When We Accept That Much of Post-Modern Canadian Thought Is Blinkered, It Makes Much More Sense

Post-Second World War Canada traded its hardiness for taxpayer-funded comfort and the end result was generations of who expected their personal license to be subsidised by everyone else, an ethos of reactionary politics repeated with little variation of wording or tone and a total apathy of individual or collective fate.

Take, for example, His Eminence, Cardinal Thomas Collins' frustrated insistence that churches like Saint Michael's Cathedral (which can seat over a thousand people) remain open, at least for more than ten people at a time.

If one may digress for a moment, either one believes that rights are not some arbitrary indulgences given by governments made of fallible men but inherent to all or they don't.

This includes the right to worship or not worship.

Whatever one may think of a particular religion or religion in general, surely the spiritual thoughts of a man should not paint him as unreasonable, irrational or anti-social. After all, people embrace philosophies of all sorts, even ones that don't stand up to scrutiny. Are they to be sent to the hinterlands into exile?

In Canada, absolutely.

You can frequent a big-box store like Wal-Mart for Cheetos but don't even thinking of attending a funeral, even if the parishioners at the church where the funeral is held clean the place afterwards.

(Sidebar: I've actually done that and witnessed several others do so, as well. So there's that.)

Then there is this little matter:

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney says his government will ensure that people can choose which COVID-19 vaccine they get, in part over concerns in some religious communities about the use of fetal cell lines in their development.

Public health experts have warned that allowing people to shop around for their preferred vaccine could slow a mass vaccination program that aims to reach as many people as possible with a limited supply of doses. Other provinces have balked at letting people pick and choose vaccines, including Quebec, where the fetal cell issue has also emerged as a concern among some Catholics in the province.

 

Who is the stunted bully here: the premier who must answer to his constituents or the public health "experts" who swore at this time last year that the global house arrest would only be for a few weeks? 

To be clear: no one is talking about the usual childhood vaccinations or tetanus shots which all know to be safe, effective and for which there is transparency by all involved.

People who are worried more about the moral implications of a questionable flu shot must measure the callous demands of so-called experts who want people to take any shot available without question.

And why would people hesitate?:

Several countries have paused the use of AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine as a precaution while investigators look into cases of blood clots among vaccinated people.

Austrian authorities said Sunday that a 49-year-old woman had died as a result of severe coagulation disorder after taking the shot, and that a 35-year-old had developed blood clots in the lungs, but was recovering. Both had received vaccines from the same batch, the authorities said.

Danish authorities said Wednesday that one person who had clots after receiving the vaccine had died.

The expert panel that advises Ottawa on which people to prioritize for vaccination is reconsidering its position that the COVID-19 vaccine made by AstraZeneca should not be given to Canadians who are 65 and over.

Meanwhile, European countries including Austria, Denmark and Italy have suspended administering the vaccine, either from specific batches or entirely, while investigating reports of blood clots in individuals who received the shot.

A re-analysis of published data from the Israeli Health Ministry by Dr. Hervé Seligmann, a member of the faculty of Medicine Emerging Infectious and Tropical Diseases at Aix-Marseille University, and engineer Haim Yativ reveal, in short, that the mRNA experimental vaccine from Pfizer killed “about 40 times more (elderly) people than the disease itself would have killed” during a recent five-week vaccination period. Among the younger class, these numbers are compounded to death rates at 260 times what the COVID-19 virus would have claimed in the given time frame.

While the full mathematical analysis may be found in the article itself, the authors demonstrate how among “those vaccinated and above 65, 0.2 percent … died during the three-week period between doses, hence about 200 among 100,000 vaccinated. This is to be compared to the 4.91 dead among 100,000 dying from COVID-19 without vaccination.”

Many inconsistencies in that statement by P. Daszak: about one per sentence.https://t.co/iiU4APCEVb

"What we were told by Shi Zhengli [-], there were 3,000 hacking attempts." and that's why they took it down.

(Sidebar: and these are only the medical concerns.) 

Are these concerns met with understanding or even a willingness to listen?

Read the comments and tell me. 

Indeed, one commenter blamed religion for prolonging this pandemic.

Yeah.

People are moved not by what they love but by what they hate.

If reason and faith are the things people eschew for floor stickers, one has to wonder if the Dominion is even worth saving.
