  1. Military duty is mandatory in South Korea.

  2. Not at all. Especially with respect to RSV. There is no vaccine for RSV.

  3. With respect to RSV, there is no vaccine. Vaccine rates for COVID-19 and the flu is quite low in children.

  4. The vaccine rate in children is quite low compared to adults.

  5.  @williambalyx1053  We are two years in and over 13 billion doses have been administered.

  6.  @williambalyx1053  The mRNA technology will be used to create vaccines for cancer. That was the original purpose of that research until COVID-19 happened. I bet that no one would turn down a vaccine for cancer.

  7.  @williambalyx1053  I did answer the question. Vaccine uptake in kids is low compared to adults. The implication of the opening comment is that vaccines are not safe. That is obviously not true.

  8. Communism is the economic system where the government owns the means of production. Even Russia is not a communist country.

  9. The "face diapers" and other health measures helped. Vaccines have been available for two years. The majority has spoken by getting vaccinated. It is time to move on. We should not need to mandate anything going forward. Anyone who is not vaccinated yet is probably not going to be. Unvaccinated losers who die from COVID-19 get what they deserve.

  10. Canada scored the top spot in "Quality of Life" and "Social Purpose," too. It looks like our country gained some serious bragging rights this year according to the 2021 "Best Countries in the World" U.S. News report, where Canada ranked number one overall.

  11. Military duty is mandatory in South Korea. No exceptions.

  12. COVID-19 and flu vaccine uptake is quite low in children. There is no vaccine for RSV.

  15. I don't think that we need restrictions any longer. However, those annoying restrictions saved many lives. You should acknowledge that. The incessant whining about health measures, the ridiculous conspiracy theories about COVID-19 and the misinformation about the vaccines is tiresome. Anyone who is unvaccinated and suffers the negative consequences of COVID-19 gets exactly what they deserve. Those who are still unvaccinated are probably not going to be. We can't wait forever. It's definitely time to move on.

  16. Canada's response to the pandemic (following health measures and getting vaccinated) has been quite successful based on the only measure that counts: deaths. US deaths from COVID-19: over one million. Canadian deaths from COVID-19: over 45,000. To date, 84% of Canadians are fully vaccinated compared to 68% of Americans. "About 40,000 Americans died of Covid this summer. That toll means that Covid is continuing to kill many more people each day than vehicle crashes, gun violence, the flu or many other health threats." NYT

  18.  @punkinhoot  That is completely nonsensical. "There have been concerns by some parents that they don't want their kids wearing masks because they believe their child will be inhaling their own carbon dioxide with prolonged mask wearing and that will cause oxygen deprivation. Some say that children will inhale up to six times the safe limit of carbon dioxide. Let me help clear the air on this one. It's not true. Here's the science behind the truth. Carbon dioxide poisoning or hypercapnia from re-breathing the air we normally breathe out doesn't happen because carbon dioxide molecules are extremely small, even smaller than the respiratory droplets, which is what we are protecting against when we wear the masks. They cannot be trapped by cloth or medical masks or any sort of breathable fabric. Those tiny molecules just pass right through the material. Surgeons, nurses, respiratory therapists, all of us in the medical profession, in fact, wear our masks for hours and hours during the day. Studies done by having surgeons wear oxygen monitors during their entire time in the operating rooms show that masks have no effect on the amount of oxygen they have in their bodies." Utah Healthcare

  19. Agreed. The "face diapers" and other health measures helped. Vaccines have been available for two years. The majority has spoken by getting vaccinated. It is time to move on.

  20. This quote is from someone who downplayed the pandemic and promoted ridiculous treatments during his time in office. He changed his tune when he realized that his unvaccinated followers were dying from COVID-19. "The vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind,” Trump said. “I came up with a vaccine — with three vaccines — all are very, very good … in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years.” “And if you take the vaccine, you’re protected," Trump went on. "The results of the vaccine are very good. And if you do get it, it’s a very minor form. People aren’t dying when they take their vaccine. The vaccine worked, but some people aren’t taking it,” he said. “The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones who don’t take their vaccine.”
