If the Governments of Canada and British Columbia actually cared about your health, they would not be pushing vaccines and boosters at this late date.
My best guess is that pretty much everyone in Canada and British Columbia will get infected with Omicron by or on January 15th, 2022. If you haven’t already been vaccinated or had your booster, it is almost certain you will catch omicron before either could offer you significant protection, assuming you haven’t already done so.
On the other hand there are some important things you could do to reduce your risks. This video from the Government of El Salvador is marvelous. If our Governments had a modicum of competence or even a shred of integrity they would have weeks ago produced something like this:
Even better would be to give specific supplement advice for seniors, which will be the group most at risk for hospitalization and/or death. For starters they could report on what this study from Singapore found:
Please note how modest the level of supplements given was: 1,000 IU of Vitamin D, 150mg of Magnesium, and 500mcg of Vitamin B12. These are not mega-doses. These are amounts that nutritionists would prescribe to just about anyone. Yet they had a huge impact in avoiding bad outcomes in the hospital. Vitamin C and Zinc, again in modest doses, have also shown strong protective value against bad COVID outcomes. If your governments cared even a tiny bit about your wellbeing, if they really were concerned about keeping hospitalization rates low, they would be recommending these five nutrients NOW.
Instead, your governments have totally abandoned you.
Now is a time where you need to take particular good care of yourself in all of the ways described above, because, clearly, you are on your own.
PS: Joe Biden still persists in calling Omicron a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Justin Trudeau also wants to blame the unvaccinated. They can only get away with making such misleading statements because Canadian and US data tracking are so hopelessly inadequate. If we look at the most recent data from Denmark - a country that is competent in its data tracking - we see the following:
More than 90% of omicron cases are occuring in those who have been vaccinated.
Yes, full vacciination will reduce but not eliminate your risk of hospitalization or death. But full vaccination offers basically zero protection against becoming infected with omicron. Even booster vaccination provides only limited protection against omicron infection. You should assume you will be infected with omicron and act accordingly.
Everyone and there dog wants to blame it on someone. You see, when you mess up as a child, how often would you blame it on someone? Ever played basketball, missed a shot and pretend you got fouled?
This simply gives us information, not new information, but information that our government is run by small children in a adults body.
