Exactly. Only hope is 100% vaccination, by mandate if necessary, or quarantining them

As a Canadian Diane do you really care a lot about the stupid behaviour of the GOP followers? And i mean stupid. Alberta similar and Ontario under Ford far too slow and stupid to enforce vaccination passports. As for the mad non-deal Trudeau did with China for vaccinations...Canada has little to boast about and please address this and do not obsess about our neighbors.

The trouble is, as I see it, that even doubly or triply vaccinated humans can carry and infect others. So allowing vaccinated to enter an indoor event, be it a pub or arena, still spreads the disease. We now have wolves in sheep's clothing as they say. So unvaccinated people will get covid at some point whether they like it or not. As an aside it looks like studies of HCQ

( hydroxychloroquin) alone does not mitigate covid, but adding zinc had an " increased frequency of being discharged home (OR 1.53, 95 % CI 1.12–2.09) and reduction in mortality" https://tinyurl.com/bzra4zaf . The simple addition of zinc improves the outcome it would seem.
