Rick, I read quite a bit. When I read differing points of view, they have to be convincing for me to change my mind. They have to offer a believable POV, backed with evidence. Nothing that I've seen so far has made me change my mind about Health Canada's views on COVID, or the treatments they suggest.

WRT COVID, I trust most doctors and scientists who studied and work in related fields. I also respect someone who is adaptable and open to changes in procedure. The example I use most often is Theresa Tam. She is Canada's chief public health officer. When COVID first appeared, she said that masks would not help the public and that there was no point wearing them. A short while later, in consultation with other doctors, she changed her position. She said that wearing masks was a good idea.

As a doctor, Tam is open to change. If she is to be trusted, change will be part of the mix.

WRT COVID, since I am not an infectious disease specialist, I will trust those who are, unless they give me a reason to stop. I will not listen to anyone who insults, swears or attempts to bully me into changing my mind. I go to a doctor for medical issues, not a barber or a truck driver. I do not believe any of the myriad conspiracy theories floating on the Internet.

I suspect that we will see more dissenters like the ones who posted above. They add nothing to any conversation. They enjoy bad mouthing or insulting others. It seems to give them pleasure.

You might have a different opinion, and I respect that. I appreciate that you chose not to name call or insult in an effort to convince me to change my mind.
