@mattruby What proof does he have that Rogan’s fans are merely “listening” and not “following” the advice/rhetoric they hear on the show?

(Last few paragraphs)

@scottbolinger But the antidote to that is:

- good science, that employs a process of rigorous review by experts (both in that domain, and cross-discipline)
- good reporting from multiple institutions. If you read multiple sources (BBC, NYT, WP, WSJ, etc) you should get a good sense of reality

@scottbolinger “Pretty broad” in which way?

One definition of free thinker is: “a person who thinks freely or independently: one who forms opinions on the basis of reason independently of authority.”

If you’re forming your opinions independent of authority and expertise, that’s a problem.

@mikeymayers This doesn’t invalidate previous support for health mandates.

Naturally, as Omicron ebbs, folks want to see restrictions removed.

This poll didn’t explicitly ask if they didn’t support the actions that had been taken up until now.

Ending restrictions as always been the plan.

@derrickgrigg How would you prevent potentially covid-positive nurses from spreading the disease to the vulnerable?

@derrickgrigg How much new investment would you put into healthcare?

How long would it take for those investments to bear fruit?

How would you pay for this new investment?

@derrickgrigg My guess is the problem is number of available nurses and doctors.

If you wanted to dramatically increase capacity, wouldn’t you need to dramatically increase number of nurses and doctors being trained?

How would you do that quickly?

@derrickgrigg What data are you using to inform that plan of action?

Here’s a study on the most effective government interventions: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41562-020-01009-0

@derrickgrigg What evidence do you have that we *weren’t* working closely with the USA?

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-us-border-1.5501201

@derrickgrigg My understanding is that nearly every health region in the world was at risk of being overwhelmed.

China was the only country (I believe) that was able to quickly build excess capacity.

How would you quickly build capacity?

@derrickgrigg How would you deal with the resulting surges on hospitals? https://twitter.com/EricTopol/status/1488050562159415296

RT @venikunche: Yay! 🥳

Shameless plug: If you are from an underrepresented group in tech, should check out our job board: https://t.co/GUE…

@derrickgrigg I think if you’re saying “officials were wrong,” you should have an alternative plan.

Very easy to criticize; much more difficult to form a cogent alternative.

@Webster_Aaron Yes. Now that Omicron is ebbing, folks are ready for restrictions to end. (Naturally!)

But support for the mandates (when they were needed) has been strong throughout the pandemic.

@derrickgrigg But what actions would you have taken, specifically?

I imagine the constraints are:

- You can't overwhelm the health system
- You can't overwhelm ICUs
- You can't grind down nurses, doctors, etc..

So what’s your plan?

@ChaseFlorell I’m not sure “fed up” is an accurate description either.😉

The mandates have had strong support. Your poll didn’t ask if they “supported the mandates up until now.”

I agree that as Omicron ebbs, folks will want restrictions relaxed (which health officials have said they’ll do)

@ChaseFlorell Agreed.

The virus also changed a lot in 5 months!

If your point is that people don’t want indefinite mandates, I agree. That was never the plan.

@derrickgrigg Ok.

If you were in charge, how would your response have been different?

@derrickgrigg You’re mischaracterizing:

a) the approaches of those other countries
b) their relative success

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/so-was-sweden-a-covid-success-or-failure/2021/10/14/fe2747f6-2cb8-11ec-b17d-985c186de338_story.html

@derrickgrigg But is that unique to Canada?

Every health region in the world is had to deal with the same thing: a new variant that spread rapidly. Nearly every region in the world implemented similar measures to ensure health systems didn’t collapse.

We’re likely at the tail end of omicron.

@mikeymayers And, Ipsos uses the word "mandate" to describe "that vaccination will be mandatory for air and train travel."

https://www.ipsos.com/sites/default/files/ct/news/documents/2021-08/Week%201%20Issues%20Factum_2021_8_19.pdf

@mikeymayers Mandate is defined as "an official order or commission to do something."

All of the mandates in the Ipsos poll are listed here under "Support for Pandemic Measures, by Stated Vote Intention"

Not sure why you would say some of these are mandates, and some aren't?

@mikeymayers In Canada, the word "mandate" seems to apply to government requirements for travel, gatherings, restaurants, etc.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/a-look-at-canada-s-vaccine-mandates-and-public-health-restrictions-1.5757218

@mikeymayers Wouldn't air travel and train travel apply to everyone?

@mikeymayers A Leger poll found:

"78% support requiring proof of vaccination against COVID-19 to visit non-essential public places where numerous people typically congregate, including concert halls and festivals."

https://globalnews.ca/news/8238449/covid-vaccine-passport-public-places-poll/

@mikeymayers From Ipsos:

"82% support proof of vaccination for flying on an airplane or taking a train (internationally or inter-provincially)."

@mikeymayers I'm not sure I understand.

With 84% of Canadians vaccinated... haven't they already made the personal choice?

"I paid my taxes and think others should as well."

@mikeymayers Sorry, I misunderstood your question.

The Freedom Convoy is a “blanket” protest protesting all forms of vaccine mandates:

https://torontosun.com/news/national/convoy-plans-to-replace-canadas-elected-government-the-stuff-of-fantasy

@mikeymayers Blanket protest.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/1/28/why-are-anti-vaccine-canadian-truckers-converging-on-ottawa

@ChaseFlorell Got it. So what are you going to do to validate that hypothesis?

What's your plan?

@ChaseFlorell How are you going to validate your hypothesis?

@ChaseFlorell Source?

@theKevinShen So true.
