It Was Never About A Virus

Which should be obvious by now:

A Pfizer board member who used to head the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lobbied Twitter to take action against a post accurately pointing out that natural immunity is superior to COVID-19 vaccination, according to an email released on Jan. 9.
Dr. Scott Gottlieb wrote on Aug. 27, 2021, to Twitter executive Todd O’Boyle to request Twitter take action against a post from Dr. Brett Giroir, another former FDA commissioner.
“This is the kind of stuff that’s corrosive. Here he draws a sweeping conclusion off a single retrospective study in Israel that hasn’t been peer reviewed. But this tweet will end up going viral and driving news coverage,” Gottlieb wrote.
Giroir had written that it was clear natural immunity, or post-infection immunity, “is superior to vaccine immunity, by ALOT.” He said there was no scientific justification to require proof of COVID-19 vaccination if a person had natural immunity. “If no previous infection? Get vaccinated!” he also wrote.
Giroir pointed to what was at the time a preprint study from Israeli researchers that found, after analyzing health records, that natural immunity provided better protection than vaccination. The study was later published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases following peer review.
Researchers said the data “demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity.” BNT162b2 is the trade name for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, which is the main shot used in Israel.
Gottlieb’s email triggered messages on Jira, Twitter’s internal messaging system, according to journalist Alex Berenson, who was granted access to Twitter’s internal files by CEO Elon Musk.
“Please see this report from the former FDA commissioner,” O’Boyle wrote.
A Twitter analyst who reviewed the post determined it did not violate any misinformation rules but Twitter still put a tag on it, claiming to all users who viewed it that it was “misleading” and directing them to a link that would show “why health officials recommend a vaccine for most people.” The tag prevented people from replying to, sharing, or liking Giroir’s post.
Gottlieb later defended his actions, saying he targeted posts that he thought included “false and inflammatory” information. Giroir said “my tweet was accurate then, and it remains so now” and that Twitter never responded to him.

 

More:

By suggesting some people might not need Covid vaccinations, the tweet could raise questions about the shots. Besides being former FDA commissioner, a CNBC contributor, and a prominent voice on Covid public policy, Gottlieb was a senior board member at Pfizer, which depended on mRNA jabs for almost half its $81 billion in sales in 2021. Pfizer paid Gottlieb $365,000 for his work that year.

“Sad to announce that my husband has entered a coma after being in hospital with Covid. The doctor is unsure if he will come out,” they tweeted. “This year has been the toughest of my life losing my sister to this virus. This is the first time in my life I don’t see light at the end of the tunnel.”

Again, the condolences and well-wishes rolled in. But there was a problem: Honeyman wasn’t real. 

The transgender “Doctor of Sociology and Feminist studies” with a “keen interest in poetry” who used they/them pronouns was, in fact, a stock photo described on DepositPhotos, a royalty-free image site, as “Smiling happy, handsome latino man outside—headshot portrait.”

Their supposedly comatose husband, Dr. Patrick C. Honeyman, was also fake. His Twitter photo had been stolen from an insurance professional in Wayne, Indiana.



I'm surprised that the CBC even covered this:

A Gatineau, Que., man who developed a severe skin condition after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine says he's ready to give up on Canada's health-care system and seek treatment abroad.

Mohammed Tisir Otahbachi, 29, received his first dose of the Moderna vaccine on July 15, 2021, at a Walmart pharmacy in Gatineau. Ten days later, small acne-like blisters appeared on his right hand.

Otahbachi, who goes by his middle name, told CBC he had never experienced any kind of skin problem before. He tried a topical cream suggested by a pharmacist, but it didn't work.

While serious complications from COVID-19 vaccines are rare, Otahbachi had a sneaking suspicion his shot might have had something to do with the rash. Nevertheless, he was eager to receive his second dose and returned to the same pharmacy for another Moderna jab on Aug. 13, 2021.

"Two days after that, like 48 hours later, almost the whole of my body — my hands, arms, my legs, even my back — it was [hit with] the same thing, and it started burning a little bit. There was some pain," Otahbachi recalled.

"I recognized there is something happening on my body because of the vaccine."

 

 

Justin is a vile, awful scumbag.

Change my mind:

The Canadian ministry responsible for the environment recently boasted that “real progress” was made in hitting its “climate” targets thanks to the COVID lockdowns harshly imposed on Canadians for well over a year by various levels of government.  

Per Blacklock’s Reporter, Canada’s Department of Environment earlier this week claimed that a recent report showed 2020 emissions went down nine percent because of COVID lockdowns. 

“Canada’s resolve to fight climate change and move towards a clean energy future has only grown stronger,” the department celebrated. 

According to the report, lower emissions came from a downturn in activity in the oil and gas industry, road transportation, as well as air travel. 

“Emissions declined in 2020 as a result of curtailed activity levels and pandemic measures,” noted the report, explaining that as a result of lockdowns jet fuel emissions went down 44 percent, and vehicle emissions dropped 17 percent.

Starting in March 2020, the federal government under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, along with all provincial governments, told Canadians to stay home to “flatten” the curve of COVID.

Weeks of lockdowns turned into months, which then turned into years, and in the end, data indicates the harsh measure likely did nothing to stop the virus from spreading.  

In many jurisdictions of Canada, lockdowns applied not only to so-called “non-essential” businesses, but also to religious institutions such as churches, education centers of all levels of learning, and in Quebec, even included the imposition of a curfew for a time.

During this time, all levels of governments also took part in the promotion of the experimental COVID injections, often under the impression that compliance would allow life to return to normal. 

However, even after the COVID jabs became available, many provinces continued with draconian lockdowns. Moreover, all provinces implemented some form of a COVID vaccine passports, which meant the vaccine-free were shut out from many aspects of society. 

 

 

Canadians lost their jobs and many lost their businesses while the Liberals stacked the electoral deck.

Where is the moral debt to people who killed themselves while Liberals smuggled in new and obedient voters?:

Federal Court judges want government officials to consider the “moral debt” owed to immigrants who worked to help Canadians during COVID peaks when deciding requests to remain in Canada.

 

When will Theresa Tam get sued?:

Governments enjoy broad immunity against civil suits generally, and a 2020 Ontario law barred almost all types of COVID-related legal action specifically. But a judge has ruled the families of nursing-home victims can sue the minister of long-term care, citing the plaintiffs’ contention that the government showed bad faith and an acute degree of negligence.

There is at least some chance those allegations can be proven at trial, concluded Justice Edward Belobaba of the Ontario Superior Court in a ruling last month.

His decision to “certify” the class action means it has crossed a major hurdle against seemingly steep odds. Lawyers will still need to convince a trial judge to find the minister liable for the deaths – or persuade the government to settle out of court.

 

 

It beats being in front of a class all day.

Right, Randi?:

Oh, no! Koreans won't be able to breathe in polluted air or get arrested on the streets!:

Chinese embassies suspended issuing new visas for South Koreans and Japanese on Tuesday in apparent retaliation for COVID-19 testing requirements recently imposed by those countries on travelers from China.

The embassies in Tokyo and Seoul announced the suspensions in brief online notices.

The Seoul notice, posted on the embassy's WeChat social media account, said the ban would continue until South Korea lifts its “discriminatory entry measures” against China. The announcement covered tourist, business and some other visas.
