Thank you for your informative reply. You are right, regular (as in, weekly or more frequently) testing should also prove effective at preventing the spread amongst both vaccinated and unvaccinated people. But, the key there is you would have to trust people to do the right thing, and actually get tested, and isolate if they test positive. I'm not confident that enough people who won't get vaccinated would comply with that. And you are misusing statistics when you say that a greater growth of cases amongst the vaccinated proves the vaccine doesn't prevent the spread. Everyone knows the vaccine doesn't 100% prevent you catching covid, no surprise there. But it does slow it somewhat, and most crucuially it does greatly reduce your chances of dying or being hospitalized. I'm too lazy to link references, but a quick google would show you plenty of reputable sources with statistics showing you are much safer vaccinated than unvaccinated. Regarding the greater growth of cases amongst the vaccinated, many, many things explain this. For a start, 76% of Canada's population is vaccinated. So, if the vaccine had no effect then you'd expect 76% of all new cases would be amongst the vaccinated. You stated the actual measure is 53%, so clearly the vaccine is preventing a lot of the spread. But in the end of the day, setting aside the whole issue of should the vaccine should be mandated or not, disagreeing with the mandate is not a valid reason to not get vaccinated. Just get vaccinated. Once you disregard all the crazy, crazy conspiracy theories about the vaccine "magentizing" your body, or changing your DNA or causing infertility then you are left with a real, but infantesimal risk of a bad reaction to the vaccine. A rational comparison of the risks of getting vaccinated vs the risks of not getting vaccinated cleary shows there is no valid reson to not get vaccinated except a tiny fraction of people who cannot get vaccinated due to valid medical advice.

I was going to reply but your last paragraph tells me you are bringing some unnecessary biased baggage and stereotyping me as believing in nonsense. I suggest reaching out to a variety of people who are against mandates and you would understand that vast majority of them don’t believe in the nonsense which you are stereotyping me as. I am not misusing stats. your paragraph about the fully vaccinated cases vs fully vaccinated % in Canada seems to missed the point I made. I stated that week but week, that % has risen and a lot faster now after 3-6 months. Ontario had a 19% jump in fully vaccinated cases between October 10 and November 10. Our fully vaccinated % barely rose in that time. Canada had under 10% vaccinations till June 10th so vast majority of our full vaccinations happened in the last 3-5 months. So as we are now coming off the honeymoon period, the cases of fully vaccinated are drastically rising again. Firstly, the objectives which our Canadian government has claimed for the mandates claim that vaccines somehow prevent transmission - which is simply not true. And obviously they are not 100% effective - the problem is that these effectiveness drops to 3%-66% after 3-6 months. This is not his typical vaccines for polio, measles etc work. And if you look at stats from Ireland, Iceland, Belgium, Netherlands, Singapore, UK, Germany etc, you would know the shots aren’t doing what you are claiming they are doing. I have been following this daily and have family in 3 of those countries.
