GRANT: Vaccines will never eliminate COVID, so it’s time to pivot our response
Dr. Jennifer Grant, an infectious diseases physician and a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of British Columbia’s Faculty of Medicine, says now is the time to change how we respond to COVID-19.
Vaccines will effectively stop severe disease but never eliminate the coronavirus, so it’s time to change our way of thinking. Grant recommends shifting the focus from how many are vaccinated, to who is. And the only metric that matters is hospitalizations and deaths – not the cases.
FUREY: Read what the kids’ vaccine approval actually says – it’s not a ringing endorsement
Anthony Furey believes every parent needs to read the latest report by Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) outlining the agency’s rationale behind approving the vaccine for children ages five to 11.
The biggie that many aren’t talking about is potential hospitalizations for vaccine-related myocarditis. The report points out that kids’ doses are a third of the volume, which will hopefully minimize these problems, but it also states that the overall safety and effectiveness is limited.

Khloe Kardashian trashed online for reaction to Kyle Rittenhouse verdict
It was a lose-lose for Khloe Kardashian, who posted that she was “speechless and disgusted” following Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal but stayed mum on the deadly Astroworld Festival her kinda-sorta brother-in-law, Travis Scott, put on.
Instead, she posted racy pics following the concert that killed at least 10, sparking outrage from fans and haters alike. Maybe it’s time for a timeout.
NHL star Evander Kane’s divorce just got even dirtier
Speaking of losers, the divorce proceedings between San Jose Sharks star Evander Kane and his estranged wife, Anna, got messier.
The NHLer, who is currently serving a 21-game suspension for using a fake vaccine card, has now accused his ex of faking a pregnancy since July.
The former couple’s second child was reportedly due to arrive in February but Anna admitted in court documents she was “less than forthcoming” regarding an abortion she had in July. Add in Kane’s alleged infidelity and gambling problems, about which Anna informed the league, and OOF.
Russian cannibal arrested after headless body falls out of car
A man in Russia is allegedly responsible for the death of a St. Petersburg man because one, he “likes killing people,” and two, he wanted to taste human flesh.
Unfortunately for him, the “meat was difficult to cut” and the “taste of his veins” were not up to snuff. He also tried the victim’s tongue, which he cooked in butter, but that also didn’t cut it. And there goes our appetites.
