Dear Mother,

I do not remember the feel of ice. A hockey stick in my hands. The cool breeze as I skate. Some days I wonder if hockey was but a dream. An echo of a past life. Was I once a hockey player? Who am I now? Just a man who wishes an end to purgatory.

- Evan Bouchard
Maybe they sent Evan Bouchard on a near light-speed orbit so he returns some time in the future when they need him most though he ages only days like Mazer Rackham in Ender’s Game.
Perhaps Evan The Grey is currently fighting a Balrog deep in the Mines of Rogers Place. His last words to Drai and McDavid as he was pulled into the large cracks in the ice at Rogers Place: Fly, you fools!
Likely, the Mon-Stars have stolen all the talent from the entire Buffalo Sabres roster and Evan Bouchard is currently in a high stakes hockey game to save the Looney Tunes
Maybe, there is no Evan Bouchard.

It’s important to remember that vaccination is not an individual decision with individual consequences.

It’s an individual decision with societal consequences.

Society suffers harm when enough individual society members don’t get vaccinated.
No vaccine is 100% effective. Especially in the elderly, immunocompromised, and most vulnerable individuals. Continued virus circulating in the community is a threat to them.

More vaccination = Less virus = Less threat
Mutations can lead to variants that spread faster, are more deadly, and could evade immunity... as we’ve already seen.

Less vaccination -> more virus -> more mutations -> more variants

Oof. Not good news for the Sputnik vaccine.

Dr. Rasmussen (now a fellow Saskatoonster) explains things in her thread. So give it a read.
Good question.

No, this has nothing to do with the AstraZeneca or the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and everything to do with Sputnik specifically.
This is what I wrote about the AstraZeneca vaccine and linked in there is a fantastic video by @ScientistSwanda to explain it.

Sputnik is a similar ‘type’ of vaccine but there’s some differences.

Every week there’s a physicians town hall in Saskatchewan, where physicians get updated on where things are in the pandemic.

This week:
You can see all the relevant slides in @gqinsk’s feed.

But, want a highlight?
Here’s the thing, we’re “managing” right now because the variant load is still mostly in Regina & patients can be spread elsewhere. But if/when the variants go widespread... there’s no longer ‘some’ triaging.

You know, @Kinger999 is right, Saskatchewan should set a target that says Mosaic Stadium will be open at full capacity for the Riders if the province hits an 85% adult vaccination rate.

Bye bye vaccine hesitancy!
Just pass out a watermelon helmet with every vaccination card. Come on people, this isn’t hard to figure out!
I did the math. Great West Pil is $35 for 24 right now. It would cost $1.16M to give the first 85% of all Sask adults a Pilsner with their vaccination.

The Riders make about $1.5M per home game.

THIS WILL PAY FOR ITSELF PEOPLE!

I love the work this account is doing but it is absolutely bonkers that they exist at all.

We, as a society, need as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible. We ALL benefit from that. WHY have so many places made it so difficult?
Getting vaccinated against COVID should be easiest thing anyone does in society. You should be able to call out your window and a public health nurse floats down like Mary Fucking Poppins and jabs you with the end of their umbrella.
How can we coordinate hundreds of locations with multiple different eligibility criteria?

If I want a donair, Skip The Fucking Dishes will connect me with the closest one and give me a 15 minute time frame. I don’t have to phone 8 different donair waiting lists.
