Ford to announce lifting of vaccine mandate March 1st???
- Thread starter Jenesis
- Start date
I highly doubt that. I also don't believe a Liberal Government would've done things differently. If anything, they may've been more cautious.Election time will force their hand. GOOD BYE MR FORD
Think about this, next week, you can watch the Leafs play a game live and be surrounded by hundreds or thousands of patrons who are not vaccinated. They won't be masked either 100% of the time. Cheering, eating, drinking etc.
Scary times ahead

Damn deep state controlling the media for their nefarious plot to... I don't know ... make us more docile to feed the lizard people?
At least you admit the rush to get rid of masks is political.Election time will force their hand. GOOD BYE MR FORD
People are obviously getting paid to troll social and post false information about vaccines. I got offers to do it, I just never replied to the offers.

If it were up to that PAWG we would still be in total lockdown, with the Military standing on every street corner, guns at the ready to mow anyone down who steps outside of their homes

They are politicians and it is an election year. They would be stupid to go against the majority.
Hope Lilley is correct.
LILLEY: Mask mandates will soon eliminated but don't be afraid
The great mask debate is about the heat up now that Ontario’s chief medical officer has said mask requirements will be dropped in the near future including for schools.
“Given the positive trends and the public health indicators and the high vaccination rate, we are actively reviewing all directives and instructions to health-care providers or organizations that were temporarily put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic,” Dr. Kieran Moore said Thursday.
Note his use of a key word in that statement, “temporarily.” That’s all measures like masking or vaccine passports were supposed to be, temporary measures. Some activists appear to want them to be a regular feature of life.
One point that everyone needs to remember, and that Dr. Moore has emphasized, is that just because masks aren’t required doesn’t mean they can’t be worn. Each of us can choose to wear, or not wear, a mask based on our own health conditions and risk assessment.
“Even when it’s no longer required in public settings, it will continue to be an effective tool for reducing transmission,” Moore said. “Some in our communities may also choose to continue wearing them regularly, and we need to be respectful of individual choices once masking is no longer required.”
That’s all sensible, unlike the doctors who have spent the entire pandemic trying to convince people that the worst was just around the corner.
We have 90% of the population 12 and over fully vaccinated in Ontario. The age groups most at risk from hospitalizations or death – those 60 and over – have even higher rates of vaccine uptake. Those aged 60-69 have 76% with three vaccine doses. And for those over 70, it’s 87% with all three doses.
“On Tuesday, March 1st, we intend to continue our cautious, phased and staged reopening of the province by lifting capacity limits in all remaining indoor public settings and proof of vaccination will no longer be required from patrons in certain businesses,” Moore said Thursday.
He said the virus will still be with us but that we have tools we did not have two years ago, such as vaccines and therapeutics, that can allow us to return to normal.
It’s been a difficult two years during COVID and some people will naturally be anxious about peeling back the layers of protection they have become used to. That’s understandable and shouldn’t be mocked, but neither should the anxiety of some hold the rest of society back.

He does tend to have a sixth sense about announcements… And has a fiancé that is Doug Ford’s Director of Communications.
Are there really “activists [that] appear to want them to be a regular feature of life?”
Right, just after Trudeau announced he was in fact our new dictator.
Right. It's shows how little right wing voters care about what science and reality actually are. Ford might as well promise to ban winter.
On terb, 100%...pretty clear who they are.
That must be who Lilley is talking about.
Seems to me like he’s just doing his thing to rile up Sun readers. My mechanic is fired up about this stuff, so it tracks.
How much of a role the Ontario Science Table plays in justification for the decision will be the bellwether here.
If it’s just Dr. Moore and Ford and vague references to the Science Table without any written recommendations, I will have no doubt how the decision was made.
Fisman, Sharkawy, Kwan, Imgrund, Bogoch, Warner, Pirzada, Nimni, Dosani, Boozary…more than a few.
And if it will be OK next week, why not now? Why could not have restriction lifted immediately?Think about this, next week, you can watch the Leafs play a game live and be surrounded by hundreds or thousands of patrons who are not vaccinated. They won't be masked either 100% of the time. Cheering, eating, drinking etc.
