You seem to have no compunction about playing the immunocompromised card when suggesting how even vaccinated people should continue wearing masks in public. Then there was your post which as near I as could tell, suggested that everyone should be vaccinated for every disease regardless of their personal beliefs. Then we read a message suggesting that a poster implied that immunocompromised people should be considered dispensable. I think the phrase "not vanishingly rare unicorns and therefore dispensable" was your wording.

During a pandemic, it makes sense to protect as much as we can, no?
So, wearing masks and get the maximum people vaccinated actually make sense.
And, I don't know for Canada, but in France, some vaccine are MANDATORY. So, out the personal beliefs, in favor of the general interest. They were 3 and were updated to a list of 11 in 2018.

You cannot tell very far, because it's been left to the appreciation of the provinces. And not all of them decided to prioritize the same way nor at the same time.
BC might have clear recommendations, here in Ontario everything is chaotic and painful. And Quebec was not better at some point. Same for eastern provinces.

This may keep a disease from becoming an epidemic but it does not miraculously grant the unvaccinated immunity. A number much beloved by politicians who likely would not know the difference between R, Rₑ, and Rₜ nor be concerned about those differences.

You conveniently left the explanation of "hysterical" where meeera was in her right in explaining the misogynistic root of this word.

If it was that fun, maybe you should check your privileges.
