“As the pandemic evolves, the failure of current public health policies now shines clearer than a midnight star. The assumption that hybrid immunity — vaccines combined with infections — would end COVID’s relentless evolution has fed the pandemic, not starved it”
“If getting infected, vaxxed, or vaxxed-plus-infected actually made us safe as COVID circulates, Canada wouldn’t be recording its highest death rate of nearly 20,000 this year.”
“Yes, COVID has vanquished more Canadians this year than in 2020 or 2021. And the virus has sent more Canadians to the hospital this year than in previous ones, too.”
“If hybrid immunity was the solution our children’s hospitals wouldn’t be in crisis, with young patients on ventilators battling co-infections of the flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and COVID.”
“One misleading explanation is that because kids were shielded from other infections due to COVID protocols, they’ve incurred an “immunity debt” that now has come due. For the record there is no such thing as immunity debt.”
“And until we have a better understanding of what is going on, we can’t rule out another thesis — that repeated exposures to COVID may have weakened children’s immunity to other infections.”
“In any case, there is no mystery to what we should be doing to protect ourselves and our kids.”
“Do not listen to powers that be who pretend that getting infected with COVID multiple times is now no big deal. They’re asking you to lower your guard for a nasty virus that can invade the brain, disregulate the immune system and damage the vascular system”
“This strategy has led to predictable results — more direct deaths, more excess deaths, more disease and some 1.4 million Canadians reporting some form of #LongCovid over the last two years”
“Brendan Crabb, an infectious disease expert, immunologist and director of Australia’s prestigious Burnet Institute bluntly tells the truth. “It is never OK to get infected with a pathogen as a part of a strategy to not get infected by that pathogen.””
“The key is to simply and systematically reduce viral transmission with clear messages that get the job done to protect the general health of our citizens, children and elders.”
“Providing schools and work places with good ventilation and filtration is doable and even cheap, given that Canada has spent $9 billion on COVID hospitalization costs alone this year.”
“Putting on a N95 mask or a respirator in public spaces radically reduces transmission and protects everyone.
Why isn’t the government providing N95 masks for free to encourage their widespread use?”

“Isolating when sick, an old-fashioned courtesy, reduces the spread of disease…
Providing access to testing gives everyone information about viral movement and prevalence. It also invites proper treatment or respectful isolation.”

“Public health officials have a duty to advance health and serve the common good. They abandon that responsibility when they kowtow to the short-term needs of cowardly politicians with an eye only on election cycles and disease of power.”
“Why, then, aren’t we being consistently reminded by health officials that the pandemic poses real risks to our health and the quality of lives?
In particular why aren’t officials daily reminding people of these critical 10 points?”
In particular why aren’t officials daily reminding people of these critical 10 points?”
“1. COVID is airborne and travels like smoke.
2. COVID is a disease of the vascular system.
3. COVID alters and ages brain function for up to two years after an infection.
4. Having COVID is associated with a 66 per cent higher risk of developing new onset diabetes.“

“5. COVID damages the heart and can cause sudden strokes in young people.
6. Each and every COVID infection exerts a toll on your health.
7. Immune dysfunctions can persist for up to eight months and possibly longer after a COVID infection.”

“ 8. Women are at greatest risk for long COVID.
9. Vaccines alone won’t deliver us.
10. We are all in this together.”
9. Vaccines alone won’t deliver us.
10. We are all in this together.”
“Public health officials and politicians aren’t telling us this because they are afraid to take on the responsibility for implementing these changes. Or they are too ashamed to admit the scale of their mistakes.”
“That means each and every citizen must send them a signal that we refuse to surrender to an immune evasive virus. And that the prospect of massive ill health of our children is not acceptable collateral damage.”
“The pandemic will not end until we consciously and collectively act.”
