Lockdowns “Massive Epidemic Of Stupidity”– Yale School Of Medicine
Harvey Risch, professor of epidemiology at the Yale School of medicine, calls pandemic lockdowns “counterproductive.” Risch stated that Covid lockdowns in Canada qualify as no less than a “massive epidemic of stupidity.”
Professor Risch contends that huge pharmaceutical companies have “controlled the narrative” — at universities and in medical journals — for their own interests.
Special Panel: Canada’s Experts Weigh In on the Response to China and Relationship With the US
What is Canada’s role as a democratic nation alongside the United States? In the recent hostage exchange involving two Canadians and Huawei’s CFO, how have Canadians and Americans learned about China’s ruthless aggression? Plus, as Beijing aims to kick off the Winter Olympics next year, how can free democratic nations respond? Meanwhile, the unspoken border drug crisis continues, with fentanyl leaking into the United States through the northern border. With all these issues, we asked experts about how the Chinese regime is attacking the world, and making Canada a victim along with the United States.

Graham: ‘Help’ indeed – NPR tunes in to the Beatles and finds racism
NPR music critic Ann Powers uncorked a long, unforgiving treatise on how it doesn’t matter that the Beatles were progressive and loved Black music because they were still somehow part of making rock music white and exclusionary: “Rock’s defining narrative still stands alongside others that reflect the historic segregation of Anglo-American social spheres.”
CDC Changes Rules, Shortens Quarantine for Vaxxed and Unvaxxed, Cancels Any Self Quarantine for Boosted Group Even When Positive Test for Virus
First, the CDC is now saying the quarantine time for anyone vaccinated or unvaccinated and testing positive for COVID-19 is now changed from ten days to five days. If you test positive for COVID-19, Omicron or any variant therein, you only need to be quarantined for 5 days.
Secondly, the CDC is now saying anyone who has been vaccinated and “boosted” who tests positive, does not need to quarantine at all. “Individuals who have received their booster shot do not need to quarantine following an exposure, but should wear a mask for 10 days after the exposure.”
Big: Yes, infection by Omicron does provide (some) immunity from Delta, says new study
Last week I wrote about one of the central mysteries of the Omicron wave. It seems certain at this point that infection by the new variant produces much milder illness than Delta, which is nice but doesn’t matter much unless it also confers immunity from Delta. Some scientists worry that the two strains are sufficiently distinct that catching one doesn’t prime your immune system to neutralize the other. That could mean a “twindemic” of Delta and Omicron, in which the latter blazes across America, disappears, and then the former starts spreading again. Including among people who had Omicron.
The best-case scenario, the one in which Omicron is actually a blessing in disguise, is if it’s way milder and generates cross-immunity to Delta. Not all COVID variants do.
But according to researchers in South Africa, this one does. To some degree, at least.
