“Federal figures suggest only 26 per cent of Canadian adults were vaccinated for COVID in 2024…” Maybe because governments pushed so hard on the narrative that the threat was over? https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/hospital-rates-vaccine-illnesses-9.7165119

@Cassandra@ottawa.place Bonus Points: Showing up to my appointment in Québec for my combination shot only for them to have not had any of Covid vaccine. Double Bonus: Nurse at the pharmacy telling me that it's not an important vaccine anyway.

@Cassandra@ottawa.place Are people really that stupid? If they offer a vaccination, we get it. We've had every single Covid vax since they became available. Ditto any other free vaccination (flu, pneumonia). Why take chances?

@Cassandra@ottawa.place the way (most of) society acts post-Covid is mind boggling. We have learned nothing.. actually.. I think we’ve collectively lost a few brain cells.

@Cassandra@ottawa.place it doesn't help that vaccines take forever to become available if you're not in a 'high risk' population. always, my immunity is seriously waning by the time they release the next batch. it's very frustrating.
