Whistler, in British Columbia, has nearly 200 of 877 confirmed cases in the province but officials have only a murky idea of how widely variant has spread

WNU Editor: Canada has very strict Covid-19 controls at the border. You can only come in with a negative test, and after arriving you are put in a hotel where another test will be taken to make sure that you are negative.

I hope so too. I've had my first dose as well. This is a very serious disease but the over the top hysteria isn't helping. In my case, the upside health potential of getting vaccinated seems to outweigh the downside health risks of doing so but it's VERY CLOSE.
In the final analysis, vaccine passports are coming to America. Within the next year the non vaccinated aren't going to be able carry out the basic necessities of life. When it gets fully implemented, there's going to be a mass clamor among the holdouts to get vaccinated meaning long wait lists. While waiting, they're put of options. Essentially the only viable option is get vaccinated, get your family vaccinated, and pray it's safe and effective.
