@be 💯 Right. A vaccine requirement is great if an organizer wants to lower their legal liability from people ending up hospitalized.

But if they'd actually like to stop the pandemic? Masks and daily rapid tests to minimize infected people in the facility and the ability for the virus to spread. Not requiring a negative morning test increases the number of infections people at your event by 10-20 times.

@downey @be I think they might be a need to make it a law to take the vaccine. In the USA, over 2 million people died from Covid, in 1918 600 000 died in the USA, not sure of deaths in Canada or other countries.

Unfortunately the USA does not have a functional government currently; we can't even get it to peer status of compulsory for kids in schools like many other vaccines that don't have an active pandemic.

Sadly the USA also ignored the third year of the 1918 pandemic too; even the history books often don't talk about it.

@downey @be We in Canada, also dropped the ball with all levels of government. We did an fairly good job, in the middle of this pandemic. Just not in the beginning or at this other period. We did free vaccines for all viruses for the global population, paid by the UN.

@downey @be Heard that it was detected in Spain, but the 1918 virus was from the USA, from a farm.
