Interesting that Health Canada is no longer advising covid shots for healthy adults?

It recommends two doses of the vaccine per year for people 80 years of age and older, long-term care residents and people six months of age and older who are moderately to severely immunocompromised.

The advisory committee recommends one shot per year for people between 65 and 79 years of age, health-care workers and people at risk of getting severely ill from COVID-19.

You're going to need herd immunity. Canada is dangerously close to a country where RFK Jr is in charge of public health.

there is no herd immunity against covid without a sterilizing vaccine

Man, I can't wait to cross the border into Canada so I can get a vaccine booster for me and my family.
