Contradictions Gone Viral

The controversy over the efficacy and safety of the COVID vaccines and boosters, and the validity of vaccine passports, seems only to have grown more pronounced and, indeed, more vehement with every passing week. The apologists for the vaccines—political leaders, medical “experts” (usually government-affiliated), the media and the punditocracy—have deposed that everyone must be vaccinated, unleashing an army of “fact-checkers” to torpedo any dissident argument and call the credentials and bona fides of highly accredited objectors into question, that is, when they are not being summarily censored.

NSW to trial geolocation and facial recognition app for home-based quarantine

The pilot will be jointly operated by NSW Health and NSW Police and entails a seven-day home-based quarantine program for around 175 people. It will be run across a four-week period and commence sometime this month.

The app will use geolocation and face recognition technology to monitor whether a person is complying with the state’s quarantine rules. It will also provide people with a testing schedule and symptom checker.

The government added that the mobile app would be supplied by random in-person checks and penalties would be doled out to individuals who breach their isolation during home-based quarantine.

The Wuhan coverup is more typical than you think

Much of what’s considered ‘science’ in research periodicals is nothing of the sort

The biggest shock amid the COVID-19 pandemic has been the discovery that the virus may have been released during an illegal collaboration on so-called ‘gain-of-function’ research between the US nonprofit EcoHealth Alliance and the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Recently revealed National Institutes of Health (NIH) documents show that American taxpayers directly subsidized this joint effort, despite a federal government ban on any experiment that might give pathogens the ability to leap species.

Even worse was that EcoHealth Alliance President Peter Daszak tried to shut down any debate on whether the coronavirus had been leaked from a lab by getting 27 prominent scientists to endorse a March 2020 letter to the medical journal Lancet. Yet one crucial detail was omitted from the correspondence: 26 of his 27 co-signatories also had connections to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology.

U.S. FDA advisers recommend COVID-19 boosters for older adults after rejecting broad approval

A panel of expert outside advisers to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration voted on Friday to recommend COVID-19 vaccine booster shots for Americans 65 and older and those at high risk of severe illness, after overwhelmingly rejecting a call for broader approval.

The panel also recommended that the FDA include healthcare workers and others at high risk of occupational exposure to the virus that causes COVID-19, such as teachers.

Heads Explode as a TikTok Influencer Pushes Back on the Term ‘Unvaxxed’ and Declares Herself, ‘PureBlood’

A TikTok Influencer named Lindsay Marie decided to create a video to protest the term “unvaxxed.” This term has been foisted upon those who either cannot get the COVID-19 vaccine or who simply refuse to do so. This could be because they feel they don’t need it, or because they have the natural immunity that comes with having contracted COVID-19 and recovered. One global COVID tracker has this number at over 200 million people, so sparking a conversation on how all these people want to be seen is not out of the box.

‘Partisan Payback’: Florida’s Leading Nation In Lifesaving Antibody Care. Biden Just Restricted Its Supply.

In a move that’s been criticized as an act of “partisan payback,” President Joe Biden is effectively cutting lifesaving antibody treatment from COVID-positive Floridians without any signs of a treatment shortage.

And the majority of Floridians who need the medication are fully vaccinated.

Yes, Covid Vaccines Seem to Be Working. But…

What we really need is a vaccine that targets part of the COVID virus that never mutates.

Many aspects of the COVID pandemic have been politicized, not least among them vaccines and specifically the issue of coercion. I know. Where I live some major municipalities including mine are requiring vaccine cards for everything from gyms to grocery stores; yet only 12% of the population qualifies, with those most likely to shop or use the gym least likely to be vaccinated. Idiocracy. But public policy should be based on science; not the other way around even as cognitive bias makes us perceive data to fit our worldview. So yes, it’s important to know if vaccination programs do seem to be impacting COVID breakouts regardless of whatever camp you’re in. And the answer, for now at least, appears to be yes.

Ontario reports nearly 800 new cases of COVID-19 as rolling average continues to slowly decline

Ontario is reporting nearly 800 new cases of COVID-19 today as its rolling seven-day average declines for the second Friday in a row.

The Ministry of Health says that there were 795 new instances of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus confirmed over the last 24 hours along with another five deaths.


At least 860 people have died of COVID-19 in Ontario hospital outbreaks. What we now know about the ‘unmitigated tragedy’

At least 860 people have died of COVID-19 in an Ontario hospital outbreak, according to a new public health report that reveals a far larger death toll than had been previously known.

The total, contained in a Public Health Ontario (PHO) epidemiological summary updated earlier this month, means Ontario hospitals have been the province’s second-deadliest setting for COVID-19 outbreaks in the pandemic, behind long-term-care homes and ahead of retirement homes — but with little of the public reckoning seen in those sectors.

“There’s no other way to depict this other than a completely unmitigated tragedy,” said Dr. Abdu Sharkawy, an infectious diseases consultant at the University Health Network and assistant professor of medicine at the University of Toronto. The death toll highlights the changes hospitals need to make to better control the spread of respiratory diseases now and in the future, he added.

3,000 Health Care Workers In France Have Been Suspended For Not Getting A COVID Shot

France’s health minister has said that thousands of health care workers across the country have been suspended without pay for failing to get a required COVID-19 vaccine.

It’s almost like they are intentionally trying to deconstruct the health care system. Same with the military.
