Also why is there no talk of natural immunity? Those who've successfully defeated covid naturally should be given priority, front of the line treatment so to speak. Right this way sir! They are not a risk to anyone.
The best part about being a "conspiracy theorist" is not having myocarditis.
Roses are red, violets are blue, taxation is theft, inflation is too.
The risk of "natural immunity" being recognized equal to vaccinations will result in anti-vaxxers infecting each other at "COVID parties" and needlessly putting pressure on the health care system.I agree with Fox here. A rare meeting of the minds?

Alberta COVID party sends several people to hospital with virus

EDSON, Alta. – A party west of Edmonton has landed several people in the hospital with COVID-19, sources have confirmed to CityNews.
And this was no ordinary party–it was a “COVID party”, where guests tried to intentionally get the virus to “build up natural immunity” without getting vaccinated.
One source told CityNews that the Edson party, which happened about two weeks ago, had sent some people to the local hospital. A number of Edmonton ICU cases also come from the party.
The gathering was similar to chickenpox parties where children were intentionally exposed to the virus, but University of Alberta virology expert Dr. Lorne Tyrrell says COVID-19 is much deadlier.
“It’s just unbelievable. And it’s very sad and very irresponsible to think you’d get good immunity from the virus without getting serious disease,” he said.
“[COVID-19] carries a mortality rate around two per cent but also we’ve got all the long-COVID people who’ve been infected and have had symptoms for a long period of time.”
The idea of natural herd immunity has been prevalent recently. Albertan country singer Paul Brandt made headlines after he posted on social media that he didn’t need to be vaccinated because he already had the virus.
Brandt later tweeted that after conversations with medical experts, he reversed course on the decision.
Tyrrell says this kind of misinformation on immunity can lead to deadly consequences.
“We thought originally that if we had 70 to 80 per cent of people vaccinated, we’d slow up this pandemic. But with the delta variant being more easily transmissible, we need to see herd immunity to get closer to 90 or 93 per cent.”
CityNews reached out to Alberta Health Services for comment on the Edson party, Edson case numbers, and concerns around intentionally contracting COVID-19.
“People who are hosting or attending these parties not only put themselves at risk of serious illness or death, but are adding stress to the health-care system, which in turn may prevent other Albertans from getting the care they need,” said the newly-appointed Alberta health minister, Jason Copping, in a statement.
“COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise, largely in unvaccinated Albertans.”
And to counter:
Dated same day...23 Sept...
https://edmonton.ctvnews.ca/irrespon...ties-1.5598653Alberta Health is investigating whether an Edson party advertising itself as a “get COVID” event to build up natural immunity to the virus actually happened.
CTV News was unable to confirm a report that multiple Edson residents were sent to ICU after deliberately trying to infect themselves with COVID-19 at a party.
“I don’t know anything about this party other than what I’ve heard and seen in the news,” Dr. Everett Zdrill said.
It’s not known how the six contracted the virus.
Kevin Zahara, mayor of Edson, said in a tweet that the city was not aware of any such party occurring.
On Thursday, Chief Medical Officer of Health Dr. Deena Hinshaw couldn’t confirm whether such party ever took place, but had stern words for anyone considering holding such gatherings where the goal is to get COVID-19.

Reported and officials running for cover is no surprise. How hard did they look? Historically, "chickenpox parties" were held to infect other children in a neighbourhood. Making "natural immunity" the equivalent of vaccination would embolden anti-vaxxers to start swapping spit with the infected.
So much fail in your posts....total fail, with zero facts
Let this sink in

It wouldn’t be equal to the vaccinated, because as we have seen over 40% of new cases are from vaccinated. Ergo the vax passport is redundant.
The only type of ‘passport’ or proof that makes any sense therefore would be proof of previous infection/antibodies.
Ding Ding..we have a winner....a positive 'Serology' trumps the now obsolete QR code..
