Very disappointed none of them had the balls to call their vaccine Ivermektin or something.

Comirnaty is just a straight up garbage name that's a pain to pronounce, though.

Alledgedly Ken Lee has signed up 4,000 new PC party memberships that are mostly PPC types. The last PC leadership was in 2006(Brian Pallister was acclimated as leader in 2012) and that only had 9000 total votes so get ready for a close rear end race that everyone thought was a lay up for Heather Stefanson.

They didn't let Ken Lee on the ballot for some reason so it's a two horse race

I think that literally every pronounceable name has already been taken so they've gotta go with unpronounceable insanity if they want to differentiate their product sufficiently. Sometimes the brand names are even worse than the generic names - like, one of the investigational agents for COVID-19 was tocilizumab, which is branded as Actemra, neither of which are easy to say in any known language.

Worse than Vaxzevria? I think not.

Also the FDA announced the Pfizer/Moderna names a while ago but Vaxzevria is new to me and I definitely think it's the worst of the bunch. How many words can you think of with 'xz' in them?

I'm getting a really bad feeling RE: the PPC and CPC. There's a lot of people voting for them that you'd never suspect of it unless they trust you or feel that you wouldn't judge them for their decisions. I'm hearing from coworkers and suppliers at my job how they're voting PPC because they feel that the Canadian government has failed in it's primary functions, is too big, corrupt or is overreaching so they just wanna burn the whole thing down and weaken the federal govt's influence over local affairs. I think the polls are highly misleading regarding how much support the PPC will get. Like one of my good friends is a civil engineer and a partner in a boutique firm that does water related projects and he thinks the government is garbage because of their interference in efficient water works projects and other details. He hates Trudeau with a passion and thinks he's being to authoritarian over individual rights and thinks a lot of the climate change regs are just unnecessary taxes on regular people and that the govt doesn't offer proper solutions like nuclear energy or a well thought out replacement plan for fossil fuels. So he's voting CPC for the first time in his life because he doesn't think the govt can do anything correctly so it must be destroyed rather than reformed.

I’m right next to the atrium that leads to the ICU in red deer. They were drawing from a small pool of beds stored there and were last night down to 2.

This morning I woke up and is full Of spare beds.

Saskatchewan won't take anyone they've got their own crisis to deal with and they're putting in a vaccine passport system with details coming in about an hour.

Cue Kenney yelling that nobody will help his province and getting pissed off that Trudeau is rescuing Albertans.

That's awful, I share your hope.

Anyone unvaccinated and eligible should be at the absolute arse-end of triage. Like, you'll get seen by a doctor once we've dealt with this patient who's presented with a nasty hangnail. And you'll get kicked right the gently caress out of that bed if hangnail dude decides he'd like your bed to put his feet up on while he recovers. You don't want modern science? Good, go cough your lungs out in the forest, you thick gently caress!

gently caress, that's terrible. If your cousin is comfortable, she should consider sharing her story - for some reason people aren't getting that a total health care system collapse isn't just killing antivaxxers, it's killing people who are unable to access care. And those people aren't likely to be included in reports of the UCP death toll.

I mean after Annamie Paul straight up said she was considering resigning before the election even happened that was basically a message to every Green candidate across the country that it's time to GTFO and bail because the party leader is running for the exit ahead of you.

I just wanted to check my latest covid test status, gently caress. The way it’s working for me right now is awful, it puts me in line, then I check back in an hour and I’ve missed the 5 minute window. 3 times today.

Also, yes, gently caress the anti-vaxxers. Someone should make a DNR petition for those fucks, they’ll gladly sign it.
