1/Zero Covidian @VeraEtches in lockstep with the team lockdown fear campaign. This time it's younger patients & tired health care workers. It certainly isn't because Ottawa hospitals are overloaded (down from C19 peak of 62 in Apr 2020). Not unusually overloaded then or now. Image
2/I don't recall a time in Ottawa when there wasn't a periodic news story about overcrowded hospitals. If this is a staffing issue, @OttawaHealth has no one but themselves to blame for carrying on with test/trace/isolate for a low IFR endemic virus.
3/If it is a long hospital stay issue because of LTC problems, again, OPH has no one to blame but themselves. They had all last spring, summer, fall & winter to work on surge space/resources for problematic LTC residences. Instead, they wasted time and money on test/trace/isolate
4/As for the "younger people in the hospital" narrative, it doesn't reflect in OPH's current data, nor has Vera offered anything but anecdotes. Image
5/...and if Toronto offers any indication on how team lockdown is fudging the numbers to build the ON lockdown narrative, we can safely assume it's a similar story in Ottawa.
6/So what happens when you just throw caution to the wind and return to "old normal"? The Fisman death Tsunami is no doubt unleashed right? Image
7/What about those Floridian #Covidiots? Surely the bodies must need to be stored in refrigerator trucks by now right? Image
8/The home of the Sturgis superspreader event South-Dakota has never had any restrictions. Kristi Noam is practically Trump, right? Image
9/What about those reckless Swedes? Look! Cases are through the roof! Climbing since early February! Scariants! Image
10/Oh. Image
11/Tell your politicians like @fordnation @celliottability @JohnTory @JimWatsonOttawa and public health officials like @VeraEtches & @epdevilla to stuff it. #No3rdLockdown #TakeOffYourMask

1/OK. Let's see who truly "won" this debate between non-subject matter experts @billmaher & @SethMacFarlane🧵
Maher: Natural immunity was not considered.
MacFarlane: Natural immunity has been debunked.
Winner: Maher. Natural immunity does not prevent you from catching seasonal..
2/respiratory viruses, but prior infection does protect against severe illness, much as mRNA shots were supposed to do, however, natural immunity also provided better outcomes than mRNA shots.
3/Maher: Probably because the vaccine gave you Covid (weakened immune system after vaccination)
MacFarlane: That's anecdotal
Winner: Mayer. The Ontario data show that the more mRNA shots you get, the greater your risk of infection.
(No wonder they took down the data). Image

1/As Covid era memories start to fade, I would like to tell my workplace mRNA mandate story as a reminder of what was done to individuals by our gov't, media and 'experts', buoyed by a fearful/hateful populace who were ripe to fall victim to an industrial propaganda campaign.
2/I have had a spotless, multi-decade career at a gov't agency. I worked my way up from an entry level position to senior leadership without a university degree. I am well liked and well respected by my managers, peers and employees. I have done much heavy lifting over the years.
3/When I consider taking pharmaceuticals, I look at the risk/benefit carefully. With most non-politicized drugs, this is easy. Side effects are generally reported honestly. As with Google reviews, the trial results & vast user experiences reported online show clear patterns...

1/In the end there will be no accountability. Not for nudge units or journalists. Not for Jinping, Gates, Tedros, McKinsey or Zuckerberg. Not for Fauci, Bourla, Tam, Biden, Trudeau or Andrews. Not for Ferguson, Drosten, Fisman, Gonsalves or Ding. Not for Ford, Legault or Devilla
2/They diverted the eyes of the masses with collectivist slogans:
"2 weeks to slow the spread"
"Healthcare heroes"
"Together...apart"
"Do your part. Stay 6 feet apart"
"Your mask protects me & mine protects you"
"Safe & effective. Do your part to protect the community"
3/All along, they blamed everyone's favorite selfish, anti-social villains:
- Racists/misogynists
- Alphabet-phobes
- Anti-lockdowners, anti-maskers, anti-vaxxers
- White conservatives & the conservative-adjacent (critical thinking Liberals, LGBTQ2+, BIPOC First Nations ppl)

1/We seem to be reaching the stage of the Covid debacle where all of the authoritarians are trying to memory hole all the awful things that they did. We need to make sure that we never forget. Remember when they arrested people for sitting in a park or going to the beach?
2/Remember when they salted/sanded ice rinks to prevent people from using them?torontosun.com/news/local-new…
3/Remember when they banned low-risk kids from school for months at a time and taped off play structures at parks?

1/ Early thoughts on #DoffDay from Covid crazy central (urban #Ottawa). Drove past my child's former elementary school. Looked like about 85-90% masked walking to school and in the yard, though some of the staff were not wearing them. Interesting.
2/First trip to the grocery store. Out of around 10 customers in the store, I was the only one not wearing a mask. The maskers looked even more frightened and outraged than usual. I saw one woman sanitize her hands 3 times. Store staff were 50/50 masked and unmasked. Interesting.
3/Ottawa will remain heavily masked for the first week or two. Even those who want to take them off will find it intimidating at first. Seeing people not wearing them in greater and greater numbers will give people courage to finally let go. We need face ambassadors.

1/#WearAMask if you want. It's your personal choice, but stop trying to coerce/guilt people into keeping theirs on to "protect the vulnerable". It has been clear for quite some time in the real world data that masks do not interrupt community transmission in any meaningful way.
