The Biden administration’s top medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci has declared the United States is now ‘out of the pandemic phase’ of Covid-19, as cases and hospitalizations associated with the disease remain low.
Fauci, who has been one of the most vocal proponents of draconian Covid measures such as mask and vaccine mandates throughout the pandemic, made the statement during a PBS broadcast yesterday.
‘We are certainly right now in this country out of the pandemic phase,’ he announced on air.
Teachers and experts in child development fear that the pandemic’s disruptions on “regular” school life may impact the social, emotional and language development of children.
Everyone agrees: COVID misinformation is a serious problem. But all the methods the authorities have used to try to address the problem attempt to censor our speech. That won’t work. It will never work. It is not how America wants these disputes resolved.
Instead, if the authorities really want to stop the so-called “misinformation spreaders,” all they have to do is create a document or video that answers the questions we have. If we find the answers compelling, we’ll happily stop spreading “misinformation” and promote the document/video to all our followers.
To make this even easier, I have provided a list of 40 questions in this document. If they can answer even one of these questions, we’ll be astounded.
As a growing number of experts now say we’re all going to get COVID-19 eventually — and that an estimated 40% to 50% of us may have already had it — what are the lessons we need to learn?
Chinese internet authorities are trying to block a popular video highlighting the impact of Shanghai’s five-week lockdown on its residents.
The Washington Post editorial board has a detailed story about a laboratory in Guangzhou, China which was one of the first in the country to genetically sequence COVID-19. The lab had been sent a sample from a hospitalized patient in Wuhan who had some kind of lung infection. A researcher at the lab saw the sequencing results and recognized it as a variant of SARS on December 26, 2019.
Canada’s COVID-19 immunity landscape has completely transformed since the emergence of Omicron — with new estimates suggesting that almost half of the population has been infected.
Researchers in B.C. analyzed thousands of blood samples in the Lower Mainland throughout the pandemic to track antibody levels in the general population, and found a massive shift in the level of infection in the past few months.
The B.C. data, provided in advance to CBC News, found close to 40 per cent of the population had antibodies from a previous infection in March, up from around 10 per cent in October. That number is even higher in children under 10, with nearly two-thirds now showing evidence of prior infection.
Majority of Canadians back inquiries into national, provincial pandemic responses: poll
A majority of Canadians favour a thorough review into how all levels of government handled the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new poll.
The survey from B.C.-based pollster Research Co. found 66 per cent of respondents backed a public inquiry into how the federal government managed the pandemic, with 23 per cent opposed.
Can the Gray Lady’s COVID Pope restore some common sense at the White House and the CDC? While Joe Biden and the Department of Justice plot to appeal the ruling striking down the transit mask mandate, David Leonhardt reminds us that it never did work well in practice — and likely not even in theory.
Just two pieces of data are needed: the risk-benefit calculation by age where VAERS was used for the death data, and show us the autopsy results where the proper tests were made to rule out causality.
Trina Huss of Saskatchewan believed she would die without receiving the COVID vaccine.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday revealed the actual reason why the Biden administration is appealing a federal court ruling that struck down its national mask mandate for public transportation.
In an astounding display of tortured reasoning, Psaki gave a convoluted response on the way to ultimately divulging what it is all about.
The Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) has the right to make a partnering U.S. lab wipe all data arising from their collaborative work, a legal document reveals.
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) of cooperation, signed between the Wuhan lab and the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch, makes it obligatory for each of the two labs to delete “secret files” or materials upon the request of the other party.
This week, a federal judge in the United States struck down a national mask mandate on planes and mass transit. In response, seven of America’s largest airlines have repealed rules that customers and staff must wear face coverings.
In the United Kingdom, managing COVID-19 is now an exercise in personal responsibility. In the city of London, few outward signs remain of the global pandemic that disrupted the world for more than two years. No mask mandate is effect for most public spaces. At the end of April, testing for the general public will come to an end.
“To me, COVID is over, I’m happy to say,” said a mother of three.
“There’s a freedom that people were waiting for here and now that it’s here, everyone’s sort of forgotten about COVID.”
Back in Canada, PM Justin Trudeau and half-Saudi Transport Minister Omar Alghabra have reiterated that masks are still required on all flights that arrive in or depart from Canada.
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) is investigating a teacher who has been placed on home assignment after he sent a hostile email to students claiming that those without masks are “maybe even killing me” and that any unmasked students will need to sit outside in the hallway or face “detentions and other consequences.”
