Disgust growing over vaccine protesters' Holocaust comparisons Demonstrators seen wearing yellow stars, holding pictures of Anne Frank https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/vaccine-protesters-holocaust-comparisons-1.6175321 A protester in Calgary last week holds a picture of Anne Frank, while another wears a yellow star. Jewish Canadians say such comparisons between COVID-19 vaccine mandates and the plight of European Jews during the Second World War are both disturbing and dangerous. (Anis Heydari/CBC) At the National Holocaust Monument in Ottawa on Tuesday, they gathered to remember the Babi Yar massacre. Over two days in late September 1941, nearly 34,000 Jewish men, women and children were herded through the streets of Kyiv in Nazi-occupied Ukraine, stripped of their clothing and forced into a narrow ravine where they were mown down with machine guns. Dead and wounded alike were then buried where they lay. At the solemn ceremony, which happened the same day provincial officials unveiled details of Ontario's vaccine passport system, there was little sympathy for those who have been protesting against such passports and vaccine mandates — some comparing themselves to victims of Nazi brutality. "It's a total desecration of the memory of … those that were killed during the Holocaust," said prominent Ottawa lawyer Lawrence Greenspon, who co-chaired Tuesday's commemoration. "It's incredibly insulting." The comparisons are "vile," agreed Andrea Freedman, CEO of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa. "They're dangerous, and they're a gross and wilful distortion of history," she told CBC News. (More at above url)
Some Unvaccinated People Are Now Calling Themselves ‘Purebloods,’ Here’s Why https://www.ibtimes.com/some-unvacc...lling-themselves-purebloods-heres-why-3297455 Some unvaccinated people have taken to social media to call themselves “purebloods," a reference from “Harry Potter” that refers to a pure bloodline, which is not mixed with non-wizards. The “pureblood” trend for the unvaccinated has made its way to TikTok with the hashtag #pureblood. In a series of videos, these unvaccinated social media users are asking that they no longer be called unvaccinated but instead “purebloods” as they don’t have the COVID vaccine in their bloodlines. In the J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” book series, a “pureblood” has a family bloodline that only has wizards or rather no muggles - humans without powers. In the "Harry Potter" books, it was seen as a superior to be a “pureblood” and a higher social rank compared to those that were mixed with the so-called muggles. On TikTok, users are calling for the new “pureblood” title. One user on TikTok posted in their video, “I will no longer be referred to as Unvaccinated. You can call me a Pureblood.” (More at about unhinged anti-vax idiots at above url)
Of course these anti-vax idiots are from Texas... NYC restaurant hostess assaulted after asking women for proof of vaccination https://abc7ny.com/hostess-assaulted-carmines-uws/11026211/ Police say the hostess of a restaurant on the Upper West Side was assaulted after asking three women from out of town to show proof of vaccination. The incident was reported at Carmine's Restaurant at 2450 Broadway around 5 p.m. Thursday. Officials say the three women from Texas -- a 44-year-old, her 21-year-old daughter and another 49-year-old woman -- tried to enter the restaurant. That is when authorities say they assaulted the 24-year-old hostess who asked for their proof of vaccination. The suspects broke the hostess' necklace during the assault, but she refused medical attention. The three women were taken into custody and given desk appearance tickets. The investigation into the incident is ongoing. "Our goal is to serve our customers great food, offer excellent service and hospitality while keeping our employees and customers safe as we comply with the government mandated COVID-19 protocols," said a spokesperson from Carmine's Italian Restaurant. "It's a shocking and tragic situation when one of our valued employees is assaulted for doing their job - as required by city policies - and trying to make a living. Our focus right now is caring for our employee and the rest of our restaurant family. We are a family-style restaurant, and this is the absolute last experience any of our employees should ever endure and any customers witness." "Assaulting a restaurant worker for doing their job is abhorrent and must be punished," said Andrew Rigie, executive director of the NYC Hospitality Alliance. "We're calling on the City and State of New York to immediately increase penalties for assaulting restaurant workers in New York City in conjunction with enforcement of Covid-19 protocols." The NYC Hospitality Alliance is also calling on Mayor Bill de Blasio to increase awareness on vaccine requirements for indoor dining to the public -- especially visitors who may be unaware of the policy.

Alberta COVID party sends several people to hospital with virus https://edmonton.citynews.ca/2021/09/23/alberta-covid-party-hospital/ A party west of Edmonton has landed several people in the hospital with COVID-19, sources have confirmed to CityNews. And this was no ordinary party–it was a “COVID party”, where guests tried to intentionally get the virus to “build up natural immunity” without getting vaccinated. One source told CityNews that the Edson party, which happened about two weeks ago, had sent some people to the local hospital. A number of Edmonton ICU cases also come from the party. The gathering was similar to chickenpox parties where children were intentionally exposed to the virus, but University of Alberta virology expert Dr. Lorne Tyrrell says COVID-19 is much deadlier. “It’s just unbelievable. And it’s very sad and very irresponsible to think you’d get good immunity from the virus without getting serious disease,” he said. “[COVID-19] carries a mortality rate around two per cent but also we’ve got all the long-COVID people who’ve been infected and have had symptoms for a long period of time.” The idea of natural herd immunity has been prevalent recently. Albertan country singer Paul Brandt made headlines after he posted on social media that he didn’t need to be vaccinated because he already had the virus. Brandt later tweeted that after conversations with medical experts, he reversed course on the decision. Tyrrell says this kind of misinformation on immunity can lead to deadly consequences. “We thought originally that if we had 70 to 80 per cent of people vaccinated, we’d slow up this pandemic. But with the delta variant being more easily transmissible, we need to see herd immunity to get closer to 90 or 93 per cent.” CityNews reached out to Alberta Health Services for comment on the Edson party, Edson case numbers, and concerns around intentionally contracting COVID-19. “People who are hosting or attending these parties not only put themselves at risk of serious illness or death, but are adding stress to the health-care system, which in turn may prevent other Albertans from getting the care they need,” said the newly-appointed Alberta health minister, Jason Copping, in a statement. “COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise, largely in unvaccinated Albertans.”
This is occurring more and more now by those that are Not Vaccinated. They are forming these informal groups with someone that's Covid positive and having these get-togethers with the Covid positive person to intentionally become infected with Covid. It's absolutely crazy irresponsible behavior by people paranoid about Vaccinations. They're literally playing Russian Roulette with their lives because they do not realize that 1/3 of the population do not know they have an underlying medical condition that can be exploited by Covid...resulting in hospitalization, ICU admission, or possibly death. Worst, they could possibly infect another friend or loved one that's clueless about what these idiots are doing. wrbtrader
