While appeared virtually at the World Economic Forum, Biden’s top Covid adviser was asked if the SARS-CoV-2 virus would become endemic in 2022. Fauci said it’s too early to tell and the world appears to be in phase one of a five-phase pandemic, The New York Times reported.
Here’s the latest video from the CDC that, for the very first time, acknowledges that you might not want to vaccinate your kids.
Superb investigative journalism as ever from @sonia_elijah.
Half the mRNA was truncated such that no-one knows what proteins are being coded for.
Regulators expressed concerns and passed it anyway.

At least a dozen former Metrolinx employees, including long-time staff and senior managers, are suing their ex-employer for a combined $2.09 million after being suspended without pay for refusing to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
In separate lawsuits filed last December, the former employees say they were treated with “callous disregard” when Metrolinx placed them on indefinite leaves of absence last November because they chose not to get two doses of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine by the Nov. 1 deadline Metrolinx prescribed.
Would a single win open the floodgates?

A Canadian professor has been branded a petty tattle-tale on social media after taking to Twitter to shame a flight attendant for not wearing amask.
Amir Attaran, a professor of law and epidemiology at the University of Ottawa, complained that his United flight attendant was breaking the law which requires masking on flights out of Canada on a recent trip to Chicago.
‘Hey United, why are you breaking the law? Masks are required on all flights out of Canada. Your flight attendant isn’t wearing one! This is UA3737 in Ottawa right now,’ he tweeted.
A panel of advisers to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Saturday voted to recommend COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as six months, making it likely a nationwide rollout can start next week.
The 12-0 vote in favour of the move needs to be signed off by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky for the U.S. government to start rolling out the vaccines for children aged five and under.
Research into gain-of function at Wuhan Institute of Virology most likely cause of pandemic.
The head of the World Health Organisation privately believes the Covid pandemic started following a leak from a Chinese laboratory, a senior Government source claims.
While publicly the group maintains that ‘all hypotheses remain on the table’ about the origins of Covid, the source said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO), had recently confided to a senior European politician that the most likely explanation was a catastrophic accident at a laboratory in Wuhan, where infections first spread during late 2019.
The German government is mulling proposals to enforce compulsory mask-wearing from October to March, it was reported today.
The plans would encompass mask wearing in all public spaces – including bars, restaurants and shops – during the colder half of the year in a bid to battle the spread of Covid, in a so-called ‘O-bis-O’ (Oktober bis Ostern) scheme, German paper Die Welt reported on Friday.
The summer travel season is off to a rocky start for America’s largest air carriers. Over the five-day Memorial Day weekend, more than 2,800 flights were canceled for one reason or another, with severe weather playing only a small part.
Meanwhile in Canada… Airport authorities didn’t expect ‘pent up demand for air travel’ this early
OTTAWA – Flying the friendly skies could bring more frowns than smiles this summer, as volumes are expected to increase while many bottlenecks still remain and the airline industry struggles to staff up.
According to Blacklock’s Reporter, during Thursday’s House of Commons transport committee, NDP MP Taylor Bachrach sponsored a motion requesting “a copy of all relevant documents containing public health advice and scientific modeling received by the Minister of Transport” used to justify quarantines, masking, mandatory vaccination and other measures.
“All of a sudden there was a decision to suspend the mandates without really an explanation of what changed,” Bachrach explained.
According to a statement by the company, Pfizer has stopped COVID pill trial after the latest results showed that it did not reduce symptoms, hospitalizations and deaths.
Pfizer has stated it will halt participation in a clinical trial for Paxlovid, its COVID-19 antiviral medication, for standard-risk COVID-19 patients after the most recent findings revealed the medication did not numerically greatly lower symptoms, hospitalizations, or fatalities.
In more than 65 nations, including the United States, Paxlovid, a combination of the antivirals nirmatrelvir and ritonavir, is presently approved or authorized for conditional or emergency use in the treatment of COVID-19 patients at high risk of developing severe illness, including hospitalization or death.
At least they’re consistent. I wonder what the side effects are?
Key statistics offered by the government in support of its use of the ArriveCAN app are “absolutely false,” according to the union that represents Canada’s border agents.
Mark Webber, president of the Customs and Immigration Union, told a House of Commons committee Wednesday that the number of people who successfully complete the ArriveCAN app prior to showing up at the border is significantly lower than what the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) claims.
ON January 23, 2020, the pharmaceutical giant Moderna and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI) signed a $1million funding agreement to begin manufacturing a Covid-19 vaccine.
In an associated press release, Dr Richard Hatchett, CEPI’s Chief Executive Officer stated: ‘CEPI has moved with great urgency and in coordination with WHO [World Health Organisation], who is leading the development of a coordinated international response, to promote the development of new vaccines against the emerging threat of nCoV-2019.’
My brother is currently in the Hospice at Sunnybrook.
While his spirit remains admirably strong he is now bed ridden as he can no longer stand on his own.
Just last week they loosened up the visitor restrictions allowing all vaxxed friends and relatives to stop by. Prior to that only his wife, myself and his children were allowed to see him.
Well now he is in isolation as there has been a covid outbreak on the wing. He’s been tested but we won’t know the results until tomorrow.
This will restrict his visitors again, likely to his immediate care-giver, his wife. I am her wheels so am there throughout the week.
It never rains but it pours.
