It was certainly the weirdest year. It began with a supremely weird decision by the entire world, except China and Sweden, to tank the global economy.

U.S. lawmakers push Biden to lift Canadian travel restrictions
WASHINGTON — Four U.S. senators on Friday asked U.S. President Joe Biden to lift restrictions that have barred travel by Canadians across the northern U.S. border since March 2020.
Democratic Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Jon Tester of Montana and independent Angus King of Maine asked Biden to allow Canadians vaccinated against COVID-19 to travel to the United States before October. The border state senators said in a letter the restrictions have led to “economic and emotional strain in our communities.”

The COVID-19 vaccine developed by Chinese company CanSino, with whom Ottawa partnered before the deal fell through, used technology developed in a 2016 paper on Ebola by a now-fired scientist from a government laboratory in Winnipeg and a Chinese major general, an expert says.
The government’s partnership on the clinical development of the CanSino vaccine, first announced on May 12, 2020, fell apart on Aug. 26, 2020, after Beijing blocked shipment of the vaccine to Canada.
Canada’s China Class is working hard to suppress the truth of their treason.

Sarah Palin has not received the COVID-19 vaccine because she’s already had the virus and recovered from it, “creating an immunity,” she said.
“I am one of those white, common-sense conservatives, I believe in science, and I have not taken the shot,” the former Alaska governor said Thursday on Greg Gutfeld’s talk show on Fox News.

According to a video report hosted by Erin O’Toole, Chinese scientist Xiangguo Qiu sent 30 vials of 15 strains of deadly virus samples to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. At the time, the scientist was working under contract at National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, Canada.

Dividing the people and justifying state-sponsored violence against dissenters.
“Have you noticed how strikingly similar both the mindsets and actions between the suicide bombers at Kabul’s airport, and the anti-mask and anti-vax people here? They both blow themselves up, inflict harm on those around them, and are convinced they are fighting for freedom.”

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.

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.

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.
There are 821 new cases of #COVID19. 621 cases are in individuals who are not fully vaccinated or have an unknown vaccination status and 200 are in fully vaccinated individuals.
Today’s numbers will be available at 10:30 a.m. at https://t.co/ypmgZbVRvn.

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.

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.

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.

Cuba on Monday became the first country in the world to vaccinate children from the age of two against COVID-19, using home-grown shots not recognized by the World Health Organization.
