The headline read: “Unvaccinated people 8 times more likely to get infected, top doctor says“

Well this I have to see for myself, I thought.

It took me a while of reading through the parts in which government is moving the reporting goalposts before I got to get some sense of where this information came from. I’m assuming it’s from a recently published Public Health Ontario report:

In the past 30 days, unvaccinated individuals were approximately 8.0 times more likely to become a case of COVID-19 compared to fully vaccinated individuals (Figure 2).

My next question was, how do they classify “unvaccinated individuals”?

From the same document, near the end:

Unvaccinated individual refers to individuals that have not received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, as well as individuals that are not yet protected from vaccination (0 to 13 days following dose 1 administration).

So you’re “unvaccinated” if you’ve either received no vaccine or you’ve received your first one within the past two weeks. An unspecified number of these people will automatically be moving into the “partially vaccinated” category so maybe let’s not get too excited just yet.

Also note that if you combine the number of partially (16,800 [44.9%]) and fully vaccinated or “breakthrough” (1,988 [5.3%]) cases, you get a slightly higher percentage (50.2%) than unvaccinated cases (49.8%), keeping in mind that “unvaccinated” is interchangeable with “got the vaccine recently” and “didn’t get the vaccine at all”.

The headline could just as accurately have read, “Vaccinated people make up more than half of serious Covid infections”, but the newspapers are all in high gear with incessant DEMANDS FOR COVID PASSPORTS, DAMMIT!!

Putting the logical breaks on all of this obvious straight-outta-Berlin authoritarian bullshit is the simple, recent revelation that the vaccinated are just as likely to transmit COVID as the unvaccinated. Note:

The study identified 469 people with COVID-19, 74% of whom were fully vaccinated, following large public events in the state’s Barnstable County. Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of virus specimens from 133 people.

The viral load was similar in people who were fully vaccinated and those who were unvaccinated, the CDC said.

High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus, it said.

The finding of the report “is concerning and was a pivotal discovery leading to CDC’s updated mask recommendation,” CDC director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement.

The phenomenon, known as a “leaky vaccine”, is when the fully vaccinated immune system fails to kill the pathogen, allowing it to be re-transmitted. This is why the Center for Disease Control revised their advice on masks, yet again.

So what we end up with is a bunch of vaccinated people who, despite their ostensibly benevolent aims, really end up protecting not society, not the public, not grandma and grandpa, not little baby Kevin, not sick aunt Josie … no one but themselves.

But now, with their elevated social status among “the fully vaccinated”, they may feel more free to socialize and be indoors with all the others like them, all very possibly entirely asymptomatic spreaders. If the high viral load of the Delta variant is a concern, isn’t the “unlikely” scenario of viral mutations, or replication errors, more likely when the numbers are increased?

Seems to me that it’s actually the vaccinated that pose the biggest threat to society, if the science and their incessant preachiness are to be believed. It’s unfortunate that they have so many irresponsible, highly-placed enablers willing to endanger the public and whose best solutions to the mutation-vaccine war is like something out of the Simpsons. In one episode an invasive species of lizard has escaped into Springfield. Initially wanting to eradicate the lizards, Principal Skinner learns that they’re killing all of the pigeons, or “common gutter birds”, which causes him to re-evaluate his position.

Skinner: “Well I was wrong. The Bolivian Tree Lizards are a godsend!”

Lisa: “But isn’t that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we’re overrun with lizards?”

Skinner: “No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese Needle Snakes. They’ll wipe out the lizards.”

Lisa: “But aren’t the snakes even worse?”

Skinner: “Yes but we’re prepared for that. We’ve lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.”

Lisa: “But then we’re stuck with gorillas!”

Skinner: “No, that’s the beautiful part. When winter time rolls around the gorillas simply freeze to death.” (walks away satisfied)

“Bart the Mother”, The Simpsons, Season 10, Episode 3

We’re now well beyond stage 3 in the provincial re-opening plans with no end in sight, “leaders” around the worlds are openly acting like tyrants and dictators segregating societies into the obedient and those who must be made to obey, and apparently after a year and a half of getting fucked over businesses everywhere are gagging for the opportunity to limit their numbers of customers in order to go along with this.

It’s mind boggling to think that there are still people who believe and even promote the dangerous claptrap of government & friends at this point. The mountain of horseshit is now so high that one would have to be dangerously delusional, a literal danger to themselves and society at large, not to see it toppling over. On the bright side, there’s probably a Pfizer or J&J drug for that!

We got to experience the wonders of MetCap and the assorted shell companies they use to hide their ongoing misdeeds but our building never took the opportunity to organize or stand up against them like the people of Parkdale did.

How about a musical interlude?

I loved this tune when it first came out; still love it today. And one guess as to where the video was shot.

Here are some basic facts:

1. COVID vaccine safety and efficacy is not tested by the government. The data is based solely on the vaccine producers’ own testing and given to the government’s “panel of experts” who simply review it. This is quite literally the honour system (see below) and vaccine approval in this case doesn’t mean rigorous testing.
2. The approval process for COVID vaccines has been fast-tracked, skipping various safety protocols (or maybe they exist just for the heck of it?). The “science” is not established and the government regularly updates its information as it’s uncovered.
3. COVID vaccine producer Pfizer was fined $2.9 billion for fraud, described as “blatant and continued disregard of the law … over an extended period of time”, one of numerous fines that the company has paid over the years for engaging in lies and deception. Their history of criminal recklessness in the name of profit (e.g. testing unapproved antibiotics on Nigerian children resulting in numerous deaths), goes back decades.
4. COVID vaccine producer Johnson & Johnson most recently settled a $26 billion lawsuit for downplaying risks of opioids (fraud), and helping to fuel the current North American opioid crisis. J&J has hundreds of thousands of pending litigation and has paid out billions in damages in additional lawsuits, many of them for fraud and misrepresentation.
5. COVID vaccine producer AstraZeneca settled tens of thousands of lawsuits for withholding drug safety information and misleading marketing.
6. COVID vaccine producer Moderna is known for its secrecy and lack of peer review, and for operating primarily for profit.
7. The Canadian government is supposed to require informed consent before drug and vaccine testing can take place in humans. Since, as the government affirms they were never completed, extended clinical trials of COVID vaccines are currently being performed on the mass Canadian public without any such consent.
8. Since they are relatively new, there is understandably no data on the long-term negative effects of any of the current COVID vaccines, thus making claims of “safety” dubious at best. Considering that new and unforeseen side-effects are being discovered on a regular basis it’s not unreasonable to assume that additional long-term effects will be observed. Additionally, efficacy data is subject to different interpretations, especially in the context of incomplete or incompatible data. As such, neither the safety nor efficacy of existing COVID vaccines is established, and based on current trends both parameters appear to be shifting negatively or are at least being called into question.
9. Vaccine makers have been shielded from any legal liability by the federal government over the COVID vaccines. The government has stringent filters on who is eligible for compensation and ultimately it will be taxpayers who will pay for any mistakes or malfeasance on the part of manufacturers. The government says that this is “normal”. In May of this year, despite numerous adverse vaccine reactions to COVID vaccines and 6 months after the initial announcement, the government had yet to consider any claims, stating only that they would be handled by a “third party”. That third party ended up being Ottawa-based RCGT Consulting, an accounting and tax firm.

Putting all of this together: the Canadian government, itself laying claim to a long history of ostensible “genocide” and other reprehensible behaviour, has granted legal immunity to companies that have engaged in mass fraud and deception resulting in death and injury, instead holding the public liable for any fraud or malfeasance, while trusting those same companies to provide the medical community and the public with information on safety and efficacy, information that is being shown to be increasingly “inaccurate” (to put it nicely).

Claims that this is being done for public health conflict strikingly with the government’s refusal to ban cigarettes which kill an estimated 48,000 people each year, often after long bouts in the hospital on respirators and other medical equipment, similar to COVID patients, of whom approximately 26,500 have died since the start of the pandemic a year and a half ago. The excuse of “protecting others” is shown to be a farce when compared to exposure from secondhand smoke, alone affecting roughly the same number of people as died from COVID. And the idea that big tobacco is so deeply entrenched in the system that it can’t be removed is both silly considering that the government pretty much shut down the whole economy, and yet more evidence that COVID measures have little to do with science or “protecting the public”. If rapacious big tobacco has such a hold on government, why wouldn’t big pharma with their history of greed, lies and death? As a result, why should government itself be trusted?

If it’s my choice to engage in a behaviour like smoking and expose those around me to that risk, one that results in a much higher and prolonged mortality than COVID, then the whole argument against my choice not to be vaccinated falls apart.

Even so, it’s not that I’m necessarily against vaccines but it seems quite obvious that putting trust in such a system and what it’s peddling is delusional bordering on dangerously insane. That vaccines are now increasingly being mandated and forced onto people worldwide puts a whole new and very sinister spin on things.

I recall some people mentioning that it was paranoid to suggest that the COVID excuse was going to be extended indefinitely (variants!) and used as an excuse by the state to impose overt, totalitarian, tyrannical control over the population. To be honest, it seemed a bit alarmist to me too, although there were some warning signs. Well, things have progressed.

So you want the good news or the bad news first?

The good news is that there is no longer any doubt about this, it’s 100% in effect right now. The bad news is that people are too busy packing patios and parks after a year and a half of mental house arrest (all that’s missing is the tracking anklet), and although some local news – which fail to explain how exactly governments have been “handed” all these powers – is predictably pointing fingers abroad to demonstrate growing state authoritarianism, no one here really seems to give a shit. As long as you can have a beer outdoors once in a while, I guess, it’s no longer a terrifying dystopian nightmare of absolute government control and tyranny.

And of course, Canadian mainstream media is simply the propaganda arm of the state (note how all the big networks report exactly the same stories, often verbatim, in order to push a “progressive” narrative while completely ignoring others), so they won’t be doing anything but pushing ever more tyranny.

Without barely a whimper, the “Declaration of Emergency” (O.Reg 264/21) for the province of Ontario was revoked in early June. Cool … no more emergency! Now all that’s left is the bold and progressive “Reopening Ontario” Act — nearly a year old, so obviously not part of a long-term scheme at all. Obviously.

Oh, wait, what’s that right at the top of the Act?

2 (1) The orders made under section 7.0.2 or 7.1 of the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act that have not been revoked as of the day this subsection comes into force are continued as valid and effective orders under this Act and cease to be orders under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act.

Reopening Ontario (A Flexible Response to COVID-19) Act, 2020, S.O. 2020, c. 17

In case you missed that, it means that although it’s no longer an emergency, Doug Ford keeps his “emergency” (i.e. literally dictatorial), powers at least until the end of the the year. Of course, that might “need” to be extended longer (“Flexible”), but just until Ontario is “rebuilt”.

But hey, don’t worry about it. It’s not like Doug is using some sort of martial law to force-close businesses while lining his buddies’ pockets like a banana republic generalisimo, or thinking of imposing curfews like some East German Stasi schmuck, or arbitrarily fucking around with elections like some crazed autocrat, or waving entire sections of the law aside with his hand like some common dictator. Obviously not.

Unfortunately, this is just the tip of a very large and very ugly iceberg of what appears to be a, so far successful, attempt at an authoritarian one-world government. I’m not the only one to point out this trend but what seems to regularly get missed in the analysis is both that it’s happening right here at home and the level of international coordination, not to mention kow-towing deference, that’s being shown to global health “authorities” who simultaneously bemoan the devastation of COVID while encouraging people from all over the world to come together in maskless groups of heavy-breathers in order to “inspire” (just don’t do what they’re doing!), without even a hint of a suggestion of irony or that it’s actually the people who are supposed to be in charge in our so-called “democracy”. I’ve pointed out how Canada is in no way a democracy and never has been, representative or otherwise, neither by definition nor by deed, but now the state has dispensed with the need to crassly lie to people about it.

To paraphrase Ford: it’s open dictatorship, folks!

I was initially planning to write one huge post to cover the very overt, very public scam being perpetrated on the population of the world in the name of health and safety but it would go on for days so the next few posts I’m going to be covering this very obvious takeover by this woke new form of tyrannical totalitarianism. I’ll point out the glaring gap in science, evidence, and increasingly simple common sense that we’re all being forced to swallow in the name of “keeping everyone safe”.

To the haters of skepticism and critical inquiry there is nothing that exceeds the God-like wisdom and superiority of our benign, loving government and their throngs of “experts”. I’m sure I’ll be called an anti-vaxxer for having the audacity to even think about questioning the COVID vaccines now increasingly being forced onto people around the world using what in any other circumstances would be considered vile state-sponsored hate speech (can violence be far behind?). I’m sure I’ll be labelled a conspiracy theorist for pointing directly to government websites, proud pronouncements by public officials, and undisputed widespread events as evidence to back my claims. I’m sure I’ll be described as crazy for suggesting that we can see what’s happening around us every day instead of being told what reality is by the state.

Deniers of reality will continue to watch people like Trudeau elbow bump instead of shaking hands because, obviously, preventing an air-borne virus is done most effectively not by keeping as far away from others as possible (e.g. shaking hands if absolutely necessary), but by getting up nice and close. Probably this is the same reason why unmasked, unvaccinated children were encouraged to go back to school to mingle — it’s risky for masked adults to get closer than two meters but having often asymptomatic kids within a few feet of those same adults makes perfect sense. Logic! Science!

But hey, don’t worry; it’s for your own good.

Recently, Emily Viegas, a 13-year-old Brampton girl died of Covid. I’m sure you can find more information than I’ve included but here’s a link just in case.

Basically, the story is that the vaccinated father (an essential worker, as if that was somehow relevant), was staying home with the girl to take care of her as both the mother and her brother had also come down with Covid. Seems the dad didn’t want to take Emily to the hospital because he didn’t want to overburden the healthcare system, something the media have been screaming about lately.

In many ways, this would’ve been just another sad story of a Covid victim except certain reprehensible fucks just couldn’t even keep their political agendas in their pants long enough to let Emily’s body grow cold before pushing them; sick assholes like Andrew Boozary, so-called “Doctor”, who proudly advertises that the doctor’s primary task is to be political (not saving lives or reducing suffering), and who was immediately on television when Emily died — the same television warning of hospitals being “on the brink”, a warning that Emily’s father clearly took to heart — while doing his best “human sadness” impression in order to push through his agenda of provincial paid sick days. Oh yeah, and systemic racism … of course.

Because sick days would’ve prevented Emily’s death how, exactly? Maybe by allowing the father to stay home to take care of her? Oh wait … he did. Maybe the mother could’ve stayed at home? Oh wait … she was in the hospital with Covid. Well, obviously the solution is sick days legislation. Logic! Science!

Naturally, Doug Ford caved and now Emily’s father can rest easy knowing that nothing would be different today had this legislation been passed earlier.

I personally don’t have a horse in the sick days race but it’s obvious that Emily’s death was immediately, coldly, disgustingly scooped up by people like Boozary (not the only one, I should mention), in order to push through a political agenda that had absolutely nothing to do with her death.

The fact that people like Boozary are idolized and applauded for their inhuman callousness is a stark reflection of the horrible dregs of humanity that have been slavishly published and worshipped since the start of Covid. People like Boozary are sociopathic monsters, pushing politics and hateful ignorant racism based on abject lies (many examples here on TCL), supported by media networks that are in many ways directly responsible for Emily’s death by frightening her father into avoiding the hospital (of course Boozary made no mention of this obvious fact). And they’re working hand in hand to keep you “informed”.

Why don’t people trust the media, politicians, and increasingly the medical community? Big mystery.

I got a feeling of recent-post-apocalyptic desertion here (the picture was taken late last week), greatly enhanced by the wall of kids’ mugshots in the back.
