i have a close family member who is extremely active in environmental causes—they designed an entire post-secondary cross-curriculum green program, for instance.
“we’re all gonna get it” is a verbatim quote re: COVID from them.
it just doesn’t compute.

after the broadcast, my partner emailed a group of CBC managers and union reps to ask—in light of the quirks & quarks coverage—why it was OK to force us back to the office with no mitigations, especially when our son was too young to be vaccinated.
several months later, she received this reply:

let’s not forget the CBC itself and other legacy media for their contradictory coverage and health policies that flout this fact

It’s @isaacbogoch.bsky.social on CBC Metro morning talking about #measles clusters for anti-vaccination in Ontario.
It’s a “wake-up” call according to Dr Bogoch.
The host is saying that it’s “not hard” to get a MMR shot and that it’s not a money problem. Bogoch pushes back. Blames misinformation

at last, indeed. but will it be enough for the CBC to reform its policies to reflect its coverage? i’m guessing not. 👇🏼

5/ on the other hand, a well-fitted respirator (n95 or better) does an excellent job of reducing your risk of getting COVID in the first place, or transmitting to others who may suffer from an infection even more than you—and yes, possibly die.

4/ so if you’re only relying on an annual shot to protect you from COVID, you’re *somewhat* shielded for a third of the year, at best. you likely won’t go to the hospital or die in that time, but you can still get infected and sustain serious damage to your body.

3/ vaccines don’t prevent you from getting COVID or transmitting it to others, and the protection they offer gradually wanes until they are largely ineffective after about 3 or 4 months. and even ‘mild’ cases of COVID can lead to serious longterm complications.

2/ anyway, getting vaxxed and not wearing a respirator in public indoor spaces is kinda like smoking low-tar menthols to reduce your risk of cancer—no matter how sexy ol’ prime minister bedroom eyes makes it look
