
Nuremberg 2.0 trials are underway.
I can’t wait for these medical bureaucrats to be put on trial for Crimes Against Humanity.
The reporters and their handlers as well.
In case you wonder what Normal is “normal, typical, natural mean being of the sort or kind that is expected as usual, ordinary, or average. regular stresses conformity to a rule, standard, or pattern. the club’s regular monthly meeting normal implies lack of deviation from what has been discovered or established as the most usual or expected ” .
Get into arms? why do they keep saying this? As if ppl r subjects
