Maybe Sinopharm vaccine isn't as effective as claimed? 60% of the vaccine doses administered was Sinopharm with the rest being AZ.

Maybe a new mutation that has found away around vaccine protection?

A third of the active cases involved people who had had two vaccine doses, the country's news agency said.

How is this even possible?

People think they are immune because they had the vaccine; - rather than they are less likely to get seriously/dangerously ill if they do catch it... so they take fewer precautions, not social distancing / wearing a mask etc., I would presume....having the vaccine doesn't guarantee you won't catch it nor pass it on. Having a positiive test is one thing - but do they have any symptoms..?

I'm part of a Canada wide test to ascertain whether I have natural antibodies to Covid.. I'll be interested to find out the result in about 8-10 weeks.. particularly as I had a bout of illness 4 years ago or more that had the same symptoms as it (a SARS type of illness)... I wonder if I developed any natural immunity - and if so, can it help others?

Perhaps it's in the fully vaccinated aspect which includes the time required after the second dose for it to be effective.
It's noticeable the report then refers to two vaccine doses, which is not quite the same thing as fully vaccinated if the time hasn't passed yet.

NB had a vaccine induced clot death. 60 year old woman.

https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/new-brun...cine-1.5415102

She started having symptoms after 7 days, went to the ER and was admitted to hospital, but died 2 days later.


The first 2 weeks are apparently the high risk for them, but they can apparently happen up to 28 days post vaccination.

Alberta as well, 52 year old woman. She received her first dose on April 21.

Do not know the geography, are there alternate routes to avoid the roadblocks?

Once you leave Vancouver and get to Hope, you have two options of travelling to the interior of BC. Highway 5 (aka Coquihalla) or Trans Canada Highway 1. Both of these routes will have road blocks

Or Highway 3 to I think 5A to 97C to get to Kelowna, we took that route once last summer to see Manning Park and go a different way back, I kind of like that routing best, more scenic and chill and less trucks which is nice.

If this is true and the lady was turned away from the first hospital and told to go home, that isn't acceptable, she may have lived had she not been turned away from the first hospital and sent home. The lady in Alberta who died from a clot, he daughter is the one who is saying the first hospital turned her mother away.

I also forgot about the really really long way via Highway 99. This route has a road check in Lillooet though.
Vancouver > Squamish > Whistler > Lillooet> Cache Creek > Kamloops.

How did I forget that one. I've actually done it once when I first moved to BC as was exploring.

I am afraid, you're not correct here. It's been scientifically proven that one is immune with the vaccine and you can't pass it on. This is certainly the case with the Pfizer/BionTech vaccine and has been published as well. It's sadly only in Canada where the vaccine and it's effectiveness is always in doubt.

Even the lesser effective vector based Astra Zeneca is having a very positive effect in the UK already not only in infection rates, but also in positive attitudes by the general population and politicians. However I am not certain about not passing anything on, when one has had the Astra Zeneca vaccine. At least I haven't red anything anywhere.

What one can actually do out of personal medical interest is to take a blood test around 4 weeks after the 2nd vaccine has been administered, and get the full results on antibodies.
