Nearly 1,000% More COVID Cases in Public Service After Vaccine Mandate, Labour Board Hears

Federal public service employees put on leave without pay for refusing mandatory COVID-19 vaccination told a labour tribunal that infections in the workforce rose tenfold after the mandate was implemented, citing the government’s own data.

“Why did people become sick in such great numbers in the public service if they were immunized?” asked Bernard Desgagné, who represents two employees whose files are being adjudicated by the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board.

COVID-19 and lockdowns drove us to drink — particularly to drink at home alone

Lockdowns, closures, and fear of COVID-19 caused many harms, including a significant increase in alcohol consumption. Study after study shows that was the case during the pandemic.

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, part of the National Institutes of Health, earlier this year issued its “surveillance report” on per capita alcohol consumption.

Scientists who denounced Covid lab leak theory as a conspiracy secretly believed it was ‘highly likely’ the virus escaped Chinese research facility

A renowned scientist who led the condemnation of the Covid lab leak theory privately believed it was ‘high likely’, leaked messages show.

Dr Kristian Andersen, a Danish evolutionary biologist, co-authored a now-notorious research paper published in March 2020 that denounced the origin scenario as a conspiracy theory and xenophobic.

Yet Slack messages obtained by DailyMail.com show how just weeks before the publication of that paper, Dr Anderson told colleagues the idea of a lab leak was ‘not some fringe theory’ and was, in fact, ‘highly likely’ the genesis of the pandemic.

One-in-Five Canadians Hesitant to Receive Further COVID-19 Boosters: Survey

Around one-in-five Canadians are hesitant to get a future COVID-19 booster shot, with nearly 60 percent of those reluctant saying they had concerns with the vaccine’s safety, according to in-house research by the Department of Health.

Respondents who were reluctant to get a COVID-19 booster dose cited concerns about the safety or potential side effects as their main reason for hesitancy (59 percent), according to the pollsters’ report titled “COVID-19 Tracking Survey And Focus Groups On Canadians’ Views 2022-23” dated March 2023.

Within hours of the Covid jab I had brain damage

I AM 52 and I got brain tissue damage from my AstraZeneca vaccine on February 22, 2021, with a prognosis of seeing MS in my not-too-distant future by two consultants on the hospital ward. And this was after spending two weeks battling my GP surgery to be seen after developing serious symptoms within hours of having my dose.

No official diagnosis was given though I had and still have so many symptoms that align with Guillain–Barré syndrome, LMN, encephalitis and more which they have investigated and that I have since seen in my medical records but never told me they were going to look into.

Scientists at center of Covid lab leak ‘cover-up’ admit decision to downplay theory was ‘political’ because they feared a ‘s***show from China’

High-profile scientists caught up in the controversy over Covid’s origins have admitted the decision to play down the lab leak theory was political.

Internal Slack communications obtained by a House subcommittee investigating the early days of the pandemic showed how scientists who wrote a paper dismissing the idea of a lab accident feared retribution from the Chinese government.

Dr Andrew Rambaut, a biologist at the University of Edinburgh, was a co-author of the March 2020 Nature Medicine research article titled ‘The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2’ which degenerated believers of the lab leak theory as conspiracy theorists and racists.

Worst ruling elites of our lifetime

World-renowned epidemiologist, Professor Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford University, has made the point that the biggest source of disinformation during the two plus years of the Covid pandemic was government and its agencies. Around the democratic world, and certainly here in Australia, governments deliberately instilled fear that was in no proportion to the actual risk to anyone under 75…

Novavax to receive $350 million from Canada for unused COVID shots

July 7 (Reuters) – Novavax Inc (NVAX.O) said on Friday Canada will pay $349.6 million to settle the forfeiting of certain doses of its COVID-19 vaccine previously scheduled for delivery.

Anti-vaccine doctor’s fans flood court, claiming to be ‘common-law grand jury’ in his $66M lawsuit

Room 31 at the Vancouver law courts is normally a quiet, somewhat boring place, where lawyers present brief arguments on procedural questions and spectators are rarely present.

But Friday morning was different. As a clerk attempted to organize the long list of matters on the docket, about two dozen supporters of anti-vaccine activist Dr. Daniel Nagase flooded into the courtroom and declared themselves a “common-law grand jury under the Magna Carta.”

Sanctions Against Naval Officer Who Refused COVID Vaccine Were ‘Unjustified,’ Grievance Committee Finds

The warning and probation measures previously levied by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) against a military member for her refusal of the COVID-19 vaccine in 2021 were “unreasonable and unjustified,” an independent military administrative tribunal has ruled.

“The CAF vaccination policy was unreasonable because it was overly broad and disproportionate in its application,” wrote Nina Frid of the Military Grievances External Review Committee (MGERC) in a May 30 ruling.

White House accused of ‘massive’ attempt to censor Covid jab dissent

Joe Biden’s officials have been temporarily banned from meeting with social media company executives after a court decided there was evidence they sought to suppress free speech during the pandemic.

A judge backed claims that the US president’s administration, including the White House, had engaged in a “massive” attempt to stop Americans questioning the efficacy of vaccines online.

The injunction came after it was revealed last month that UK ministers set up a counter-disinformation unit, which was used to target lockdown critics and those questioning the mass vaccination of children.

Lee Fang: Did Pfizer sponsor vaccine mandates?

The pharmaceutical company Pfizer financed groups lobbying for Covid-19 vaccine mandates, the investigative reporter Lee Fang has claimed. Speaking to UnHerd’s Florence Read, Fang discussed a recent report he wrote in which he uncovered the Chicago Urban League’s acceptance of a special $100,000 donation from Pfizer that was not publicly disclosed. Fang suggested that such a lack of disclosure could have a particularly negative impact on African Americans, who have historically been victims of medical malpractice in the US.
