Multiple scientists at major institutions around the world are sounding an alarm over what they say was an incomplete and unreliable investigation by the World Health Organization into the origins of the SARS-Cov-2 virus.
“China eats weird animals disease”
39% of federal employees received $819 million in paid leave last year
As the private sector faced lockdowns and unprecedented unemployment, thousands of public sector employees were paid to stay at home.
Liberal MP implies premiers who end lockdowns are being criminally negligent
“So my question is if PHAC’s models have been largely correct and the health experts are predicting this type of exponential case growth, if P/Ts choose to move forward with lifting public health measures despite the evidence, are they culpable for the resulting deaths?” asked Turnbull before quoting the criminal code.
Flamin’ hot hypocrite: Joe Biden refuses to condemn Cuomo’s nursing home deaths scandal
Joe Biden, who blamed President Trump entirely for all 300,000 (at the time) deaths in the U.S. from COVID during his campaign, has gone strangely silent about the revelations that New York’s Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered nursing homes in New York to accept COVID patients from hospitals and then covered up the 15,000 deaths that predictably came as a result of sticking the sickest people into the same living quarters as the most vulnerable. He’s more than silent, actually, his spokesweasel, Jen Psaki, has refused to condemn Cuomo
Chinese Regime Turned to Military for CCP Virus Cover-Up: Former Trump Adviser
The Chinese regime turned to its military, rather than its health authority, to cover-up and contain the CCP virus outbreak, according to a former White House deputy national security adviser.
This was one reason why the United States was unable to obtain any useful data from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the burgeoning stages of the pandemic, Matthew Pottinger, who served under the Trump administration, told CBS News’ “Face the Nation” in an interview that aired on Feb. 21.
Vax bias matters – Canada’s vaccinators are planning to prioritize ‘adults in racialized and marginalized communities’
Canada’s vaccination rollout has gone poorly, to say the least. The country currently ranks just 40th in vaccine doses per capita. It is being soundly whipped by Morocco, Turkey, and Serbia — nations which aren’t known for bragging insufferably about their single-payer healthcare systems. Even worse for Canadians, they trail the United States. For a country that views its identity through the prism of its southern neighbor, this must be a most demoralizing experience.
On Monday, Canada’s national advisory committee on immunization announced that ‘saving lives’ will be shoved violently down the list of priorities in its vaccination drive. Instead, the country is placing a focus on racial equity — ‘Black Lives Matter More’, if you will.
Unmasking the Medical Experts
Masks have become an unwelcome staple of American life with no end in sight. Mask recommendations change faster and more frequently than the weather. How did we get here?

No sympathy for snowbirds: Most Canadians support travel restrictions, Ipsos poll finds
As travel restrictions have clipped the wings of many snowbirds hoping to fly south to their Florida homes for the winter, the vast majority of Canadians support the new travel rules — and very few think exceptions should be made for those with second residences south of the border.
Justin Trudeau Failed Canada in COVID Vaccine Debacle. Here’s Why.
Canadians sometimes have an inferiority complex when it comes to their southern neighbor which they frequently express with hostility. Nowhere was this more apparent than on Twitter the last few years where you couldn’t swing a dead cat without finding a Canadian smugly lecturing Americans on Donald Trump’s behavior and ‘incompetence’ (according to them).
Why did 150,000 fewer Chinese people suddenly stop receiving state benefits just after Covid outbreak began?
Disturbing Chinese government statistics reveal a huge drop in the number of old people receiving state payments in Hubei – the province containing the city of Wuhan – in the immediate aftermath of the pandemic’s eruption.
The official data, which shows a fall of more than 150,000 people receiving the benefits in the first quarter of last year, will fuel fears the death toll from Covid-19 in China was far higher than the government has admitted.
According to the Chinese authorities, there have been only 4,636 Covid deaths in their nation of 1.4 billion – with all except 124 of the fatalities in the central province of Hubei. There is widespread scepticism over these figures.
Positive Coronavirus Test? Canadians Worry Their Neighbors Will Find Out
The fear of public shaming is becoming so prevalent in some Canadian provinces that doctors worry it is driving virus cases underground.
For a time, Cortland Cronk, 26, was Canada’s most famous — and infamous — coronavirus patient.
Mr. Cronk, a traveling salesman, went viral after testing positive in November and recounting his story of being infected while traveling for work to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
He was called a virus-spreader, a job-killer, a liar and a sleaze. Online memes painted him as the Grinch, since subsequent outbreaks led to restrictions against Christmas parties. Many people, including a newspaper columnist, made elaborate fun of his name.
Wuhan Lab Kept NIH Funding Despite Trump Crackdown
Chinese lab collected hundreds of thousands from U.S. taxpayers
Federal records show the U.S. government is partnering with the Wuhan Institute of Virology even though the Trump administration pledged to ban funding for the Chinese laboratory located at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak.
President Donald Trump promised that he would “end” public funding for the Wuhan Institute of Virology during an April 17 press conference. Despite his promise, the National Institutes of Health has left untouched a 2019 neuroscience research grant that disbursed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Chinese laboratory, according to a federal expenditure database. The NIH earmarked most of the $4.3 million grant to U.C. Irvine, which the California public university used to funnel $216,108 in taxpayer money to a Wuhan Institute of Virology researcher as a “sub-grant.”
Ontario reports 1087 new Kung Flu cases

Adamson Barbecue owner defends his ‘civil disobedience’
Adamson Barbecue’s owner held court at his restaurant’s Leaside location on Saturday to explain why he defied Ontario’s lockdown orders and allowed customers to attend his dining establishment without masks in November.
Adam Skelly made headlines at the time as he was ultimately arrested and later released on $50,000 bail.
Biden’s White House Is ‘Working Directly’ With Social Media To Censor Anti-Vaxxers
A senior administration official said that the White House has been reaching out to social media companies including Facebook and Twitter to root out COVID misinformation and get their help to stop it from going viral.
