Allowing psychopathic Iran to fire missiles at Israel with no response would be inviting disaster.
So fuck yeah "bomb Iran's nukes" as the man said.
Don't forget Iran is on record for vowing to use nukes the moment they develop them.
How "fucked up would the whole region be" after Iran nukes Tel Aviv?

Word coming through that the US is ok with Israel going into Rafah to finish the current actions against Hamas as long as they don't retaliate against Iran.
With all the international furrow over the treatment of Palestinians, it is a PR damned if you do vs a hawkish domestic damned if you don't for Israel.

I'm hearing Israel has launched missiles at an Iranian a nuclear power plant and a uranium enrichment facility.
Called it.
Also explosions around Iranian proxies in Iraq and Syria.
Blast those cavemen back to the Stone Age!
(it's the best thing as far as world peace in the big picture)
Anyway, can't follow this any further tonight, date time with wifey...

Nothing to see here, just another $36.4 million for victims of vaccines administered after Dec 8, 2020.

Well, that's great. If you do something your government asks you to do, and it adversely affects your health, you should be compensated.Topper wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 7:08 am Nothing to see here, just another $36.4 million for victims of vaccines administered after Dec 8, 2020.

But as you can read in the article only 0.01 % of those vaccinated experienced serious side effects, so one in ten thousand.
And a total of 4 deaths attributed to the vaccine. Compare that to all the lives that were saved!
Now, if I understand it correctly some 59,000 people died from covid in Canada, and studies have showed that the vaccines reduced the mortality risk by roughly 70% (Originally it was said 90%, but as the virus mutated, overall efficiency was reduced).
Roughly 80% got the vaccine.
So, if we put that as an equation and set the covid mortality rate for unvaccinated as X (not knowing how many got infected) and the mortality rate for vaccinated as 0.3X (a 70% reduction of risk), it would be 0.2X+0.8(0.3X)=59000. That gives us 0,44X=59000, and so the number of dead for a completely unvaccinated population should be 59000/0.44 = 134000.
134000-59000 is 75000, so a rough estimatee would be that the vaccine saved some 75000 Canadian lives while it cost a total of 4 lives.
In addition a few thousand people got blood clots or myocarditis from the vaccine, and should be compensated by the government for this.
But in all fairness, the risk of getting myocarditis from a covid infection was roughly ten times higher than getting it from the vaccine, so the number of myocarditis cases would have been even higher if the entire population were unvaxxed.
I haven't seen the exact numbers regarding blood clots, but they were a common complication for people with covid, which is why I had to take some blood thinning medication for a full month after my hospitalization with covid. Thus I expect that the vaccine actually reduced the number cases of blood clots as well as myocarditis in the population as a whole, but of course that is little comfort to those who did get it from the vaccine, so I am fully supportive of them getting compensation.
I just wish the vaccine had arrived sooner, so that my wife would still be here.
That was early on, so probably a 90% chance that it would have saved her.
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!
