RE:RE:RE:Ever wonder what happens when 85% of Alberta is vaxxed? Nukester please do not bring the vaccine debate to this board.

In fact mass vaccinations (with a leaky vaccine) are the prime suspect in the creation of the numerous variants (Delta etc.) not to mention "Antibody-Dependent Enhancement" (Pro tip: You want to look "ADE" up :-)
If vaccinations were the solution, than break-through infections among the vaccinated would be virtually non existent, (Not the case, review the Singapore, Israel, etc data). Vaccinations are at best a short term tool to lower extreme outcomes of the disease. (Not exactly a noble argument when one reviews the adverse reaction data globally vs. age related survability, long story).
Vaccinations are also a tool being used by political actors hoping to increase power and wealth (Let no crisis go to waste), as well as a tool of corporate leaders hoping to restore cash flows and rebuild balance sheets etc.
While I too hope this nightmare ends and Gamehost starts paying divvy's, I am unable to agree that history will show vaccinations to have played a definitive role in ending the pandemic. In my opinion, this pandemic will end the old fashioned way. After millions of deaths among the weakest in society, the virus will mutate itself into something humanity can live with. (not very cheerful or poetic, but realsitic).
Your mileage may vary :-)
