Critical Thread:
1.
Official slogan of Ontario's latest COVID fear campaign:

Now COVID patients are: Younger and Sicker™

@fordnation+lockdowners now using exact same phrase.

As if coordinated.

How odd.

More vague assertions-no data.

It started when OST+PH began pushing stricter lockdowns + even curfews. Now it's everywhere.

Toronto Star has a quote from Dr. Sameer Masood:

"little bit younger and seem a little bit sicker, despite being otherwise healthy"

Same Star article the reporter adds another Y and S ™ flourish with this:

"some doctors are reporting more patients who seem younger and sicker arriving to hospital"

"seem"

How young? How sick? How many?

#demandthedata

Meanwhile over in East End Toronto, CBC got Dr. Lisa Salamon on record with this:

"They're younger," Salamon said. "And they're sicker."

Is this a phrase they reach in medical school? Hmmm.

4. PHs new approach is to terrify young people -- a strategy totally not borne out by actual data and underpinned by politics. Look at the headline.

5. We reported last week, the Exeter study that terrifies them of the "variant" in question, did NOT adjust for comorbidities. Neither did the Nature study. It would be great if they would explain how that works.

Instead we get their mantra: Y & S™

6. Mass. and Florida had no deathly bumps from this variant. And traditionally when viruses mutate like COVID -19 did to B117 it becomes less lethal. Decades of virology are being tossed out the window to support a new fear campaign.

7. Brilliant Human Genome scientist Kevin McKernan is skeptical of the B117 narrative, its lethality and the testing they use to find it.
