  1. Do tell Mr. Tam, why are the double vaxed and a booster being tested positive for covid 19 and are the ones in the hospital ?????

  2. Always worst case scenario…. if it actually worked like that in the real world.
    Just a reminder… the true racists in Canada wear blackface… or those that look at someone wearing blackface, see that someone else shares their values, and says ‘I need this person to represent me.’

  3. Naturally the lines don’t prove anything. They just graph varying assumptions. These presentations raise concerns. For instance, the YouTube headline says “restrictions will help Canada reach Omicron peak sooner”. Of course that’s not proven by the graph, just an assumption of the person who drew it.

  4. I noticed even with all the surgeries being cancelled Dr. Terry Tam was still able to have his prominent Adam’s apple removed !!

  5. These models estimate the “true” number of cases….how can estimates of a possible future event be “true”.

  6. I’m trying to keep my optimism in check, but I really think this wave is going to spell the end of the day-to-day impact of the pandemic. It also looks as if we are successfully flattening this wave, even if it’s been really annoying!

    1. Are you optimistic enough to think the lock downs and mandates will end as well or are we still going to be restricted to move unless everyone complies?

  7. If the weatherman always was wrong every single time about the weather and never even once got the forecast correct would you still follow his advice?

    1. Weather men are always wrong. I took intro atmospheric science and could predict it better. With no fancy super computer that they bragged about all course long being able to accurately predict weather up to a week in advance. More like 2 or 3 days. Scientists are clueless. Braindead society.

  10. how have those restrictions helped? we’re worse off now than we ever were during the pandemic… and we had vaccines for the past 6 months. Tam and all Health officials for the provinces should resign

  12. Let’s reach the Omicron peak sooner in anticipation for the next variant . . . . . . yehey more restrictions to come

  13. So far all of the modelling the government has given since the start of the pandemic has been wrong hahahahhaah
