With 82% of its population fully vaccinated, mostly with mRNA vaccines, COVID case incidence on Nov. 1 is the same as Wyoming, where 44% of the population is fully vaccinated. Hospitals are feeling the strain, and deaths are at their highest level.

Widespread political malpractice
What kind of leader cultivates such repeated failures? Answer: the delusional premiers of Canada’s most populous provinces.
