Interesting insights into the closed-minded thinking of Ontario Science Table (OST) members, via @dfisman.
From an anon source, here @dfisman is being asked whether we should be having a scientific discussion about lockdowns, masks, and the long-term plan.
In response even @dfisman admits that lockdowns are ineffective and have done significant damage to the economy, all without preventing people from needing the ICU.
Here @dfisman compares our current situation to the Spanish flu.
(Side note: no data suggesting that ICUs are/were under more pressure than in a normal year.)
(Side note, it ain't the Spanish flu bro!)
What gets one blocked by @dfisman? Critical thinking.
Why do we in Ontario allow such people influence over our lives when their arrogance won't allow them to even consider the possibility that they are wrong, and won't even engage in scientific dialogue?

[UPDATED] I suspect there's something artificial about Ontario's case numbers because they no longer match hospitalization and death trends, nor comparable trends in neighbouring Québec.
Ontario's "third wave" may have been engineered through PCR case counts.
Thread:
Charts demonstrating covid seasonality.
Neighbouring provinces of Ontario and Québec both peaked at virtually the same time. However, cases trending up again in Ontario - but not in Québec.
On the contrary, hospitalizations in both provinces are still trending downward in unison.
