COVID Screw-Ups And You

Why, that sounds like a plan to me, and not a good one:

Cabinet confidentially reviewed the prospect of vaccine passports while publicly opposing the idea as extreme, according to internal records. The Prime Minister for the first time August 15 endorsed compulsory proof of vaccination for federal employees and air passengers: “Not everyone agrees.”  

But Justin insisted that you enact this:

Premier Doug Ford has asked that changes be made to a planned vaccine certificate system presented to his cabinet on Monday night and it’s now unclear when the program could be rolled out, sources tell CTV News Toronto.

The Ford government was expected to unveil an Ontario-based vaccine certificate system sometime this week.

However, sources tell CTV News Toronto that Ford’s cabinet met for approximately two hours on Monday night to consider the proposed system and did not approve it.

 

 

She can take it out of her pension:

Public Works Minister Anita Anand’s department awarded the first of $81 million in sole-sourced Covid contracts to a Québec supplier one day after exchanging emails with the company, according to court records. The vendor was later sued for alleged breach of contract: “Time was of the essence.”

 

Well, there is an election only Justin wanted, so ... :

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) hasn’t held a single COVID-19 briefing since the announcement of the federal election on Aug. 15 and doesn’t plan to provide any more in-person health updates until it’s over, Global News has learned.

Not to worry: 

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is set to hold its first in-person briefing on the COVID-19 pandemic since the federal election was called on Aug. 15, according to statements from the agency and Chief Public Health Officer Dr. Theresa Tam.

 

I'm sure Tam can assure everyone how well these shots work.

Oh, wait:

A 3000% increase in expected teenage male myocarditis cases are observed following covid-19 vaccination.

Real-world data from Israel linked Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to an elevated risk of heart inflammation, researchers said this week.

Israeli scientists found that vaccination likely caused myocarditis, or heart inflammation, in one to five people per 100,000 who wouldn’t have otherwise suffered the condition.

However, they also said that getting COVID-19 was linked to a higher risk—with 11 inflammation events out of 100 attributed to the disease.

Most of the heart inflammation cases post-vaccination were in young males. The 21 people who had myocarditis in the vaccinated group had a median age of 25, and 90.9 percent were men.

Japan suspended the use of 1.63 million doses of Moderna Inc's (MRNA.O) COVID-19 vaccine on Thursday, more than a week after the domestic distributor received reports of contaminants in some vials.

The Department of Health in internal emails cautioned political aides to tone down claims by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that a vaccine was “the best bet to end the pandemic.” Staff warned it was unclear whether a Covid booster shot had to be “reinvented every year.”

Let's make sure that kids get these shots. What could go wrong?

 

  

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo hid the real body count: 

Delivering another blow to what’s left of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s legacy, New York’s new governor acknowledged on her first day in office that the state has had nearly 12,000 more deaths from COVID-19 than Cuomo told the public.

“The public deserves a clear, honest picture of what’s happening. And that’s whether it’s good or bad, they need to know the truth. And that’s how we restore confidence,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said on NPR.

In its first daily update on the outbreak Tuesday evening, Hochul’s office reported that nearly 55,400 people have died of the coronavirus in New York based on death certificate data submitted to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

That’s up from about 43,400 that Cuomo reported to the public as of Monday, his last day in office. The Democrat who was once widely acclaimed for his leadership during the COVID-19 outbreak resigned in the face of an impeachment drive after being accused of sexually harassing at least 11 women, allegations he disputed.
