They've already won? Did I miss the big announcement that vaccines are no longer required?

I've got to give everyone involved credit.
They are all impervious to the cold.
If that was in St. Louis, people would be freezing to death left and right.

Any birther worth his posts on Birther Report could tell you, they won because they "got the word out" which "made people ask questions".Slim Cognito wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 2:04 pm They've already won? Did I miss the big announcement that vaccines are no longer required?
And then the American people elected the chief birther to be president, so don't be overly sure that they aren't actually winning.

He's also a fool (idiot) to think that if the truckers succeed in getting the Canadian government to cancel the mandate, that the hospital will be forced to admit unvaccinated visitors. They won't.

Re: "Freedom Convoy" Canadian Trucker Protest against COVID Vaccine Mandates and Other Grievances
It says she's getting palliative care, which usually means "end of life" care, right? So, it sounds like his daughter may be *dying* and he's REFUSNG to see her because he doesn't want a vaccine. That's just cruel, really. He's a real GDMFSOB.LM K wrote: ↑Fri Feb 18, 2022 4:44 pmHe's able to visit ... he simply refuses to do so. Get vaccinated, asshole.

Perhaps it is better that she be surrounded by those that care about her..
Rather than this POS that only cares about himself.

So his daughter is receiving treatment to reduce her suffering, cause unspecified. Which means she probably needs her father whether she is dying or not.What is palliative care?
Palliative (pal-lee-uh-tiv) care is treatment of the discomfort, symptoms, and stress of serious illness. You receive palliative care at the same time that you’re receiving treatments for your illness.
Palliative care provides relief from symptoms including pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, constipation, nausea, loss of appetite, problems with sleep, and many other symptoms. It can also help you deal with the side effects of the medical treatments you’re receiving. Perhaps most important, palliative care can help improve your quality of life and provide help to your family as well.
Are palliative care and hospice the same thing?
Palliative care is available to you at any time during your illness. You can receive palliative care at the same time you receive other treatments for your illness. Its availability does not depend upon whether your condition can be cured. The goal is to make you as comfortable as possible and improve your quality of life.
You don’t have to be in hospice or at the end of life to receive palliative care. Palliative care is part of the hospice care approach. Hospice focuses on a person’s final months of life. To qualify for some hospice programs, patients must no longer be receiving treatments to cure their illness.
Palliative care can help manage the advanced symptoms of a serious illness and support families. Palliative care provides assistance with advance care planning, goal-concordant care, and provides emotional, social and spiritual support to patients and families.

Things did seem to calm down a bit when all of a sudden there was *the distant whop whop whop of helicopters, the faint puff of tiny parachutes opening and the ferocious welps of highly trained Assault Dachshunds as they descended upon some truckers. Word was it was the final things they saw and heard*. Many left immediately, they only got as far as "Hold...The....". . Seems like after the 699th stopped Lindell, they helicoptered up to Ottawa.

If she's getting palliative care to help with problems from her treatment, wouldn't they just say she's getting being treated for an illness? It's the focus on the palliative care and her being in a "care residence" that led me to my thinking she's likely being given end of life treatment. Maybe I'm wrong, but even if I am, he's still a GDMFSOB for treating her like this. (Though I also kind of agree with Dave that if this is how their going to treat her, she may be better off without them around.)What is palliative care?

As this was happening a bicycle was thrown at the feet of one of the horses in an attempt to injure it. One person was arrested for intentionally harming a police service animal.
