RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust > Why does the Government say we NEED a new Flu shot

Why does the Government say we NEED a new Flu shot

every year?    If the flu can mutate so much in one year that requires us to need a "new" flu shot.....

Then what about the Covid-19 variants?  

Just my Tin Foil Hat thinking/wondering.

The answer is very clear.  Glad to help. The info is unknown and unknowable at this time. We will have early hints within 15 months  but it will be several years before we have complete info. The flu shot, even with modifications each year, is only zero to 50% effective.  The effectiveness varies each year. There is no need for a flu shot this winter as  isolation and masks ...more

Yeah, that's what preventing any spread of the flu? Then why is it not preventing the spread of "covid"?
Comment by gashole on Jan 23, 2021 8:10am
It is preventing the spread of covid... imagine the number of cases without preventative measures.. I think there are a lot of false positives in the testing.. I dont think as many people actually have it as much as they claim.. However it does spread MUCH easier than the flu.... I havent had a flu shot since I was a kid, and I have not had the flu that I can remember in over 20 years... Lets just ...more

Gas I have no position on REI. Have you seen the forecast from England. It appears that new variant is more deadly and infectious.  most of the pipelines have gone down quite a lot, I have large positon in SRU.UN.  Vacciantion rollout have been disaster so far in Canada and finally Trudeau wants to quarntinee people at hotel at their expense which is good but 10 months too late.   ...more

Sapho, very interesting how you are so bullish on SRU.UN yet so doom and gloom everywhere else, why wouldn't you sell your "large position in SRU.UN" if you truly believe what you are saying, there are simply 2 answers, your short here or you want shares here. Stop being a hypocrite fear monger like turdo and company.
Comment by Sapho on Jan 24, 2021 11:26am
I live norht of city and there are more SRU than REI. Cutting div by Ed which made some business sense. I decided to go for yeild in SRU.  I am also very bullish in pipelines (KEY, PPL and ENB) but will trim my positons.  REI is an excellent company but as i stated long ago, I am not a big fan of REITS. I will stay with SRU as once the nightmare is over  retail REITS will do fine ...more

I get the yield thing with SRU... but I have been burned so many times chasing yield over the years its not funny... SRU could cut, HR and REI wont be.. I would rather get a 95% safe 5.5% yield than a 60% safe 7.5% yield.. I do own SRU, but a lesser amount than rei and Hr as I do believe there is some risk with the SRU dividend being cut, they will likely hold it... but its just the way I do ...more

I did get burned badly in ALA whiich was solid company before buying the utility company in US. Chasing yield is bad but I thinkk SRU will hold the yeild. I do not think any of the pipeline like KEY, PPL and ENB will cut div either. Banks prefered shares is my biggest position. I stay away from REITS with low volumes like BTB.  Thanks for SIA tip,. i got in at 13.09. 
Comment by gashole on Jan 24, 2021 12:04pm
SIA, ya, I have done well on that one... Got in around $9 originally and traded and held etc, now have been holding for a while 10k shares......... SRU probably wont cut... pipelines even less likely in my opinion. 
Comment by Sapho on Jan 24, 2021 11:43am
What do u mean everywhere else???? check my posting.. I seldom post on KEY, ENB and PPL due to trolls that give each other thumps up. Check my posts it is easy to do  otherwise SFTU,. 
Comment by Shirtlessnomore on Jan 24, 2021 1:14pm
Everywhere else is not what I meant. I meant here, but the incredibly ignorant response is funny, guarenteed it wouldnt happen in real life lol.
Comment by Shirtlessnomore on Jan 23, 2021 10:42am
Yes your right gas, what are we doing if we are to continue life this way? What's the point of hard work? Why invest? Why throw your hard earned money into turdo and tory and fords plan? Why have a child to live in this? People actually believe due to the narrative on tv and media "were doing this now to enjoy life later" for many there is no "later" for many their ...more

Yeah I remember what dr tam said. All these politicians are ###holes. They have separate agendas of their own they don't give a carp about us for the most part.. I mean look at Walmart and Costco they are raking it in while the little guy like me suffers... im streesed out but not really suffering but there are a lot of people who are... maybe people who have not been in business as long as I ...more

Cheers buddy, looks interesting, wish you gl going forward, hoping for some common sense moves in the real near future.
Comment by Shirtlessnomore on Jan 23, 2021 11:30pm
You know gas, the more I think about just how groundbreaking that potentially could be, I mean those numbers are pretty staggering considering how little any side effect potential could be. I'd definitely feel comfortable taking that, whereas I want nothing to do with the vaccine experiment. I'm sure our politicians will find a way tho to either completely ignore this and sweep the ...more

Lets see if it becomes bigger news.. its huge actually.. 
Comment by gashole on Jan 22, 2021 5:32pm
It's definitely going to take some time to truly figure out whether the covid-19 virus will be with us long term or not and they have to tweak the vaccine and it becomes a yearly thing to get the vaccine.. which is very possible
