Dr. Iris GorfinkelGorfinkel told CTVNews.ca in a phone interview that it remains difficult for people to access booster shots, in some cases because of existing age limits — for example, the current cut off for Ontario residents is 70 unless other conditions are met.
As well, anyone in Canada who has travelled through the region in the past two weeks has been asked to get tested and remain in quarantine until a negative test result is received. He added that the importance of other public health measures remains, including proper air ventilation and filtration, mask-wearing and vaccinations.
"So said another way, it's very likely that the vaccines still provided very reasonable protection," he said.
Canada should ban international flights from countries that have confirmed cases of these variants...stopthestupidity
No. It’s all bs and you all know it. We don’t need a mandate like you msm is promoting.
Why the varients are because of the vaccines
Of course! The goal post keeps moving😷
The definition of insanity: repeating the same thing over and over while expecting a different result.
So I keep hearing Omicron and that it's more contagious but if it is not lethal and does not land you in hospital or dead then what are we worried about here? It's not a difficult question is it?
How about give the boosters to countries who haven’t even had 1 shot yet? That will stop these variants from mutating. And how about test the current vaccines against the mutation and see if it even works against it. Might not even work so what’s the point in the 3rd shot
Suggest to lower the booster shots to seniors 60 years and above
Yes
Considering the fact that the vaccine does not preclude one from either contracting or transmitting covid and viral loads are found to be similar between the vaxed and unvaxed, I think it is safe to say the vaccines do not work and have failed. That is the science.
No
Maybe we are all doomed by this variant! 🤨 keep your guns everyone!! 😮
FUCK (And I can't say this quite loud enough) RIGHT OFF CDNPOLI
Listen. I was compliant with this first pamdemic. But fuck this new one
2/2 science once the work is done to determine what this VOC is. Not everyone’s speculation on what it MIGHT be.
Why are you chasing experts and getting opinions when we all know that right now the only thing we know for sure is that right now we don’t know enough about this VOC. It’s madness to just write stories to fill pages or collect clicks. All I want to see is the facts and the 1/2
It's not required with the new variant
Way too early to tell!
The world should revisit the booster & vaccine!
No limit traveling? What does this government care about? Airlines or its people
No
Ya get rid of it
💤
What I find funny is this wonderful government decides to drop this silly testing mandate for going to the US but it takes 2 weeks to do it. If I were to go there right now they would ding me for $150 or whatever it costs, but on the 1st it's just fine. What a joke
No. Just stop scaring Canadians.. most are naive and can’t think for themselves. Plandemic is over.. do not comply, people!
Yes throw it the F OUT…wake up 🇨🇦
👇🏼
Be scared. Curl in your basement. Government always protects you. State propaganda
Yes
Soon to be zero for 3 🤣
Revisit the capabilities of the 'Prime Minister'
Enough is enough!!!! COVAXIN takes care of the CovidVariantAlarm . Why do you refuse to investigate? COVID19 Covid Canada Omicron Omnicron
How about visit the fact that several doctors say it’s the vaccinated spreading new variants.. stop using a bs injection that does shit
When is Booster BS coming to Canada
Stop sniffing glue CTV. Enough of fake news
Yes it should stop poisoning people, brainwashing people, and get back to a normal life!!!!
No. Nothing changes as long as our borders are open and we have people traveling everywhere for no reason. Going to countries with Covid-19 variants and instead of returning with a souvenir they new gift is killing your family and friends.
Oh good lord. God help us. When will the media stop with their fearmongering? The chief medical officer in Botswana says there's nothing to be concerned about: and it's the vaccinated who are spreading the variant, not the unvaccinated.
Should it actually work first? The first ones you and government scared/forced everyone to take is next to useless.
You realize this variant has been in other countries for over a year now right? Spread the fear!
How about if the booster would actually work against this Transformer variant
YES!!! Like yesterday.
Please stop your hateful tweets towards the Omicron variant EqualityforAll ✊🦠 IStandWithOmicron Omicron
Back in the late 1700's when the smallpox vaccine came about there were anti-vaxxers like there are today. When people back then heard that the smallpox vaccine was derived from cows, some people thought that the vaccine might turn them into a cow while they were sleeping.
Lol. No
Ummmm ,YA ! Unvaxxed will contract it and die reducing world population which will help with climate change. Two birds one stone.
Lets run thru MMedia, Big Pharma & GOVs Fucking Lies. FACT a yr ago ALL preached 90-95% AGAINST GETTING COVID. NOW 40-50% DAILY CASES 2 DOSES, WITH 2 DOSE 4-5X LIKELIER TO END UP IN HOSPITAL THAN 1 DOSE(WTF?). A BOOSTER FOR? DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT OCTA-HORSESHIT DOES OR DOESNT!
yay! 🤡
🤣🤣🤣🤣 but of course said a horse pushing now reason for boosters....scare tactics
Yes!!!!
We are in the danger of COVID-19 Viruses and Vaccine combined biological weapons. Your guys need to wake up. May God bless Canadian and all human beings.🙏
What is the point to take such a risk,it is useless
My Cousins have now obtained their Booster Shot. There is no need to revise anything. Just get vaccinated.
I wonder if there is a vaccine out there to give the antivaxxing crowd more common sense!!
Infinite so called variants with infinite boosters that don’t work. Curious when ppl will have enough of this. There is a reason why Pfizer won’t release its studies for 55 years. Majority of everyone will be long gone.
The drug companies would like that.
