I'm so sick of our government. Couple weeks ago, not all that useful to vaccinate youth, not really needed, guaranteed there won't be any restrictions and no distinction will be made between students. Videos online backing it up with kids Q&A with doctors, basically saying, it's up to you and only giving reasons not to...

Today

with the province’s top doctor warning that vaccinated and unvaccinated students will have different sets of rules when schools starts up again.


Fucking experts, I've had it with the conflicting information.

“parents and people will hopefully look at good data and high quality information and think about the benefits, the risks, the context of where they live and hopefully they choose to get vaccinated.”

I give up, can't find high quality information that doesn't flip flop on a weekly basis. Anyway we live in a rural area, risks are minimal and schools were safe right? Or not? Does it matter when we have two kids and only one is eligible to get vaccinated (going to the same school, on the same bus). Will schools have preventative measures or is ventilation still inadequate. Is the extra cleaning over? (local supermarket stopped cleaning the carts, left a couple wipes out to diy)


Oh, another comforting study

The study said those who had been placed on a ventilator during the pandemic exhibited the greatest cognitive deficits, so much so that it equated to a seven-point drop in IQ in a classic intelligence test.
