Mid-Week Post

Your middle-of-the-week walk through the park ...

 


What the Nuremburg Code says:

The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. ...

The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury. ...

The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment. ...

Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death. ...

The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. ...

During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible. ...

During the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill and careful judgment required of him, that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject. 

 

What CTV News gets wrong:

The mortality statistics from the John Hopkins Centre and the most recent mortality statistics for Canada indicate that the most at-risk category - the elderly - had higher death rates than other age groups. This is not inconsistent with previous annual flu mortality rates.

Considering the above (and how the elderly were overlooked during the first and second waves) and the proven infection rates, is it necessary for the generally young and healthy to wear masks that offer little protection, shield one's self from the outside world or get injections that cause serious side-effects (more on that later)?


Canadians made fearful of the effects of the coronavirus and those threatened with loss of jobs and movement cannot voluntarily give consent any more than a man at gunpoint can freely move around. Indeed, the Trudeau government has promised to make it impossible for anyone to legally challenge businesses over lack of service even though it is highly likely that these businesses will fold due to lack of customers. 

It has also been the case that informed consent was lacking or partial:

“Before the vaccine is rolled out to children, both children and parents must know the risks of mRNA vaccines to children, any benefit to children and any alternatives to vaccines,” he said in a statement.

“The principle of informed consent is being consistently violated in this province for the mRNA vaccine for our kids. I have not met a single vaccinated child or parent who has been adequately informed and who then understand the risks of this vaccine or its benefits.”

 

When monetary inducements are offered and have little to no effect, the promise to limit the movement of those considered to be unvaccinated (which could be even those who have had three shots) is nothing short of dictatorial.

 

Consider the rising cases of severe side-effects from these shots, themselves not strictly vaccines or effective:

A six-week-old breastfeeding baby became inexplicably ill with a high fever after his mother received a COVID-19 vaccine and he died weeks later with blood clots in his “severely inflamed arteries,” according to a vaccine adverse event report filed with the U.S. government.

An unidentified 36-year-old woman from New Mexico said she received a first dose of Pfizer’s Covid-19 jab on June 4, 2021 when she was breastfeeding her six-week-old infant son, according to a report filed with the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).

“On July 17, my baby passed away,” says the report, which first appeared on VAERS August 13, 2021.

**

A report quietly released last week by Public Health Ontario (PHO) tallies the number of people in the province who have presented to hospital with heart inflammation following mRNA vaccination, and it skews heavily towards young people.

As of Aug. 7, there were 106 incidents of myocarditis/pericarditis in Ontarians under the age of 25. That’s slightly more than half of the total of all such incidents.

**

After Dr. Charles Hoffe went public with his experiences in early April of multiple First Nations patients in his village of Lytton who suffered from severe and unique Bell’s Palsy and other neurological adverse effects after receiving the Moderna vaccine, Hoffe was disciplined by BC’s Interior Health Authority only a few weeks later.

**

Following the spread of the Delta variant over the summer, Israel has seen cases climb, reaching an all-time high of 11,316 daily cases on Sept. 2. The number of people falling seriously sick and being hospitalized, though, has risen less than it did during the last coronavirus wave, peaking at 751 in late August, compared with 1,183 in mid-January. The trend is now downward.

Infections jumped because of the prevalence of cases among the unvaccinated, especially children. There were also so-called breakthrough infections in those who have been vaccinated, and the drop in efficacy of vaccines.

 

(Sidebar: how do vaccinated people get ill from unvaccinated people? This would mean the so-called vaccines do not work.)

 

Considering these side-effects and the limited time these shots were produced it is no wonder that many people, themselves vaccinated with proven vaccines, refuse to take the shots now. Why risk possible injury for a shot that wears off?


Are doctors addressing these concerns?

Not Justin, but what about the appointed experts?:

Federal scientists refused to speak with Canada’s doctors on pandemic planning “in light of the election,” says the Canadian Medical Association Journal. The chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, said she could not discuss the incident: “We are trying to help.” 
**

Dr. Tam then held her first public briefing on the pandemic since prior to the election call on Sept. 3 — warning that Canada could see as many as 15,000 daily COVID-19 cases by the end of the month, overwhelming hospitals and ICUs, unless vaccination rates increased significantly and more stringent public health measures were implemented.

This despite the fact the Trudeau government has been boasting for months that Canada is leading in the world in the percentage of its population vaccinated.

While this was going on, Terry Murray noted in his CMAJ article, he was told by a spokesperson for PHAC and Health Canada on Aug. 25 that Tam wasn’t doing interviews and to “check back after Thanksgiving.”

He also couldn’t get an interview with Dr. Shelley Deeks, chair of the National Advisory Committee on Immunization — technically, an independent scientific advisory group — which he’d been asking for since July regarding COVID-19 booster shots and vaccinations for young children, among other issues. ...

Back in March, federal auditor general Karen Hogan issued a highly critical report on PHAC’s performance during the pandemic saying it, “was not adequately prepared to respond to a pandemic, and it did not address long-standing health information surveillance issues prior to the pandemic.”

 

And how: 

Nursing home operators pleaded with federal agencies to ship Covid masks within days of the pandemic’s outbreak, according to internal emails. Minister of Seniors Deb Schulte was “upset” cabinet had no help to offer as the Prime Minister’s Office referred calls to the provinces: “Every government has a responsibility to protect Canadians.”

** 

Bureaucratic delays hampered the efforts by the local Montreal health authority to take charge of the troubled Herron nursing home after it was deserted by its staff during the early days of the pandemic, according to documents and testimonies made public Tuesday.

The new information was presented at coroner Géhane Kamel’s inquest into the death toll in Quebec nursing homes during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The inquest is looking this month at 47 deaths at Résidence Herron, a long-term care home in Montreal’s West Island.

The ghastly conditions at Herron, where employees left their posts and dying residents were found lying in their wastes, first brought public attention to the catastrophic impact of the pandemic on elder care homes.


The same system that insists that people "trust the science" and the authorities has proven that not only was it unprepared, it was decidedly ineffective during a crisis.

How does that meet the standards of adequate medical care listed in the Nuremburg Code?


I know that CTV News is doing its utmost to characterise the skeptical (as Justin does) as backward people without the facts but if anyone can find the Nuremburg Code, read it and apply it to what is clearly happening in Canada, then the article above not only doesn't meet the fanciful journalistic standards most imagine, it's outright propaganda.

 

Also:

A group of Canadian university professors have banded together and submitted open letters to the presidents of Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo, urging the administrations to repeal their vaccine mandates.

The letters express “deep concerns with the present COVID-19 vaccination and testing policies at (the) universities.” 

One of the letters, sent Aug. 26, was signed by 32 parents, professors, students and staff, while the other, sent Sept. 1, was signed by three Wilfrid Laurier professors and one professor from the University of Waterloo.

In the latter letter, professors Daniel Smilek, David Haskell, William McNally and Nikolai Kovalec lay out five key with the mandates: discrimination, rights violations, lack of scientific evidence, coercion and informed consent.

 

 

No, Justin isn't a victim and his waning handful of supporters were happy to spit venom at people they didn't like so lets dispense with the "high road" and "Canadians just don't do that" and "is this America?" for the benefit of a cretin who wore blackface three times and has a history of mistreating women. Leftists are happy to create an environment of derision when it suits them but cry when frustrated people raise their voices:

Police in London, Ont., are investigating after protesters threw gravel and small rocks at Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau as well as accompanying journalists during a campaign event on Monday.

 

Pebbles? Really?

Well, about that

Thursday, Sept. 2, 2021: A man cracked an egg on Maxime Bernier’s head after asking for a photo with the leader of the People’s Party of Canada.

June 15, 2013: A cup of juice is thrown in then-Toronto mayor Rob Ford’s face at the city’s Taste of Little Italy festival. ...


(Sidebar: but these guys were on the wrong side of the political fence, so ...)

Aug. 20, 1982: A crowd of hundreds threw rocks, eggs and tomatoes at the vacation train that prime minister Pierre Trudeau and his family were riding in, resulting in one window being smashed. The train had already been pelted by food in Alberta and Manitoba after the prime minister had given the middle finger to protesters in Salmon Arm, B.C.

 

They didn't like dear, old dad, either.

As Justin would say, this is "understandable". 

 

Also - the contempt he has for the non-French population is quite evident

There are nine other provinces and also three territories, none of which is a nation, all of which are officially bilingual, and which hold only about 30 million of Canada’s 38.1 million people.

For this clutter of secondary provinces and outlying territories, there is one debate. One.

The people who set up these debates are under the illusion that Canada is a very small country and every place outside Quebec is a carbon copy of every other place. Hence, their careful rationing of debates.

However, everybody else in Canada knows the truth is the opposite. Canada is very large, regions and provinces wildly different from each other, and all parts of Canada have their own issues of national importance.

Which more than suggests that those who seek to govern us might want to visit a few places outside the TV studios of Montreal or Ottawa in which to discuss national issues. A leaders’ debate held in Alberta for example, and on Alberta’s issues? With journalists or citizens from Alberta forming the panel of questioners? You know, people who live there.

I know this is unthinkable from any current journalistic view, and pure heresy for Ottawa politicians. However, a debate on pipelines and the carbon tax in the province that carries the weight of both issues would be a most enlightening exercise.

Is it possible that a large Canadian audience would tune into debates featuring any other than the usual cluster of tired and over-exposed news anchors from central Canada asking questions about Western interests? Possible. It’s guaranteed.



Except that the Liberals already promised to tax home sales:

Any re-elected Liberal cabinet will never tax Canadians’ home equity, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau yesterday told reporters. Trudeau said he recognized ownership represented lifetime savings by homeowners to finance their retirement: “We want to protect people who have equity in their house.”

 

 

Another waste of money

The Department of Public Works in internal emails acknowledged a mistake in shipping $655,501 worth of Covid shelters to a Manitoba hamlet that never asked for them, but said the community “can keep the tents.” Public Works Minister Anita Anand had said she was shocked to learn of a contractor’s conflict of interest in the case: “How is it your office was not aware?”

 

 

What an iron-clad position!:

New Democrats will “do whatever it takes” on climate change, leader Jagmeet Singh yesterday told reporters. Singh would not comment when asked if the Party supported an increase in the federal carbon tax beyond cabinet’s current target of a 40¢ per litre charge on gasoline: ““I really want to be clear on this.”

 

Do they want to fail?:

The Green Party is promising to boost greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, cancel all new pipelines and oil exploration, accelerate an increase in carbon pricing and ban the sale of all internal-combustion engine passenger vehicles.

 

 

An open market? Why, that's not "Canadian"!:

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole is promising to allow international telecommunications companies into Canada in hopes of lowering people’s cellphone and internet bills.

He says Canadians are paying high prices for these services, and the reason is because of a lack of competition.


 

I'm sure the institution too big to fail will not be overwhelmed by this complete lack of planning:

Nursing schools across the country are seeing a surge in applications, but many students are being turned away because postsecondary institutions don’t have the funding for the extra spots.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exhausted nurses and many are getting out of the field. Experts at nursing schools and hospitals say the country faces an urgent shortage just as some of those wanting to get into the profession are being shut out.

 

 

Banning books. That's the Canadian way!:

The popular novel Lord of the Flies by English novelist William Golding has been removed from the English curriculum of all Ottawa-Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) schools. 

According to a report by the OCDSB’s Committee on Equity, the book was removed from the curriculum following an article written by a student activist in a local paper on how educators need to “stop favouring white authors” like Golding and the playwright William Shakespeare.


How dare students read something good?!

**

A book burning held by an Ontario francophone school board as an act of reconciliation with Indigenous people has received sharp condemnation from Canadian political leaders and the board itself now says it regrets its symbolic gesture.

The “flame purification” ceremony, first reported by Radio Canada, was held in 2019 by the Conseil scolaire catholique Providence, which oversees elementary and secondary schools in southwestern Ontario. Some 30 books, the national broadcaster reported, were burned for “educational purposes” and then the ashes were used as fertilizer to plant a tree.

“We bury the ashes of racism, discrimination and stereotypes in the hope that we will grow up in an inclusive country where all can live in prosperity and security,” says a video prepared for students about the book burning, Radio Canada reported.

 

No, your being a poseur proves how utterly soulless and intellectually empty you are.

It's as bad as any thought or media-banning law could every be.



Why does this sound familiar?:

The southern Indian state of Kerala is quickly ramping up efforts to stop a potential outbreak of the deadly Nipah virus, even as the state continues to battle the highest number of coronavirus cases in the country. ...

Nipah, which was first identified during a late 1990s outbreak in Malaysia, can be spread by fruit bats, pigs and through human-to-human contact. There is no vaccine for the virus, which can cause raging fevers, convulsions and vomiting. The only treatment is supportive care to control complications and keep patients comfortable.

The virus has an estimated fatality rate of between 40% and 75%, according to the WHO, making it far more deadly than the coronavirus.

 

 

We don't have to trade with China:

Hong Kong police on Wednesday arrested the vice-chairwoman of a pro-democracy group that organises the annual June 4 rally to commemorate those who died in the bloody 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, in the latest blow to the opposition movement.

Activist and barrister Chow Hang Tung of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China was arrested along with three others, the group said.

Chow's arrest came hours before she was due to represent detained opposition politician Gwyneth Ho, who is charged with conspiracy to commit subversion under a Beijing-imposed national security law, at a bail hearing.

“I want to tell Hong Kongers that we need to continue to resist, don’t surrender to the unreasonable power quickly and easily," Chow told media on Tuesday when she went to police headquarters to tell officers she would not provide information they had requested.
