What's their justification for barring interactions between vaccinated employees and students? That they're going to leach "toxins" or give children dangerous ideas?

That particular nonsense, plus some added random wibble, undoubtedly taken on faith from the internet, that vaccinated individuals can cause fertility or menstrual problems in unvaccinated women.

Is it wrong that my first thought on reading:

Mrs Centner also repeated a false claim of vaccinated individuals affecting unvaccinated people, saying three women in the school's community had their menstrual cycles "impacted after having spent time with a vaccinated person".


was "maybe they shouldn't have had sex with him without using birth control"?

Also love the way that as "health freedom advocates" they have utterly curtailed choices made by their employees without any trace of irony.

I'll wager getting raw dogged by a vaccinated person just might impact my menstrual cycle.

Imagine spending thousands for the "privilege" of sending a child to a school like that? I can't either.

Lots of people in BC are turning down the AstraZeneca vax so others willing to take it are getting vaccinated early. I'm hoping to be one of them. My dad and a number of friends have already taken advantage and been vaccinated ahead of schedule.

My mom and stepdad are half way thru the Moderna (I think) vaccine.

The province is doing terribly but at least I'll be able to visit family again.

"Drugs do not help in curing any illness," he told the BBC. "I strongly believe that humans do not need vaccines at all."

In his videos, he claims his diet plans, rich in fruits and vegetables, will cure not only Covid-19, but diabetes and Aids.

Medical science says all of this is nonsense. But Mr Chowdhury has used the pandemic to spread his messages.



It's disappointing how fragile we seem to be. One little test of confidence, and large enough cracks form for all these absurd characters to ooze out and exploit peoples' fear.

Disappointing but predictable. It's basically Jude Law's character story in the (now) eerily accurate Contagion.

Moderna round two into the arms of The_Metatrix and myself. Pfizer round two into Primus’ arm, all today.

Now, we wait for approval to vaccinate Tertius, 13 years old.

Probably the same here soon. They'll want kids back at school this fall.

Getting my shot shortly! I don't know which vaccine I'm getting yet so I don't know whether I'll need a second. Don't care. Let's GET IT DONE. I want to be back out on my dad's boat.

I'm glad we survived long enough to get vaccinated! :hugs:

I had my first AZ shot last week. It was horrible. Fine for about 6 or 7 hours, then a really sudden fever. And I never normally get side effects from any drugs. Thankfully I get to do it all over again soon.

Barely any soreness at the injection site. No other side effects.
