It Was Never About A Virus

The first debunking of the new year ...

Cases, hospitalizations, and deaths among the boosted have been increasing since the booster shots were first introduced in 2021. The boosters were promoted as bolstering protection against adverse outcomes. But, compared to the vaccinated who have not received any boosters, boosted people are testing positive, being hospitalized, and dying at higher levels in many states, according to the review, which went over data in the first two quarters of 2022.

In California, for instance, the boosted population made up 72 percent of the COVID-19 cases among vaccinated people in June. In Vermont that month, the boosted population made up 90 percent of the COVID-19 deaths among the vaccinated.

The number of boosted people has continued to rise since the extra shots were first cleared in 2021. But in some of the states, one or more metrics among the boosted exceed their population.

In Wisconsin, boosted people made up 43 percent of the cases, 43 percent of the hospitalizations, and 46 percent of the deaths in June—well above the boosted population, which was 35 percent of the state as of late August.

“It is unassailable that a very large fraction of highly inoculated [people] are among those being hospitalized or dying,” Dr. Robert Malone, who helped invent the messenger RNA technology that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines utilize, told The Epoch Times. “So, at a minimum, the effectiveness in preventing hospitalization or death does not appear to be aligned with the official policy position.”

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration have continued to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for virtually all Americans, including multiple boosters, stating that the known and potential benefits outweigh the known and potential risks. New, untested boosters replaced the old ones in the fall, but the primary series is still comprised of the old vaccines.

Oh, look! Pretending to act!:

The federal government will require travellers from China, Hong Kong, and Macao to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test before flying to Canada starting on Jan. 5.

“In response to the surge of COVID-19 in the People’s Republic of China and given the limited epidemiological and viral genomic sequence data available on these cases, the Government of Canada intends to put in place certain temporary health measures for air travellers entering Canada from China,” the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said in a statement on Dec. 31.

With China experiencing a surge in COVID-10 cases, the World Health Organization has been urging the country’s authorities to be more forthcoming with data about the situation, including genetic sequencing data, as well as information on hospitalizations and deaths. Official figures from China on the disease are seen as unreliable.

Canada’s move follows in the footsteps of some other countries, including the United States, UK, and Italy.

Ottawa’s response in the face of skyrocketing cases in China is much different compared to the initial days of the novel coronavirus outbreak in 2020, when Canada refused to impose travel restrictions on China as peer countries were doing so, a move that was praised by Beijing.

Canada’s new testing requirement for travellers from China applies to all passengers age 2 years and older. Prior to boarding a plane to Canada, passengers are required to present a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than two days before the flight. Passengers who tested positive more than 10 days before departing, but no more than 90 days, can instead provide the airline documentation of their prior positive test result.

The requirement applies to all travellers departing from China, Hong Kong, and Macao, regardless of nationality. The measure will be in place for 30 days, and reassessed “as more data and evidence becomes available,” PHAC says.

The health agency says it is also launching a pilot project to test the wastewater of planes at the Vancouver International Airport, and extending an existing project at the Toronto Pearson International Airport, to assess the prevalence of COVID-19 from different parts of the world. The samples will be analyzed to monitor developments of any new variants of concern.

When will Justin ban flights from China?

Anyone?
