Superb journalism by Trish Woods interviewing Nicholas Wade (former NYT journalist). In careful detail, Mr. Wade discusses the origins of C19, leading you to a logical conclusion. It must have come from the Wuhan Lab, a gain of function experiment. 1/

Its two hours in length and the approach is methodical, as the two careful weigh the evidence left at the so called "crime scene". There is nuance and it's thought provoke. It's a welcome change from the thoughtless propaganda of commercial TV. 2/
From day 1, Canada's C19 response has appeared rather misguided and aimless. There was always a piece of the puzzle missing, that being an accurate accounting for the origins of C19. The natural emergence hypothesis lacked evidence and credibility. 3/
It is easy to understand that with two major powers (US and China), the NIH and Fauci implicated in the decision tree, why there was a push to suppress the lab leak hypothesis. Acknowledging their role in initiating a pandemic would be embarrassing. 4/
The implications of the lab leak hypothesis are far reaching. We need to ask some serious questions of our politicians and public health officials. What do they know about the origins of C19 and is this knowledge shaping how they approach the pandemic. 5/
Please take the time to listen to serious people debate a serious topic. Inform your friends and start questioning those in leadership. 6/

I remember a MP named Sven Robinson. Young, passionate and openly gay when that was a liability. At a party, he walked away with a piece of jewelry, a flight of fancy. A week later, he rose in parliament, admitted his error and resigned. It was simple, he had broken trust. 1/
It was an act that left an indelible mark on a younger version of me. It framed my view of what it meant to be a public figure. It instilled faith in the political process and reminded me how seriously public officials took their actions and responsibilities. 2/
Here, some 30 years later, many Canadians sit with their trust in gov't shattered by a public health community that has been disturbing incorrect and inflexible. It has walled itself off and retreated into ideology and archane theory. 3/

15 months into the C19 response and Canadians are confronted with an unflattering reality. Contrary to our national myth of "sound governance" we find ourselves devoid of leadership and being slowly suffocated by empty platitudes and virtue signaling. 1/
From the local to the federal level, leaders are adrift, too scared to face the truth. That being our public health response to C19 has been an abject failure from start-to-finish. Our leaders lacked either the fortitude or skill to stop it. 2/
Canada's C19 response should have been stopped on day 1. Claims of viral lethality and efficiacy of NPIs/vaccines were wildly exaggerated. Instead of walking back these claims, public health embraced them, creating interlocking layers of incoherent policy. 3/

Your weekly reminder that you are living through the largest social policy blunder in Canadian history. So much to discuss in regards to C19, but lets take a cue from Anthony Furey and keep it simple. 1/
Lost in the noise of Canada's ever aimlessly public health campaign are simple facts. Under the age of 40, the risk of death/hospitalization is stunningly small and arguably lower than the flu. C19 is a highly age/risk statified respiratory illness. 2/
This was appreciated early by actuaries, who make a living studying death curves. Ever wonder why life insurance rates didn't go up with the arrival of a new respiratory virus. Its because C19 didn't materially impact the risk profile of the people they insure. 3/

Warren Kinsella succinctly noted yesterday the collapse of "trust" in gov't and its messaging. Unsurprising given the poor public health campaign without a comparator in modern Canadian history. 1/

Coercive public health campaigns have a start and an end point (vaccination). Everything in between supports a preset story line. Official statements need not be accurate, they are manipulative and designed to challenge your sense of emotional/physical security. 2/
Needless to say, it's a disingenuous way to treat citizens and such campaigns are highly corrosive to society. They are typically reserved for serious viral threats which C19 isn't. One can readily garner that by examining publicly available data. 3/

Its hard to look at main stream news today and consider it a valuable public service. Cheapened by the sound bite and "gotcha" journalism, its notable for its general intellectual laziness. Its been in slow decline and many outlets deserve to die. But other formats rise. 1/
As one looks across this landscape, two general formats are emerging and starting to thrive. The first is true long format journalism, focused on unique (rather than popular) thought leaders. "Unherd", a YouTube production out of England is a good example. 2/
Perspective is fresh and unrehearsed, and their is a freedom of thought, that comes to the forefront, when interview length is unconstrained. An emerging Canadian equivalent is Trish Woods @WoodReporting, well worth a listen. 3/

Your weekly reminder that you are witnessing the largest social policy diaster in Canadian history. And we have the numbers to prove that. But this week, lets focus on one of root causes of this blunder. "Science as Authority". 1/
This excellent video by Dr. John Lee starts to frame this issue. Thoughtful as usual but the last 5 mins caught my attention. He starts to identify "Govt's dysfunctional relationship with science" as a source of our C19 problems. 2/

What does he means by this? Science is a process whereby we open our thoughts/ideas to external verification. Testing follows the so called "scientific method" and if validated, thoughts are elevated in importance and gain societal sway. 3/
