Seven Dead Doctors in 14 Days Don’t Lie

Does this seem normal to you?

Have you ever heard of seven doctors dead in a 14-day period (from July 13 through July 28)? How about five dead doctors in a few days, in one city (Toronto)? How about 14 dead doctors in the past nine months? And these dead doctors were mostly YOUNG.

Do these headlines catch your attention? Because they’re all true. Confirmed. Fact. It all just happened in Canada, a small country of 30 million (one-tenth the size of America).

The Mysteries of Long COVID

When the original strain of COVID-19 arrived in spring 2020, a pandemic soon swept the country.

By far most survived COVID. But hundreds of thousands did not. American deaths now number well over 1 million.

Amid the tragedy, there initially was some hope that the pernicious effects of the disease would all disappear upon recovery among the nearly 99% who survived the initial infection.

Western’s vaccine mandate will harm students and fail to protect the most vulnerable

University students, many of whom sacrificed two of the most formative years of their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic, are now making up for lost time. The return to school plan adopted by Western University in London, Ont., which includes mandated booster shots and mandatory masking, came from a good place, but does not fit the reality we live in. These measures are concerning because there is the potential for harms with only marginal benefits.

Little by little the truth of lockdown is being admitted: it was a disaster

Public fear was deliberately stoked to justify decisions made on the hoof and based on questionable advice

Lockdown was an extreme and unprecedented response to an ancient problem, the challenge of epidemic disease. It was also something else. It marked one of the gravest governmental failures of modern times. In a remarkably candid interview with The Spectator, Rishi Sunak has blown the gaff on the sheer superficiality of the decision-making process of which he was himself part. The fundamental rule of good government is not to make radical decisions without understanding the likely consequences. It seems obvious. Yet it is at that most basic level that the Johnson government failed. The tragedy is that this is only now being acknowledged.

It was America’s bio-spooks who locked down the West

IT is nearly two years since the world turned upside down and a sequence of unprecedented lockdowns and quarantines in the name of public health and safety were imposed across the West.

The narrative of the still unfolding story of Covid-19 is familiar to all of us, with China the chief bogeyman of the tale. But is that right?

In this drama has something really important been overlooked? Namely, the role of a powerful, self-appointed supranational organisation, set up 2017, called the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations…

Interesting, this is a 4 part series of Covid coverage by Paula Jardine of CW.

The students will win.

Unreasonable for Toronto to dismiss firefighters over vaccine status, arbitrator says

In a decision that could set a precedent for other disputes over workplace vaccine mandates, a labour arbitrator has handed a victory to more than a dozen firefighters who were fired by the city of Toronto early this year after failing to get the COVID-19 vaccine or disclose their vaccination status.

The arbitrator ruled that Toronto’s mandatory vaccination policy for firefighters was and still is reasonable and said it is supported by expert evidence that demonstrated the safety and efficacy of vaccines the city required its employees to accept.

Sabrina Maddeaux: Western University’s nonsensical vaccine booster mandate

Vaccine mandates have, rightly, all but disappeared across Canada — but some universities seem intent on bringing them back.

This week, Western University announced (of course, after students had already paid tuition) that it’ll mandate masking and at least one vaccine booster dose in classrooms this fall. A few weeks ago, the University of Toronto ruled students must have at least one booster dose to live in its residences.

Moderna sues Pfizer over patents behind COVID-19 vaccine

COVID-19 vaccine maker Moderna is suing Pfizer and the German drugmaker BioNTech, accusing its main competitors of copying Moderna’s technology in order to make their own vaccine.

Moderna said Friday that Pfizer and BioNTech’s vaccine Comirnaty infringes on patents Moderna filed several years ago protecting the technology behind its preventive shot, Spikevax. The company filed patent infringement lawsuits in both U.S. federal court and a German court.

A Pfizer spokeswoman declined to comment, saying the company had not been served with a copy of the litigation.
