I posted this donut graph from the BC gov't in my earlier Hibernations thread. But it really is worth looking at on its own and on its page bccdc.ca/health-profess… 1/
Branch Covidarians will make noise about the age profile of the triple vaxed, as they should, and then they should click on the link and look at the age breakdowns. Nasty. 2/ #COVID19#bcpoli
It's late. My takeaway is that the jabs are very disappointing and may even have negative efficacy. The unjabbed seem to be doing fine - probably smart to try and avoid getting the damned virus - but at least no adverse or immune effects. 3/ #COVID19#canpoli
I am hoping the BC Gov't keeps updating these charts. There are things emerging here and we all need to keep a weather eye on them. Remember the words, "Original Antigenic Sin". I suspect we are going to be hear them a lot in the next few months. 4/4 #COVID19#bcpoli

Hibernation Day #295 | A perfect summer day, warm, not hot, wispy clouds for the perfect sunset. Grand!
We have reached an interesting point in the narrative: the BC donuts on vax outcomes have been dropped. Here's the last double glaze: 1/
Our friends in Alberta have dropped Vaccine Outcomes altogether. The invaluable, @Martyupnorth_2 posts 2/
Meanwhile, the invaluable Guillaume Comeau posts a history of the Quebec government's gradual reduction in actual information on its stats page. Read the whole thread, it is as funny as the gov't is outrageous. 3/
I wonder if any other province will follow New Brunswick's lead and require their health workers to be "up to date" with their jabs meaning you have to be boosted. 1/
I rather doubt it. Alberta has dropped the jab mandate altogether for its HCW. It is pretty clear that the booster doesn't do much (except apparently make people more vulnerable to the current variants). Take up has been limited, less than 50% of the double jabbed. 2/
Hospitals and LTCs are already running into serious staffing issues the result of firing the unjabbed and the jabbed getting sick and sick again. Emergency rooms have huge wait times and are often being forced to close for lack of staff. 3/
Hibernation Day #294 | Just a perfect summer day. Warm, not hot until late afternoon. COVID seems to have, as I expected, slide off the table. Now it is all about how hot it is in England and Europe and parts of the US and Canada. 1/
Climate Fear Porn is ramping up. And it is something to worry about. Not because the world is warming more than usual in the summer, rather because the green idiots have quietly ruined a lot of useful energy infrastructure. 2/
Cold (Australia) or hot (much of the EU/UK/US) being able to generate electrical power on demand is key to making people comfortable. I have a pal in Phoenix where it was 106F today. She has air conditioning...she's fine. But you need power for that. 3/
It is the really slow, really depressing time of the year in the junior markets. Even really, really good news is a selling opportunity. Same thing happens pretty much every year. Time to think about other things. 1/
As I have written before, I enjoy thinking about urban planning and design. What works and what doesn't. Part of this is actually thinking about what urban and suburban areas are actually for. Seems obvious but often isn't. 2/
One answer is that cities and their suburbs exist to provide places for people to live and work. Which is true but urban places do more than that. Schools, hospitals, universities, recreation centers, libraries, shopping districts are all part of the mix. 3/
Hibernation Day #293 | Lovely, summer, day. Not too hot, great breeze off the ocean. I fear the rather stiffer breeze a couple of days ago has killed our new fig trees. Brown thumbs all round. Mask level, low even in suburbia. 1/
While there is a bit of a push in legacy media for remasking in the face of the dreaded 7th wave of B.5, I am not sure it will come to much mid-summer. The hysteria is receding. Which brings up an interesting political issue. 2/ #canpoli
The newly bowl cut Prime Minister of all the Canadas is out on a taxpayer funded pre-campaign, tour. Time honoured tradition. And fun watching the little shit doing campaign style events at undisclosed locations for fear of being "mobbed by supporters". 3/ #canpoli
@brianlilley is speculating that Trudeau may call a Fall election. I would be a huge fan of having another chance to bounce the idiot and his incompetent Cabinet but we also have to think about getting the right's house in order. 1/
I am going to assume that @PierrePoilievre will win the @CPC_HQ leadership - if he doesn't I suspect the CPC will collapse in on itself. But let's assume he does. Where does that leave Max and the #PPC? 2/
For the moment we need Max to keep CPC honest and as a ready to go alternative if the Party of Toronto stabs Pierre as they stabbed Max. But if Pierre wins I think the #PPC and the #CPC need to make a deal. 3/
