In “normal” times, the practice of medicine has many challenges, some from within and some from outside the profession. If you let it, much of your daily practice follows specialty guidelines, insurance company criteria, hospital formularies, and other annoyances. None of those entities have any liability when it comes to our patients. For the most part, liability lies with the treating physician.

Pfizer, AstraZeneca COVID vaccines less effective at fighting Omicron: study
Pfizer and AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccines are not as effective in fighting off the Omicron variant compared to other strains, according to a new study published Monday.
Researchers from the University of Oxford said in the pre-print paper that they had discovered a “substantial fall” in neutralizing antibodies when the Omicron variant was introduced to blood samples 28 days after participants received their second dose of either Pfizer or AstraZeneca’s vaccine.
Ontario reports 1536 new Covid cases … and only 12 more days till the Christmas Omicron panic

Ontario needs new pandemic response strategy as omicron makes inroads: experts
With the omicron variant poised to become Ontario’s dominant COVID-19 strain, experts want the province to explain how it plans to shift its pandemic response if many people are infected much more quickly than in previous waves.
“We obviously have dealt with this for two years, but this is very different,” said Dr. Zain Chagla, an infectious diseases specialist at McMaster University.
“We’re going to see something I don’t think we’ve seen before.”
I am seriously concerned about getting a booster. I had no side effects from the Moderna/Pfizer combo. Is it worth the risk?
Canada drops COVID-19 travel rule that rejected South African tests
After weeks of criticism from scientists and global health experts, Canada has dropped a travel rule that had rejected COVID-19 tests from South Africa and had required Canadian travellers to get tests from third countries.
Japanese Experts Issue Warning, Say Young People Are 7x More Likely To Die From COVID Vaccines Than Virus Itself
Even if children and adolescents and people in their 20s are infected, it is naturally mild or asymptomatic,’ Japanese drug bulletin Med Check said. ‘It is ridiculous to consider vaccination for school children.’
Fauci on Film – White coat supremacy in cinéma vérité.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Joe Biden’s chief medical advisor, claims that his critics are “really criticizing science because I represent science.” That was also the theme of Fauci, a hagiographical documentary released back on October 6.
According to Disney+ promotional materials, Fauci is “the ultimate public servant” facing attacks from adversaries, with “science increasingly caught in the crosshairs.” Fortunately, a more cinéma vérité portrayal has been around for some time.

305 Athlete Cardiac Arrests, Serious Issues, 176 Dead, After COVID Shot
It is definitely not normal for young athletes to suffer from cardiac arrests or to die while playing their sport, but this year it is happening. All of these heart issues and deaths come shortly after they got a COVID shot. While it is possible this can happen to people who did not get a COVID shot, the sheer numbers clearly point to the only obvious cause.
Here’s Why Most of the Jabbed Will Die Early
We all know that the short term risks for those accepting the covid-19 jabs are horrific – worse than the risks associated with any traditional vaccine or drug that’s ever been made, and there have been some horror stories in the past associated with pharmaceutical products.
Drug companies are the most ruthless of all corporate entities – they make arms companies look positively benevolent. And, as I have pointed out before, they make those involved in the illegal drug trade look comparatively decent.
Liberal quarantine program was an utter failure
On Thursday, federal Auditor General Karen Hogan released an analysis of the Trudeau government’s COVID hotel quarantine programs. “This was not a success story,” Hogan wrote.
The auditor general was being kind. The Liberals’ quarantine program was an utter failure.
Omicron exceeds other variants in ability to evade protection from previous infection, vaccines: study
The new Omicron variant may have a greater ability than other strains of the virus to escape immune protection from antibodies produced by previous COVID-19 infection, and potentially vaccines.
That’s according to a new, peer-reviewed study published on Saturday in the journal Emerging Microbes & Infection.
The Omicron variant has caused global panic prompting many countries, including Canada, to impose more stringent travel rules.
The end of Canadian liberty
Its government slaps on quarantines and snatches rights while its people nod along
This week, my home country of Canada implemented a slew of new travel restrictions in response to Omicron, the newest ideation of what will surely be endless Covid variants.
Based on the reports, this variant is mild and nothing to panic about. But hey, why not panic, just to be safe? And by “safe,” I mean “sufficiently naive and fearful so as to ensure we continue to comply with ever-irrational regulations and restrictions, dutifully marching along dressed in useless and humiliating masks that restrict both breathing and communication, and maintaining religious devotion to vaccines that only work in that they reduce symptoms.”
FUREY: New poll shows majority of Canadians are ready to live with COVID-19
For much of the pandemic, opinion polling indicated that Canadians had been largely supportive of government COVID-19 measures. Lockdowns typically received the approval of two thirds of respondents.
But there are now signs that those numbers have been flipped around. It now appears to be the case that while a third of people remain COVID skittish, two thirds of people are done with being afraid and are done with restrictions on their lives. Governments be warned.

Wisconsin wedding attended by fully vaxxed medical experts turns into Omicron super-spreader
A Wisconsin wedding was found to be the source of a COVID Omicron ‘super-spread’ now taking Oakland by storm, leaving 38 hospital workers and patients exposed as the variant has now been spotted in half of U.S. states.
Debra Furr-Holden, 47, the associate Dean of Public Health Integration at Michigan State University, said she attended the Milwaukee wedding on November 27 after she was assured nearly all 100 guests, many of whom were medical experts, were vaccinated.
So what is the point of the Covid pass?

COVID Psychological War Continues as U.K. Professor says Vax Refusers Need Reeducation
“Overall, I’d say that we’ve had a pandemic of fear. And fear has affected almost everybody, whereas the infection has affected relatively few …. The fear was manufactured for everybody. And that’s what’s characterized the whole pandemic is that degree of fear and people’s response to the fear,” said Dr. Harvey Risch, a Yale epidemiologist.
