Mid-season? That there is fine post season "loading up for a cup run" form.

Not fair- there are many reasons why people don't get the vaccine:

mRNA explanation for the win!

In all seriousness- get vaxxed, it's the smart thing to do.

I know- I am just waiting for him to show up in this thread, Verbal Guns ablazin'.

Oh wow- nice spike in vaccinations: Manitoba recorded another 24,279 #COVID19 vaccine doses. That's awesome.

To be fair, the TPR usually comes out after the initial roll out of new cases. Knee jerk reaction- I find myself dispirited when I see the new case numbers rise and have to remind myself to actively search out the TPR and the tests performed (I wish they would include a five day average of daily testing). They should have done that a few weeks ago when it was approved to mix vaccines.... Doesn't seem like an issue though- the Moderna looks to be ok'd for 12-17 yo by the end of the week.

TPR went down, so I wouldn't really worry too much about the higher numbers of new cases. I am more worried about people using work arounds to fake 2 dose proof. I feel there should be a HEAVY penalty for those scoff-laws.

Yeah- that would have been my suggestion, but moot point. End of the week though... strong possibility of Moderna being ok'd for 12-17 yrs old

Are you scheduled for Pfizer shot on July 3rd?

That's awesome (should have been sooner, but hey- safety and all). @itchy daughter might be able to be doubly vaxxed sooner.

one dose mRNA vaccine against Delta variant= 33% efficacy. two dose mRNA vaccine against delta Variant = 84%-88% efficacy. Delta will be the dominant strain in a little over a month. Go get Moderna and be safe. Mixing is fine.

THe province should have staffed more on the phones and maybe included a pop up chat feature on the covid appointment website (like on all the telecom companies' web sites). Put more resources in effective communication for all things covid vax related.

What's even nuttier... Moderna is ~2-4% more efficacious than Pfizer... We should be reserving the Pfizer shots for 12-17 year olds...

Yup- there is also the Delta Plus variant... Some crazy scary **** coming down the pipeline... I know you are not too fond of Eric Feigl-Ding, but he's pretty on the ball with the newest data.

So... it looks like the delta variant is going to swamp the USA in a month.

Today I learned a very elegant way to wrap one's head around big numbers:

Interesting article on the weaponization of "Smokescreen Trolling" (or the “authoritarian mullet”: culture wars in the front, attacks against democracy in the back.)

100% intentional.

A little information on the vaccine divide. TLDW: Pandemic will end when it becomes people over profit.

My suggestion is to hit the mom and pop pharmacies. My first shot was done at one, the were one of the last places to fill up

Today, I learned that @SpeedFlex27is a cranky old man, 😁🤣 Just kidding Speed, the set up was too good not to take.

In a better place than MB? Absolutely. That is a a low bar... we have the highest ingrown rate north of the Mexican border. But what is happening in the UK is a glimpse of what is gong to happen, unless something different is done. Throwing the province wide open with only 25% of the population being fully vaccinated... that is not learning from other's mistakes.

Whoa, Did Kenny just announce that Alberta is lifting ALL restrictions Canada day? With only 25% people fully vaccinated? This is not going to end well. Hello 4th wave Alberta. Madness.
