November 27, 2024: Our X/Twitter account (@threadreaderapp) got hacked and unrolls aren't working right now. We appreciate your patience until this is resolved.
1/ Hello @COVIDSCIONTARIO. If the statement below is true and the "science" you are providing is settled, please show your work:
2/The most optimistic study puts outdoor transmission as the source of 0.1% of (high CT) positive PCR tests. The 2M rule is unscientific nonsense, as are outdoor masks. Where is your evidence? Outside is safe. Period.
3/Thinking a piece of cloth will protect you from an aerosolized virus is insane. The data bears this out. Masks are not the least bit innocuous. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
4/Unless ppl are locked in their homes for a month, followed by 100% travel elimination between regions (no delivery drivers, flights in/out, essential travel), virus will circulate. It's endemic in ON. The zero covid ship has sailed. Where is your cost/benefit? Lockdowns kill.
5/Vax rates have correlated with increased hospitalizations in ON. Recommending an emergency use, new tech vax with dubious safety data for anyone but those most at risk of C19 death/complications is irresponsible. 0.15% global IFR virus. Who knows what the vax will do long-term?
6/End test/trace/isolate. Return the def. of a case to a positive test (at a proper CT), plus clinical diagnosis. Cases will drop right off. Health care worker shortages will ease. Return to encouraging ppl to stay home when symptomatic. Sure, pay them.
7/This is a failure to recognize action/reaction. Closing non-essential industry causes unintended consequences down the line, example: Current supply chain issues around the world. Sure, improve ventilation and close quarters. Masks are useless.
8/So let's see your science on masks & 2M distancing, transparent all-cause death data, C19 vax safety, yr over yr ICU comparison, proof that lockdown have worked in ON-like jurisdictions (no, not a low pop density island w/different seasonality and different testing criteria).

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).
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?
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.
