I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.guess they get to meet their maker sooner rather than later.
all dead were non-vaxxed.
6 members of one Florida church died from COVID-19 in 10 days according to its pastor, who is encouraging people to get vaccinated
"Four of them were under the age of 35. All of them were healthy and the only thing they had in common was they were not vaccinated," the pastor said.www.yahoo.com

Explainer: Beyond Delta, scientists are watching new coronavirus variants
The continued spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus has spawned a Greek alphabet of variants - a naming system used by the World Health Organization (WHO) to track concerning new mutations of the virus that causes COVID-19. Some have equipped the virus with better ways of infecting humans or evading...
Excerpts:
"Chinese researchers found that people infected with Delta carry 1,260 times more virus in their noses compared with the original version of the coronavirus. Some U.S. research suggests that the "viral load" in vaccinated individuals who become infected with Delta is on par with those who are unvaccinated, but more research is needed".
"While the original coronavirus took up to seven days to cause symptoms, Delta can cause symptoms two to three days faster, giving the immune system less time to respond and mount a defense. Delta also appears to be mutating further, with reports emerging of a "Delta Plus" variant, a sub-lineage that carries an additional mutation that has been shown to evade immune protection".
The Lambda variant has attracted attention as a potential new threat. But this version of the coronavirus, first identified in Peru in December, may be receding, several infectious disease experts told Reuters.
The WHO classifies Lambda as a variant of interest, meaning it carries mutations suspected of causing a change in transmissibility or causing more severe disease, but it is still under investigation. Lab studies show it has mutations that resist vaccine-induced antibodies.
Dr. Eric Topol, a professor of molecular medicine and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute in La Jolla, California, said the percentage of new Lambda cases reported to GISAID, a database that tracks SARS-CoV-2 variants, has been dropping, a sign that the variant is waning.
"In a recent call with the CDC, disease experts said Lambda did not appear to be causing increased transmissibility, and vaccines appear to be holding up well against it, said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious diseases expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center who attended the discussion.
B.1.621 - ONE TO WATCH
The B.1.621 variant, which first arose in Colombia in January, where it caused a major outbreak, has yet to earn a Greek letter name.
The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control has listed it as a variant of interest, while Public Health England describes B.1.621 as a variant under investigation. It carries several key mutations, including E484K, N501Y and D614G, that have been linked with increased transmissibility and reduced immune protection. So far, there have been 37 likely and confirmed cases in the UK, according to a recent government report, and the variant has been identified in a number of patients in Florida".
"Even so, a key issue is that the current vaccines block severe disease but do not prevent infection, said Dr. Gregory Poland, a vaccine scientist at the Mayo Clinic. That is because the virus is still capable of replicating in the nose, even among vaccinated people, who can then transmit the disease through tiny, aerosolized droplets.
To defeat SARS-CoV-2, he said, will likely require a new generation of vaccines that also block transmission. Until then, the world will remain vulnerable to the rise of new coronavirus variants, according to Poland and other experts".

Actually I don’t think any services should be withheld at a hospital but if the shit hits the fan and choices need to be made then it is what it is and vaccinated folks have a better survival rate. I CONDONE taking the vaccine as the advice is (science and medical) it helps. To pull bullshit, cherry picked “studies” up and post them is dangerous and the fight back is somewhat warranted IMO.

They clutch their pearls when you wish death on them even though their ignorance has probably killed dozens of others.
I find the word “retard” offensive but I’ve come to accept it as a fitting description of these people. Perhaps even an understatement.

The way I see it, most of the unvaxxed in Canada are younger working people and students, hence the lower vaxx rates out west and in Ontario and high vaxx rates in the Maritimes with an older demographic. Experts expect the mRNA vaccines or one of them to come out of EUA in early September in the USA and Canada, this will lead to school college and employer mandates. Since most of the unvaxxed adults are either students or working, I expect the vaxx rate to go up considerably by the end of October.
There will be plenty of howling and complaining and relief among some of the unvaxxed, they can say they were made to do it, when they really wanted to anyway. From what we've seen so far, I expect very high compliance with private and government mandates.
