My son is 16 and plays an elite level of ice hockey in Canada. A few weeks back he was invited to an upcoming rookie camp for a WHL team (the WHL is one of the prime amateur leagues the NHL typically drafts players out of). Then yesterday we received an email that all players must be vaxxed with at least their first shot to attend.

The pressure at my wife's work, a major large Canadian company, is increasing on almost a weekly basis to be vaxxed.

And then last week Trudeau announces no travel on planes or trains unless you're vaccinated - and my job involves flying at least 20-30% of the time. He's turning up the heat more and more...it's clear that country-wide mandates are coming once he has his majority in about a month's time.

My family and I have been waiting for the Novavax vaccine, which now seems delayed until who knows when. I DO NOT want either mrna ones for all the reasons Alex has outlined.

But, here are: if we want to continue to make a living and live life we have no choice but to vaccinate ourselves with a substance we DO NOT know the long-term consequences of taking and clearly isn't working long-term.

To say I genuinely hate my gov't right now is an understatement. How could they FORCE me to take something I don't want - especially when there are alternatives like ivermectin that are working according to friends using it in Argentina?!?! This is beyond insane and I'd move my family immediately somewhere this isn't happening - IF that place existed. But, the insanity is everywhere.

The hopelessness is overwhelming right now.

Anecdotally was in an employee/HR meeting where testing the unvaxxed was mentioned and someone commented that if the vaccinated can spread the virus as easily as the unvaxxed why not test everyone, and that persons comment was applauded. A lot of people are beginning to rub the sleepies out of their eyes..
