The worldwide toll of deaths from Covid-19 has just hit 6 million, nearly 1 million of which are in the United States. Few science stories are more important than understanding where the Covid virus came from. Yet the science writers’ section of the press corps has proved strangely incapable of telling the story straight.
Many Canadians are happy to see provincial governments, and now even the federal government ending COVID-19 restrictions, mask mandates, and worst of all, COVID-19 vaccine mandates for certain occupations and activities, but is that really enough?
The fact that the government had the capability to mandate vaccines that did not stop the spread of the virus they were meant to fight is quite troubling. In some provinces like Ontario, they have still not scrapped the digital infrastructure for the mandates, making it so that businesses can still continue discriminating against customers based on vaccine status.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford is tacitly endorsing discrimination, and even if you think businesses should be allowed to deny service to whomever they please (which is a fair argument), it is undeniable that nobody would care about vaccine status if the government did not tell them to care.
COVID-related hospitalizations drop below 600 in Ontario; 4 more deaths added to cumulative total
The number of patients with COVID-19 at Ontario hospitals hit the lowest level seen in nearly three months, dropping below 600 today.
Provincial health officials say there are currently 551 COVID-19 patients currently receiving treatment in hospitals, down from 602 last week. COVID-related hospitalizations have not dipped below 600 since December 28, when 491 patients were receiving treatment in Ontario.
Ontario lifts mask mandates in most public spaces including schools, retail settings
TORONTO — Face masks will no longer be required in schools, retail settings and most other indoor public spaces in Ontario beginning today.
The change comes a few weeks after the province lifted proof-of-vaccination rules and capacity limits.
Select settings such as public transit, health-care facilities, long-term care homes and congregate care settings will keep mask mandates until the end of April, when the province plans to put an end to all remaining public health rules.
In 2009, the largest health care fraud settlement in Department of Justice history was settled. This was the largest criminal fine of any kind imposed in the U.S and the largest ever civil fraud settlement against a pharmaceutical company. At the time. Who is this pharmaceutical company that so egregiously disregarded the laws of this country, regarding bribery and fraud? This campaign endangered patients. They advertised dosages of a drug that the FDA considered dangerous. That company that did all this is Pfizer.
So why is it, that when Pfizer executives tell our government now that another booster is needed, when they present an incomplete data set supporting the use of the mRNA vaccines in children – they are not questioned by the main stream media. Maybe because we now know that legacy media is essentially state sponsored media? The Blaze obtained documents by FOIA reveal that main stream media has essentially been paid off, when it comes to COVID-19.
I have over 50 pieces of data that is simply impossible to explain if the vaccines are safe and effective. I’ll be adding them to this article over time, so check back for the latest. I’ll post the most recent additions at the top to make this easy.
I’m starting with just one item right now which is the only item you need to know to stop the vaccine mandates. It is so important, I wanted to push it out now.
TORONTO — As students in Canada’s most populous province return to mask-free classes after two years on Monday, one Ontario school board is facing backlash for defying the province’s decision to drop masks, potentially setting the stage for a clash on a contentious pandemic issue.
Ontario reports 3 new COVID-19 deaths, as mask mandate set to end
Ontario reported three new COVID-19 deaths on Sunday, the last day before mask mandates end in most indoor public spaces throughout the province.
The Ministry of Health says all three deaths occurred sometime in the past 30 days.
There have been 76 deaths reported due to COVID-19 in Ontario in the past seven days and 496 in the past 30 days.
COVID-19 hasn’t gone anywhere in Canada — and we could still see another surge
COVID-19 may no longer be top of mind for Canadians, but there are still more cases and hospitalizations now than at some of the worst points of the pandemic — and while we may have moved on, the virus definitely hasn’t.
Canada has lifted almost all public health measures as COVID-19 levels continue to drop from the peak of the devastating Omicron wave that overwhelmed testing capacity and fuelled a record surge in hospitals across the country.
The government cited government-controlled CBC reports as part of their justification for imposing the act.
“We’ve learned a lot over the past two years, but one lesson in particular is that no one person should be deemed ‘dictator in chief.’ No one person should have unilateral authority to make decisions for millions of Americans.”
That was Sen. Rand Paul and the dictator is Biden advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci, a government bureaucrat since 1968 and head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984.
Unvaccinated Canadians are about 12 times more likely than those who received three doses to believe Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was justified, according to a new survey by national polling firm EKOS.
The poll found 26 per cent of those who identified as unvaccinated agreed the Russian invasion is justified, with another 35 per cent not offering an opinion. This compared to only two per cent of surveyed Canadians who said they had three doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and who supported the attack, and four per cent who offered no view.
… The study concludes the results point “to the highly corrosive influences of disinformation.”
… Unvaccinated Canadians are also more likely to have a profound distrust of government, science and professional health experts, Graves said, and are more likely to support the protest convoy that occupied Ottawa for nearly a month.
“So the pattern was really clear that disinformation was not just a curious feature. It was, I think, a causal ingredient of vaccine resistance.”
I conducted my own poll of me and my cat and found journalists were inclined to lie about the Convoy.

Ontario confirms 16 more COVID-19 deaths; ICU occupancy continues to drop
Ontario confirmed 16 more COVID-19 deaths and 185 patients in intensive care on Saturday, as the province prepares to lift mask mandates in most indoor settings on Monday.
The Ministry of Health says 13 of the deaths occurred in the past month and three of the deaths happened more than one month ago.
Tam says the federal government is ‘examining’ all vaccine mandates
Canada’s chief public health officer said Friday the federal government is actively reviewing all of its vaccine mandates with an eye to ending rules that force some people to get their COVID-19 shots.
Speaking at a press conference with reporters, Dr. Theresa Tam said the country’s public health officials are at a “very important juncture” and COVID-19 policies may soon shift from “an emphasis on requirements to recommendations.”
In a Thursday TV spot with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Dr. Fauci weighed in on the World Health Organization (WHO) director’s recent suggestion that despite the lifting of mandates throughout the country and the world, “the pandemic is not over.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci spoke about retiring from public life as demands for his termination have grown louder this week.
Fauci, 81, told ABC News he is “certainly” thinking of retiring as President Biden’s top medical adviser. Suggesting he will stay on until the end of the pandemic, Fauci noted the pandemic might already be over.
193 people are in ICU with #COVID19.
79% of patients admitted to the ICU were admitted for COVID-19 and 21% were admitted for other reasons but have tested positive for COVID-19.
There are 2,502 new cases of COVID-19.

All signs suggest COVID-19 transmission starting to rebound in Ontario: model
Ontario should prepare for a moderate rebound in hospital admissions due to COVID-19 between now and May, as all remaining surveillance suggests the Omicron wave has hit bottom and is starting to trend back upwards, new modelling indicates.
With the mask mandate ending in most spaces in four days, and the arrival of the BA.2 Omicron subvariant, hospital ICU occupancy could increase by a third to 300 patients by May, the Ontario COVID-19 Science Advisory Table says.
