You summed up the situation well.

Now there's a shot from the past in your headline - "a piss-poor" effort.

Something my older brother used to describe my tennis game when playing against me as a teenager... it proved to be remarkably effective for him.

Well, then let’s hope my messaging is as effective! 😂

My brother was far kinder during our matches growing up. I think I was the McEnroe of the bunch...

The fear mongering is still having an impact. We've all seen a rebound in the use of masks in stores, particularly by older folks who may indeed have immunity issues, but others remain believers. Today, a shiny new Tesla passed my home in mid-town Toronto. The neighbourhood is littered with that model, but this one caught my attention. The young driver, who was alone in the car, was wearing a large blue mask. Thankfully, its colour matched that of the EV.

Safety first, Ted!

I’m seeing maybe 1/20 masked in the west end, but give it time. Maybe up to 15% once it drops below 10 degrees.

Australia won’t give boosters to anyone under 75. The EU won’t give Moderna to anyone under the age of 30. Most of the EU won’t recommend boosters for anyone under 65.

There is a real risk, from these shots, with NO benefit, to healthy people under the age of 30,

Regardless of “product to move” one might suggest it is criminally negligent for Dr.Tam and her beaurcpatic minions, to push this pharma product on Canadians under the the age of 30 & worse (flagrant disregard causing bodily harm) to push it on anyone under the age of 18.

I know quite a few doctors and scientists who would agree with you. I hope we’re able to tread much more carefully this time.

A very satisfying last few lines. Great read overall.

When writing, I find the take offs and landings come naturally, it’s the turbulence in the middle that can trip me up. 😅

Right on Alexander. The Lieberal government has lost all credibility. Canadians are fed up with the 'follow the science' B.S.; especially when the 'science' doesn't follow the SCIENCE.

Sad to see that more often than not 'The Science' just follows the money. The stories I’ve heard from physicians and high-level actual scientists are appalling. They’re incredibly hamstrung by administrative bloat, hyper-political unions, and pharma interests.
