COVID-19: Canadian businesses face abuse over vaccine passports
Global News in Canada shows that "vaccine passports" are a reality in most provinces across Canada, and are now required in British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec.
But with those mandates now in place, they also continue to encounter anger by some Canadians, and businesses are already bearing the brunt of threats and harassment from people resisting requirements. In one case in Toronto, police arrested two people after anti-vaccine passport protestors tried to storm the city's biggest shopping centre.

COVID-19: Study suggests Pfizer vaccine effectiveness drops after 6 months
Global News has the story about the vaccine.
How long does COVID-19 vaccine protection last? It's a question scientists have been asking since the vaccines were first approved for use.
Now, a study suggests the protection from the Pfizer vaccine in preventing infection may run out sooner than expected. After six months, 46 people tested showed greatly reduced antibodies.
As Aaron McArthur reports, if those findings are verified in a larger study group, it could prompt a major rethink about COVID-19 booster shots.
Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp come back online
Global News: Global National in Canada explains that Facebook went offline as it faced heat for ethics.
Global News shows that Facebook, Inc.'s family of popular platforms, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, all went offline for hours on Monday, causing disruptions around the world. As Mike Armstrong reports, the outage came after a whistleblower raised red flags about the company putting profits over safety.
(On October 4, 2021) Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp certainly slowly come back online.
Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are coming back online Monday night after experiencing global outages throughout the time of the day.
It seems that the website service resumed for some users at around 6 p.m. EDT. The unexpected outages left many people around the world unable to communicate on the platforms for more than six hours.
According to the so-called website DownDetector, users began reporting outage issues at around 11:20 a.m. EDT.
"Downdetector" is really an online platform that provides users with real-time information about the status (for example: offline or online) of various websites and services.
Facebook Company explained the reasons in an update late Monday night stating that configuration changes on the backbone routers that co-ordinate network traffic between the company's data centres was the cause of the outage. The changes disrupted communication between the data centres, which unfortunately halted online services.
Facebook Company also said, "We also have no evidence that user data was compromised as a result of this downtime."
Facebook shares fell 4.9 % Monday, down to US$326.23.
Facebook log in or facebook login was certainly impossible for some time. People were relieved when they could finally login facebook. The facebook market place would benefit from less interruptions. Facebook marketplace has interesting things to buy and sell. Facebook sign in is always good when it works. Facebook messenger is interesting for live chat.
FB stock (Facebook, Inc. Common Stock) certainly benefits from the site always being online. Keep an eye on facebook stock for future growths. Mark Zuckerberg (facebook owner) is hard at work.
