    Says who? a fucking journalism grad at CBC?

    Even in worst matched seasons, there is protection. But, we encourage people to walk around sick without masks and not even wash their hands after going to the toilet any more. We used to teach hygiene in schools, we even had a U of T school of hygiene we shut down.

        In what world? How about the real world?

        https://www.cdc.gov/clean-hands/data-research/facts-stats/index.html

        19% even “wash”, but 1 in 20 properly wash.

        Historically, parents only vaccinate kids in Ontario at about 28% -you think these shit 72% parents are teaching how to properly wash hands?

        We shut down the School of Hygiene in 1975.

      Why are you yelling at CBC journalists? They make this very clear in this very article:

      The latest available vaccine effectiveness estimates show the current shot is up to 75 per cent effective at preventing hospital visits in children aged two to 17 years, and 30 to 40 per cent effective in adults, said the WHO.

      19% effectiveness does not offer much protection.
