I don't think any human should ever be forced to take something they really don't want or have concerns about. I believe more information will be coming that will at least justify some of the concerns of the vaccine hesitant. (i.e. Pfizer has been court ordered to begin releasing data from their clinical trials beginning this month, which they tried to avoid). Also the CDC has some explaining to do regarding withholding information from the public. I personally have lost trust in everyone: the government, banks, legacy media, pharmaceuticals, education system, police, public health, science etc. China is the only economy that flourished during the pandemic. In Canada, we also saw the greatest transfer of wealth from the working class to the elites. We saw how the rules only applied to us and not the governments or upper class. As far as protests go, Ottawa had to have been one of the most peaceful. For example, BLM had more violence and damage to property by millions of dollars. And the only thing we ever heard from the PM was accusations of racism, misogynists, etc. They hadn't even arrived in Ottawa when that started. This is a very complex issue. The pandemic management seemed like building an airplane while in mid flight. The modelling used by public health was not accurate. Thousands of people will die because they were denied access to healthcare (testing, treatment etc.) because if you didn't have covid you weren't important. I am rambling now. But my belief is more will be revealed and I predict it will not be pretty. Our economy is ruined, our morale and mental health is suffering and we are a country divided thanks to the liberals. I have almost always been liberal but not anymore.

You are absolutely right! "This is a very complex issue." What is disconcerting is how it has turned into a political ideological movement from the start when Trump called it a Democratic hoax and brought tremendous division to the world. This virus was expected. Obama had an office set up for when the next global pandemic that would appear. Trump disbanded it. From there on all I have seen are bizarre conspiracy stories and consistent misinformation. Dr. David Sinclair a Harvard geneticist naively wrote in his book "Life Span - why we age and why we don't have to"that not" if" but "when" the next pandemic comes all the counties will shut down travel. HA HA. Countries like New Zealand with 0 Covid cases opened up recently and now its in the multiple thousands. Commerce is leading the way to this tragedy. The spread is also fueled by social media misinformation, especially political and plain greed in not caring about the reality of being a spreader.
