The government destroyed  their own credibility, it is no longer a conspiracy theory to think they would lie about any numbers

It never was.  Since when has the government been competent, trustworthy or reliable?

The province of Quebec will start to fine unvaccinated adults.
 

 

For a country with nationalized health care, this seems roughly equivalent as a surcharge to premiums on private healthcare plans.

Covid: Quebec to impose health tax on unvaccinated Canadians

The Canadian province of Quebec will charge a health tax to residents who are not vaccinated against Covid-19.

Quebec, which has seen the highest number of Covid-related deaths in Canada, is currently struggling with a surge in cases.

On Tuesday, the premier announced that it would be the first in the nation to financially penalise the unvaccinated.

Only about 15% of Quebec residents are not vaccinated, but they make up about half of all hospital cases.

According to federal data, just over 84% of Quebec residents had received at least one vaccine dose by 1 January.

Premier Francois Legault said during a news conference that people who have not received their first dose of vaccine will have to pay a "contribution".

The fee has not yet been decided, but will be "significant", he said.

"I think right now it's a question of fairness for the 90% of the population who made some sacrifices," Mr Legault said. "I think we owe them this kind of measure."

Last week, the province announced that it would require proof of vaccination to shop in government cannabis and liquor stores.

A curfew is also in place, the second one of the pandemic, running from 22:00 to 05:00 each day.

On Tuesday, Quebec's death toll from Covid reached 12,028.

It comes after 62 deaths were recorded in the previous 24-hour period. The daily figure represents a similar rate to January 2021, before widespread vaccinations had begun in the province.=

The premier's press conference was attended by his interim public health director, who took over after the long-serving previous director resigned over criticism of his handling of the latest Omicron-driven surge.

Hospitals in Montreal, the province's largest city, are nearing 100% capacity and have already started limiting non-Covid related care.

Over 200 members of the city's unhoused population have also tested positive, indicating an outbreak. It comes amid a severe cold snap, which is overwhelming shelters.

Quebec reported 8,710 new cases on Tuesday. The figure represents a 20% positivity rate.

There are currently 2,742 Covid patients in Quebec hospitals, including 244 in intensive care.

While rare, Quebec is not the only region in the world seeking to impose a financial penalty on those unwilling to get jabbed.

Starting later this month, Greeks over age 60 are being required to pay a €100 (£85; C$142; $113) fine for each month that they remain unvaccinated.

Singapore has required Covid patients to pay for their own medical bills if they are not vaccinated.

They're also requiring vaccination for weed and liquor sales. This is the way...

my employer is ramping up for the weekly testing mandate for unvaxxed employees. i'm sure that will be a real sheetshow.  testing locations already have folks lined up around the block with ridiculous wait times. just wait until every unvaxxed maroon needs a weekly test in order to go to work.

The labs are way backed up. It's been 3 days since we got my daughter tested, still no result. I told my wife to take her to the pediatrician to get a rapid test and she comes home saying they gave her a PCR test instead because their policy is to only do a PCR for known exposures. 

So now we're looking at yet another day of missed school. Frustrating.

Most urgent cares do rapids for $100, at least around my area in the Philly burbs

Of course it's from Project Veritas 

Anti-Vaxxers: I don't trust the government because they've lied to the American People!

Also Anti-Vaxxers: This is from Project Veritas?  Seems legit.

Sorry, I don’t agree that he wanted idiots to go break into the Capitol, attack cops, etc. But yes, his hope was that the crowd could pressure them (mainly Pence) into refusing to certify some states. His problem was he overestimated the intelligence of his crowd. 

That's very generous.

He knew exactly what he was doing. He watched it play out for hours before he did anything about it as President of the US.

He absolutely meant for it to happen. His problem was that it wasn't successful, not that it overestimated anything.

You're more upset with my sources than with the notion that your government might be responsible to the deaths of tens of thousands in America and millions worldwide?

WTF is wrong with you?

Yeah, it's weird that I'm not upset about something that's obvious BS because it was put out by Project F'ing Veritas, the guys that are caught lying every time they open their mouths.

I think Project Veritas has a better record for accuracy than any of the rags you prefer.

If someone lies or manipulates facts to me and I find out they did knowingly ,I’m never gonna believe them again. 

The problem is that people interpret evolving science as "manipulating facts" because they've decided to politicize not only the pandemic, but the science behind it.

So when men like Fauci actually present sound science, follow the scientific method, and change recommendations based on new information or a new strain of the virus it's sold to the useful idiots by propagandists like Tucker as "manipulation of facts."

I gotta ask man, is there some kind of built in lag on your comma key, and is it related to a missing period key?
