Be afraid. Be very afraid.
That is how the media approached Covid. Be afraid of everything, from ice cream to semen. Be afraid of being tall. Be afraid of being bald. Be afraid of going to the shops and accepting home deliveries. And if you’re a man, it’s not just semen you should worry about, but also your testicles, your erectile function and your fertility. Even your toes are in danger.
After months of being dismissed as a fringe conspiracy theory, official support is starting to build for the notion that the COVID-19 pandemic is not a freak accident of nature, but was rather the result of an accidental escape from a Chinese virology lab.
Clearly the social-media giant is uneasy with its role in the public square
Good news everybody — you can finally post what you always thought about how the pandemic started on Facebook without being muzzled.
The Silicon Valley giant, which has around 2.85 billion users, had been banning posts that claimed COVID-19 was man-made. But now, according to a company spokesperson, ‘In light of ongoing investigations into the origin of COVID-19 and in consultation with public health experts, we will no longer remove the claim that COVID-19 is man-made from our apps.’
No surprise. Zuck is in the rope business.
The recent revelation is shocking to say the least considering Fauci clearly understood how many people could die from a pandemic yet he still argued for risky experiments.

We are living in a time where demonstrating an ability to go against the grain without apology and standing up to China are imperative traits for a world leader to possess.
Unfortunately, the Biden administration continues to demonstrate that they are sorely lacking in that department. And to make matters worse, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has also been perfecting his own ability to bend the knee when the opportunity presents itself to show fealty to China.
That’s, um, news. A suspicious once-in-a-century pandemic erupts next to a Level 4 virology lab in China, and over a year later we haven’t gotten around to looking at all the data? The New York Times gives us today’s confidence-builder…
Joe’s gotta get his 10%.
Numerous media outlets have published stories within the last week confirming the legitimacy of the COVID-19 lab leak theory after denigrating the hypothesis as a baseless conspiracy for the first year of the pandemic.
The theory that COVID-19 may have leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology has steadily gained momentum in the media and the scientific community since early January when New York magazine published a lengthy expose detailing the legitimacy of the theory.
Ontario is reporting 1,273 cases of #COVID19 and nearly 40,900 tests completed. Locally, there are 269 new cases in Toronto, 268 in Peel, 101 in Ottawa, 78 in Hamilton and 72 in Durham.
As of 8:00 p.m. yesterday, 8,690,473 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered.

Ont. unveils COVID-19 second dose strategy, all eligible residents will have second dose by end of summer
All eligible Ontario residents are expected to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the end of this summer, with second dose appointments opening up to those 80 years and older starting on Monday.
On Friday morning, provincial health officials released an update to its COVID-19 vaccine rollout plan and provided a first look at booking second doses, as Ontario has hit its target of administering first jabs to 65 per cent of all adults in the province this month.
Toronto COVID-19 vaccine pop-up calls out entitlement, inequity after 2nd-dose seekers crash clinic
“Yesterday it was full of high-end SUVs, Lexus, and Mercedes Benz … they were coming from Avenue Road and St. Clair, they were coming from Thornhill and they were texting each other and high-fiving each other, saying ‘Oh you made it.’”
Forget about it Jake, it’s Chinatown.
Researchers with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute have been tracking the “misery” unleashed by the pandemic – not just by COVID-19, but by governments’ responses to it. Health statistician and economist Prof. Richard Audas joined The Andrew Lawton Show to break down his findings.
As the “lab leak” theory regarding the origins of the Wuhan coronavirus gains credibility among scientists and in the press after being previously demonized, some aren’t ready to let go: The New York Times’ leading COVID-19 beat reporter, Apoorva Mandavilli, showed Wednesday morning that she’s unfit for her job with a tweet suggesting that even investigating the possibility the Wuhan coronavirus did not originate at a “wet market” but escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology was racist.
Until very recently, any suggestion of the possibility that a lab leak led to the COVID-19 pandemic would be struck down by many media outlets as a “conspiracy theory.”
After increased calls for more investigation into the origin of the virus, a game-changer came on May 26 when U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement saying the U.S. Intelligence Community is divided on whether the virus emerged from a natural source or a lab accident, and there is still no definitive conclusion.
As soon as COVID-19 appeared in Wuhan, China, it was a high possibility that the virus originated in one of the two high-security labs studying bat viruses in that city — the National Bio-Safety Laboratory and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology was of particular concern. U.S. State Department cables in 2018 warned of extreme sloppiness at the lab. Although the lab’s research on bat coronaviruses was partially funded by the U.S. National Institute of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (of which Anthony Fauci is the director), the warnings went unaddressed.
Facebook was today accused of ‘showing its true and ugly colours’ and smothering free speech to cosy up to China as it scrapped its ban on posts debating whether Covid-19 could be man-made – but only after Joe Biden ordered the CIA to probe if the virus came from a Wuhan lab.
Mark Zuckerberg’s global policy chief Nick Clegg, the former British MP and Liberal Democrat leader, has also been branded ‘feeble’ for allowing months of censorship on the social network.
Critics told MailOnline that Facebook’s behaviour had been ‘contemptible’ and hope they will now respect free speech rather than ‘ingratiating’ themselves with states such as China, which has banned the website but remains a $5billion-a-year ad market.
Makes you wonder why social media was so Trump deranged and where their loyalties lie.
Ontario reports 1,135 new COVID-19 cases and 19 more deaths; lowest positivity rate logged since March
Ontario reported more than 1,100 new COVID-19 cases and 19 additional deaths on Thursday, as the positivity rate marked a new low not seen since March.
Provincial health officials logged 1,135 new coronavirus cases, up from 1,095 on Wednesday but continuing a downward trend in new infections recorded in the past few weeks.
COVID: India’s ‘white fungus’ infections raise new health concerns
India’s Health Ministry is asking pharmaceutical companies to ramp up production and distribution of antifungal medications after a new type of fungal infection was found in recovering COVID-19 patients last week.
In Ghaziabad, a city in the northern Uttar Pradesh state, as many as seven recovering COVID-19 patients have been diagnosed with invasive aspergillosis, a severe form of white fungus infection.
Similar cases have been detected in cities in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Bihar.
Making itself at home…
Cases of B.1.617 coronavirus variant in Ontario grew nearly six-fold last week: officials
Ontario’s count of known examples of the B.1.617 coronavirus variant grew nearly six times in the span of a week in May, and officials say they are still a “few weeks” away from being able to disclose new findings publicly in real time.
From May 12 to May 19, Public Health Ontario (PHO) said the number of known positive cases of the B.1.617 coronavirus variant grew from 45 to 260. It is almost certainly even higher today.
“The bottom line is he cannot investigate himself,” he added. “He was responsible for giving this money, so he has every incentive to cover it up and not reveal the truth about it because if the pandemic did come from the lab he would have great culpability in this, so he can’t be investigating this, nor can any of his people that he picks be investigating this. He needs to be excluded from the investigation.”
