I could not find a version of this story other than the CBC one. But its definitely worth the click.
CBC- Health expert urges caution after blood-testing firm claims ‘pandemic is over’ in Alberta hamlet
More than 1,200 people in the hamlet of La Crete, 700 kilometres northwest of Edmonton, paid $100 each in mid-December to have their blood tested for antibodies by Ichor Blood Services, a private lab specimen collection company based in Calgary. The tests found antibodies in most of the 991 unvaccinated individuals who were tested. Ichor CEO Mike Kuzmickas said he believes the results show La Crete is relatively safe from COVID-19. “The pandemic is over in La Crete; they have reached herd immunity,” Kuzmickas told CBC News in an email last month.
Read the whole thing.
Funny how the CBC “expert” seems to have no idea or knowledge of these studies.
Medical “experts” just can’t let go of “you must be jabbed to be safe” can they?
That’s because one can’t be “too safe”, right?
What kind of weirdo names his blood testing company “Ichor”?
Well, that would be the kind of weirdo who likes Greek mythology and attempts to be “humourous” about it.
Ichor flowed through the veins of Greek gods so actually it’s a pretty good name.
Those with a previous infection will have IgA antibodies which are located in the mucous. Because none of the vaccines are nasal sprays, those vaccinated do not have the IgA antibodies.
Those antibodies are the early warning system and helps prevent an infection better than anything the vaccines can offer.
These types of studies do not pick up those antibodies. Usually they focus on IgG antibodies in the serum. Those are the ones that prevent severe disease more than prevent infection. The vaccines were never going to be 100% effective for infection.
We need a nasal spray vaccine. VLP based please. Search that one too
alla unme, thanks for the confirmation. So how is that truck you bought running these daz?
Which one? The one with a flat tire, or the one missing a wheel?
Oh, gee whiz…thanks Dr. Allan S.
I am so glad that you know everything.
The one with the driver missing 99% of his brain cells.
One issue with the nasal spray vaxx is that while more effective at getting to the main location of the infection, if someone sneezes or blows their nose afterwards, they might eject most of it.
That’s a good point, but there has to be a way to mitigate?
I’ve seen discussions between physicians about this very issue. No one seemed to know how to mitigate it.

Here’s a pill that triggers a mucosal response in the small intestine. But does that translate to nasal antibodies?
The infectious diseases expert quoted in the article disputes the idea that previous infection provides immunity. Well, neither do the vaccines. She’s blowing smoke out of her butt when she claimed that 3 doses of this leaky vaccine provide “good protection”. I understand that quite a number of Israelis would be very surprised to hear this.
The one posing for the photo? Like I pretended to be an expert for a CBC propaganda piece.
In other news, CTV Tara Nelson wet in the crotch over push in Alberta for penalising the unvaccinated like in Quebec.

The LAST thing we need is another useless COVID vaccination. Face it. We have NEVER made an effective vaccine against Coronaviruses. Honest, responsible, biological scientists said so … back in April of 2020.

That nasal spray vaccine you speak of is nigh impossible to develop. You are essentially attempting to provide a vaccination that sits on “the skin”. Good luck. If you accomplish this feat … you’ll probably win MULTIPLE Nobel Prizes. But when you DON’T accomplish it … or repeat the creation of a fading-fading- – – – gone! Vaccine … then you will have LOST the public once and for all. The politicized science of “Health Officials” will be summarily dismissed as complete bullshit.

Here’s a pill that triggers a mucosal response in the small intestine. Does this translate to antibodies in the nasal area?
The infectious diseases expert quoted in the article disputes the idea that previous infection provides immunity.
I can only speak for myself.. I got the flu a couple of times 30 odd years ago.. Fevor, chills, the usual stuff.. Then I just didn’t get it anymore.. Im serious.. If I get it I have no symptoms to speak of..
So it would seem that some people can produce some sort of near immunity from catching the flu..
Im one of them..
1200 people is a hamlet?
In Southern Ontario that’s the population of a single family home in certain parts of Bramladesh.
In Alberta, that means unincorporated. Sherwood Park was a hamlet with over 10,000 residents. It was unincorporated in the County of Strathcona for years and had most services a small city would have. Then the City of Edmonton made plans to annex the area. Sherwood Park went from hamlet to city overnight.
I tried to get my employer to understand the concept of antibody testing and natural immunity.
The doctor that they hired to tell them what they wanted to hear wasn’t having any of it.

Here’s a link to an interview with Mike Kuzmickas (ichor).
Talks about the results in LA Crete
L – excellent interview with the C.E.O. of Ichor
Ichor also said that 10% of the vaccinated people in Alberta that they tested a few months back had zero antibodies.
Textbook case in “How Not to Journalist”
“A private blood-testing company’s claim that the COVID-19 “pandemic is over” in a northern Alberta community could lull residents into a false sense of security, says an infectious diseases expert.”
If you want a false sense of security, try flashing your triple jabbed QR code as you enter restaurants, gymnasiums, seniors homes, or at work in a vaccination only occupation, etc. while you are currently contagious. Not worth the electricity used to display it on your smartphone.
Jabbed or unjabbed isn’t the question. It is whether you are currently infected enough to spread it to others.
