In Ontario like many jurisdictions, the unvaccinated are required to submit to regular testing. University and college students who have declined the injections are required to show proof of a negative test every 72 hours in order to go to school. And it's the same for many workers. Fully vaccinated people are exempted from this requirement, even though they're not immune from catching and spreading covid around.
And yet, despite the fact that the fully vaccinated only make up a minority of the tests being done, they are responsible for most of the infections. While an unvaccinated person is often being tested every three days, those who are fully vaccinated have no reason to volunteer for a nasal colonostopy until they're actually sick and presenting symptoms of Covid.
And with Covid said to have a five day incubation period, that means infected people are out circulating in bars, restaurants, gyms, sporting events and other indoor settings for days before knowing they're infecting everyone around them. The vaccines also provide a false sense of security because people think they're like the old MMR and Polio shots that actually immunized people.
When was the last time you heard about over 700 infections of Polio or Measels in Ontario in a single day? The answer is never because the vaccines for those diseases work, a breakthrough infection was incredibly rare. Now it's hundreds every day, thousands per week, and that's just in Ontario.
Here's the reporting from Global News for Friday:
718 fully vaccinated people infected. That's nearly half of the reported 1,453 identified cases for the day, and more than the 613 cases identified in the majority of people being tested who are unvaccinated. The remaining cases were 26 for those thought to have been partially protected and another 96 in people with an unknown vaccination status.

I am fully aware that the data doesn't line up with the messaging, but numbers don't lie. Sadly with most of the population, when the science and the messaging contradict each other most will default to the messaging and not the facts.
It's a classic paradox. Everyone knows that politicians and public officials have routinely misreprented facts for our entire lifetimes, we joke about it even: "How do you know when politicians are lying"? Answer, when their lips move.
And yet despite knowing that we've been lied to our entire lives by public officials, now people are willing to toss out any semblance of critical thought or objective reasoning and will believe political talking points over empirical data and facts. It's almost cult like.
It's not without historical precedence however, it happens at times of great fear. We're coming up on two years now of persistent doom and gloom in the media, the never ending drama about: "The deadly coronavirus that's spreading out of control".
It's only natural that probably close to 90% of the population have been convinced that Covid is pretty much the bubonic plague, even those who don't know of a single younger healthy person dying, or even getting seriously ill and needing medical attention.
And now with 80 to 90% of the eligible population fully injected with the Covid shots we have people walking around spreading the virus, probably like never before. I for one will not be surprised to see the numbers really start blowing up. We're well into winter weather now which is when respiratory viruses have always been known to spread widely.
And I won't be surprised if governement officials stop reporting the vaccination status of those infected. When the facts and data don't support the messaging, it's not the messaging that gets abandoned, it's the data and the science that gets tossed in the bin.
Viruses spread, and the Covid-19 vaccines don't immunize and they don't prevent transmission. These aren't your Polio and MMR shots. Those worked.
