1/OK. Let's see who truly "won" this debate between non-subject matter experts @billmaher & @SethMacFarlane🧵
Maher: Natural immunity was not considered.
MacFarlane: Natural immunity has been debunked.
Winner: Maher. Natural immunity does not prevent you from catching seasonal.. 2/respiratory viruses, but prior infection does protect against severe illness, much as mRNA shots were supposed to do, however, natural immunity also provided better outcomes than mRNA shots.

1/As Covid era memories start to fade, I would like to tell my workplace mRNA mandate story as a reminder of what was done to individuals by our gov't, media and 'experts', buoyed by a fearful/hateful populace who were ripe to fall victim to an industrial propaganda campaign. 2/I have had a spotless, multi-decade career at a gov't agency. I worked my way up from an entry level position to senior leadership without a university degree. I am well liked and well respected by my managers, peers and employees. I have done much heavy lifting over the years.

1/In the end there will be no accountability. Not for nudge units or journalists. Not for Jinping, Gates, Tedros, McKinsey or Zuckerberg. Not for Fauci, Bourla, Tam, Biden, Trudeau or Andrews. Not for Ferguson, Drosten, Fisman, Gonsalves or Ding. Not for Ford, Legault or Devilla 2/They diverted the eyes of the masses with collectivist slogans:
"2 weeks to slow the spread"
"Healthcare heroes"
"Together...apart"
"Do your part. Stay 6 feet apart"
"Your mask protects me & mine protects you"
"Safe & effective. Do your part to protect the community"

1/We seem to be reaching the stage of the Covid debacle where all of the authoritarians are trying to memory hole all the awful things that they did. We need to make sure that we never forget. Remember when they arrested people for sitting in a park or going to the beach? 2/Remember when they salted/sanded ice rinks to prevent people from using them?torontosun.com/news/local-new…

1/ Early thoughts on #DoffDay from Covid crazy central (urban #Ottawa). Drove past my child's former elementary school. Looked like about 85-90% masked walking to school and in the yard, though some of the staff were not wearing them. Interesting. 2/First trip to the grocery store. Out of around 10 customers in the store, I was the only one not wearing a mask. The maskers looked even more frightened and outraged than usual. I saw one woman sanitize her hands 3 times. Store staff were 50/50 masked and unmasked. Interesting.

1/#WearAMask if you want. It's your personal choice, but stop trying to coerce/guilt people into keeping theirs on to "protect the vulnerable". It has been clear for quite some time in the real world data that masks do not interrupt community transmission in any meaningful way. 2/

1/The public debate on the ethics of vax mandates has been somewhat convoluted. In the end, it all boils down to these 2 fundamental questions:
- Does the vax stop infection/transmission?
- Are the unvaxxed placing an undue burden on health care?🧵 2/The answer to question 1 is unequivocally no. Current new cases/100K in ON clearly show that the vaccinated are getting infected more than the unvaxxed.

1/If there's one thing we know it's this: @spaikin is a card carrying Covidian. He allowed the nazi @garymasonglobe spin hateful yarns unabated, but just about took @rupasubramanya's head off when the well researched subject of poor risk/benefit for certain demographics came up. 2/That mRNA shots don't stop transmission is no longer up for debate, rendering all mandates unethical. Unvaxxed C19 patients occupy only 8% of total ON ICU beds (16% vaxxed), destroying @spaikin's virtue-signaling argument that that unvaxxed are "preventing cancer surgeries."

1/Ontarians are clearly being held hostage by powerful special interests. Unfortunately most Ontarians also have Stockholm syndrome, unable to stray from their tribal loyalties, no matter how unhinged their 'betters" have become. Several dangerous precedents have now been set. 2/Teachers unions want much smaller class sizes, expensive ventilation retrofits, C19 vaccine mandates for kids and forever N95 masks on staff and students. They also want @fordnation out of office. Until these demands are met, they will hold the public education system hostage.

1/Ontarians are done w/C19 restrictions. Why? They have sacrificed so much & have done everything asked of them to support the stated purpose of protecting hospital capacity. After 2 yrs, is it still reasonable to ask for more sacrifices? The answer is no
globalnews.ca/news/8457306/l… 2/The response to C19 started w/"2 wks to flatten the curve" to give hospitals time to ramp up for an influx of C19 patients. @fordnation @celliottability & overpriced hospital administrators like @AnthonyDaleOHA @KevinSmithUHN had 2 yrs to adjust business models to cope w/C19...

1/When have we heard this before @VeraEtches @JimWatsonOttawa @OttawaHealth ? 2/Same playbook, same lies, same crocodile tears, no checks and balances, no accountability.

1/This isn't the 1st time that a public health official has blatantly lied in order to further a C19 narrative in ON. This one from Karen Moore is a whopper, no doubt & he should absolutely be terminated @fordnation @celliottability @PublicHealthON, but there have been others. 2/Who can forget this brutal lie by @VeraEtches & @OttawaHealth back in October 2020? Was she terminated for deliberately panicking/misleading the public @JimWatsonOttawa? No! She got a massive raise instead.

1/I made the mistake of listening to @cbcradio #Ottawa this morning to assess the current level of hysteria being thrown at the normies and bedwetters. Unsurprisingly, it's still off the charts. What did surprise me though was how non-sensical the reporting was. 2 examples... 2/Story about suspension of QC health workers (& their credentials!): A quote that it would be irresponsible to allow un-vaxxed workers to work around the most vulnerable. In QC, ages 60-85 are @ over 90% 2x vax, 85+ @ 88%. Every vulnerable person who wants the shots has got them

1/This is interesting. @WhigStandard scrubbed 2 articles from early 2020 in the past 24 hrs where Karen Moore took a pragmatic & reasonable view on risks from C19. Another PH official who followed standard fact based & reassuring comms before the coordinated fearmongering started Image 2/In this one, the risks of C19 v. the flu are downplayed and confidence of readiness is expressed.

1/Well this is embarrassing @JimWatsonOttawa @VeraEtches @OttawaHealth. Imagine implementing something as uncomfortable and intrusive as being forced to breathe through fabric & having your face cancelled without any backing science, data or assessment of risk. Image 2/You say this was a decision made by the province of ON. A quick reminder that the province wanted to stay out of mask mandates originally. cp24.com/mobile/news/on…

1/COI-riddled @DFisman who advocates for lockdown policies that have resulted in est. 6,300,000 yrs-life lost in Canada (v. est. 22333 yrs-life lost had there been no lockdown) calling everyone who disagrees with him a racist to distract from his failings. theglobeandmail.com/opinion/articl… 2/Fisman cherry picks a few extremist outliers to paint the entire multi-ethnic, pan-political anti-NPI movement with the same brush. Personally, I am a lifelong NDP/Liberal voter now politically homeless. Do you think all of these ppl are racists David?

1/You know that team swamp is losing when they try to distract from their corruption, lies and failings by playing the 'racist/white supremacist' card. Don't allow them to divert your attention. It is, in fact, Covid inc. that is racist (and more accurately classist). 2/Racism/classism is advocating for policies which allow the privileged to isolate themselves in comfortable homes at full pay while the underclass (those who haven't lost their jobs/businesses) bring them their skip the dishes and amazon orders (while masked of course).

1/EXCLUSIVE 🚨: First image of the B.1.617 variant has been obtained. There are 2 million of these little devils in Canada already. 2/India currently uses about 10:1 Covishield v. Covaxin. This is quite a massive, unnatural spike in cases/deaths. Not consistent with expected viral mutation. Note the vax ramp up v. the death spike.

1/ Hello @COVIDSCIONTARIO. If the statement below is true and the "science" you are providing is settled, please show your work: 2/The most optimistic study puts outdoor transmission as the source of 0.1% of (high CT) positive PCR tests. The 2M rule is unscientific nonsense, as are outdoor masks. Where is your evidence? Outside is safe. Period.

1/Back in December, I wrote a thread about the father of the universal mask mandate @jeremyphoward and his #masks4all lobbyist group.
2/At the time, I noted his connections to WEF. I hadn't been exposed to McKinsey and Co's swampy role in C19 at that point. Well looky here. Howard is part of that circle too, albeit early on in his career:
