Thanks DL - Great information about Japan. It is unfortunate that our health-care system is not as compassionate as the Japanese model for Covid, mandates, and lockdowns.
I agree. Every person regardless of their education who supports this totalitarian Canadian approach is deluded, disturbed, and deranged. They have no clue so they do what their fear response tells them to!

Again another secret from our liberal government. This circus is so insane. First get vexed - herd immunity then OMG these vaccines are creating variants, we need to follow the science and wear masks that don't work. Stay 6 ft. from any other person, isolate if you have a runny nose. Lock down the Territory under the emergency measures act. Build safe injection sites for junkies but mandate our healthcare workers and government employees to get a experimental vaccine because the science says so. Well the science doesn't seem to support any of the stories being told but everyone is buying it.
Triple vaccinated getting sick but not ending up in the hospital or dying which by the way is another lie. This 17x more likely crap is just that crap. These numbers are pulled from a horses ass and fed to sheep. The whole Territory could get vaccinated but guess what - you're still going to get sick. You're still going to die if it's your time and science has no say in the matter. The day science knows more than God and we start believing that, we are doomed as a society.
Don't go to church and enforce or promote vaccine because the one thing God guaranteed every human being is freedom to choose. To threaten people of losing their jobs, freedom to travel is not governing, it's dictatorship. Anyone believing anything else no matter your education is dumber than I thought. Enjoy the vaccine and its side effects and enjoy creating new variants with your vaccine and enabling this incompetent government to continue their nonsense. I'm going to continue to enjoy my freedoms.

If we'd not been testing people forcefully, or mandating them for public use, we'd never had a pandemic because people wouldn't test themselves for flu symptoms. The basis of this sham is the test and the so called number of positives.
The fear this government and certain health professionals that continue to push this false narrative is what is dividing us and has become synonymous with virtue to those who are paralyzed by it. Those living in fear believe they are superior to those who are not. In turn, they are always looking to multiply and create more fear in order to continue feeling virtuous, fact is they are not virtuous at all, they are just afraid.
Humans cannot "control or manage" the actions of a microorganism. Germs are a part of us not against us.
Our best protection is not a Vaccine!
Eat right, drink lots of fresh water, exercise, get sunlight and make healthy lifestyle choices, big pharma, government, and most MDs are not going to offer good or lasting solutions. U take care of others by taking care of yourself, not by a vaccine, health is not found in a syringe. Most that suffer severe illness or death from this flu are obese and have many co-morbidities. I send my sympathy to anyone who has lost a loved one in this madness, and have no doubt some would still be with us had our government and health officials reacted differently instead of using lockdowns and mandates which are known to do more harm than good. This is ultimately a pandemic of the unhealthy, but our government and health officials are scapegoating unvaccinated to cover up their own failings.
Canada is heading down a dark road with Quebec announcing tax for unvaccinated Canadians, and our Prime minister's speech on national television. As Canadians we need to recognize that we are not under attack by a virus, but by our own Institutions.

We need to bombard star reporters, Mr Silver, Mrs Elliot and demand we get these simple answers! Do you know why they aren't releasing them? It's simple, just like the rest of the country where 80+% who test positive are double or triple vaxed.. and the numbers go against their globalist agenda.. funny how it's only Western Nations who are so caught up in Covid, rest of the world is living with it.

“Japan bans covid vax mandates and discrimination based on status, puts heart warning on label”
Quote: “Japan is now labeling Covid “vaccines” to warn of dangerous and potentially deadly side effects such as myocarditis. In addition, the country is reaffirming its commitment to adverse event reporting requirements to ensure all possible side effects are documented. Japan is emphasizing informed consent and bodily autonomy. Until the coronavirus pandemic, the concept of “informed consent” was considered sacred to healthcare professionals in the West.”

We can already tease out what the hospitalization and death details are. They're no different than anywhere else in the world. That is to say, most/all 15 deaths had outstanding health issues and/or were very old. The last 4 or 5 were all fully vaccinated/boosted, confirmed by omission.

People are real tired of misleading information, untrue information, conflicting information. The passive resistance has increased since the Liberals decided to hang the unvaxxed out to dry. In the face of information indicating that the spread is being caused by people who are fully faxxed, people dying that are fully faxxed, the Government has kept trying to place the blame for the spread on the unvaxxed, and think they can escape the blame for their own ineptitude and incompetence by blaming unvaxxed. Well, they can't. So many people are getting on with their lives that the lockdown is just a word. I was downtown today, everyone had a mask on. Most had it under their chin. Me too.
Covid is wearing out its fear value, but this sitting government is notorious for beating the dead horse. Instead of letting this go, I'm betting that the government will find something else to reactivate the fear factor and try to maintain control. Control freaks. The monsters under the bed? Got out. They are in Ottawa, destroying justice, bringing the country into a depression, increasing suicide, street people, drugs, deliberately increasing the numbers of people requiring mental health services. They have turned us into a substate of China.
I am rambling a bit tonight, but I think everyone has to consider that Canada's problems are much much bigger than covid. And covid has been used as a diversion. Maybe the Conservatives are just as bad. The NDP..well..in the end, Kate was NDP. Silver? Elliot? the rest of the Liberal cartels and Liberal groupies, don't ever want to be held accountable for anything. They commit the crime.. we go to jail. At this minute, every man woman and child in Canada, who co signed for the Liberal gov to go to the bank and order up money, print money.. well our share of that debt is 29,000K. If you have a family of 4.. you owe $120,000. and going up daily.

Well Josey, you are partially right but mostly wrong on Jan 11, 2022 at 3:46 pm
The rapid test kids have been used in the smaller communities, whenever there's been a spike in cases. It just so happens that in some of the smaller communities, First Nations people make up a percentage of the population. But vaccines and tests were available to everyone there, so stop trying to racialize this. The test kits were also used for airline staff, education staff, health care staff - pretty much anyone deemed 'essential'. Why rant about something that's not even accurate?

Hmmm “Hospitalizations “ it's seen nowadays as a red herring as admitted by Dr. Bonnie Henry which up to, and probably more, 50% of all Covid hospitalizations are simply not so, they are an “after the fact”. Seems when hospitals tick the Covid box it kicks into the fed coffers hence the loosely coined terminology of hospitalizations.

Well seems they were doled out to the natives many months back, and they have been using them. I guess all the mere regular folks that lost pay, time or even your employment do not matter.

So... how many are in the hospital from this severe virus? Can you also provide data showing exactly how many new cases are vaxxed and non vaxxed? These are simple questions with very simple that should be provided if you have the nerve to call a state of emergency! Rest of the country provides much more detail into this, why can't Elliot?

Let’s not let responsible adults play hockey or many other sports but keep all the schools open! You need to be double vaccinated to go into a recreation facility but not a liquor store or shopping centre? WTF sense does that make! These restrictions are beyond ridiculous. Just quit testing and this new covid variant just becomes a mild cold!
