1/x You have a right to protect yourself. You do not have a right to take away someone else's rights and freedoms to do so. Your rights end where mine begin and vice versa. This principle is the basis of ALL liberal democracies.
2/x πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦'s Charter does NOT allow govt to suspend Charter rights and freedoms without FIRST passing the Oakes Test in a court of law in which ALL evidence is weighed. This was NEVER done. These public health measure are unlawful.

Ignoring legal principles does not make it right.
3/x Reasonable measures to protect health do not include:
- eliminating public debate
- media acting as a propaganda arm for govt
- suspending court access via evasion tactics
- limiting right to protest
- ignoring informed consent
- coersion
These are symptoms of tyranny.
4/x A new age of pandemics? This is pure fiction, a figment of fevered imaginations. There is no period in history without respiratory virus pandemics. This is not new or unprecedented. But the lockdown response is unrestrained medieval hysteria.
5/5 Solidarity is another word for tyranny when solidarity involves restricting evidence-based debate, govt propaganda, and censorship.

It used to be a liberal value to convince people through two-way evidence-based debate, not through one-way lecturing and brute force. #Tyranny

Pay attention Canada, here it comes. Bill 36 is the bill that criminalizes wrongthink in Canada. And the police are all over it.

A few excerpts are in order to show you how grim this is about to get:

β€œIn πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦we don’t have anything regulating speech,” said Statham. β€œUnder Sec. 2 of our Charter Of Rights our freedom of expression is protected. So there is no such thing as free speech in Canada, only freedom of expression.”

AKA - freedom of expression is not freedom of speech
2/x
Bill C-36 would define hatred as β€œthe emotion that involves detestation or vilification and that is stronger than dislike or disdain.”

I'm old enough to remember when crime was about actions, not words or emotions.

A thread: The Revolt in Quebec's medical community has begun.

"We're over 100 per cent occupation and we have less than 50 per cent staff available."

Hysteria has consequences. Let's see how govt gets out of this self-created mess.

For context, there are only 54 COVID patients hospitalized in QC today. The trough between the 2nd and 3rd wave (end of February) bottomed around 500 concurrent hospitalizations.

Healthcare collapse is not b/c of COVID patients, it is because of staff leaving.

RE: Dr. Francis Christian's dismissal:

If you use the WayBack Machine you can see that the WHO changed the child vaccination message on their page sometime during the day on June 22nd.

From the bold "Children should not be vaccinated for the moment"

A thread on why lockdowns kill:

The fantasy of "flattening the curve" completely ignores the reality of seasonality. There is no flattening because only the height, but not the width of the curve is affected by slowing the spread. Seasonality determines the width.
1/x
The two COVID waves (Winter of 19/20 and 20/21) are clearly visible in this chart of weekly deaths. Seasonality is obvious. And there is ZERO evidence of flattening the curve. Waves did not get "fatter" than previous years.
2/x
Here's what really happens... each peak is blunted by delaying the number of infections required to reach herd immunity. Those infections are delayed until the next winter season, or the next.

Where are outbreaks happening in Canada?

How dangerous are they in each setting?

What does it tell us about protecting the vulnerable?

What does it tell us about gyms, schools, restaurants, and living life in general?

A thread:
1/
The largest outbreaks, based on cases/outbreak, are community spread (i.e. there is less chance of big outbreaks in schools, restaurants, gyms & even LTC than just living life in general). These facilities do not produce more CASES than living life in general.
2/
Setting may not impact cases, but does impact deaths. Vulnerable people (weak immunity, pre-existing conditions) are in LTC & hospitals. Outbreaks elsewhere produce cases but almost no deaths

Outbreaks in schools, gyms, restaurants or community at large are largely irrelevant

Every vax should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

COVID-19 vax is a NO for me, both because of evidence and on principle. Here are the 13 reasons why I'm not taking it:

THE EVIDENCE:
1. I'm not at risk (less dangerous than flu)

2. Long term trials not done

1/x
3. Short term trials exclude many categories

4. Not clear it works

5. Increasing signs of unacceptable risk & side effects

But equally disqualifying are the principles being broken by health authorities, which are clear violations of Charter Rights.

6. Rolling out a vax before knowing all short & long term side effects for all ppl is unethical & illegal. Govt needs to be taught a lesson to prevent this ever happening again.
