I still can't book flights to Canada via Alaska Airlines. I guess they have little faith anything will open with the Delta variant on the march.
One of my brothers is working on this as we type. He's on Bainbridge, and told me that the pharmacy there didn't have the correct test kit, but he thinks he's found one in Seattle. I'll update as the saga progresses.Quote:

What vaccine did I get? Hell no I'm not being an experiment for the global elites.Quote:

Apparently a $45 antigen test is sufficient for US entry, but Canada still requires the expensive $225 PCR one or whatever that's called.Quote:

That won't work. Needs to be a molecular test.Quote:

Does anyone know if the Vault test will be acceptable?
My wife and son just got tested on Saturday in Bellevue, WA and had results back in under 24hrs.Quote:

Another way to look at it is the U.S. has fully vaccinated 160 million people, Canada has fully vaccinated 19 million people.Quote:

Not putting it on par with anything, just relating anecdotal evidence. And 160 million is hella more than 19 million, logistically speaking.Quote:

160 million woulsnt be f all if you had to vax 10 trillion. You measure rates in %. This is getting M bare assing. Step away from the computer
You have 10x our population and we had a slower start with vax's. We're destroying you goons. Flying by you like youre standing still atm/no hyperbole

Still kind of funny to think that even if you fully vaccinate every single Canadian citizen eventually, that won't even equal one-quarter of the number we have fully vaccinated TODAY.Quote:

America has a much higher death rate per million pop than India cuz there are only 333 million Americans compared to 1.4 billion Indians
so America with an abundance of the vax looks even worse on paper than India
math is hard eh
are you about to post one of those maps that show what counties voted for trump?Quote:

You been talking to my wife again?
yeahman does have a point. The fact the U.S. was able to quickly mobilize and gets those shots into arms quickly was impressive. What's less impressive is the number of idiots who aren't willing to get said shots. But no matter how you slice it, the U.S. has gotten lots of people vaccinated.
Lovely, we're handing out participation awards now. Im sure that will scare the virus away

He was asked in a CNN interview what happened and why Canada had surpassed the U.S. in the rate of first and second doses despite the U.S.'s months-long head start.
Fauci blamed politics in the U.S.
"Canada is doing better not because we are trying any less than they are trying. It's because in Canada you don't have that divisiveness of people not wanting to get vaccinated, in many respects, on the basis of ideology and political persuasion," he replied. ""
Because 50% of ‘Muricans are stupitards.
I am sure they exist in Canada, but at a far lesser percentage.
Only 50%, you’re too kind.Quote:

I think Trump could have singlehandedly saved the lives of 150k Americans if he thot about it for > 15 seconds and gave the right message
