The freedom convoy of antivaxers here in Canada are a bunch of facist pigs.

Your first sentence is correct. The rest are wrong.

While vaccinated people can spread the virus, unvaccinated people spread it more.
Reasons to get vaccinated:
1) As you say - to protect yourself.
2) If you get infected, less likely to spread it to others.
3) Less likely to be hospitalized. This reduces pressure on our health care systems and health care workers. When hospital capacity is maxed out, due to people who might have avoided hospitalization by getting vaccinated, other people who need a hospital bed for other reasons are being deprived.

There is a slight difference in the ability to spread, not worth risking getting the vaccine. If you are healthy and not in an at risk group you are extremely unlikely to end up in a hospital and even less likely of dying. We don’t force obese people to get gastric bypass, alcoholics to stop drinking, smokers to stop smoking or force couch potatoes to work out…. all of which would open up beds in hospitals. We are no longer in the beginning of a pandemic and we have learned a lot. All precautions should cease full stop for all but the at risk. Our response to the pandemic will have ramifications for an entitled generation. Fortunately our politicians are starting to “follow the science”.

Any "risk" one would be taking by getting vaccinated pales in comparison with the risk of complications resulting from contracting COVID. For example, the risk of developing myocarditis and pericarditis cases in people receiving an mRNA vaccine are lower than developing the same condition as a result of being infected with COVID.

Myocarditis and Pericarditis After mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination | CDC

The known risks of COVID-19 illness and its related, possibly severe complications, such as long-term health problems, hospitalization, and even death, far outweigh the potential risks of having a rare adverse reaction to vaccination, including the possible risk of myocarditis or pericarditis.

The risk of side effects from vaccination are so low, that there is no logical reason for any eligible person to not get vaccinated.

We don’t force obese people to get gastric bypass, alcoholics to stop drinking, smokers to stop smoking or force couch potatoes to work out…. all of which would open up beds in hospitals.

This is a strawman argument, as nobody is being forced to get vaccinated. People are being strongly encouraged and in certain circumstances, there are vaccination mandates, which entail choosing to get vaccinated, or find another line of work.

We are no longer in the beginning of a pandemic and we have learned a lot. All precautions should cease full stop for all but the at risk. Our response to the pandemic will have ramifications for an entitled generation. Fortunately our politicians are starting to “follow the science”.

Restrictions are being eased, because the science is saying that it is safe to do so. That doesn't mean previous restrictions weren't enacted from not following science. But their reduction/removal should be based on advice from public health experts, not whiny 5-year-olds in adult bodies.

It would be a supreme irony to utilize such a device, since local residents just got a court injunction to stop the protesters sounding their truck horns day and night.

It might be a supreme irony, but it would be supremely satisfying as well!

Restated, the fear of vaccines is irrational.

"There is no increased risk for mortality among COVID-19 vaccine recipients."

This report describes lower non-COVID-19 death rates among COVID-19 vaccinated people.

Bagpipes are probably the most effective.

Bagpipes are probably the most effective.

Maybe it's because I live in New Scotland, but I love bagpipes.

I am partial to bagpipes too. Always leave a lump in my throat when I hear them. Think this is the best bagpipe movie scene I can remember.

Kind of a love/hate relationship. Recommendation: play them on Canadian PA systems.

Maybe, but those acoustic devices are incredibly directional and nobody who's not in direct line hears anything, or almost. I watched a video that demonstrated this and the host, who had been in some type of Special Force, stood near the path, then stepped into it- he immediately covered his ears and stepped back again.

Damn, wall of sound indeed! Those photos are taken indoors soon to be outdoors if they are turned on.

The wall itself is made from wooden framing and concrete.

The larger woofers are ElectroVoice 30W, 30" diameter.

I wish I still had mine. They're the reason I don't bother with a subwoofer.

Yeah, I wouldn't think you would need one with that setup. Must have been hard to move on after those.
