“Look at the graph, it’s safe”……. I’ll wait till the outcome of the 3rd clinical blind trials.
Only trust scientists that are not working for big pharmaceutical or big agriculture,,,,,,,,,
Everybody trust the government funded tv host! He must be telling the truth😂
lol😂
Scientists are one of two groups that should be only let out of their homes only on a leash. The other is politicians.
Why not discuss the report from John Hopkins about mandates, lockdowns, social segregation and vaxports being useless???
@luciano pietrantonio Actually can you name the countless countries that have adopted a different strategy, with positive outcomes. ??
@Tone Japan,Norway,UK,Africa,Florida not a country but it is as big as some of them,Texas, same thing, India, and there’s probably more.
@DissonantOhm All of those countries have had lockdowns, mandates and restrictions…. everyone of them!!! Only Japan has had a better outcome (deaths per 100k population) then Canada of the list that you presented . Japan had more serious lockdowns than what was in Canada. They would actually track your phone, via an app. Check the data and you will see…
@Linda L. I notice you did not say how potentially fatal. Is that because you don’t know? Or is it because you are appealing to emotional rather than factual arguments?
Did you know?
In 2020, more than five times as many Canadians under the age of 60 died from suicide (2,880) than died from COVID (528). That’s from Statistics Canada’s own data.
For a supposedly highly contagious and dangerous virus, shouldn’t its body count be far above that of suicide?
@Linda L. simply end all mandate. Let human immune system deal with it. the weak stay at home if they-have to
Why should anyone trust a stranger?
Sometimes a stranger with knowledge wisdom and ethics is much more trustworthy than an ignorant family member stuck in their ignorant principles
@Liz Liz 👈 Ad-bot
You trust strangers hundreds of times each day. That is how a healthy society functions.
“Everyone knows…”
I object, leading the witness…
that’s all they do
Climate history proves that the climate change is nothing to worry about.
Did the dinosaurs tell you that? 🤣😂🤣
Yeah stupid scientists, I did my own research online and Bob the plumber/carpenter says they’re full if crap.
@Liz Liz That’s funny
these arent the droids we’re looking for
he can go about his business
move along
Why would we trust without seeing the evidence , is it science or religion ?
Science starts with questions and skepticism on everything which is why true scientists can disagree. If scientific results can be contradictory, then believing “scientists” as a generality doesn’t make logical sense.
They say Look at this graph haha. But don’t pay attention to who contacted or funded the study. And don’t pay attention to any studies that don’t have the same results as their graph.
Scientists are like the weatherman. “Expect to see 20 cm of snow. A blizzard is coming our way.” Only receives 2 cm of snow.
Just report the fact findings with source. I will make my own decision
Gee, I thought flip, flop Fauci was “THE SCIENCE”!!
We are Canadians, why are you talking about an American???
Science involves changing your mind to reflect the evidence. According to your logic Fauci shouldn’t have corrected himself and should have died on the hill of not masking
It’s not that we don’t trust scientists…..it’s that we trust scientists that don’t agree with you

Unfortunately there will always be an impressionable pocket of the population influenced against doing the right thing in the wake of a crisis.
It’s hilarious some scientists believe they can stand for the science
