The tables at Karen’s Homestyle Cooking in downtown Peace River, Alta., sit empty.
Owner Karen Greaves would rather turn diners away than participate in Alberta’s vaccine passport program.
“I’m just totally done with it. From Day 1, I was done with it,” Greaves said Thursday.
“This is not about health and safety, it’s about control.”
Hockey and other minor sports leagues as well as fitness and swimming classes that operate out of municipal facilities in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon will be put on hold because not enough coaches, instructors and players have been fully vaccinated.
The truth about Covid vaccines not only failing to stop the spread, but actually being a major transmission vehicle for Covid-19, has finally come out in the mainstream press. On Thursday, Bloomberg News pointed to a new study published by the medical journal “The Lancet” that further establishes that vaccinated individuals spread the Delta variant just as much as unvaccinated people do – indeed, slightly faster.

Data from several states and the federal government suggests deaths among Americans fully vaccinated against COVID-19 rose sharply amid the nation’s most recent surge of infections, but experts say that is not unexpected as more of the population gets immunized.
Wut?!
NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea is trying to sway officers – some of the most vaccine-hesitant workers in city government – to comply with last week’s order by Mayor Bill de Blasio.
At a meeting of the Food and Drug Administration’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee, a voting member admitted he wasn’t sure about the COVID shot’s long-term risk to children despite the committee voting to recommend the Pfizer vaccine for kids ages 5-11.
A key Food and Drug Administration advisory committee on Tuesday recommended a lower dose of Pfizer and BioNTech’s Covid-19 vaccine for children ages 5 to 11, a critical step in getting some 28 million more kids in the U.S. protected against the virus as the delta variant spreads.
Tens of thousands healthcare workers across Canada are facing termination or discipline for not being vaccinated against COVID-19, according to a review conducted by True North.
Ontario’s education minister says 50,000 people could lose their jobs if the province mandated COVID-19 vaccines for education workers.

On Tuesday, October 26, 2021, the FDA is meeting “to discuss a request to amend Pfizer-BioNTech’s Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) for administration of their COVID-19 mRNA vaccine to children 5 through 11 years of age.”
In anticipation of this meeting (and to illuminate the real reason why Pfizer is seeking the EUA), we offer a rare point of agreement in our polarized world. One that damns both the FDA and Pfizer: healthy children aren’t threatened by COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly reshaped how we perceive ourselves and the social world around us. It has more recently transformed the business of governance in western democracies like Canada.
The crisis has modified how the law is applied to society and redefined who decides the exceptions to the rules that our society must now adhere to.
The decisions of medical health-care professionals like doctors and nurse practitioners are now far more legally and politically significant than before, since they’re determining who is exempt from following new vaccination laws and mandates.
A specter is haunting discussions of the economy — the specter of Covid agency. Almost from the very moment unprecedented government actions were announced worldwide to stop the spread of Covid-19, people became accustomed to referring to the virus as a sentient being with the ability to bend people to his will.
While the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is marketing widespread use of the emergency-use vaccines in the U.S. for both old and young alike, many other countries are limiting Covid-19 vaccine use. Health officials around the world are giving varying advice on safety issues as Covid-19 vaccines are given to more people, and more information can be collected.
