I have to say I was wrong about the carbon tax. I fully expected that the tax cut in terms of prices would not hold, and stay firm, they have.

I can't recall the last summer where we were paying $1.50 - $1.60 per litre, it's been a pleasant surprise.

"Of course I agree the vaccine is effective!"
Conservatives are such fucking pussy cuck bitches. Give it 10 years and that fag might grow the balls to say the truth.
"Of course I agree that shit was poison!"


What a complete crime they forced on millions of dough-headed Canadians, and now, the program designed to help, is making paraylzed people like Kayla beg on X for money to survive.

Big Pharma doesn't care if you live... it cares if you buy. Merck's drug "Vioxx" killed tens of thousands with heart attacks they knew would happen and covered that shit up.

Wyeth's "Fen-Phen" wrecked hearts and lungs in six million people while internal red flags were buried for the sake of profit. No jail, just billions in settlements... and the pills kept flowing!

Pfizer and Moderna made so much from the COVID vaccines that by 2022, they were earning more in a single day than most countries spend on public health in a year... with combined profits topping $90 billion, enough to give every person on Earth $11 or fund Canada’s entire healthcare system for over a decade.

These weren't accidents, they were business decisions. So when people act like pharma wouldn't lie about the COVID "vaccine" now, remember: Big Pharma has already been caught over and over... and the bodies were just the "cost of doing business."

So what you’re saying is essentially every governing body responsible for regulating and approving drugs, the FDA, European Unions EMA, etc. are all in on a moon-landing level of conspiracy to conspire against individuals such as yourself? Even though through the most basic searches and investigations you can pretty well come to the conclusion that every Covid vaccine went through just as rigorous and analytic testing as any other drug or medical device before or after it.

It’s impossible to take anything you say in regards to the vaccine seriously because you’re just blatantly ignoring actual scientific data, peer reviewed studies etc.

There’s never been a situation where there is more tangible, relevant, data to study which suggests the opposite of what you are suggesting. Science is science.

If you think regulatory bodies like the FDA or EMA are flawless guardians of truth, remember that Vioxx was fully approved... and it went on to kill tens of thousands before being pulled.

The same FDA let Fen-Phen devastate hearts and lungs, and they only acted under pressure after the damage was done.

These agencies aren't all-knowing, all-seeing guardians... rather, they're slow-moving bureaucracies influenced by politics, lobbying, corporate pressure and God knows what other agendas. As for COVID vaccines, the VAERS system, you know, the USA government's own adverse event tracker, has logged more reports of serious side effects, injuries, and deaths for these "vaccines" than for every other vaccine in history combined. That's not a conspiracy, that's their own data. You can believe in science without blindly worshipping every product rushed to market under emergency authorization just because the TV told you it was safe.

Gee, I don't even know if there is a Canadian VAERs where I can look up Canadian negative reactions? You should spend some time reading the VAERs reports for the COVID "vaccine" yourself. Seems like a lot of people got hurt by that shit.

Again, I have a friend with a masters in chemical engineering who works in a field related to this type of thing.

My wife worked in medical devices for a decade doing approvals and applications to these governing bodies, audits, etc.

They tell me it all went as anything else does. You must have some insider information.

There’s nothing else to say. Professionals in their field, educated and experienced.

As opposed to.. you?

You’re exactly the same as every single other person spewing the same sentiment.

Is there a way that we can start a new thread ... Covid Vaccine Debate

... and get that shit out of every other thread. But I doubt certain individuals would play within the lines as he/she is seeking attention.

The lengths that people will go to disparage people with different opinions these days is just savage. If I were a multi-millionaire, you'd be kissing my feet.

It doesn't really matter at the end of the day, it just comes up randomly at random places.

These aren’t opinions. These are stats. These are mathematical. These are scientific facts.
You can like nickleback or whatever, that’s an opinion. 2+2=5 isn’t an opinion, it’s just wrong and it should be disparaged.
