April 6th, 2023: @Twitter has been randomly shutting down API access for many apps and sadly we were affected today too. Hopefully we will be restored soon! We appreciate your patience until then.
Dr. Davidson struggling to answer whether 'informed consent' applies in Canada.
Davidson: "Historically it would have applied, before the pandemic."
4/
The commissioner asks Dr. Davidson about the difference risks of covid outcome based on age.
Davidson: "If you're a healthy child, you're risk of a bad outcome from covid approaches zero. If you're 80 you're at 1000x risk."
5/
He then gets posed a question about his view on widespread lockdowns.
Davidson: "It was my first major crisis moment.
6/
Dr. Davidson touches on an often ignored point, which is the hyperfocus on this single virus.
Davidson: "This one virus, which was one more way among a thousand other ways that we could die in life, was the only thing that Public Health was concerned with."
Dr. Davidson then talks about his hesitation over the speed at which the vaccines were released under Operation Warp Speed.
Davidson: "By definition, you don't have the long term data. Especially in terms of safety."
11/
Dr. Davidson continues on, conceding that he simply believed Public Health's endorsement of the vaccines as being 'safe & effective'.
Davidson: "I was naïve. I should have questioned things more. But I hoped that the powers that be knew what they were doing."
12/
Dr. Davidson shares his view on labeling the vaccines as 'safe & effective'.
Davidson: "I never just sit down with a patient and say 'this is safe & effective. Do it'. That's never how we talk about things."
13/
After having criticized the labeling of the vaccines as 'safe & effective', the commissioner asks Dr. Davidson how he felt about the mandates themselves.
Davidson: "It's one thing to heavily promote a vaccine. To then force people to take it is a whole new level."
14/
Dr. Davidson takes a moment to stress that he does not deny the severity of the virus.
Davidson: "It was serious. I'm not a covid denier."
15/
He then lays out the only situation where a mandate would be justified.
Davidson: "It would have to be a pathogen that is so serious, and the intervention is so safe & so effective that you can contravene informed consent."
16/
He then says that information was coming out that the vaccine was not effective, which undermined support for a mandate.
Davidson: "The whole argument for forcing vaccination on someone is null and void."
17/
The commissioner then asks Dr. Davidson about adverse effects.
Davidson: "It's not adverse effects DUE To vaccination, but FOLLOWING vaccination, because it's extremely difficult to prove."
18/
Continuing on, Dr. Davidson describes how there was a lack of reporting of adverse events.
Davidson: "We should have been encouraging people to report adverse events happening after."
19/
Dr. Davidson does proceed to answer the original question, as to whether he observed any adverse events.
Davidson: "I certainly had first hand experience of life threatening and minor events, shortly after vaccination."
20/
Dr. Davidson describes the cumbersome adverse events reporting system.
Davidson: "It took me 45 minutes to submit the report."
21/
The commissioner then asks a pointed question.
Commissioner: "The way that reporting system was set up, could it inhibit the reporting of adverse events?"
Davidson: "Yes".
22/
Dr. Davidson continues to criticize the Public Health Agency for undermining adverse events reporting.
Davidson: "We were relentlessly bombarded with how safe & effective the vaccines were. Safe & effective 1000x a day."
Dr. Davidson further criticizes Public Health for their thinly veiled threats.
Davidson: "We were informed by the College that if we publicly voiced anything other than support of Public Health's statements, we would be disciplined."
24/
Finally, Dr. Davidson wraps the issue of adverse events reporting together.
Davidson: "Not only is reporting cumbersome, the overall messaging was not 'be sure to look out for these adverse events'."
The commissioner asks another pointed question regarding adverse events reports.
Commissioner: "Is it your opinion that the messaging that you just described had a dissuasive effect on the reporting."
Davidson: "I don't know how it couldn't have".
26/
The commissioner asks another pointed question, this time about vaccine mandates.
Commissioner: "Is it your opinion that the implementation of vaccine mandates was a necessary measure?"
Davidson: "The vaccine mandates were an unnecessary measure".
27/
The commissioner asks one final pointed question.
Commissioner: "Is it your opinion that the implementation of vaccine mandates was a reasonable public safety measure."
Davidson: "No, they were not a reasonable public safety measure".
Crowd: Applause
28/
Dr. Davidson's response when asked of others leaving Nova Scotia.
Davidson: "Some of these are people that were fired for not getting vaccinated, Even now, two years later, they can't work as a health care worker unless they got those two vaccines, from two years ago."
29/
Dr. Davidson goes back and directly answers the question.
Davidson: "I know of dozens of doctors and nurses who aren't working. A few got vaccinated but, just like me, got sick of things and are in the process of moving away."
30/
Dr Davidson's sarcastically responds when the Commissioner said 'one would have thought there would have been an additional review process'.
Davidson: "One would have thought!".
31/
Dr. Davidson delivers a beautiful explanation for how everything went to hell.
Davidson: "A new Public Health elite emerged and they became obsessed with this virus. Then it became political. Then it became tribal."
Dr. Aris Lavranos, an emergency physician in Nova Scotia shares his progression from an alarmist mindset at the onset of #covid, to a more skeptical one throughout.
Dr. Laura Braden, a molecular immunologist working in Prince Edward Island during the #pandemic , describes in lay terms everything wrong with the #COVID19 'injenctibles'.
Dr. Braden describes what happened when she noticed significant similarities between #coronavirus and #HIV.
Braden: "I wanted to talk about it but I was silenced by my peers."
3/
Dr. Braden criticizing Public Health for its endorsement of masking.
Braden: "If you're working with viruses, you need negative pressure rooms, flow hoods, full body suits, and proper respirators. Not a bedazzled cloth mask."
Batemarco opens with the now well known fact of the erosion of the US dollar’s worth, relative to its own past.
“Since 1933, the U.S. dollar has lost 92 percent of its domestic purchasing power.”
3/
He then reframes the erosion of the US dollar relative to other currencies.
“In international markets, the dollar has, since 1969, depreciated 65 percent against the Deutsche Mark, 74 percent against the Swiss franc, and 76 percent against the yen.”
