COVID-19: Vaccines Forever in Canada?
Canada’s Top Doc Says COVID-19 Boosters May Be Required Every 9 Months, ‘Will Never Be Fully Vaxxed’
COVID-19 boosters forever.
Jean-Yves Duclos, Canada’s health minister, told reporters on Monday that the Omicron variant was a reminder that the population will “never be fully vaccinated” against the coronavirus, and hinted that Canadians may have to roll up their sleeves every nine months to protect against new variants.
He told the Toronto Sun that Canadians may be forced to receive booster shots every nine months for the foreseeable future.
“We must continue to fight against COVID,” he said. He continued, “Like the virus, our immunity also evolves. Two doses are no longer enough.”

He told reporters that those who took the vaccine last summer are no longer considered up to date.
“The virus evolves and Omicron made us aware we will never be fully vaccinated against COVID-19… we have to maintain our vaccinations up to date,” he said.
The Netherland Times, citing a study by RIVM, the Dutch public health institute, reported that individuals who took the vaccine about a year ago are barely protected against infection. The study found that those who received a booster shot receive some protection against serious symptoms. A study in Canada found a fourth dose was associated with “strong protection against severe outcomes in vaccinated residents compared with unvaccinated residents, although the duration of protection remains unknown.”

Canada Tosses Out 13.6 Million Doses of AstraZeneca Vaccine
Health Canada announced in a statement Tuesday that it will be tossing out 13.6 million doses of its Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine becaue they will expire and it could not dump them on another country.
AstraZeneca’s vaccine was never approved for use in the U.S. and has faced headwinds ranging from clinical data to harmful side effects, like potential blood clotting.
Health concerns about the jab were not limited to the AstraZeneca. The Trends Journal reported in May that the Food and Drug Administration limited the use of Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine due to the risk of a serious blood clotting disorder that has resulted in at least nine deaths.
The agency has stressed that the clotting condition called thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome is extremely rare, but said its decision “demonstrates the robustness of our safety surveillance systems and our commitment to ensuring that science and data guide our actions."
TRENDPOST: On 4 December, the Healthline website published the article, “What to Know About the AstraZeneca Vaccine Controversy.” This included:
“AstraZeneca announced that its vaccine is 70 percent effective, but a major dosing error during the trials may have affected the overall efficacy.
Some clinical trial participants were mistakenly given half a dose rather than a full dose in their first round of shots.
Researchers discovered that those who were given the weaker dosage produced a better immune response.”
We note this AstraZeneca article to emphasize the fact that these “Operation Warp Speed” vaccinations have been rushed into the marketplace with no scientific efficacy as to what long- and short-term adverse health effects may occur.
Zero shots for me. I’ll go to my grave without ever getting a Covid shot
