It should never have gone through as there is no need for it 95% of the time. In addition why do all the studies and agree something only to change it mid way through. Obviously they needed a reason to increase the shingles and are using this.

Are they keeping the mask mandate for Kids to try coercive parents to vaccinated them before they will get rid of the mandate. I have heard that they have allowed some schools out west not to wear if enough kids are vaccinated.

Condolences to the family, unfortunately there is always this risk. As others have mentioned we need to get serious on disposing of fish carcasses.
