Despite it being propaganda?

You just gonna pretend no one noticed and leave it there?

Next time you're wondering why people are so fucked up about vaccine mandates reflect on why you haven't pulled it down or acknowledged how misleading it is. Examine your own behaviour and you'll have the answer as to why those people are doing what they're doing.


Oh, no! I left something up despite your disagreement with its slant!

Look, I wholly accept your point that the image was misleading in that it did not include the removal of lockdowns and mask mandates. If I had to do it again, I would have just put up a simpler chart that showed the case curve flattened on the y-axis. It was just a handy image that came up when I searched for one.

Do you accept my point that Australia's overall response to COVID-19 has been completely horrifying and that none of your country's overboard authoritarianism and tri-annual poisoning of its citizens is doing jackshit to stop COVID-19 as we speak?

Australia is averaging 150,000+ new cases per day. That would be more in the 1.5 million in a country the size of the USA.


The graph is flat out wrong. If anything it disproves its own point. Its oxymoronic.

Leave it there if you like. That says more about you than reality.

Re the bolded....

That's not one point. Its several. I'll deal with them separately.

Do you accept my point that Australia's overall response to COVID-19 has been completely horrifying

Horrifying isn't the word I'd use. Its been a mixed bag. But what I've seen said overseas about here is completely fucked up. To the point where its just ludicrous.

In Victoria for ages during the lockdown there was a bunch of people hanging out and protesting at the parliament every day. It was called Occupy Spring Street. Every day people were just hanging out there. No where near as bad as what happened to the Occupy movement in the US. I don't really follow the media as much as you lot but is it true that there was people shot by coppers or army at an anti vax protest in Khazakstan? (I read that here. Had heard about the shooting before but not their context.)

Horrifying?

Hardly.

Vic cops using assault rifles chambered to fire small calibre pepper spray capsules was pretty fucked up tho. But they had that shit anyway. Its illegal to actively prevent infrastructure that destroys the environment in Australia. That's what that stuff is really for. That's disturbing but on trend.

If you're referring to the authoritarian nature of certain things ... you've only just noticed. The laws in Australia that were here before covid are worse. Police could already get people locked out of areas, and based on no real evidence either. Preventing critical infrastructure from being completed is terrorism. (So locking on at an environmental action is terrorism.) Making the government look bad is now a national security issue. (I guess that means our current Pm is a national security threat based on his own shitness alone.)

that none of your country's overboard authoritarianism and tri-annual poisoning of its citizens is doing jackshit to stop COVID-19 as we speak?


Did I say it was? You haven't asked me once what I actually think about alot of this, just made a bunch of assumptions. Even now this isn't asking so much as hectoring.

I just told you what i thought about our overboard authoritarianism. It makes our response to covid look trivial.

Its laughable that wankers on the other side of the world think Australia is suddenly now a police state based on laws that aren't as full on as the other laws we have (that people like them would probably be in favour of.) And then you and others quote those people here!!!

With some exceptions i think boosters are unnecessary.

Well everything is different with Omicron. Its basically a different virus even if its not considered one.

Before Omicron two doses of the Oxford/Astra Zenaca vaccine were enough to trigger cellular memory (ie B and T cells) against COVID even into the "delta wave". LOL you won't find that in the media, especially in Australia where we stopped making that vaccine and subjected it to alot of bullshit that seems like marketing to me.

Obviously marketing for mRNA drugs.

But every now and then people involved with the development of the AZ vaccine give interviews in the Australian media and usually say how their results are at that point, and they do full serum studies, ie not just looking for neutralising antibodies but for other things like T and B Cells associated with vaccine response. A year after their first tests they were still seeing strong responses. That means a year after vaccination cellular memory against covid was still functional.

So boosters are unnecessary. At least for me having had that vaccine.

There is something to be said for vaccine boosters. Maybe even with covid. But they have to be spaced properly, so the infections the vaccines mimic seem like regular, probably seasonal, events. It trains the immune system. Dunno why but it seems as tho the immune response learns that some things are more regular than others and has a higher level of neutralising antibodies floating around all the time.

But Omicron is highly vaccine evasive so its pointless trying to use boosters to trigger that sort of response and its being done too quickly for them to have their best effect, (which is stupid given how evasive it is anyway.)

Its not rational obviously.

But its also obvious they are freaking out about Omicron. Even if the hospitalisation numbers are trivial the infectiousness is such that the tiny number of hospitalisations (proportionally) multiplied by the high number of infections can still overwhelm the hospital system. Elective surgery has already been cancelled in NSW ahead of the expected rush of hospitalisations. If they are wrong they are wrong but if they are right then the numbers of hospitalisations mean, by definition, that the hospital system has collapsed. IE - It can no longer provide the care it should.

That doesn't mean people dying on the street, it just means you can't rely on the hospital system if you're waiting for a shoulder or knee reco ... or were just in a serious car accident ... or just had a heart attack, vaccine related or not. The hospital system no longer does what its sposed to.

This has already happened here and is on the verge of happening again.

What utter bastards the BBC are:

BBC, on 16 January 2022, wrote:What's really going on with Covid deaths data?
Analysis box by Robert Cuffe, Head of statistics

Covid deaths are rising sharply in the UK, but an increasing proportion of these are actually due to something else, BBC analysis suggests.

That's because some people die with Covid rather than from it. ...
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-59973659


"BBC analysis suggests"!These hacks have some nerve.

It's not "an increasing number". This entirely fake "pandemic" has always been the product of shabby manipulative journalism, weasely wording, statistical trickery, medical corruption and anti-scientific lies. "Died with" indeed! Who the fuck has ever said, "He died with a heart attack" or "She died with a brain haemorrhage"? No one. No one ever. Yet the BBC ("The World's Trusted News Source") can mangle language and manipulate death figures this way -- daily, for nearly two whole years, with the clear intention of deceiving and terrorising the public -- and not one journalist, politician or medic anywhere raises the slightest objection.

The corruption runs so deep.

From an RI thread that was locked 22 months ago, before it could even get started:

Ah! Died WITH! The BBC starts backtracking (or slips up)

What utter bastards the BBC are.
The number of people who have died with coronavirus in the UK has now reached 1,019, with a further 260 deaths announced on Saturday.
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-52079922


Did you catch that? Once again, with emphasis added:
The number of people who have died with coronavirus in the UK has now reached 1,019, with a further 260 deaths announced on Saturday.


No longer "of", no longer "from" the Deadly World-Stopping Oriental Killer Virus. All of a sudden it's "with".

Well well, who could possibly have anticipated that.

Know your enemy. These shameless hacks are rapidy backtracking now, and hoping to get away with it.

(My father died with a slightly ingrown toenail. That was not what killed him.)


Those vicious, calculating liars got away with it for 659 days. Time enough for them to damage a generation of children, prick almost everyone with poison, "normalise" dictatorship, and rob the people blind.

There will be a reckoning.

Time to bring back hangings and guillotines. Happy to volunteer in that effort, once the reckoning comes.

Unfortunately the truth will trickle out gaslit just as much the lies were and will be strategically framed to double down on blaming others

I was deceived about COVID vaccine safety

Covid vaccine injuries are being grossly underreported and censored: evidence from multiple, independent sources

Why did I write this article?
In May of 2021, I took the second dose of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine. At the time, I was led to believe that everybody knows the vaccines are safe and effective. I kept hearing that anybody who believed in science should want to get vaccinated.

I used to be a biologist, so of course I believed in science. So I took the vaccine.

If I had known what I know now, I would not have taken it.

At the time, I had no idea of the level of censorship that hides Covid vaccine injuries from the public. At the time, I thought we could trust our health institutions, more or less.

But not all vaccines are the same, and not all vaccines are equally safe. And criticizing the Covid vaccines, does not make one “anti-vax.”

When it comes to the Covid vaccines, there is overwhelming evidence that they lead to much higher rates of injury and death, than what our health institutions, like the CDC, acknowledge and report to the public.

I wrote this article in order to take some of the evidence for this and compile it into one, shareable article.


I was going to share the same piece -- came across it a couple days ago.

Worth sharing to anyone on the fence on these mRNA products.

Pasting point 8 here; the source link has a ton of embedded links to corroborate the statements:

8. Evidence of corruption or undue influence in our health institutions

Medical journals and researchers

Is it a problem that doctors, scientists, medical journals, teaching hospitals, and university medical schools can accept money from the pharmaceutical industry?

A former editor of the British Medical Journal describes how Pharma can cleverly use medical journals to its own advantage. And this review article investigates whether Pharma funding leads to more outcomes favorable for the funder (spoiler alert: it does).

Is it a problem that when drug companies submit their trial data to science journals, they own the data, and the peer reviewers and editors of the journal don’t get to actually see the raw data? So they have to take the drug companies for their word?

And is it a problem that most doctors don’t seem to know this?

Again, from the interview with Dr. John Abramson:

When a drug company sponsors a clinical trial, and they do the analysis and they write up a manuscript… and they send it to a medical journal and it gets peer-reviewed, and doctors are trained that they should trust peer-reviewed articles and that’s how the system works. The peer-reviewers and the editors of the medical journals don’t get to see the data. They have to take the word of the drug companies that they’ve presented the data accurately and reasonably completely. And you only get to see it in litigation, five years later…

He goes into more detail on this in his book Overdosed America, which I highly recommend.

By the way pharmaceutical companies also give money to the editors of prestigious medical journals. And many medical journals depend on the drug industry to pay for advertisements. Advertising is an important revenue stream for these journals, and industry spent a combined $637 million in 2016 to buy ads in medical journals, the majority of which were ads to market drugs to doctors.

More on the influence that Pharma has on medical journals and academic investigators here, here, here and here.

And watch an interview on this topic with Dr. Marcia Angell, Harvard Medical School faculty member and former editor-in-chief of the New England Journal of Medicine: here.

Global health organizations
There are various global health organizations like the WHO, as well as non-profits and “public-private partnerships” that have enormous influence over global health. A discussion of them could fill a multivolume book, but I’ll just list some useful links here:

Corruption in global health: the open secret

Covid-19, trust, and Wellcome: how charity’s pharma investments overlap with its research efforts

Private research funders court controversy with billions in secretive investments

WHO: Do financial contributions from ‘pharma’ violate WHO Guidelines?

L’OMS: Bateau ivre de la santé publique (translation: The WHO: Drunken boat of public health)

WHO Voluntary contributions by fund and by contributor, 2020

Who is really helping the WHO?

U.S. health institutions
The pharmaceutical/health products industries spent $266 million on lobbying in Washington in 2021 alone.

A 2007 study in the Emory Corporate Governance and Accountability Review summarized how compromised federal health officials have transformed the NIAID, NIH, CDC, and FDA into Pharma subsidiaries.

And here’s a 2019 report on the corporate capture of our policymakers.

Let’s dig into specific institutions.

The FDA

The FDA is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety and efficacy of drugs and other products.

They do not test drug themselves. Drug manufacturers get to test their own drugs, and submit their results to the FDA to review. More here.

The FDA used to be entirely funded by taxpayer money, but today nearly half of the FDA’s budget comes from the very companies it is supposed to regulate.

FDA advisers can accept money from pharmaceutical companies, which creates incentives to “play nice” with them.

Drug companies can buy access to invitation-only meetings where they can meet with FDA officials and possibly influence them.

Roughly 32% of drugs approved by the FDA between 2001-2010 were later found to have a safety issue, according to a Yale-led study. The FDA has had a history of approving unsafe drugs, and all signs point to the problem getting worse.

The FDA (and other institutions) can make journalists compliant.

The FDA has promised “full transparency” on Covid vaccines. And yet, a group of more than 30 scientists and doctors had to sue the FDA to get it to release all the data and documents it relied upon to license Pfizer’s Covid vaccine.

The FDA’s response? First, it asked a federal judge for 55 years to fully release the data. That’s a rate of 55 pages per month. Then later, the FDA doubled down and asked for 75 years to fully release the data.

This, despite the fact that it took precisely 108 days for the FDA to review all the documents throughly enough to ensure that the Pfizer vaccine was safe and effective for licensure.

Luckily, the federal judge recently rejected the FDA’s request and ordered them to produce all the data at a rate of 55,000 pages per month. We’ll see what’s in those documents, but the first batch of documents released reveals that Pfizer actually had to hire more people in order to keep up with tracking all the adverse events being reported.

We already mentioned Maddie de Garay earlier, in the “2- Testimonies from the vaccine injured” section. As mentioned, her life-altering injuries were ignored by the FDA (as well as the CDC and NIH):

FDA Buries Data on Seriously Injured Child in Pfizer’s Covid-19 Clinical Trial
The FDA should not authorize the Pfizer jab for younger children until it conducts a proper trial

Aaron Siri
Oct 22, 2021


Speaking of kids, when the FDA was deciding on whether to approve Pfizer for children, a voting member of the FDA advisory committee admitted that we wouldn’t know how safe the Pfizer Covid vaccine was until we started administering it. His exact words were: "We're never gonna learn about how safe the vaccine is unless we start giving it. That's just the way it goes." Video here.

Two top FDA officials, including the head of the FDA’s vaccine center, resigned back in Septermber, and it was speculated that it was over the issue of political pressure to authorize boosters in young people. In fact, the FDA chose to bypass its expert advisory committee and authorize boosters for children between 12 and 15 years of age.

At least the FDA is consistent: recently the FDA and CDC advised boosters for Omicron when (1) there is no clinical data supporting it, (2) in the past they had said they would not accept vaccine efficacy less than 50% and (3) Omicron, by all accounts, appears to be much milder than the previous strains and it’s unclear whether we need a vaccine for it. More here:

Vinay Prasad, MD MPH
@VPrasadMDMPH

Pre Vax 2020, FDA said they would not accept vaccine efficacy less than 50% (minimum bar)

Ontario data now suggesting a 3rd dose (booster) has Vax effectiveness of 37% for Omicron

Yet FDA & CDC advising booster FOR omicron?

A Few thoughts..


There’s a “revolving door” between Pharma and regulatory agencies. If regulators can leave the FDA for high-paying Pharma jobs, they might go easy on pharmaceutical companies in order to stay in their good graces.

I wonder if this is an example:

HEALTH AND SCIENCE
Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb joins Pfizer’s board of directors

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/06/27/former- ... board.html

Recently, Biden picked Dr. Robert Califf as FDA Chief, despite the fact that he’s made millions as a consultant in the pharmaceutical industry and holds millions more in Pharma investments (see here or here).

We could go on, but hopefully you get the point.

The CDC

The CDC is supposed to “protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S.”

Remember the V-Safe app data I mentioned earlier in the “3- Evidence from medical records or official databases of adverse events” section?

The CDC is being sued to release that data to the public. Apparently it contains 119 million entries.

Like the FDA, the CDC receives money from companies. This is often under the guise of “public-private partnerships.”

Here’s a list of their partners. The list not only includes pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and Gilead, but also includes Facebook, Google, McDonalds and Coca-Cola.

Image

Just like with other regulatory agencies, there’s a revolving door. Example here.

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which sets the U.S. adult and childhood immunization schedules, is full of members that own vaccine patents or stock in vaccine companies, or receive money from vaccine manufacturers.

More here, for an overview of some of the conflicts of interests, and even accounts of data manipulation.

The Office of Inspector General, which is responsible for reducing fraud or abuse of our regulatory agencies, found that the CDC often didn’t comply with its own ethics requirements (see here and here).

A Congressional Government Reform Committee report criticized the FDA and CDC for routinely allowing scientists with conflicts of interest to serve on the advisory committees that influence vaccine policy.

In 2016, The Hill published a letter by more than a dozen senior CDC scientists charging that the agency was participating in research fraud.

In 2010, there was a scandal where Congress found that the CDC had deliberately manipulated scientific documents about the safety of Washington D.C. drinking water.

The CDC seems to have a cozy relationship with Pfizer.

I mentioned earlier that the CDC has said that they would be investigating the death of 13-year old boy Jacob Clynick; see page 2 of these emails, which were obtained by Judicial Watch. That was over 6 months ago.

More examples of kids whose deaths are being ignored here.

Like the FDA, the CDC is also pushing for boosters, despite no supporting clinical data. In fact, they don’t seem data-driven at all. As Dr. Marty Makary put it:

Remarkably, despite having 21,000 employees, the CDC is still unable to provide the key COVID statistics we need to inform public policy. The agency has not released data on natural-immunity reinfections, and chief Rochelle Walensky falsely said on “Fox News Sunday” that with Omicron, “prior infection protects you less well” than vaccination. I’d love to see that data.

Most alarming, two years into the pandemic, the CDC has not been able to tell us how many people are in the hospital for COVID versus with COVID. Reports from New York City and Miami Jackson Memorial Hospital are among many finding that the majority of COVID hospitalizations are primarily for other conditions — but when patients are admitted and tested, they’re found to have an incidental COVID infection.


More on how Covid deaths are counted and manipulated: here.

Speaking of a lack of data, why do we still not know what proportion of the U.S. population has already been infected with SARS-CoV-2? It wouldn’t be that difficult to randomly sample people for evidence of past infection. Wouldn’t this be useful information to know?

Reminder that the CDC budget is over $8 billion.

Then there’s evidence of sheer ineptitude. Here was an account from biologist Joanna Masel, on how frustrating it was to deal with CDC staff:

@JoannaMasel

Many are torn between frustration and sympathy for
@CDCgov
. Given all the things CDC are failing to get done (eg rapid data dissemination and analysis), I am shocked by what they DO they spend time on. sharing observations from my interactions with CDC staff. 1/14


More here:

@alexandrosM
Break up the CDC.

Data gathering and transparent reporting should be firewalled from advocacy.

They have a treasure trove of data, and they use it to p-hack propaganda. Anything useful we learn is from Israel, UK, and Scandinavia.

And disease is sure not getting controlled.


By the way, the CDC director recently hired a PR firm. They’re gonna need it.

The NIH & NIAID

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIAID is supposed to conduct and support “basic and applied research to better understand, treat, and ultimately prevent infectious, immunologic, and allergic diseases.”

Since Dr. Anthony Fauci took charge of the NIAID in 1984, the prevalence of chronic allergic and autoimmune disease has only increased.

Instead of researching the causes of this explosion of allergic conditions, Fauci has funneled most of his $6.1 billion budget to the development of new drugs. He promotes the relationship with Pharma as a “public-private partnership” (see 34:06 here).

Pharmaceutical companies routinely pay extravagant royalties to Dr. Fauci and his employees at NIAID.

See:

Biomedical Research:NIH Should Publicly Report More Information about the Licensing of Its Intellectual Property

Report: Researchers mumon financial interests

Royalty payments to staff researchers cause new NIH troubles

Information for NIH Inventors

The way it works is as follows: first, NIAID begins the process of drug discovery in its own labs. Then clinical trials for these drugs are farmed out to a network of some 1300 academic “principal investigators” (PIs), or researchers, who conduct the human trials at university-affiliated research centers and hospitals. These PIs receive funds from the NIAID. Then after these researchers develop a potential new drug, NIAID transfers some or all of its share of the intellectual property to private pharmaceutical companies, through HHS’s Office of Technology Transfer. The researchers (PIs) and their universities can also claim their share of the patents, which cements their loyalty to the NIAID (and Fauci).

Once the drug gets to market, the pharmaceutical company pays royalties through an informal scheme that allows Pharma to funnel profits from the drug sales to the NIAID officials who worked on the product. This is essentially a form of legalized kickbacks.

So Dr. Fauci and his employees personally pocket money from drugs they helped developed at taxpayers’ expense.

Emails that were obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request made by the group American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) revealed that Fauci and the NIH director Francis Collins colluded to shut down dissenting views on lockdowns from highly credentialed epidemiologists.

Image

The three “fringe” epidemiologists referenced in the email were professors from Harvard, Oxford and Stanford (here, here, and here).

These three epidemiologists had launched the Great Barrington Declaration, which called for focused protection of high-risk individuals rather than blanket lockdowns. To date, tens of thousands of scientists and doctors have signed the declaration.

Collins apparently felt that he knew all he needed to know about lockdowns, and didn’t want to hear the opinions of other scientists or doctors.

The response to the above email from Fauci referenced a piece from WIRED as an example of the “quick and devastating published takedown” that Collins wanted.

Fauci’s behavior in response to the COVID pandemic has some striking similarities to how he handled the AIDS crisis; he has focused on vaccines or expensive drugs (like remdesivir) that would help make pharmaceuticals money, over other interventions like cheap health measures that people could take to improve their health outcomes, or generic drugs that are off patent (would not make Pharma any money) that could treat COVID.

His role in the Wuhan lab leak needs to be investigated. At the very least, we should all be asking why the NIH was trying to conceal any documents related to the lab leak; The Intercept had to sue for their release.

If even a fraction of this were true, it begs the question: how are we not hearing more about this in the media?

That gets into what’s wrong with our media.

Bonus: Explanations for why we are not hearing about this in the media

This section is a little different. It’s not here as part of the evidence for vaccine adverse events being underreported per say, but I thought I needed to address how it could be that we haven’t heard much about this from the media.

If Covid vaccines were actually harming and even killing significant numbers of people, how is it possible that this wouldn’t get covered in the media? This begs for some kind of explanation.

Censorship, and the merger of state, media, and tech
So much could be said about the amount of money pharmaceutical companies spend in advertising, but I suggest you listen to the aforementioned podcast with Dr. John Abramson, if you haven’t already. Here’s a summary.

......


Much more at link.

This is some disturbing shit - the first instance of formal board-enforced Soviet-style repression of COVID dissidents under the guise of mental illness that I'm aware of in the US.

Board orders evaluation of Ellsworth physician
January 12, 2022 by Anne Berleant on Front Page Stories, Health, News

ELLSWORTH — Local physician Meryl J. Nass must undergo a psychological evaluation, the state Board of Licensure in Medicine determined Jan. 11. The order comes after the board received complaints that Nass was providing misinformation about treatment options for COVID-19 and vaccinations against the coronavirus.
Nass was first licensed by the board on Aug. 22, 1997, and practices internal medicine in Ellsworth.

In a statement to The American on Tuesday, Nass wrote: “Despite my request for the Board to specify what constitutes misinformation, they have never done so. Despite my request to the Board asking under what authority they can punish physicians for a crime they have declined to define, there has been no answer.”

The state board received a first complaint against Nass on Oct. 26, 2021, based on content in a video interview with Nass and found on her website, according to the board’s findings. A second complaint was lodged on Nov. 7, 2021, alleging Dr. Nass was spreading misinformation on Twitter.

Nass publicly advocated the use of hydroxychloroquine as an effective treatment against COVID-19. She also admitted to lying and providing a non-COVID diagnosis — Lyme disease — so a COVID-positive patient could fill a prescription for hydroxychloroquine. Hydroxychloroquine has been deemed ineffective in the treatment of COVID-19 and potentially dangerous by the Food and Drug Administration.

Nass said, “I documented the suppression of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine in June 2020, revealing that the CDC had shown that chloroquine successfully killed SARS-CoV-1 in vitro as early as 2005, and NIH showed it worked against MERS (another deadly coronavirus) in 2014.”

The state board ordered Nass must submit to a neuropsychological evaluation by a board-selected psychologist on Feb. 1. It also subpoenaed Nass for three individual patient records. But, according to the order, the records she provided “consisted of text messages with individuals who were not the patient and sparse handwritten notes that do not comply with applicable standards of practice.”

Nass on Tuesday said, “The Board today suspended my medical license and ordered me to submit to a psychological examination, when my primary crime appears to be treating COVID more successfully than the NIH’s recommendations allow.”

The state board is permitted to order the evaluation under state law in the interests of public health and safety, the order notes. The order’s preliminary findings conclude: “The information received by the Board demonstrates that Dr. Nass is or may be unable to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety to her patients by reason of mental illness, alcohol intemperance, excessive use of drugs, narcotics, or as a result of a mental or physical condition interfering with the competent practice of medicine.”

Chilling.

Especially because so many people I know have told me that the reason that they believe COVID vaccines are great and early treatment is quackery is because this is "the consensus of doctors."

That is final-stage Lysenkoism.

As for the McDonalds and Coca-Cola vaccine messaging upthread, that is outreach to the black and hispanic demographics who are the least likely to be vaccinated. It's sinister but there is at least an ostensible reason for it.

The latest Ontario, Canada data shows that the fully vaccinated are the Omicron superspreaders.

Left off (which does support your point btw):

About this data
For COVID-19 cases by vaccination status, vaccination status is limited to Health Canada approved vaccines.

Rate per 100,000 (7-day average) is the average rate of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 for each vaccination status for the previous 7 days as noted.

Rate of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 is calculated by dividing the number of cases for a vaccination status, by the total number of people with the same vaccination status, and then multiplying by 100,000.

The rate for Unknown vaccination status cannot be calculated.

It could be a warning...

Something along the lines of "Eat too much of this shit and covid will fuck you up."


(Cos McDonalds and Coca Cola are great like that.)

Yes, they're quite invested in the health of their customers.

This video is by far the best, most sober and 'common sense' response/approach to covid madness by county/school representatives, at least out of the ones I've encountered so far.

Not all functionaries/representatives are captured cogs, at least not in the U.S.

Virginia returning to a semblance of rationality.

I don't give a shit what 'color' this Governor represents. This is the only issue that matters right now.

UK Celebrity chef Antony Worrall Thompson has put a sign on his pub the Greyhound in Oxfordshire welcoming the unvaccinated: “We do not discriminate. Race, gender, age, disability, vaccinated or unvaccinated. Everyone equal here. Everyone welcome.”
