An Ottawa gym owner says that while his business is taking other COVID-19 precautions, he and his staff will not ask clients to prove they have been fully vaccinated once the province’s vaccination certificate system takes effect later this month.

Rutgers bars unvaccinated student from attending virtual classes
A New Jersey student has said he is barred from taking classes at Rutgers University because he has not been vaccinated — even though he is only studying virtually from home.
POLL: Almost Three-Quarters Of Unvaccinated Americans Would Quit Job If It Required The Vaccine
A new poll from The Washington Post and ABC News found that nearly three-quarters of unvaccinated Americans would prefer to quit their job rather than be required to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
Corbella: The vaccine hesitant are typically 40-something women in Ontario who tend to vote Liberal
… According to Abacus Data, in a 30,000-person poll taken over months, the typical vaccine hesitant Canadian is a 42-year-old Ontario woman who votes Liberal.
As Abacus chair Bruce Anderson wrote in an Aug. 11 Maclean’s magazine article, “almost half of (the vaccine hesitant, 46 per cent) live in Ontario and well over half of them (59 per cent) are women. A quarter were born outside Canada. Their average age is 42 and the plurality are between 30 and 44 years old. If they were voting in a federal election today, 35 per cent would vote Liberal, 25 per cent Conservative, 17 per cent NDP, nine per cent Green — pretty similar to overall voting intentions for the entire population.”
The Bizarre Civil War-Stoking Impulses of the Professional-Managerial Class in the US
A couple of years ago, when Lambert would talk about professional pundits and official Democratic spokescritters behaving as if they were trying to stoke civil war in the US, I thought he’d been spending too much time on Twitter and might benefit from a dose of smelling salts. It now looks like he was correct, albeit so early it was still possible that the impulse could have fizzled out or moved in another direction.
One of the reasons it’s hard to talk about this obvious yet diffuse and multifaceted development of actively fomenting class hatred is that it doesn’t fall tidily along demographic lines, as much as some factions would like to have you believe otherwise. It’s psychographic.
Hatred of The Other was supposed to a hallmark of the uneducated, provincial, and intolerant. Yet we now see bloody, vicious fantasies about what should happen to Them for being wrong-thinking and wrong-acting being not just voiced freely, but even applauded.
Ontario reports 554 new Covid cases … and are Kung Flu passports even legal?
Ontario reports 554 new COVID-19 cases, 16 more deaths
For the second time in the last three days, Ontario is reporting a week-over-week decline in the number of new COVID-19 cases.
Provincial health officials logged 554 new COVID-19 cases today, a notable drop from the 656 infections reported last Wednesday and the 660 cases confirmed two weeks ago.
Legal questions around rights linger as some provinces bring in COVID-19 vaccine passports
Several provinces are entering uncharted waters around the legality of vaccine passports that require patrons of a wide variety of establishments to be fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 shot.
Manitoba and Quebec have brought in vaccine passports in recent weeks, while British Columbia and Ontario announced they would implement such policies beginning later this month. On Tuesday, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey announced the province would follow Quebec’s lead and introduce a vaccination passport that uses a QR code, while Yukon Premier Sandy Silver said the territory was launching an online vaccine credential system. Officials in New Brunswick and P.E.I. have said those provinces will likely also institute their own vaccine passport systems soon.
Governments are permitted under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to limit basic freedoms if they can show why such a limit is reasonable. But there is scant Canadian case law on what is reasonable in a health emergency.
Pfizer Rolls Out New “Daily Pill” to fight COVID, Similar to Ivermectin
What this screenshot demonstrates is that Pfizer’s new twice-daily pill for Covid utilizes an unknown protease inhibitor, while including a snip from this study showing that Ivermectin also acts as a protease inhibitor.
Just another data point in favor of Ivermectin.
Canadian Tireanny
A friend of mine went into Cdn Tire without a mask. She has an exemption. Staff pinned her in an isle and wouldn’t let her leave before the cops came.

Australians erupt after PM takes advantage of COVID double standards to see family while millions remain in lockdown: ‘What a disgrace of a leader’
Morrison traveled to New South Wales over the weekend in a private jet to visit family on Australian Father’s Day even as millions in the country remained in lockdown and were unable to visit out-of-state family members, the New York Times reported.
The prime minister spent time in Sydney before returning to Canberra to partake in a national security meeting, an action which critics immediately labeled as an example of double standards.
Yet instead of owning up to the blunder, Morrison defended the move in an interview published Tuesday, telling Sky News that while he understood people’s frustration, his trip did not violate any lockdown rules.
Meanwhile, in Australia. Quarantine camps. They are so far down the rabbit hole now. pic.twitter.com/nrZnIc9cV6

Is COVID a Pandemic of the Unvaccinated? Not Quite.
Physicians spreading medical misinformation, particularly about COVID, “are risking disciplinary action by state medical boards” due to their “high degree of public trust” and their “powerful platform in society.” One could say this applies more so to the president of the United States, the CDC director, and to major newspapers and media organizations, all of whom have a far larger platform than any single doctor.
For example, will Rolling Stone face disciplinary action over their recent false story about Oklahoma hospitals and ivermectin?
Seattle could lose 200 cops over city’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate: report
Some 200 Seattle police officers may lose their jobs due to their resistance to getting vaccinated against COVID-19 or handing over personal medical data, according to a report.
That represents about 20 percent of the department’s deployable staff and the ailing agency has already lost 300 cops following last year’s push to defund law enforcement organizations, KTTH conservative talk radio host Jason Rantz reported Monday.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced a sweeping order in August requiring most state employees to get vaccinated by Oct. 18 or face termination.

Patients frustrated, concerned as some Ontario doctors slow to return to in-person appointments
Michelle Sadowski says she’s fed up talking to her one-year-old son’s pediatrician over the phone about his persistent cough and cold symptoms.
Because of COVID-19 restrictions at the clinic, they’ve not been allowed to see his doctor in-person for months, said Sadowski, a fully vaccinated Toronto resident who works from home. She’s been told it’s too risky, even if she and her son Avery get cleared with a negative COVID-19 test result.
After half a dozen phone-call appointments, she ended up taking him to St. Joseph’s Health Centre’s kids clinic at the end of July. After a two-hour wait there, doctors did a full examination and determined he had a double ear infection.
