Coronavirus

That's for all people, including those who are ineligble for the shot (i.e: children under 12)

If you hit the button that says "eligible" near the top, it'll show you the percentage of everyone 12+ who has received the shot! (85% and 79%, respectively!)

Unless I?m looking at the wrong source, it?s says 75% 1 dose and 69% fully vaccinated for Ontario.

Yeah, vaccination rates are often either stated as for total populations or total "eligible" populations (aged 12 or older). And that can sometimes cause confusion. Those stats are for total populations, if you click that little "eligible" toggle it'll flip to the aged 12 or older numbers.

Ontario is at 75% 1 dose and 69% fully vaccinated for their entire population, 85% 1 dose and 79% fully vaccinated for their eligible population.

Alberta is at 67% 1 dose and 60% fully vaccinated for their entire population, 79% 1 dose and 72% fully vaccinated for their eligible population.

 
You are seeing worse numbers because Alberta hasn't put proper precautions in place.  Vaccination is only part of the solution.  Masking is only part of the solution.

Alberta's numbers are below Ontario's but they also lifted restrictions and are paying for it.
Soon we will be too as the transfer of Albertan ICU patients has already started to enter the province.

Thanks for clarifying that.

And this is what really grinds me. On one hand I feel that individuals shouldn't be punished for being under bad government but Alberta sending ICU patients while pushing the conservative vote in this country despite their premier's piss poor covid performance and whining about equalization payments is so absolutely ludicrous.

When your health policy is so bad it begins to affect other provinces despite having tools to mitigate that then you are beyond incompetent. It makes my head spin. I don't want to pay for Alberta's bad choices.

Yeah. It's not really out of character, at all. We just get to see it more clearly now. It's Canada's Florida/Texas hybrid.

The one place that is literally sending patients to other provinces and says "This is fine. In fact I want more of that except federally!"

I don't understand how people are still denying the crisis when they're literally getting the military ready to start assisting with airlifts of patients within and out of the province. Clearly this is all a Plandemic.

This is really awful. Not just for the patients and their families but for all of the health care staff who aren't going to be able to give people the care they need.

Saving this here for later.

It baffled me why decision makers haven?t been handling covid like an airborne pathogen, and I think it?s because they?re scared of what would need to be done to mitigate and address it. See the insistence that schools will be safe (by doing next to nothing).

Good milestone to be passing. Feel like it should be at least 10-15% higher though.
 
I'll preface this by saying I'm vaccinated and will likely get a booster by the end of year.

What's the difference between someone that's vaccinated and someone who had covid and has antibodies?

My rudimentary understanding is that both prompt an antibody response from the immune system.

If that is the case, shouldn't people who have antibodies and who regularly test to make sure they have them, be given some leeway when it comes to vaccine mandates?

Thanks for the clarification.
