Every monday, I will remind you of one simple fact.
C19 is the single largest, social policy disaster in Canadian history.
This unexplainable blunder was enabled by a public health community that is intellectually weak and administratively incompetent. 1/
Those in charge know this. Thus, intertwined with the C19 theatrics is a desperate attempt by:
1) academics to restore shattered reputations,
2) public health officials to show the destruction was worth it,
3) politicians trying to preserve the foundation of governance. 2/
The rest is theatre, albeit a dangerous one, exploited by opportunists and commercial interests.
Our experts are cornered and scared. Vaccines are their only way out which explains the bizarre, over the top obsession with a rather dull mitigation tool. 3/
Time is not on their side as they scramble to end this debacle. It could very well get ugly. But the truth is the truth and it can't be suppressed forever. End.

Time to call a spade a spade. There's no evidence linking lockdown and C19 hospitalization/deaths. Science has shown this repeatedly. Our politicians and science table however ignore evidence and engages in a process the British Medical Journal has labeled social murder. 1/
A month long lockdown will lead to the social murder of our youth and our vulnerable. We know this but those in power don't care. You see, they play a sick brand of politics and the dead are just pawns to be toyed with. 2/
If justice were served, every leader, every cabinet member, every science panel member would be required to attend the funerals of the dead and acknowledge that human potential had be crushed at the alter of anodyne theory. 3/
Martin Kuldorff has been a rational voice throughout the C19 response. Especially noteworthy has been his 12 forgotten principles of public health. They are worth reading and they remind you of how public health should work. 1/
One of the key principles is "Trust" and my question today is whether you trust public health. My answer is an emphatic "No" and it is unlikely to return for quite some time. Let's explore this in more detail. 2/
One can compile a laundry list of untrustworthy behavior but this video of Nick Hudson (Pandata19) at a recent biz conference sums it up nicely in a global context. My favorite paraphrase follows. 3/
C19 has revealed a remarkable inability of mainstream media to inform. A lack of data literacy lies at the heart of the problem. On occasion, one does find a serious journalistic effort, particularly one that lays bare the emptiness of Canada's C19 response......1/
Let's consider Chris Shelley's recent article in the NP. The writer makes two well crafted points through a simple presentation of data. Those points revolve around LTC facilities and Canada's inability to protect the vulnerable.....2/
He makes a serious point. Canada was a bottom dweller and if we achieved an LTC safety standard akin to Germany, there would have been no pandemic. C19 deaths would have averaged 7500 a year, roughly in line with the flu. We wouldn't have noticed....3/
This thread reminds us of public health's unbroken string of policy failure and their inflexibility to change. We are witnessing large scale technocratic failure across governments and nations. This is extremely dangerous. Where does this lead and what are the solutions. 1/
The time for pleasantries is over. Public health has been dangerously wrong from the beginning. They failed to understand the viral threat, failed to educate themselves, threw away historical knowledge and shattered society with quack science.....2/
Instead of acknowledging failure and enabling course correction, public health trapped society into an economic death spiral. This trap arose in two sequential steps. 3/
Science is transformative when its power is used wisely to guide public policy. Its not easy to harness but on occasion, you find someone with the essential leadership skills. Let us consider the case of Gov Desantis of Flordia. 1/
Gov DeSantis broke from orthodoxy in Sept 2020, rejecting lockdowns, masks and social distancing to implement a traditional but enlightened public health approach to C19. It was grounded on sound epidemiological principles, later expressed in the Great Barington Declaration. 2/
The policy was implemented to the consternation of the chattering class. Risk groups were identified, focused protection applied and a risk based vaccination process put into action. Schools and businesses were opened and the state flourished. 3/
The C19 response in Canada has been a tragic debacle that will impoverish this nation. At the heart of this disaster was wild exaggeration of viral threats which now scar society. It never had to happen and the science reveals that. Let's dig a bit deeper. 1/
This recent paper looking at seroprevalence peaked my interest again. It's a clever study that argues that 90% of Canadians have pre existing co-immunity to C19. Antibodies in adult sera recognize four surface proteins on c19 including Spike. 2/
The authors argue that co-immunity results from previous coronavirus infections. Note, these values starkly contrast the now forgotten seroprevalence work of Canadian Blood Services which argued for 1-2% seroprevalence. Why the difference? ....3 cp24.com/mobile/news/mo…
