Not correct. Here is the official source: https://covid19-sciencetable.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/2... Please cite your sources.

Your link does not address age-specific hospitalization effects of vaccination. As a result, it is non-responsive to the GP's position. If you posted the wrong link and meant to post one that addresses GP's point of view, would you mind fixing the link? On the other hand, on the off chance it was intentional, please try to engage with more honesty and more in good faith.

Breathtaking amount of ignorance in these comments. EI has never and will never cover voluntarily leaving a position. Don't want to meet basic sanitary requirements? You're free to leave.

Please don’t smoke then, as second hand smoke affects us not addicted to nicotine, when you are standing outside of a shop and I have to walk by past you

If your workplace has banned smoking and you get fired because you refuse to stop smoking there, you're not getting EI.

IE is there to protect you from loss of employment through no fault of your own. Always has been.

Pretty arrogant of you to assume that liberals aren't arming themselves to protect against people that have been threatening violence and advocating for coups to overturn democratic results.

Pretty arrogant of you to think jumping on the bandwagon at the last second would help.

Fortnite is not great training material chump. It's rich to see the same people crying about taking people's guns now want guns. Better to think liberals gun owners that have never used a gun talk about life long gun owners whose kids could even smoke you. Lol. Rookie.

In other festive COVID news from Canada: >Canada's Justin Trudeau on the unvaccinated: >“They don’t believe in science/progress and are very often misogynistic and racist....This leads us, as a leader and as a country, to make a choice: Do we tolerate these people?" https://twitter.com/KevinBardosh/status/1476838517007257600 My patience with COVID cultists is starting to run quite thin.

Can you define “don’t work”? The study I linked to shows some effect, even in omicron. I’m kind of confused.

Where’s the omicron data? I specifically said omicron. I don’t see anything that shows omicron especially since it’s only prevalent in the US in the last few weeks. Ahhh never mind. You didn’t actually read the data. You just scanned through it. If you look look more thoroughly it doesn’t address omicron at all. The last data I could see was from December 14. Omicron was not prevalent at that point, delta was. The va…

it's unlikely anybody has truly actionable data about the vaccine and omicron yet, but companies that produce vaccines are already working against omicron targets.

No, they can believe what they want as far as I’m concerned. Completely physically excluding them from society is enough. If they want to ‘protect’ themselves from the vaccine they have that right, absolutely, but the rest of us also have the right to protect ourselves from them.

These policies are punitive - they are not based on science. There is no science demonstrating that withholding unemployment reduces transmission rates.

There is social science indicating that employment mandates increase vaccination rates. There is science indicating that vaccines reduce transmission rates.

Regardless, this is a different point than the original comment.

Isn't the vaccine supposed to provide that protection from (catching Covid from) them?
