Following Quebec’s decision to impose a tax on the unvaccinated simply for remaining unvaccinated, Federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos says they have no intention of “forcibly, physically vaccinating” Canadians.
They also had no intention of vaccine mandates.
The study, which was conducted by Kaiser Permanente Southern California but has not yet been peer-reviewed, also showed that people with Omicron infections are 74% less likely to need to be placed in the intensive care unit (ICU). And the study found a 53% reduction in risk of being hospitalized, said Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Legault’s proposal could further erode trust in government, Black Health Alliance executive director says.
The billionaire gave a weirdly content-free statement to Devi Sridhar
Very few private individuals have had a bigger impact on the global fight against the Covid pandemic than Bill Gates. Through the work of his foundation, the tech billionaire is a major player. What he has to say on the issue is worth our attention.
More children in Canada need to get their COVID-19 jabs, Trudeau says
“Almost half of kids across this country have gotten their vaccine. … We need to get more, so please ask your parents if you can get vaccinated,” Trudeau said, addressing children directly during a regular briefing.
It is not, nor ever will be, rightly called a health tax. It’s a punishment tax. A punishment tax for exercising adult judgment on your own health. Who owns universal health care? Is it the citizens who fund it, or the politicians and bureaucrats who think they are in charge of it? Who, in Quebec and elsewhere, are now using as a bludgeon what was supposed to be a universal solace.
A Quebec Superior Court judge has temporarily suspended a father’s right to see his child based on evidence that the man is not vaccinated against COVID-19 and appears to oppose government anti-pandemic health measures.
In a decision published Dec. 23, Justice J. Sebastien Vaillancourt wrote that continued visitation was not in the interest of the 12-year-old child or the child’s two younger half-siblings, given the state of the pandemic.
Ontario’s top doctor said Wednesday that he would not recommend a tax on those who aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19 and said that Quebec’s plan seems “punitive.”
Dr. Kieran Moore was asked during an unrelated press conference Wednesday for him comments on Quebec’s planned tax on the unvaccinated and whether Ontario should consider a similar measure.
China has reportedly set up brutal, eerie-looking “quarantine camps” as at least 20 million people are in restrictive lockdowns weeks ahead of the Winter Olympics.
Video posted to Twitter shows staff fully covered in white protective clothing standing near row upon row of small white cubicles lined up on the grounds of what appears to be a sports stadium.
Other footage claims to be from within one of the cell-like temporary buildings, with the occupant showing just a bare-framed bed and small, dirty-looking bathroom.
LIVE: Ronald McDonald House to Evict Unvaccinated Childrenhttps://t.co/MjmL7KAvx6

A young Kelowna family says it is being evicted from Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in Vancouver where their 4-year-old son is fighting leukemia because they don’t have COVID shots.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says provinces are “right” to consider ways to encourage and incentivize COVID-19 vaccination.
His comments come just one day after Quebec Premier Francois Legault announced plans to impose a tax on any unvaccinated Quebecers who don’t have a valid medical exemption.
“Different jurisdictions are making different decisions about how to encourage people to get vaccinated, and as a federal government, we will be continuing to be there to support them in those decisions and to make sure that everyone gets vaccinated,” Trudeau said.
Fauci was the darling of the media in the early days of the pandemic. Yet, as time passed, the truth about his past caught up with him. Moreover, his present didn’t do him any favors either. His habitual contradictions on COVID-19 precautions were never helpful. He was also quick to criticize certain people but not others for failing to follow safety recommendations.
Waterboard him – we need the complete truth to punish those responsible for 5.3 million deaths. After that, do with him what you will. This began as a plot to prevent Trump from being reelected, then they shifted to controlling people and increasing government power worldwide.
More than 7,000 people registered for their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine Tuesday, amid threats by Quebec officials to tax the unvaccinated.
“Our highest in several days,” tweeted Quebec Health Minister Christian Dubé, noting that 5,000 appointments were also made on Monday. “This is encouraging.”
Dubé notes the appointments were made across all the age groups, and 107,000 doses of vaccine were administered Tuesday alone.
The Trudeau government’s stubborn insistence that all cross-border truckers entering Canada show proof of double vaccination starting this coming Saturday sums up officialdom’s continuing fight against the pandemic to a tee.
Ont. reports 46 net new virus-related deaths; 505 patients with COVID-19 now in ICU
Ontario Health Minister Christine Elliott says about 54 per cent of people hospitalized with COVID-19 were admitted due to the virus while 46 per cent were admitted for other reasons. For those in the ICU, 83 per cent per cent were admitted due to COVID-19 and 17 per cent were admitted for other reasons and are now testing positive, she added.
Another 9,783 new cases were logged today but due to testing restrictions, that number is likely a significant undercount of the true number of new infections in Ontario.

Possible legal consequences begin for Sunwing passengers after feds spot 12 alleged infractions
Health Canada has started the process for possible legal consequences for some of the passengers on the infamous Sunwing flight to Cancun on Dec. 30.
However, the alleged infractions the agency is looking at are not related to the partying on the plane, according to Quebec prosecutors.
“These files do not cover the events that occurred during the flight, the images of which made the headlines,” said Audrey Roy-Cloutier, a spokesperson for the Quebec Crown prosecutors’ office.
