Ryan Harper, VP of the teacher's bargaining unit, along with the president of OSSTF wrote this letter, lobbying Dr Loh to move schools to virtual learning.

Unfortunately, they were successful.

Let's explore how/why this happened.
1/
OMERS (Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement Systems) is the pension plan for most OSSTF and ETFO members of DECE/ESP/PSP locals.
2/
OMERS just happens to own a little company called lifelabs.
3/
In partnership with the ministry of education, Lifelabs is performing and processing asymptomatic testing in Ontario's schools.
4/
Are school unions using our children as bargaining chips?

I'm all for smaller class sizes but at what cost?
5/
Other issues:
▫️A potential conflict of interest - Are teacher's pensions benefiting from Lifelabs' success?

▫️Because Lifelabs is not a provincial lab, we don't know what CT value or testing protocol they use.

Four questions for #Ontario
CC: @celliottability and @fordnation

Question 1 - why are close contact and outbreak not separate in the data?
Question 2 - Why do hospitalization numbers include patients that have been discharged?
Question 3 - Two parts:
a) What is the percent positive of "specimens"?
b) Is this how cases are presented? Are duplicates/retest being ruled out or included?

"Since March, we've experienced lockdowns and restrictions of various kinds, supposedly all in the name of science.

If you don't support these things, you must hate science. That's the intellectual level of the conversation."
"In April alone, 1.4 million jobs in healthcare were lost. Because far from being overwhelmed, the hospitals were mostly empty... with the possible brief exemption of New York City."
"Now it's not hospitalizations, now its cases.. even the New York Times was reduced to admitting that as many as 90% of the tests, because the tests are so sensitive, are yielding just viral debris that isn't infectious at all.

"biotech company Profusa announced Tuesday that it was initiating a DARPA-funded study to see whether its biosensor that it injects under the skin can help detect the flu up to three weeks early."

Darpa folks. The same lovely people funding most of the RNA CRISPR vaccines.
It was all about pre-crime as a way to harvest data, now it's pre-health.

Dear mask wearing bed-wetters
Dear @fordnation
Dear @celliottability
Dear every asshole doctor and expert that has worked towards where we are today.

You're scared.
Of a virus.
You want us to be scared too.

The time has come for a different kind of fear.
Fear of economic ruin and all it brings with it.
If you're reading this and you're still wearing a mask, still begging for restrictions, fuck you.

While you hide under your covers, there are countless devastating repercussions to our bs casedemic.
My good friends own a gym.
They are devastated.
Since opening back up, they have gotten daily emails from their clients expressing gratitude, explaining the nosedive their mental health took when they were unable to go to the gym.

Global pandemic response.

Hygiene hypothesis: lack of exposure to antigens may contribute to a malfunctioning immune system.

Response: keep 6 feet away, stay in your bubble

Image
Vitamin D: evidence is strong that a deficiency is tied to impaired immune response.

Response: close parks, ban benches, limit outdoor activity to 1 hour a day (Australia)

Image
Stress: A link between chronic stress and a resistant immune system should not be a surprise.

Response: fight amongst yourselves, worry incessantly, tell your kids their hugs could make someone very sick and possibly dead.
