The City of Toronto says it has terminated 461 employees for failing to comply with its mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policy.

 

The city says in a release that the employees either failed to receive any doses of vaccine or failed to report their vaccination status by the deadline of Jan. 2.

 

It says the terminations will not affect current staffing levels because the employees had been suspended without pay and not scheduled to work.

Yeah I know what you did...  It'll be ok...  Headlines do pose an issue for many...  Sadly...

Happy new year. I think everyone should really look at this and consider it. The process of "Othering" is old and we have been here many times before. Of course it is difficult to see or even feel compassion for those that are being othered when you are on the other side.... May your 2022 be filled with joy, love, friendship, and human connection.

Yes, it’s almost entirely the vocal anti vax group perpetrating these. The vocal pro vax group… don’t hear much from them on the ground.

Haven’t had a single run in with a pro vax customer, dozens or hundreds from the anti group. Anecdotes aren’t valid, I know I know.

Oh, I did.

In fact I just read it again. I don’t see many vaccinated people suggested we hang unvaccinated people but I’ve seen a LOT of anti vax people say that exact thing about DBH.

Anyways, you were saying?

I actually agree with Matt...  I understand you may feel like that Dasmo because of the restrictions are really against the few now, but really it's mainly one crowd that belittle and name call the others "sheep".   It mainly one crowd justifying biases by seeking like minded people, seeking out information to confirm beliefs...

I see a lot of attempts at sympathy among the anti vaccine population but people are just worn down with the pandemic and don’t have time to listen to grown adults’ complaints from self induced problems.

Don’t want the vaccine? Fine. But maybe it’s time to leave the rest of society alone, if all you want to do is preach.

True. I give you half points. Full points if you hadn't used your dehumanizing words to characterise those people. While they are misguided in their own inner rage the pyramid I posted is why they are feeling that. They are on the receiving end of that. In a real physical way.  We are ALL susceptible to that pyramid. I am thankful that many of my old friends are not on there. I have lost a couple though.

Only you have the power to stop me from preaching here. I can't seem to stop myself....

Matt I couldn't disagree more with what you have said here.

 

Try walking though a mall with no mask on, its ok you won't die, less words can kill.

Yeah, see I'm not about that. Only if people start bothering the other members here do we step in.

 

We've all chosen sides by now. There are going to be very few people transitioning from anti vaccine to vaccine at this stage.

And this one in English:
https://www.theglobe...cine-resisters/

And Macron in France called the unvaccinated non citizens and said we have to piss them off

There have been many open calls to withhold medical care for the unvaccinated.

In many places thé unvaccinated have been ordered to remain locked up in their homes. I think the Québec premier said something similar this week: there is nowhere for the unvaccinated other than home.

There is a huge list of these. Coming from people in positions of authority and echoed by the media. (Can anyone point me to a politician in power who is denigrating the vaccinated folks? Or a main stream media journalist? Any journalist? At most people ask for the right not to take the vaccine, I’ve never heard any attacks against people who are vaccinated).

Here in BC many unvaccinated are losing their jobs foe that reason alone.

I’m vaxxed by the way but I agree with Dasmo. The rhetoric is getting very scary.
