The stupidity of the anti-vaxx nutcases

There’s a few cases like this in the states, and they’re being paraded by the likes of Fox News to show how evil the government/medical establishment is. But it’s standard procedure really, they prioritise organs (which are in short supply) for people most likely to have a beneficial life from them. Not having the vaccine reduces this likelihood, hence people dropping down the priority list. Even in the fucked up hypercapitalist US you still can’t buy yourself priority on this.

I was interested to hear that getting vaccinated now would provide some sort of immune response that would be of value post-surgery when they would be on immuno-supressants for the rest of their lives ...

Azothioprine is a common one for transplant patients, which basically limits your T-cell responses. I’m on the same drug for Crohns hence one of the reasons I’m considered CEV. They’ll need frequent boosters to improve their chances.
 
I know a number of people who are traditionally Conservative voters in Canada, and it's embarrassing to see them scramble to make excuses for what went on.

I try to explain a simple rule to them: If there's nazis at your rally and you don't kick them out, it's a nazi rally.
 
They have been blocking one of the border crossings between Alberta and the States.
Their actions have cut a town off from food and medical supplies and forcing schools to close.
They are also preventing cross boarder traffic resulting in truckers not being able to bring food and supplies across the border.

Finally, the RCMP stepped in to try to break up the blockage.
The article explains how the RCMP are being targeted and the blockage continues.



Ottawa is also being protested by truckers, and the police are afraid to step in. They say any action would be the equivalent of pouring gas on a fire.
If the reaction to the Alberta crisis is anything to go by, they are correct.

The city of Ottawa is under siege from these yahoos.....communities are being blasted with trucker horns at all hours of the night, ambulances are being pelted with rocks, the downtown core is closed - businesses are closed as are schools, daycares and hospitals.

The protesters are claiming they are restoring freedoms, but the are not.
