I don’t know where to draw the line on lockdowns vs. deaths. Nor is it obvious lockdowns prevented significant deaths.

39,478 vaccinations today as the booster shot campaign winds down.

 

5-11 vaccinations are also winding down.

 

They should both be wrapping up in 3 weeks, just in time to start with the 4th doses.

The million dollar question is will bonnie require a booster to maintain “fully vaccinated” status?

I do expect the vaccine passport program may be extended to require 3 for acceptance before it is wound down and removed sometime in the summer.

It's going to be at least two months until that group is done, by which time there could be vaccines available for under 5.

The province was obviously planning to slow down the vaccine push in the middle of last year. They had closed the big vaccination centres and were pushing against boosters for everyone at first. I don't see there being much push for a fourth shot at all, unless it's a future vaccine that covers against all forms of Covid.

This question was asked at the presser today and the answer was no.

Using the same logic, you are responsible for the actions of everyone that works in the same building as you.

CNN generally views the world from a leftist point of view.

Fox generally views the world from a rightest point of view.

That's their market, and they play to it.

 

But in this particular case, Spotify is playing both sides against the middle in order to maximize their corporate profit ... and that is what Neil Young is saying. 

He, like a large number of folks who have weighed in on this case, is saying to Spotify that they can't have it both ways.

 

In this case, Young is absolutely right.

To allow corporations to sew public dissent through their actions, all in order to make a profit ... is reprehensible.

No he’s not, he’s a dramatic old man who wants to push his own opinions on others.

Good riddance to him. Nobody cares what he thinks.

Spotify has no editorial position.  They are simply being a platform.  That's the way it should be.

I guess what makes the world interesting is the multitude of positions and opinions on any given subject ... with no "single" opinion being any more right than any other.

This is an over simplification, and is ultimately incorrect ... in that Spotify is no different than any other radio network, none of which are simply "platforms" any more than CNN and Fox are simply "platforms".

No.  CNN and Fox create content.  Spotify doesn't create much original content.  They just host for the most part.
