Is history repeating

[jazz]

dml do you mean are we going to see a repeat of last centurys marxist authoritarian tyranny play out in the greater world again? Absolutely.

If I can remind you, that lead to more than 100M+ deaths in a few short decades. Way more than all the diseases combined.

The same should be done with people who refuse to go back to work . Why should those willing to work , in some cases 2 jobs pay for those getting free money to stay at home on their backsides ?? Same thing

I was going to respond by comparing his analogy to his forcing everyone else to pay for his imaginary solar power folly. Same thing, expects someone else to pay for keeping his lights on.

Much harvest done around there , Sum?

Case, it spat here most of the last two days, amounted to a total of 2/10”. No harvest here. Lentils are about a week away. The hot dry weather forecast (32 Saturday and 35 Sunday) should help. We always used to say if we weren’t combining lentils by August 15, we were in trouble just because it seemed to us that the weather would switch to cool damp nights and indeterminate crops thought it was grow time - not harvest time. 🤨 We’ll have a great birthday weekend of Sheapwheat Shisliki on our homemade Hot Ruski Mangle being designed in the worksop by “master designers”. The order is in for sourkraut perogies with those tender morsels. Thanx for asking Case.

Is Canada going to see a repeat of September 28, 1885?

Do any of you know what happened in Montreal that evening?

For those interested, on that date over 2000 French Canadians armed with everything from stones to guns rioted and destroyed the Montreal Health office. The reason for the protest… the rioters were opposed to the just instituted mandatory small pox vaccination. Some did not believe small pox was a serious disease even though it had already killed 3000 Montrealers. Some thought the vaccinations were dangerous even though scientists said the vaccine was both safe and effective. Some were opposed on religious grounds. Some believed rumours that vaccinators were tying children to their beds to administer the vaccine. Mostly the French Canadians protestors distrusted the English government officials.

The damage was extensive in the city, 2 protestors were killed in the riots and the military had to be called in to restore peace.

And it turned out one of the leaders of the instigators of the riot and spreader of mis information had in fact already gotten his vaccination

Sound familiar to anyone? Is the present anti COVID van more a political protest - just as the 1885 riot was, just a reversal of roles?

Thankfully science and medicine prevailed and small pox was controlled in canada and eventually world wide. I wonder if we can learn from history or if history will repeat?

Simple question Dml, 3 out of 10 people who got smallpox died, what is the death rate from Covid-19? And do you really consider it comparable to small pox?

But A5, you don't seem to mind if the rebates, tax breaks, incentives and subsidies go the oil industry or farmers!

You better phone up the AESO and Greengate power who are investing $700 million in the Travers solar project and tell them they are making a big mistake. And that we are going to run short of CO2 in the atmosphere if we don't keep burning fossil fuels!

A5, are you sure it's me who has the credibilty problem? LOL

The death rate is a lot lower for covid so far.

But we also vaccinate people routinely for measles,mumps and rubella and a lot of other less fatal diseases. Why you ask? Because its good public health policy to reduce the burden of disease on the population. It reduces complications and death, saves money, reduces sick days and is generally good for the economy.

But most of the covidiots can't figure these sorts of things out.

Non.

Non sequitur.

Hamloc: I was not comparing Covid to Smallpox. I was comparing the reaction of some people to a scientifically proven way to reduce death and/or seriousness of a disease by use of a relatively safe vaccine. The exact same reasons, arguments, and misinformation was used by the french Canadians in Montreal in 1885 against small pox vaccination is being used by those opposed to covid vaccines today.

And I really wonder if those reasons are overshadowed by politics. Then it was the french canadians blaming the English. Today it is a combination of western alienation, opposition to Liberal government, Trudeau, and what most feel is dominance of Quebec in our governments.
Case in point, when vaccines were first approved in January, many of the same people opposed to vaccines were all up in arms because of supply issues, and the vaccines the government prebooked. Many posts claimed Canada would not begin vaccinations until now at the earliest with some claiming no vaccines until 2022. Yet Canada is now one of the leading nations of being vaccinated yet not a whisper from those complaining about vaccine supply. Instead their complaint now is of being rushed to get a vaccine, or having to get a vaccine to begin with.

Of course Covid is not nearly as deadly as small pox and to insinuate that is what I meant is offensive. But Covid is deadly, as can be confirmed by 26,660 proven deaths in Canada from it, 634,698 deaths confirmed from it in US, and officially 4.3 million deaths world wide, (roughly the same as from some estimates of the Spanish flu) and is likely much higher due to undercounting in India and third world countries. In my opinion, Covid is likely as deadly if not more so than the spanish flu. the only reason death numbers are not higher is we have ventilators, ecmo machines, better hospital facilities, and new drugs not available in 1918. And this present pandemic is far from over!

So a simple question for you Hamlock, how many deaths are needed before you consider Covid to be serious enough that mis information about vaccines and those promoting mis information should be challenged, or is a repeat of 1885 warranted in your mind? We already have seen antimask rallies. Why do you not think some antivaxers will resort to more violent protests if they are not allowed to visit their favorite bar unless they are vaccinated or if covid vaccines are mandated be it by business or governments.

He is just trolling, badly. There are no parallels between smallpox and the Chinese Fauci virus, and there are no parallels between the smallpox vaccine, which is a true classical vaccine, and the gene concoctions being used today.
DML is going to wear his spike protein costume for Halloween this year and skip his usual blackface.
