The ideology of lockdown lingers on

We’re still being pressured to suspend our freedom for ‘the greater good’.

Wait, we’re still being asked to save the NHS? To limit our lives so that we don’t get injured or sick and put pressure on this sacred institution? Nearly two years after the first lockdown, when we were put under house arrest to protect the NHS from being overloaded with Covid patients, we’re once again being told to restrict our daily activities so that we don’t do something dumb that might require the attention of a doctor. The logic of lockdown survives. The idea that our freedom must sometimes be suspended for the good of institutions staggers on. Post-lockdown? You wish.

China Blames Infections ‘Imported’ from America for Coronavirus Disaster

The Chinese Communist Party’s effort to blame its titanic coronavirus disaster on its own people, because they foolishly challenged the wisdom of dictator Xi Jinping’s endless lockdowns, apparently is not going well.

On Monday, the state-run Global Times took a stab at blaming “imported cases” for the tidal wave of Chinese coronavirus sickness and death sweeping across China.

Under the spotlight: Excess deaths and the Covid vaccine

FORMER Wall Street executive Edward Dowd, whom I interviewed for TCW  last year,  has been dissecting excess mortality statistics recorded since the Covid pandemic began three years ago. He has analysed and reanalysed the numbers and has concluded that excess death rates, in those aged 26-41, are closely related to the administration of Covid vaccinations.

‘From February 2021 to March 2022, millennials experienced the equivalent of a Vietnam war, with more than 60,000 excess deaths,’ he said. ‘The Vietnam war took 12 years to kill the same number of healthy young people we’ve just seen die in 12 months.’

Half think COVID vaccine is deadly

Nearly a third of the nation believes the COVID-19 vaccine has killed somebody they know, highlighting the safety concerns the public still has about the shot.

As the first family renewed their call for the country to get vaccinated, 28% of likely voters told Rasmussen Reports that they “personally know” somebody they think died from the side effects of the shot.

Elon Musk teases release of bombshell Fauci Files in this week’s Twitter document dump

Elon Musk has teased the release of bombshell Twitter files related to the now ex-director of the Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr Anthony Fauci, this week, as part of what he calls the ‘Fauci Files.

On Sunday, the Twitter CEO tweeted to his followers: ‘Hope you’re having a great day 1 2023! One thing’s for sure, it won’t be boring.’

Then, Juanita Broaddrick, an 80-year-old former nursing home administrator who once alleged that she was raped by ex-U.S. President Bill Clinton in 1978, replied to Musk’s tweet, saying that she’s waiting…for #FauciFiles.’

Could the COVID Jab Make You Sicker Next Time You Run Into the Virus? New Research Says Maybe.

Recently even The Washington Post had to admit analysis of CDC data showed the majority of patients dying with or of COVID now are vaccinated. Once the paper announced this fact, it provided a reason and some advice: Vaccine efficacy wanes over time; therefore, get your boosters. Unfortunately, new studies offer evidence that additional boosters may not be the solution.

Boosted Worse Off Than Vaccinated in Many States, Data Show

People in the United States who have received COVID-19 boosters in many states are more likely than those who have gotten just a primary series to get infected, receive hospital care, and die, according to an Epoch Times investigation.

Cases, hospitalizations, and deaths among the boosted have been increasing since the booster shots were first introduced in 2021. The boosters were promoted as bolstering protection against adverse outcomes. But, compared to the vaccinated who have not received any boosters, boosted people are testing positive, being hospitalized, and dying at higher levels in many states, according to the review, which went over data in the first two quarters of 2022.

Privacy Office Unaware of Public Health’s Social Media Data Grab to Target Vaccine Hesitant

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) said on Dec. 29 it was unaware of a Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) program to collect vast swaths of online data from Canadians to understand vaccine hesitancy and then target the individuals with tailored messaging to try changing their minds.

“I am not aware of any interactions between our Office and PHAC on this specific initiative,” said OPC spokesperson Tobi Cohen in a statement.

COVID-19 travel restrictions for China arrivals ‘not effective,’ ‘little bit absurd’: infectious disease experts

Testing requirements implemented on travellers arriving from China due to the country’s surge in COVID-19 cases are “ineffective” and “a little bit absurd,” according to two infectious disease experts.

Following the easing of COVID-19 polices in China, which was quickly followed by a spike in cases, the U.S., Japan, India, South Korea, Taiwan and Italy announced testing requirements for all travellers entering from China in the past week.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said it was monitoring the situation on Thursday.

German Retirement Insurance Expects Surprising Surplus in 2022

The surplus is in large part explained by the high excess mortality, which officials chalk up to COVID. But statisticians say the numbers don’t add up.

Germany’s statutory retirement insurance expects a surplus of €2.1 billion at the end of 2022, its president, Gundula Roßbach, told the German news agency DPA. “A year ago, a deficit of €6.5 billion had been predicted,” Roßbach said. The surplus can be explained by a surprisingly stable job market in Germany alongside a surprisingly high excess-mortality rate.

Despite multiple crises, the labor market in Germany is sturdy, according to Roßbach. This led to a good revenue situation for retirement insurance.

Job Loss From Feds’ Vaccine Mandate Being Fought in Polish Court

The federal government suspended its vaccine requirement to work in the public service in June 2022 but is nonetheless facing legal action over the measure at home and also abroad, with a former employee of the Canadian embassy in Poland seeking compensation over how she was treated.

“The vaccine mandate was truly unfortunate for Canadians but of no relevance whatsoever for Polish staff of the Embassy,” Karolina Janiak told The Epoch Times in an interview.

How Bad Is China’s Covid Outbreak? It’s a Scientific Guessing Game.

In the absence of credible information from the Chinese government, researchers around the world are looking for any clues to determine the size and severity of the surge.

As Covid barrels through China, scientists around the world are searching for clues about an outbreak with sprawling consequences — for the health of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, the global economy and the future of the pandemic.

But in the absence of credible information from the Chinese government, it is a big scientific guessing game to determine the size and severity of the surge in the world’s most populous country.

How an Occupied Twitter Ruined Countless Lives

From the beginning of the COVID panic, it felt that something was very wrong. Never had a pandemic, much less a seasonal pathogenic wave, been treated as a quasi-military emergency requiring the upending of all freedoms and rights.

What made it more bizarre was how alone those of us who objected felt until very recently when Elon Musk finally bought the platform Twitter, fired all the embedded federal agents, and has started to release the files.
