Many countries have abandoned vaccine passports and travel testing for COVID-19. Yet Canada remains one of the world’s slowest to grudgingly relax restrictions.
Generally speaking, governments make policy based on, among other things, credible sources of scientific information. Does the Trudeau government really ‘follow the science’? As medical doctors, we’d like to critically examine some recent statements.
Earlier this week, New Yorkers gathered in downtown Manhattan in front of the city’s Health Department to protest against the CDC’s recommendation of COVID-19 vaccines for toddlers and babies as well as the possible mandating of the jab for New York’s schoolchildren.
New Yorkers shared their concerns about the government chipping away at parental rights and described the need to protect children from the pharmaceutical industry’s capture of public health agencies.
The agency featured a pre-print study ranking causes of death in children when it presented data to its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) earlier this month, after which the committee voted to recommend kids aged six months through four years get vaccinated for COVID-19. The study claimed to show that COVID-19 was a leading cause of death for children in the United States during the coronavirus pandemic, but observers quickly pointed out major flaws in the data which rendered it misleading.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defended his use of the Emergencies Act on Freedom Convoy protestors and restrictions on the unvaccinated, saying unvaccinated Canadians accepted the consequences of not taking the vaccine.
An airline which ejected at least 25 passengers from a Heathrow-bound plane without telling them why has admitted that some were ‘mistakenly removed’.
Air Canada has confirmed that some passengers had done nothing wrong before its staff accompanied by armed police ordered them off the plane.
Officials have been contacting the innocent passengers to apologise for the blunder and are believed to be discussing possible compensation with them.
Crazy.
The federal government announced on Tuesday June 14 that COVID-related travel restrictions in place since Oct. 30, 2021 will be ending. Specifically, the government is ending the requirement to show proof of vaccination for domestic travel on planes and trains, for outbound international travel, and ending the vaccine mandate for transport workers and federal government employees.
People aged under 40 are being urged to have their hearts checked because they may potentially be at risk of Sudden Adult Death Syndrome.
The syndrome, known as SADS, has been fatal for all kinds of people regardless of whether they maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle.
SADS is an ‘umbrella term to describe unexpected deaths in young people’, said The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners, most commonly occurring in people under 40 years of age.
Cardiac Amyloidosis or Stiff Heart Syndrome is caused by deposits of abnormal proteins in the heart tissue. This results in the heart ceasing to function properly due to the replacement of normal heart muscle tissue with amyloids. Cardiac Amyloidosis is associated with thick heart walls and large atria. It can affect electrical conductivity resulting in arrhythmias and heart block.
Western experts are blinded by vested interests
Covid cases are rising again. In the UK, they have broken through the 200,000 infections-a-day threshold for the first time since April. In America, the sixth wave is well under way. In countries that kept the disease at bay for years, such as Taiwan and New Zealand, numbers are shooting up, driven by milder but highly infectious versions of the Omicron variant. The virus has not gone away, even if its death toll is much lower. But what has disappeared is any real or urgent interest from the media and the scientific establishment in finding out how it started.
While appeared virtually at the World Economic Forum, Biden’s top Covid adviser was asked if the SARS-CoV-2 virus would become endemic in 2022. Fauci said it’s too early to tell and the world appears to be in phase one of a five-phase pandemic, The New York Times reported.
Here’s the latest video from the CDC that, for the very first time, acknowledges that you might not want to vaccinate your kids.
Superb investigative journalism as ever from @sonia_elijah.
Half the mRNA was truncated such that no-one knows what proteins are being coded for.
Regulators expressed concerns and passed it anyway.
EMA changed goal posts to say injecting 50% unknown impurities is just fine. https://t.co/7JUflWHdmv

At least a dozen former Metrolinx employees, including long-time staff and senior managers, are suing their ex-employer for a combined $2.09 million after being suspended without pay for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
In separate lawsuits filed last December, the former employees say they were treated with “callous disregard” when Metrolinx placed them on indefinite leaves of absence last November because they chose not to get two doses of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine by the Nov. 1 deadline Metrolinx prescribed.
Would a single win open the floodgates?

A Canadian professor has been branded a petty tattle-tale on social media after taking to Twitter to shame a flight attendant for not wearing amask.
Amir Attaran, a professor of law and epidemiology at the University of Ottawa, complained that his United flight attendant was breaking the law which requires masking on flights out of Canada on a recent trip to Chicago.
‘Hey United, why are you breaking the law? Masks are required on all flights out of Canada. Your flight attendant isn’t wearing one! This is UA3737 in Ottawa right now,’ he tweeted.
A panel of advisers to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Saturday voted to recommend COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as six months, making it likely a nationwide rollout can start next week.
The 12-0 vote in favour of the move needs to be signed off by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky for the U.S. government to start rolling out the vaccines for children aged five and under.
