Malice or congenital idiocy?
YOU decide:
At the time, our government was still implying that banning travellers from China would be racist. Health Minister Patty Hajdu accused the opposition of spreading “misinformation and fear” and sensationalizing “the risk to Canadians” for even inquiring about our border policy. As late as March 13, she was still insisting that travel bans were “highly ineffective and, in some cases, can create harm.” It wasn’t until March 20 that Canada actually closed its border to non-essential travel, but by then it was too late.
There is no longer any debate about the efficacy of such policies. Countries that implemented early travel bans — such as Taiwan, Vietnam, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand — have fared much better. A study published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health in July, for example, found that the travel bans implemented Down Under reduced the importation of COVID-19 cases by 79 per cent and delayed the outbreak in that country by a month. ...
Throughout this pandemic, Canada has been hobbled to some extent by its system of federalism, and it is certainly true that many provinces have done a poor job of controlling the spread of COVID-19. But border policy is firmly within the control of the federal government. It could have been used to prevent infected individuals from entering the country, thus reducing the strain on provincial testing, tracing and health systems. But in this, the government has failed us, and Canadians are dying as a result.

It’s inevitable that a vaccine-poor country sharing a 9,000 km border with a vaccine-glutted country would yield some arbitrage. Below, how Canadians are slipping over the border to capitalize on some sweet, sweet American COVID shots.
“We landed in the USA Friday night, and Saturday morning we were fully vaccinated against COVID-19,” reads a recent blog post by Montreal’s Andrew D’Amour, co-founder of the travel website Flytrippers. In early April, D’Amour booked a vaccination appointment at a Tom Thumb grocery store in Dallas, caught a flight the next day to Texas, and will eventually re-enter Canada by road to avoid mandatory hotel quarantine.

With virtually all of the U.S.’s most vulnerable demographics now fully vaccinated, most states have opened up vaccination to everyone over the age of 16. Proof of U.S. citizenship is not required to get the shot. However, many state immunization authorities have also made it clear that their shots are intended for their own residents, and not out-of-staters or foreign nationals. “If you do not live or work in Washington, please do not make vaccine appointments,” reads the official webpage of the Washington State Department of Health.
Once again, Canadians confident in their healthcare system prove it by running to the US.
Also - why not? Brain bleeds and clots should be for everyone!:
Pfizer and BioNTech have submitted a request for European Union drug regulators to extend the approval of the companies’ coronavirus vaccine to include children ages 12 to 15, a move that could offer younger and less at-risk populations in Europe access to the shots for the first time.
Sweet Pharma money!
Two Toronto-based politicians are pressing a Chinese-Canadian doctor to remove a sign on his office door – in Chinese – that refers to COVID-19 as the “Wuhan pneumonia,” complaining the wording could incite anti-Asian hatred.
A nurse reveals that COVID sufferers were neglected and let die before Andrew Cuomo or the Canadian government got a chance to kill them:
She was assigned to Elmhurst, which she called the epicenter of the epicenter.
"The very first day [at Elmhurst] I was shocked. It was something I’ve never seen before. Patients were alone in the rooms on ventilators [with] no family allowed in [to advocate for them]. People were just dying from gross negligence, medical malpractice, [and] mismanagement," she said.
Olzewski said patients who repeatedly tested negative for the virus were being labeled as "COVID confirmed" in their medical charts, and that triggered a higher level of compensation from the government.
She told LifeSiteNews those "perverse incentives" from the Department of Health and Human Services provided $13,000 for each COVID patient, or $39,000 if they were put on a ventilator.
And she explained the wild variances in treatment.
"[In Florida] we treated our patients with hydroxychloroquine, zinc … sent them home and they were fine," she said. In New York, "they were banning alternative treatments like hydroxychloroquine. The only thing they could do was to put people on ventilators."
B@$#@rds.
No one cares about your "lockdowns":
A Tillsonburg golf course was charged under the Reopening Ontario Act, police announced late Thursday night, after the course opened last weekend in defiance of provincial pandemic restrictions.
