Pfizer and AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccines are not as effective in fighting off the Omicron variant compared to other strains, according to a new study published Monday.
Researchers from the University of Oxford said in the pre-print paper that they had discovered a “substantial fall” in neutralizing antibodies when the Omicron variant was introduced to blood samples 28 days after participants received their second dose of either Pfizer or AstraZeneca’s vaccine.
What do you call someone who says we should judge people based on their skin colour and that we should devise laws and rules that treat people differently based on their race?
We used to call these people “racists.” But in 2021, they call themselves “anti-racists” and if you disagree with them, then they call you a racist.
The majority of Canadians support boycotting the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics due to China’s human rights record, while many are also concerned for the safety of the athletes who will be competing, according to a new poll.
Conducted by the Vancouver-based Research Co., the poll shows 56 percent of Canadians support boycotting the Olympics, scheduled to take place in Beijing from Feb. 4 to Feb. 20, 2022.
Black Lives Matter (BLM) activists told students that they live in a “misogynistic, masculine society” that claims “women should stay at home” to cook and clean and that as black women, they are “overlooked a lot” and encounter people who want to harm them because of who they are, according to a video obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
MSNBC’s national affairs analyst John Heilemann shocked many Americans by claiming on a Sunday show that “20 to 30 million people” are ready to “take up arms” to remove President Joe Biden from office.
On Sunday’s Meet the Press, host Chuck Todd focused on a recent Atlantic article declaring that Donald Trump’s “coup has already begun” for a segment, finding Heilemann in total agreement with the piece’s premise.
“There is this research that shows something like 8% and maybe up to 12% who say that Joe Biden was illegitimate and that violence is a suitable tool to remove him and restore Donald Trump. This represents between 20 and 30 million people,” Heilemann said, claiming these supposed “20 to 30 million people” are ready to “take up arms.”
Off record… that 30 million estimate seems low.
Update: Is Trudeau suggesting Canadian tax payers will pay US residents the US rebate on EV’s made in Canada?
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canada would ‘align’ its own electric-vehicle incentives with those south of the border if Canadian-built cars and trucks could be made eligible for proposed U.S. tax credits.
TORONTO — Doug Ford is pitching Ontario as the next electric vehicle manufacturing powerhouse, seemingly a far cry from the premier who three years ago cancelled incentives for people to buy them.
Where some see contradiction, others see calculated election strategy.
Shortly after coming to power in 2018, Ford’s government scrapped Ontario’s cap-and-trade system, and with it the electric vehicle rebates funded by that program.
What a bizarre article. It fails to mention that Biden’s BBB plan offers huge incentives to manufacture EV’s and batteries in the US which has the potential to wipe out Canada’s auto industry.
As for mining rare earths in the “Ring of Fire”, the Ring of Eco-Luddites will ensure that is at the least severely limited.
Rebates do favour the rich, electric vehicles do not make practical economic sense.
Four years after the murders of billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman, Toronto homicide detectives are releasing images and other information from their case for the first time in the hope that the public can help them solve the crime.
This information – police will not say what it is – is sealed in search warrant documents the Toronto Star is arguing in court that have been released shortly after the investigation began.
Inspector in charge of murder. Hank Idsinga and principal investigator Det.-Sgt. Sources say Brandon Price will provide information and updates about his investigation on Tuesday morning.
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has accused Western European governments of having embarked on a grand exercise in “human experimentation” by “mixing huge masses of Muslims with indigenous Christians” in the hope that “something good would come of it”.
The monsters making these decisions are well insulated from the consequences, only the Little People die.
City of Chicago confirms it WILL sue Jussie Smollett for wasted $130k police investigation into fake hate attack: Nigerian brothers he accused also plan lawsuit
Embattled actor Jussie Smollett still faces a $130,000 lawsuit from the City of Chicago – and more legal trouble from the brothers he hired to attack him – after he was convicted of staging his own assault in a botched career move.
The former Empire star dominated headlines in January 2019 after he claimed he was victimized in a racist, homophobic attack, but investigators soon determined his story was a hoax.
The Chicago Police Department came to the conclusion after more than two dozen cops spent weeks investigating the bogus story, logging 1,836 overtime hours in the process, a July 2019 legal filing said.
HALIFAX—As phony virtue signalling goes, it would be hard to beat Canada’s decision to diplomatically boycott the Beijing Olympics.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau claimed that the decision not to send government officials to the 2022 Games reflects Canada’s “deep concerns” about human rights abuses in China.
It’s a meaningless gesture against one of the most evil regimes in history but performative bullshit is Trudeau’s stock in trade. Canada’s China class seeks favour with this mass murdering regime. Justin the puppet will make sure it remains business as usual with the ChiComs.
“On the Koran I will cut your throat!” Here is the land of Allah! “: A Catholic procession attacked in Nanterre, the priest threatened with death, the faithful treated as” kouffars “
On the evening of Wednesday, December 8, around thirty faithful from the parish of Fontenelles, in Nanterre, were attacked by ten people during a torchlight procession organized in honor of the Virgin Mary, celebrated by all Catholics on the feast of the Immaculate Conception – and especially at Fontenelles, whose parish church is dedicated to her. During this heated altercation, insults and threats were uttered against the clergy and parishioners present, so that the organizers had to give up the stations planned along the route to regain the point of arrival more quickly. of the procession.

‘Absurdity’ of police logging rapists as women
Police have been criticised for saying they will record rapes by offenders with male genitalia as being committed by a woman if the attacker “identifies as a female”.
Police Scotland said that they would log rapes as being carried out by a woman if the accused person insists, even if they have not legally changed gender.

Ontario needs new pandemic response strategy as omicron makes inroads: experts
With the omicron variant poised to become Ontario’s dominant COVID-19 strain, experts want the province to explain how it plans to shift its pandemic response if many people are infected much more quickly than in previous waves.
“We obviously have dealt with this for two years, but this is very different,” said Dr. Zain Chagla, an infectious diseases specialist at McMaster University.
“We’re going to see something I don’t think we’ve seen before.”
I am seriously concerned about getting a booster. I had no side effects from the Moderna/Pfizer combo. Is it worth the risk?
“If I were a betting person right now, I’d say Trump is going to run again,” she told Sunday Today host Willie Geist. “He seems to be setting himself up to do that, and if he’s not held accountable, he gets to do it again.”
After weeks of criticism from scientists and global health experts, Canada has dropped a travel rule that had rejected COVID-19 tests from South Africa and had required Canadian travellers to get tests from third countries.
