Ah yes, I forget, there's bigger things at play here that mean we'll never experience true freedom again and will forever remain in lockdown.

Let's leave those sorts of remarks at the door OK? We discussed it previously and had it out at that time. There's no evidence to suggest there's something more sinister going on that would mean us remaining in lockdown for the rest of our lives despite vaccine rollout.

Well I would say that the smallpox and polio vaccines (to name just two) were quite a cause of celebration.
Isn't the smallpox vaccine considered the "most dangerous vaccine known to man"?[/quote]

This is copied from Wiki - Center for Disease Control and Prevention
Based on past experience, it is estimated that 1 to 2 people out of every 1 million people vaccinated
could
die as a result of life-threatening reactions to the smallpox vaccine.

About 30 of every 100 people infected with smallpox will die from the disease.

Don`t know if that quite qualifies as the most dangerous vaccine known to man



Anyway I think the kind of opinions that you have are very prevalent in quite a lot of people, especially those that are fairly young, pretty healthy and probably working from home, so can afford to be blase and scathing about the Covid virus and its effects

Sadly not so for the rest of us for whom it may present a clear and present danger

Are you fear mongering now? :P

I didn't say that, did I?

I said the lockdowns won't end just because people get the vaccine. The CDC, various governments, etc., have all said the exact same thing. Getting the vaccine doesn't mean an to the restrictions and regulations. It's not some wild conspiracy theory, it's literally what those in charge have been saying.

Do I need to cite a bunch of articles stating that claim? If you need citations, just ask, and I'll provide them. I'm not here making claims that I can't substantiate.
I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great! :)

And this is why I'm happy that your fears have been placated by getting the vaccine. It was an honest expression. I'm honestly happy that you feel less stressed out now. :)

Yet, you are being misleading to push your agenda, as usual.

We understand the propaganda techniques.

Of course an individual person getting vaccinated will not end lockdowns. When enough people are vaccinated, life will get back to normal and you will need another cause to champion.

And i am happy for her starting to get protection from the virus and careless people who do not care about others.

Sure, fear-mongering on fear-mongering :P

I think the rest of my post makes clear it was a sarcastic remark ;)

Yeah, they've said such remarks but I think you're trying to insinuate certain things that there's no evidence for. All of the public health bodies who have made such remarks have done so to make clear that an individual alone being vaccinated doesn't instantly lift their restrictions personally.

There doesn't seem to be a hard number of vaccinations that result in re-opening. E.g everything will instantly re-open the moment 80% of the population has been vaccinated.

It's probably going to be gradual and based on how things go. The intent behind the vaccine is to lesser the seriousness of the symptoms people experience. Given that is successful which hopefully it is, there's no reason at that point in time to suggest or think the public health measures will continue (whether it be an instant relaxation or gradual) and to suggest or insinuate any other intent is more speculation and then starts dipping into being conspiratorial.

What agenda do you think I'm pushing, and what do you believe I'm being misleading about?

You're literally repeating what I just said, in different words. The claims you say I'm "insinuating certain things" that have "no evidence for" are the claims that the CDC and others in charge are making, not me. They're the ones claiming that the vaccines won't end the lockdowns, not me. They're the ones pushing this with "no evidence", not me. Those are their claims, not mine.

Right, because the goal posts keep getting moved.

"Two weeks to slow the curve". Remember that?

Quebec is still under curfew, and it was only supposed to be "two weeks". That time came and passed, and they're still under curfew. They instituted the curfew because the claim was that the number of cases were going up. They extended the curfew because the claim was that the number of cases was going down. It doesn't seem to matter what the numbers say, the intent seems to be to extend the curfew, regardless of the impact or the lack of any scientific basis for the curfew. Whether the number of cases went up, or went down, the curfew would have been extended either way.

It's like they're giving people a false sense of hope, like "if the cases go down, we won't be under curfew anymore", when in reality, it didn't matter.

I don't know about Quebec but Ontario for example is now coming out of provincial lockdown since our case numbers have dropped a fair amount so we're switching back to the more regional framework again. So they're not keeping us in lockdown any longer than is necessary, although that's not without its criticism.

Obviously lockdowns are only effective to lower current case numbers / ICU admissions and serve as a temporary bandaid. My one issue I have right now is how badly Canada is doing with vaccine rollout. It's terrible.

But that said, you make sweeping statements such as "vaccines aren't going to end lockdowns" and rather than think realistically which is, yeah, until mostly everyone (or enough people) have been vaccinated to make a real difference will lockdowns / other measures be relaxed, you seem to imply that something more sinister might be going and then leave it up to those reading your comments to perhaps get more alarmed about it than necessary.
