Hibernation Day #153 | Watching Canada's Establishment fall all over itself to support Ukraine is interesting. Our Finance Minister, Twitch, is out marching, maskless, in Toronto. Every mainstream party is onboard. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 1/
Legacy media is full of stories of "plucky" Ukraine standing up to Putin's Bear. Again, I have no special expertise on Ukraine and no idea of the rights and wrongs of the current conflict; but our establishment seems certain. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 2/
Russia bad, Ukraine good (ignore the Nazis, just Russian misinformation.) Could it be that simple? Maybe. But the establishment's track record on things like COVID and the truckers is not encouraging. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 3/
The conservative (small c) consensus seems to be that the Ukraine is not Canada's fight. And, if it is, then we should do something useful like stopping importing Russian oil. Which makes a lot more sense than pouring vodka down the drain. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 4/
However, "making sense" has ceased to be something which carries much, if any, political weight. In most of Canada COVID restrictions, mandates and passports are being terminated. Because of science? Nope. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 5/
The fact is that mandates and passports never had anything to do with science or health: they were designed to force people to get the jabs or lose jobs and access. They were not nudges, they were shoves. Now they have run their course. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 6/
Essentially all the people who could be bullied have been bullied and, except in BC and New Brunswick, the measures are coming to their political end. Unsullied by even a hint of science. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 7/
Given that the non-pharmaceutical interventions were all fundamentally political rather than scientific, it is no great surprise that they are being lifted (or not) for political reasons. People want some semblance of "normal" to return. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 8/
However, "normal" is likely impossible to achieve simply because the coercion worked and a significant majority of the population has had at least two jabs. That the jabs do nothing to protect from Omicron is incidental. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 9/
What is not incidental are the statistics emerging from the insurance industry: all cause death is up. A lot. 20-40% year on year in people under 80. These extra deaths are not COVID. They are something else. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 10/
Life insurance is a well understood industry. It depends on actuaries who can, with some precision, estimate the likelihood of death for particular groups of people. Those estimates ensure that the insurers make a profit if people die as expected. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 11/
A couple of points one way or another in a cohort's death rate is baked into the premium structure, 10%, much less 40% is not. So what changed? Arguably, lockdowns could increase the death rate somewhat; but, realistically, the jabs. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 12/
It will take a while for the numbers to go from suggestive to conclusive and even longer for causation to be firmly established; but right now it looks like the long term effect of jabbing a population is excess death. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 13/
The working hypothesis is that the jabs bugger up people's immune systems in unforeseen ways and that this makes them more vulnerable to things like cancer or other viruses. Plus, there is a lot of evidence that jabs lead to cardiac events. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 14/
Again, a lot of this is speculative. It will take a couple of years worth of hard data to confirm a trend towards higher excess death. However, the fact is that Western populations were coerced into taking lightly trialled jabs.#honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 15/
If it turns out that the jabs are, in fact, deadly in more than a few instances, "normal" is never coming back. After all, you cannot get "unjabbed". And, if you are jabbed you have relied on PHO and government advice. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 16/
I am hoping that the excess death effect is small and transitory. But, whatever it is, the responsibility for those excess deaths rests on the pharma companies which rushed the development and the gov't which rushed the approvals. #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 17/
This week we will see - I hope - the first 50,000 pages of the Pfizer application for jab approval. It should be very interesting. Very. Meanwhile, Spring is Coming! #honkhonkhonk #bankruncanada 18/18
