For those who suffered side effects following COVID vaccination, the adverse symptoms were likely well worth it — even if they didn’t really have to experience them.
“China eats weird animals disease”
New poll shows support for government COVID measures waning
Since December, approval of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s handling of the pandemic has dipped by five percentage points. Only 49% of those polled now say they approve of Trudeau’s response to the Omicron variant.
Federal Government Mum on Non-COVID Mortality Spike in Americans Aged 18 to 49
Federal authorities have yet to respond to an Epoch Times analysis that shows a dramatic increase in deaths of 18- to 49-year-olds in the United States in the past year. The majority of those deaths weren’t associated with the COVID-19 disease.
China’s impossible COVID statistics
As the latest wave of COVID cases surges in the West, all is quiet in the East. It has always been quiet. Millions have died from the coronavirus epidemic as it sweeps the world. However, few consider it strange that the nation where the virus first appeared amid an entirely unprotected public of 1.3 billion people should record a mere 4,636 fatalities over the past three years.
Austria becomes first EU country to pass vaccine mandate
Austria’s parliament on Thursday passed a vaccine mandate that will require all adults in the country to get vaccinated against COVID-19 beginning in February. The move makes Austria the first EU country to pass a vaccine mandate, despite tens of thousands of angry citizens continuing to protest such measures in Austria and across Europe.
The law enjoyed broad support in parliament, with only far-right legislators voting against it in a 137-33 tally. After an “introductory phase” ending mid-March, those who refuse to get the shot will face fines of up to €3,600 ($4,084). The mandate only applies to adults and makes exemptions for pregnant women and those with medical conditions that prevent them from getting the jab.

FUREY: Ontario on cusp of a COVID transition — let’s welcome it
On Wednesday, the United Kingdom announced it will lift all COVID restrictions on Jan. 26, based on the mildness of Omicron and how it’s receding.
Ontario is long overdue to play catch-up with the United States’ more evolved approach to managing the virus, and now it looks like we’ll be left playing catch-up with the U.K., as well.
We can hope.
UPDATE: Ontario announces reopening plan; restaurants, gyms, theatres to reopen at 50% capacity on Jan. 31
Ontario will allow restaurants, gyms, theatres and other indoor settings to reopen at 50 per cent capacity as of Jan. 31 as part of a wider plan to gradually lift most COVID-19 restrictions by mid-March.

Ont. reports 75 more deaths linked to COVID-19, lowest positivity rate in nearly a month
Officials reported another 75 virus-related deaths today, which the province says happened over a 19-day span within the past month. This is the highest daily total logged since Jan. 17, 2021, when 76 deaths were reported.
Another 7,757 new lab-confirmed cases were confirmed today but due to testing restrictions, that number is likely significantly lower than the true total.
With 42,907 tests processed over the past 24 hours, officials are reporting a provincewide positivity rate of 15.9 per cent, the lowest positivity rate in nearly a month.
4,061 people are hospitalized with #COVID19. 55% were admitted to the hospital for COVID-19 and 45% were admitted for other reasons but have tested positive for COVID-19.

As unvaccinated workers sue for wrongful dismissal, Ottawa working on shielding employers
When Prime Minister Justin Trudeau unveiled his election platform on Sept. 1, he made a promise to employers: “we’ll protect businesses that mandate vaccinations from unjustified lawsuits.”
Now, employment lawyers say lawsuits from fired unvaccinated workers are beginning to pile up — and the federal government’s protections are nowhere to be seen.
Weibo users are backing Beijing’s claim that it received Omicron via Canadian mail, saying an ‘ugly nation’ sent them ‘poison’
As China wrestles with its recent series of COVID-19 outbreaks, Beijing has thrown a new allegation into the mix: that remains of the virus on a postal package from Canada could be the source of its Omicron outbreak in the capital.

Canadian lawyer says experimental COVID jab cannot ‘legally’ be forced upon population
A Canadian lawyer has condemned COVID jabs mandates as an “affront to democracy” and hitherto something expected only from “authoritarian regimes.”
“Canadians cannot legally be subjected to forced injections, especially not with an experimental drug treatment that is still undergoing long-term clinical trials and for which there is no long-term safety data,” Allison Kindle Pejovic, a lawyer for the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), told LifeSiteNews.
Ontario will allow in-person dining to resume at 50 per cent capacity at the end of the month: sources
The restrictions were supposed to be in effect until at least Jan. 26 but lifting them was contingent on improving public health indicators.
According to multiple sources, the Ford government now plans to allow 50 per cent capacity in restaurants as of Jan. 31 and will gradually lift other public health restrictions throughout the month of February.
At this point it remains unclear when other sectors that are currently prohibited from operating, such as gyms and theatres, will be able to reopen but Premier Doug Ford did appear to suggest that “positive news” was coming for shuttered business while speaking with a cameraperson at Queen’s Park earlier on Wednesday.
Sabrina Maddeaux: The Liberals are denying citizens their charter right to re-enter Canada
It may be unpopular to stand up for travellers during COVID-19, but violations of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms should concern every Canadian. Reports coming out of the U.S. suggest our federal government is de facto denying Canadian citizens a key right : the one to enter, remain in, or leave Canada.
All plan B Covid restrictions, including mask wearing, to end in England
Boris Johnson has announced the end of all Covid measures introduced to combat the Omicron variant – compulsory mask-wearing on public transport and in shops, guidance to work from home and vaccine certificates – from next week.
The prime minister also told the Commons that the legal requirement on people with coronavirus to self-isolate would be allowed to lapse when the regulations expired on 24 March, and that date could be brought forward.
To cheers from some on the Conservative benches, Johnson announced an immediate end to the need for pupils to wear masks at secondary schools.
