Chekhov   485 #3999 Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) Canada: Unvaccinated father loses right to see his child https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59979408 A Canadian father who has not been vaccinated against Covid has temporarily lost the right to see his 12-year-old child. A judge ruled his visits would not be in the child's "best interest".  Does anyone think this can be right ? Bear in mind that no child is at any significant risk from Covid.

Much worse in fact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Bear in mind that to qualify the person would have to want to wear a face mask, which I cannot imagine anybody does.  No, the person from Hull, said they have to wear a "facefit" mask all day, and she did not like it one bit, quite understandably. I was at the GPs today and he acknowledged that some NHS staff are required to wear a "facefit" mask all day, but he was more optimistic than I am that NHS staff would not have to wear masks forever. I am not saying it will defn happen, but I would say the odds were worse than 50/50. In 2020 there were no special "face-fit" masks. There was a "face-fit" procedure to ensure the effectiveness of the masks being used. I seriously doubt that anything is different today.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Chekhov   485 #4002 Posted January 13, 2022 Now come on, this truly is absolute ****** :  Face masks make people look more attractive, study finds https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/13/face-masks-make-people-look-more-attractive-study-finds There have been precious few positives during the Covid pandemic but British academics may have unearthed one: people look more attractive in protective masks. Researchers at Cardiff University were surprised to find that both men and women were judged to look better with a face covering obscuring the lower half of their faces. In what may be a blow for producers of fashionable coverings – and the environment – they also discovered that a face covered with a disposable-type surgical mask was likely to be deemed the most appealing.  Obviously it's absolute tosh, but, if it isn't the world really has gone absolutely stark staring mad, and I fear for its future.

Double vaccinated players total 59%, 16% are set to get the jab, while 25% of players currently do not intend to get a vaccine.  Are the EFL the "thought police" now, they should employ Tom Cruise's character from Minority Report.  Total and utter garbage.
