DeSantis Comes to the Rescue for Doctor Who Was Suspended Over Biden’s Vax Mandate: He’s Reinstated, ‘Freedom Has A Home Here In Florida’
The coronavirus pandemic has apparently become so deadly that the nation can afford to fire doctors and nurses.
One doctor in Florida was suspended from his job due to Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate, Governor Ron DeSantis explained.
Biden is forcing health care workers to receive the drug injected into their arms or else they could lose employment. The mandate fails to provide exemptions for legitimate health concerns or religious reasons.
‘We’re a careful country’: Freeland contrasts Omicron responses of Canada, U.S.
Speaking to reporters about Ottawa’s response to the recent surge of Omicron cases, Freeland was asked to explain why the White House is reassuring Americans that holiday gatherings are safe if vaccinated, and that the variant is not a cause for panic, while the Canadian government is urging people to stay home and reduce contacts.
US Army Creating Vaccine That Fights All COVID And SARS Variants
Scientists at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research are expected to announce that they’ve created a vaccine that will be effective against all COVID-19 and SARS variants, including Omicron, in the coming weeks, Defense One reported.
Fox News Responds After Fauci Calls for Host to Be Fired: ‘Twisted Completely Out of Context’
“Based on watching the full clip and reading the entire transcript, it’s more than clear that Jesse Watters was using a metaphor for asking hard-hitting questions to Dr. Fauci about gain-of-function research and his words have been twisted completely out of context,” a Fox representative said, according to CNN.
The Left would sacrifice the unvaccinated
What happened to the principle that everyone deserves healthcare?
An underdiscussed element of the Covid pandemic is the cost of the virus — not in American lives, but in American dollars. In the United States, a Covid hospitalisation costs $29,000 on average; if you’re sick enough to require an ICU stay and a ventilator, that average soars to $156,000. And in a country without universal healthcare, with a piecemeal system of private insurance that ties insurance coverage to employment, and amid a pandemic that has left many unemployed, an enormous number of Americans stand to find themselves underwater. There’s a looming crisis of Covid medical debt.
Tuskegee Tony – Why the “real Anthony Fauci” must be held accountable.
On Christmas Eve Dr. Anthony Fauci turns 81, and as he marks the milestone, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, is topping the Amazon and USA Today bestseller lists. The real Fauci, Kennedy contends, is the J. Edgar Hoover of public health, but there’s more going on than longevity and corruption.
To expose Fauci’s drug experiments with children, Kennedy cites the BBC’s 2004 “Guinea Pig Kids.” This documentary is again under attack, and that invites a review.
Scientists to Biden: Your winter COVID plan is too little, too late
You can’t blame Biden for the emergence of new variants. But you can blame him for his hubris in celebrating “independence from the virus” this summer as Delta was taking off across the U.S.
And you can most definitely blame him for being shortsighted about preparing countermeasures ahead of an inevitable winter wave.
Secret Service: Nearly $100B stolen in pandemic relief funds
Nearly $100 billion at minimum has been stolen from COVID-19 relief programs set up to help businesses and people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, the U.S. Secret Service said Tuesday.
The estimate is based on Secret Service cases and data from the Labor Department and the Small Business Administration, said Roy Dotson, the agency’s national pandemic fraud recovery coordinator, in an interview. The Secret Service didn’t include COVID-19 fraud cases prosecuted by the Justice Department.
While roughly 3% of the $3.4 trillion dispersed, the amount stolen from pandemic benefits programs shows “the sheer size of the pot is enticing to the criminals,” Dotson said.
Case drop may show South Africa’s omicron peak has passed
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africa’s noticeable drop in new COVID-19 cases in recent days may signal that the country’s dramatic omicron-driven surge has passed its peak, medical experts say.
Daily virus case counts are notoriously unreliable, as they can be affected by uneven testing, reporting delays and other fluctuations. But they are offering one tantalizing hint — far from conclusive yet — that omicron infections may recede quickly after a ferocious spike.
South Africa has been at the forefront of the omicron wave and the world is watching for any signs of how it may play out there to try to understand what may be in store.
DOUBLE-SPEAK: Leftist Fact Police Say They Didn’t ‘Censor’ Med Journal
The pseudo-medical geniuses at Facebook partner Lead Stories tried to fact-check the British Medical Journal. Then they somehow claimed those actions weren’t censorship.
The British Medical Journal (BMJ) responded to a bizarre “fact-check” by Lead Stories of its bombshell report headlined: “Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial.” The report in question revealed how “Revelations of poor practices at a contract research company helping to carry out Pfizer’s pivotal covid-19 vaccine trial raise questions about data integrity and regulatory oversight.” But Lead Stories Managing Editor Dean Miller, who isn’t a medical professional, wrote a blaring headline in response: “Fact Check: The British Medical Journal Did NOT Reveal Disqualifying And Ignored Reports Of Flaws In Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Trials.”
Sabrina Maddeaux: Scrambling Canadians should be furious booster shots were dismissed for months
It’s OK to be furious right now. In fact, you should be. It becomes clearer by the day just how badly everyone from the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) to provincial premiers and public health officials bungled our pandemic response just when something resembling an end to this madness and tragedy was in sight. It didn’t have to be this way.
Canada’s Federal Health Agency Collecting Cellphone Data to Inform Pandemic Policies
Canada’s federal health agency has been using cellphone data to track the anonymized movements of Canadians since the onset of the pandemic in order to inform policy and public messaging, and it intends to continue the practice after the COVID-19 crisis is over.
Reported by Blacklock’s on Dec. 21, the news was confirmed by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times.
Not a surprise. We are wired for control.

Ontario reports 4383 new Covid cases… roughly, maybe, no one knows … and YES you aren’t entitled to Justin’s Lockdown benefit!
Ont. reports 4,383 new COVID-19 cases today; highest single-day total since April
Of the news cases confirmed today, 176 involve those who are partially vaccinated, 222 involve people with an unknown vaccination status, 746 involve those who are unvaccinated, and 3,243 involve people who are considered fully vaccinated with two doses of an approved COVID-19 vaccine.
Omicron is blurring true picture of COVID-19 cases. But experts say there are other ways to capture it
As demand drastically increases for COVID-19 testing across the country, experts say it will quickly become harder to get an exact picture of Omicron case counts in Canada.
And that means health authorities are likely soon going to have to rely more on hospitalization numbers as the main indicator of the extent of the impact of the new coronavirus variant.
“This is such a hyper-contagious disease that it was completely foreseeable … that the rate of spread would overwhelm the testing capacity that we have, as is already happening,” said Raywat Deonandan, an epidemiologist and associate professor at the University of Ottawa.
Despite new COVID-19 restrictions, no one is eligible for the new federal benefit
As new restrictions sweep the country just days before Christmas, a new benefit meant to help workers is locking them out of receiving support because of its specific wording.
Last week, parliament passed Bill C-2, which created the Canada Worker Lockdown Benefit (CWLB), a program intended to give $300 a week to anyone who can’t work because of a COVID-19 lockdown.
