Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee have issued a formal report on their investigation of the origins of the coronavirus. “The Origins of COVID-19: An Investigation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology” tracks all of the information and data collected by the U.S. and other western governments.
The experts who said Freedom Day would be a disaster were catastrophically wrong.
Pointing out the errors made by lockdown sceptics has become the favoured sport of the chattering classes. It sometimes has the whiff of a bloodsport. Every time Sunetra Gupta or Karol Sikora pops up on Radio 4 or makes a comment in a national newspaper, an army of Little Stalins goes wild. ‘These people got things wrong about the virus!’, they cry. ‘Stop platforming them!’ These experts will never escape the mistakes and misjudgements they made about Covid-19. There will always be a shrill finger-pointer there to remind them. And to accuse them of killing people with their ‘disinformation’.
The CDC’s justification involves an orgy of hairy homosexuals
ABC News published a story on Thursday headlined: “CDC mask decision followed stunning findings from Cape Cod beach outbreak.” The article by Anne Flaherty and Arielle Mitropoulos explained how more than 800 people — 74 percent of whom had already been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 — tested positive for the coronavirus in the aftermath of Fourth of July celebrations in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
Almost half of whites in NYC are fully vaccinated, compared to a third of blacks and just under 45 percent of Hispanics
The latest French export is a requirement that people show proof of vaccination to visit indoor bars, concert venues, restaurants and gyms.
On Tuesday, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that New York City will be the first American metropolis to import the French health pass. Marketed like an upscale perk, the ‘Key to NYC Pass’ program will begin on August 16 and become mandatory on September 13.
Twitter Suspends Journalist for… sharing CDC data on vaccines?
There’s an old saying about shooting the messenger: Don’t.
It’s not a very clever saying, but it’s still good advice.
During vacation, I ordinarily avoid Twitter like it’s COVID-19. Who wants to wade unnecessarily into a cesspool of viral toxicity? But as I sat at the off-leash park at Spanish Banks Beach in Vancouver watching our new (utterly adorable) pup frolic in the waves, I saw a Twitter alert: #FireHinshaw was trending, eclipsing the Olympics and other news events.
Governments at all three levels hired over 52,000 new bureaucratic administrators during the pandemic, according to the CTF.
Really!? Governments in Canada didn’t already have enough managers managing managers before?
I guess it’s no shock that StatsCan found more than 520,000 private-sector workers lost their jobs during the pandemic.
52000 thousand more votes in favour of stealing the bread from our mouths.
Ontario is reporting 139 cases of #COVID19 and over 17,100 tests completed. Locally, there are 26 new cases in Toronto, 19 in the Region of Waterloo, 18 in Peel Region, 15 in York Region and 12 in Hamilton.

Decision to mix COVID-19 vaccines could cause international travel difficulties for millions of Canadians
Canada’s move to mix COVID-19 vaccines as part of a strategy to quickly immunize as much of the population as possible could present travel challenges to millions of people who received different doses.
While research has shown that mixing a viral vector vaccine, such as AstraZeneca, followed by an mRNA vaccine, such as Pfizer, produces a significant immune response, some countries, including many in the European Union, don’t recognize certain vaccines and vaccine combinations.
That means that those with mixed doses may not be considered fully vaccinated and could require additional COVID-19 safety measures such as testing and quarantining. Cruise lines can also deny boarding to passengers.

Early in the pandemic, Justin Trudeau looked like a man under siege. Atop a minority government, hiding behind a scruffy COVID beard, Canada’s prime minister called the military into infected retirement homes as hospitals filled and drug producers threw up their hands over vaccines.
So it’s all the more remarkable these days to see the newly-shaven, freshly-coiffed 49-year-old Trudeau criss-crossing his country with beaming aides, promoting childcare and green energy, ending travel bans and basking in the unexpected fact that a bigger percentage of Canadians are vaccinated than Americans.
New York City mayor Bill de Blasio has proven the old adage that “if you scratch a socialist, you’ll find a communist.”
On Monday, the unpopular mayor issued a new decree based on a public health emergency that has effectively passed. New York City private businesses are now required to violate the health privacy of customers by demanding they show COVID vaccine documentation to enter their establishments.
“Impressions regarding cause of death did not indicate a pattern suggestive of a causal relationship with vaccination; however, cause of death for some decedents is pending receipt of additional information.”
Sarah Hoffman, who is deputy leader for the NDP, says an independent review is necessary to look into the United Conservative government’s decision to end isolation requirements, contact tracing and asymptomatic testing.
There is an inevitable moment, familiar to all parents and babysitters, when you realize that reasoning with a toddler will only get you so far. Soothing tones and patience may work for a while, but eventually the child once again picks up their bowl, looks you straight in the eye, and slowly pours their cereal onto the floor.
Canada has arrived at this moment, and the toddlers in question are the approximately 20 per cent of Canadians who have yet to get even one dose of a vaccine.
A scientific journal article authored by Professor Peter Hotez, a frequent guest on mainstream media networks, called to “extend federal hate-crime protections” for scientists facing criticism from alleged “far-right extremists,” including National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci.
Public Health Director Theresa Tam urges people to continue to isolate themselves, get tested for COVID-19, and inform their close contacts, even if it is no longer required.
Alberta’s case levels have risen and the Delta variant is now dominant.
