"The suspect said he didn't commit a crime!
He must be guilty because that's exactly what a guilty person would say!"
This is not helpful rhetoric.
BC releases tons of data on a weekly basis. Here is their conf. from last week [1] there's tons of great information.
They talk about and provide their justifications for their policies.
Agree or not, they are rational.
"And no, the current vaccines aren’t getting us out of this. "
Your Singapore anecdote proves just the opposite: while Singapore had 'kept out' COVID and had their first, real material wave over the last few months, their mortality was exceedingly low, maxing out at 15 deaths/day with almost 4000 cases a day at their peak. For reference, Canada had 4K cases/day at the same time, with about 40 deaths/day.
While Singapore was having more cases per capita, wich is not unexpected for an urban area with their 'first big wave' - the vaccines were very effective in saving lives.
The same thing will eventually happen in Australia, NZ and Taiwan.

- refurb 5y agoI like how you skipped BC's data manipulation. And yes, vaccines reduce deaths but not new cases. Expect another massive wave in Canada (already started) and another round of lockdowns...just like 2021. It's not going away.
- jollybean 5y agoI did not skip BC's data manipulation, that's just crap you made up. The data that I provided twice on this thread demonstrates decisively that vaccines reduce new cases: the clear majority of cases are from unvaccinated even though they are a minority of the population. This is definitely an indication of reduced spread.
