What gets banned and locked down this time?:
It should not be, theoretically, as bad as our last wave, but there are reasons to say it could be, including the fact that the public has no situational awareness. The public is not hearing cases; they’re not even really seeing it in the news. COVID has largely dropped off the news cycle in many ways.
The reason not to worry is we have a lot of people who have been vaccinated and a lot of people who were already infected with Omicron. By now we’ve probably got, in Ontario at least, somewhere between four to five million people who have been infected with Omicron. That’s a third of the population. We’ve also learned previously, that’s not sufficient to protect us.
Look, I tend to worry almost always with COVID because every time people have suggested we don’t need to worry, that’s been the wrong decision. I think there is a fair amount of potential badness to occur. It may not play out. We just don’t know.
Indeed.
Because panicking and covering up actual facts has worked splendidly so far:
White House chief medical advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said that Chinese officials were “extremely secretive” about the possible origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, though he stopped short of accusing Beijing of deliberately covering it up.

Cabinet conducted pre-election polling on vaccine mandates that found they were most divisive in regions where Liberals held few seats. The confidential polling was finalized only days before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called a snap election, records show: ‘Atlantic Canada indicated unanimous support for requiring proof of vaccination for domestic flights; Alberta and Saskatchewan were unanimous in opposing this idea.’

Of the 807 people testing positive for COVID in Ontario hospitals, 420 of them, or 52%, were admitted for other reasons and tested positive while in hospital.

Just 387 are in hospital due to COVID.
Keep that in mind as some people preach panic. #onpoli https://t.co/PsI6XDWbEk pic.twitter.com/GqE70LdQ5L

“Don’t worry, the 40% increase in mortality is not due to vaccines. It’s due to people not getting proper healthcare, overdoses, suicide, other health issues resulting from the government Covid response”. That’s basically the defense of the claim. pic.twitter.com/WG3qX6hRZF

The World Health Organization has published a report citing extremely rare instances of hearing loss and other auditory issues following injection of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The health agency was notified that tinnitus, a hearing problem that causes ear ringing, may be associated with the vaccines.
(Sidebar: note that when it is reported that XYZ side-effects are extremely rare, read that they happen more often than the authorities care to admit.)

Chinese vaccine developer CanSino Biologics Inc (CanSinoBIO) said on Monday its potential COVID-19 vaccine using the messenger RNA (mRNA) technology has been approved by China‘s medical products regulator to enter clinical trials.
Unlike other major countries, China is yet to approve any foreign-made mRNA vaccines such as that produced by U.S.-German duo Pfizer Inc and BioNTech SE.
Who racing to that particular crap in their arms?

**Finally got the unredacted version of this FoIA’d document. Three months after the release of the vaccine Pfizer had to hire 600 additional full-time employees, with a plan to hire 1800 total, just to process the flood of adverse events reported. pic.twitter.com/5emJ0s9djl

The University of Toronto is revoking its COVID-19 vaccine mandate and other related policies after a human rights complaint was filed against the school.
Effective May 1, the following measures will be paused: the requirement to complete a health screening prior to entering university premises, the requirement to be fully vaccinated for in-person activities on university premises, and the requirement to be masked in indoor spaces unless otherwise required, the university said this week on its website.
The university noted that some or all of these measures could be reinstated on short notice in future “should public health conditions or guidance change.”
The halting of the requirements comes less than a month after a group of staff, students, and faculty filed a Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario Group Application. On Feb. 16, the group wrote to U of T president Meric Slover Gertler warning that those affected by the school’s vaccine mandate—many of whom were placed on a 12-month unpaid leave—would be filing the complaint.
However, the university “announced that it will continue to require proof of vaccination for those attending our campuses until at least the end of the academic term,” the group said in a news release on March 21.

Hurried Covid contracting and outright theft of Public Health Agency supplies cost taxpayers more than $106 million, records show. The Agency said it did its best: “We are moving as quickly as possible to wire transfer money now.”

It's not hard to frighten or divide Canadians.
A new survey suggests Canadians are becoming more divided, with some saying issues have led them to reduce contact with friends or family.
The national phone survey by the Canadian Hub for Applied and Social Research at the University of Saskatchewan was done between March 7 and March 24. It asked 1,011 people about the issues that divide them the most.
About three out of every four respondents said they believe society has become more polarized.
The majority said the COVID-19 pandemic (72 per cent) and the 2021 federal election (73 per cent) were the two most divisive issues over the past year.
A divided people are easy to shove around.
