My former U of M professor said at a grad gathering to be wary of statistics. Being a good farm girl, she knew of what she spoke. She said, 鈥淎 couple of statisticians were out rabbit hunting. They both spotted the same rabbit at the same time and each took a shot. One shot was two feet in front of the rabbit, one shot was two feet behind the rabbit. On average the rabbit was dead鈥�.

COVID-19 was among the worst diseases to hit Canada in the past 100 years or more. In my opinion, it was handled worse than any previous disease. I won鈥檛 argue that vaccines were wrong, although there is a lot of evidence that the benefits of vaccines were highly over-promoted. I would daresay that vaccines should not have been compulsory and there are those who will vehemently disagree with me. It鈥檚 just that, in general terms, I am very wary of anything being compulsory. There were people who didn鈥檛 get vaccinated who died from C-19 but there were a lot of people who didn鈥檛 get vaccinated who didn鈥檛 even get sick. There were people who had two, three or four vaccine shots and they got C-19 and some of them died.
All that said, my biggest complaint is the absurd way sick people were handled, especially those in hospitals and care homes.
