  1. If you can’t answer yes or no to the question asked about whether or not forced vaccinations should happen it can be used to say you truly don’t believe they work.

    1. @Quarter Pounder we live in the generation of increased knowledge RESOURCES, but not always increased knowledge, moreover, knowledge is not the same thing as intelligence. We also live in an era of interpretation and perspective, so I have no idea what your interpretation of that word is

    1. @Daniyal Khizaryou’re a petulant child who knows nothing of the adult world. Think before you speak

    2. @Buck Ó Donnghaile if you don’t agree with the rules of a country, then leave instead of pointlessly arguing and protesting

    1. That’s because you expect absolute answers when there are none. Change has been happening at an ever increasing pace for the last 200 years. Most don’t see it because they’re understandably too focused on their own lives.

  2. I am unvaccinated and I tested positive for covid 2 days ago. My symptoms were: mild headaches, feeling of low energy, chills.
    It’s 48 hours later now and I feel almost fully recovered. I have my energy back, chills are gone and that mild headache is almost gone too.
    I have had hangovers that were much worse then this “pandemic”.

    1. @hemant bhanot it means if you’re not fat and have buffered vitamin D levels, that you’re significantly less likely to become really sick with COVID.

    2. @Damian Mensch please re read what you just wrote …. Read it again… now sit down and think real hard about your words… the ones you wrote

    3. @Damian Mensch I am sorry for your loss Damian. However please realize that what could have helped your uncle may not work for others. And while a untimely passing is tragic one has to have the spine to take responsibility for themselves. If someone never maintains their car and it breaks down or crashes it is not the fault of the car, weather or what have you. Same for the human body, and then even time has a way.

    1. @CJ Lauziere …forgive me. After review, it’s the United States congress that must disclose trades. Canadians only have to report expenses.

    2. @TourCaddie Haha. Yeah, so we have the potential to be even more corrupt than our American counterparts, with their preferred “Insider Trader” model. It’s Sad.

    1. @Henry lhd remember they said 80% we would go back to normal it’s passed that and it still not normal what makes u think even 100% vax will go back to normal?

    2. @Ballsdeep YEHH!!! agreed, I believe they said 80% was the number we needed and I am 100% AGAINST mandatory vax. I just believe natural immunity should end this at some point.

    3. @Henry lhd It should in a typical pandemic, I agree with you. But it’s not going to because this is not about a pandemic.

  3. My entire family has it including my 8 year old who destroyed the virus in 24 hours. We have dry coughs, headaches, and tired. The symptoms resemble my seasonal allergies.

    1. I sincerely hope you are right, Johnny Hamncheese, but it seems like there is so much compliance with all the existing mandates….

    2. it might happen…under some emergency authorization. in austria they will charge the unvaccinated up to $12k euro per year or $4000 per 3 months

    3. I’m sure the Australians, Austrians and others in “democratic/free” societies were surprised at how quickly things changed in their countries with draconian measures.

  4. 1:16 – ‘vaccines are ‘ineffective'(!!) Oh boy did she slip up there. I had to do a double take on that one.

  5. Our government’s responsibility to prepare our health care system over the past two years should not be transposed to the unvaccinated. Blaming others for one’s own incompetence is not a hallmark of true government leadership.

  6. As soon as she starts speaking she says “vaccines are ineffective, um effective means of controlling this” believe her true beliefs accidentally spoke through. Hahaha
