Vax-A-Million fail? Vaccine lotteries across 19 states had near ‘zero’ effect on immunization rates, new study finds

Covid-19 ‘vaccine lottery’ schemes across 19 states had no noticeable effect on vaccination rates and may have squandered millions in tax dollars, according to newly published research that suggests the programs were a major flop.

Published in the JAMA medical journal on Friday, the pre-print study by researchers at the University of Colorado Denver showed that the links between vaccine lottery announcements and inoculation rates were “very small in magnitude” and “statistically indistinguishable from zero.”

Beaumont, Alta., bakery ordered to close over ‘vaccine passport’ rules remains open

A Beaumont, Alta., bakery owner says she’d rather lose her business than stick her nose into that of her customers by asking for their proof of vaccination.

“I refuse to ask for the vaccine passports. It’s not any of my business,” Jen Foster from Bake My Day told CTV News Edmonton Wednesday.

As of Sept. 20, only restaurants that ask for vaccine proof, or a negative COVID-19 test, are allowed to stay open for in-person dining.

Ontario reports 496 new Covid cases … and an end to Mask mandates?

Ontario reports 496 new COVID-19 cases, 2 more deaths

Ontario is reporting fewer than 500 new COVID-19 cases and two more deaths today as the province released vaccine certificate QR codes that residents can use as proof of vaccination at non-essential businesses.

The province logged 496 new infections today, up from 417 on Thursday but down from 573 a week ago.


FUREY: Ending capacity limits great but Ontario must revise rigid mask rules next

One bigger step that we really need to talk about is rolling back mandatory mask rules. That’s the key thing those who return from abroad say: And they weren’t even wearing masks!

How to Deal With an Anti-Vaxxer at a Holiday Dinner

The first thing to get inside your mind: Facts will not work. I’ve seen very well-meaning people come “armed” (which is an interesting word, right?) with logic and science to go against red-hat wearers. That will never carry the day. Second: Don’t think that you’ll resolve anything, or that you’ll even discuss vaccines necessarily, over that meal.

Why It’s A Serious Violation Of Medical Ethics To Force Kids To Get COVID Shots

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate for schoolchildren age 12 and older — and other similar mandates popping up around the country — raises the question: For a patient population that predominately suffers only mild to no symptoms, is it ethical to coerce them to receive a vaccine that provides little benefit and causes rare but significant side effects?
