Vaccine seems to be working in Ontario

Based on this data, and comparing to a year ago, the vaccine seems to be doing
a very good job at controlling both the number of infections and certainly the hospitalizations.

Ontario Dashboard - Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table (covid19-sciencetable.ca)

It seems ICU occupancy is almost as high as it was a year ago (although still a bit lower) ... but the majority of that is with unvaccinated individuals,
if we compare the chart "Daily COVID-19 Hospital and ICU Occupancy in Ontario" to "COVID-19 Patients in ICU".

We've had a good 4 to 5 solid weeks of being in the peak zone for virus transmission (5'C to 14'C, with peak at 11'C). That should have been enough
time to test the theory that the virus would break out significantly with colder weather, despite the vaccine. Looks like to me the vaccine is working ...
and let's not forget, this time last year we were basically in full lockdown, whereas right now, we can do pretty much whatever we want ... even sit next
to people in movie theaters and hockey rinks!

Most RIH outbreak patients vaccinated, with majority of cases mild

Of the 36 patients who have tested positive in the four concurrent COVID-19 outbreaks at Royal Inland Hospital, 31 were fully immunized, two were partially immunized and three were not vaccinated. There have been three deaths

Of the 36 patients who have tested positive in the four concurrent COVID-19 outbreaks at Royal Inland Hospital, 31 were fully immunized, two were partially immunized and three were not vaccinated.

The patients are in the hospital for non-COVID-19-related issues and are not patients in the hospital’s COVID-19 units, where vaccination rates are “extraordinary lower,” according to Interior Health in communication with KTW.

Interior Health said that of the 36 people who were in RIH when they contracted COVID-19, three are in critical care as of Monday, with the vast majority of cases being mild and discovered through asymptomatic testing.

“Fortunately, these statistics demonstrate how the COVID-19 vaccine can prevent severe illness and death,” Interior Health told KTW. “We are also fortunate to have very few deaths related to this outbreak due to the high vaccination uptake.”

As of Monday, there have been a total of 45 cases connected to the quartet of outbreaks — 36 patients and nine RIH staff members.

There have been three deaths, though whether the deceased were vaccinated or had co-morbidities has not been revealed, due to privacy concerns.

The outbreaks are on unit 5 South (medical ward, declared on Nov. 2), unit 7 North (renal/cardiac ward, declared on Nov. 8), unit 6 South (surgical ward, declared on Nov. 10) and unit 5 North (stroke/rehab ward, declared on Nov. 13).

The health authority had maintained throughout outbreaks at RIH that it is safe for people to visit for emergency care.

However that changed on Nov. 10 when Interior Health said only essential visitors are permitted at Royal Inland Hospital. Essential visitors include:

• Visits for compassionate care: including critical illness, palliative care, hospice care, end-of-life and medical assistance in dying;

• Visits to patients in the emergency department or intensive care unit;

• Visits for pediatric care, labour and delivery;

• Visits necessary to support a patient’s physical care (such as help with feeding or mobility), mental well-being or decision-making.

Interior Health said all services continue to be available at RIH, adding that the hospital remains safe to visit for anyone needing emergency care.

Oh but the unvaccinated that are in the hospital for other various reasons never get a mention like the vaccinated lol.

It's just the unvaccinated.


Almost booster time apparently even Anthony Fauci said the other day that the protection from hospitalization and death is waning already.

There was an outbreak in the hospital. The unvaccinated who were in the hospital for others reasons caught the virus there.

I was just tossing jokes about how they piped up so fast about the vaccinated. Many have been to the hospital for different reasons unvaccinated but they never tell you. They just toss everything at the unvaccinated it's part of their tools to manipulate you lol. The unvaccinated are the problem they say.

This is an outbreak at the hospital I see. I said that would happen when you suppress the symptoms and still allow transmission. This is why I didn't get the push for 100 % compliance how do you tell who has the virus?

Even playing hockey fully vaccinated testing 3 times a day? Why for ? So they spread it ?

I'm staying a pure blood.

It doesn't clarify anything. it states, clearly, 33 fully/partial patients of 36 patients in the hospital have tested positive for the virus.

Positive case counts don't include where they were they were tested and it never said that they were hospitalized because of Covid.

You're quoting Randy Hillier? Really? If you intend to maintain even a modicum of crebility,you need to do a lot better work than this.
