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.
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.
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.
1/Just a reminder that mask mandates were implemented all over the western world largely based on these two studies brought forward as "emerging science":
2/2 symptomatic hairstylists served 139 clients. No one got sick. If you read a little deeper, it is acknowledged that only 67 ppl were tested, 104 were 'interviewed' and that most were wearing useless loose fitting cloth masks (including the hairstylists) cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/6…
3/2% of the 104 interviewed did not wear a mask for the entire appointment. 7 reported having respiratory virus symptoms in the past 90 days, 9 did not answer the question, 1 didn't know.
Hardly compelling evidence.
1/Based on the Zero Covidian/globalist pharma bro media being foisted upon us over the past week, here is what I infer the Canadian health fascism plan will be for the remainder of 2021.
2/They are pushing the "we are in a 3rd wave" scariant narrative. Apparently variants hit harder, stronger, faster and "ICUs are filling up with younger people" (no data to back that up of course). They claim that if we fail to act, it will be disastrous. cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…
3/They talk about the patients that they are seeing in ICU: "A teacher in their 30's, a young Tim Horton's Worker".💔
There is no indication that ON hospitals are being "hit hard". So far a small, late season bump. Unusual?
1/@JimWatsonOttawa Enough is enough. You must reign in your MOH. She has completely lost touch with reality & refuses to acknowledge the evidence-based science that has emerged over the past year, preferring predicative modeling & poo water. Our hospitals have never been at risk
2/Asymptomatic spread of C19 has been debunked by a study involving 10 million people in China. Before it became political Fauci said that "asymptomatic spread has never been the driver of epidemics". He was correct.
3/Without asymptomatic spread, no community wide testing/contact tracing or masks are needed. IPAC protocols can be restricted to LTC/healthcare only.
PCR is an inappropriate testing regimen anyway. Many (if not most) of the "cases" are false positives.
2/Fomite transmission: We can all stop OCD cleaning every surface constantly and dousing ourselves with carcinogenic, skin destroying sanitizer. Wash your hands. That's it. nature.com/articles/d4158…
3/Asymptomatic transmission: Not a thing. We can end mandatory mask orders and PCR testing/contact tracing apart from vulnerable facilities like LTC. If you are sick, stay home. That's it. nature.com/articles/s4146…
1/@VeraEtches is fully on-board with moving Ottawa into red. Let's see what our favorite batty health fascist has to say this time shall we? Settle in. This is a long one.
2/She is still concerned about fraudulent PCR test cases. These are meaningless. Google it. All it tells us is that OPH's asymptomatic school testing drive has borne fruit.
3/In the last 7 days, cases are up in the low-risk demographics and are fairly low in the high-risk demographics. This is good news, though they won't tell you that.
1/As Ottawa is thrown back into the red zone, a friendly reminder that all of the public health dictates are built on a base of ripe, grade A bullshit, more specifically the Drosten PCR testing protocol.
2/Kevin McKernan is an esteemed genomic researcher. In this thread, he takes down the fraudulent PCR testing regimen. Remember, the hysteria is all about (positive PCR test) cases, not exceptionally overloaded hospitals or C19 related excess deaths.
3/Politicians are deferring decisions that impact all facets of life to myopic PH officials and conflicted academics, neither of whom have the overall expertise to make such decisions. PH are empire building and academics have never received so much media attention and funding.
