@bradcanning875 The rest of us want them removed based on science.
The people who yell "Follow the Science!" are also the ones who are appallingly ignorant of even the most rudimentary COVID data and statistics they could easily look up for themselves. They seem to think only the talking heads on the six o'clock news are allowed to see the data, and blindly trust whatever those talking heads say.
The "Follow the Science!" crowd don't know, for example, that in Canada in 2020, suicide, transportation accidents, and diabetes all claimed the lives of more Canadians under the age of 60 than did COVID. (The exact numbers according to Statistics Canada: 2,880; 1,153; 918; and 528 respectively. Yes, there were over five times as many suicide deaths as COVID deaths of those under 60.)
(For a supposedly highly contagious and dangerous virus, shouldn't its body count be far higher than those causes?)
The "Follow the Science!" crowd don't know, for example, that in Ontario over the last 30 days, the number of fully vaccinated and fully vaccinated with a booster people admitted to hospital due to COVID was DOUBLE that of unvaccinated persons (3,787 vs. 1,938).
The "Follow the Science!" crowd don't know, for example, that in Ontario over the last 60 days, the number of fully vaccinated and fully vaccinated with a booster people who died from COVID was NEARLY DOUBLE that of unvaccinated persons (890 vs. 462).
(These figures are from Table 3a and 4a in the Public Health Ontario report "Confirmed Cases of COVID-19 Following Vaccination in Ontario: December 14, 2020 to January 30, 2022".)
The "Follow the Science!" crowd don't know, for example, that in Ontario over the 654 days of the pandemic from May 1, 2020, onward, the number of EMPTY beds in ICUs exceeded the number occupied by COVID on 557 of those days (85% of the time).
The "Follow the Science!" crowd don't know, for example, that in Ontario over the 654 days of the pandemic from May 1, 2020, onward, the FEWEST empty ICU beds there ever were was on Jan. 13, 2021, when there were 320 empty ICU beds (there were 408 COVID patients and 1,408 other patients in ICU beds that day). That's 15% of total beds in the province UNOCCUPIED. That's the lowest the empty ICU capacity ever got.
(How could it ever have been a health care crisis when so many ICU beds were sitting EMPTY and ready for use? Why, it almost seems as if the politicians and journalists and public health officials were LYING.)
Given these example,s and so many more I could cite, why on earth should I listen to anyone in the "Follow the Science!" camp when they are so ignorant of official primary source data which shows the talking heads on the six o'clock news are WRONG or even LYING? My patience for such people is exhausted, and I will no longer play nice with the willfully ignorant who outsource their thinking to the six o'clock news.
