Correcting the Correction
The other day we had a few people in the comments section overly excited about the retraction of a paper by the Heart Institute on the risks of myocarditis. There was a mistake in the paper but a more detailed look reveals similar risks nonetheless.
While we’re on the subject, The UK Government’s own data does not support the claims made for vaccine effectiveness/safety.
Adverse events reporting in Ontario continues to increase in all age brackets.
And for some reason showing your papers on patios and in restaurants in Quebec isn’t having the desired effect.

Worse Than The Disease
This clip of Australian police shooting rubber bullets into the backs of citizens as they run away was making the rounds a couple of days ago. For those of us not from Australia the significance of the location was missed. Its a sacred place, David Bell explains…
This is far worse than the disease.

A Winnipeg woman involved in a cycling accident is offering a play-by-play of what she experienced while waiting nine and a half hours for care in the Health Science Centre emergency department.
Nine hours for a few stitches and some concussion tests. What’s worse is what she saw while she was there.

Asia Times-Indonesia jumps the gun on Ivermectin as Covid cure
Thohir and presidential chief of staff Moeldoko have publicly promoted Ivermectin as an effective treatment for the disease despite the World Health Organization (WHO) warning that it should only be deployed under certain clinical settings.

British Columbians should brace for a tough fall and winter from the pandemic and not expect a return to anything resembling normal until some time next year, the Provincial Health Officer says.[…]
she said it’s likely the disease will be making people extremely sick for the next couple of years. […]
One of those groups that has become most vulnerable to the latest wave has been people in long-term care. There have been several outbreaks in these facilities since August. According to the latest government report, 37 people have died from COVID in facilities where outbreaks remain active. Two died in one home where the outbreak is over.

Pandemic Mandates: A Libertarian Perspective
Someone who is infected with a dangerous contagious virus spread by respiration is a danger to others in their immediate vicinity. Their exhaled viral aerosols are an initiation of force against an individual who does not wish to be infected. Therefore force used to keep this person away from others is potentially justified. However, the force must deal with credible imminent danger not speculative danger.

Post Election Steyn
That is honorable and impressive. But they made similar comparisons with flyboy McCain and choomer Obama in 2008, and it didn’t work, because in politics “character” has been supplanted by attitude. And in any case, in his post-military career, Mr O’Toole has apparently acquired all the same views on “climate change” and whatnot as Justin, albeit without the shoe polish, which would come in useful for covering up the lack of principle and policies, not to mention the general shiftiness when asked a perfectly predictable question.
I would not have thought it possible to come up with a more hollow “leader” less persuasive on the hustings than Andrew Scheer, but O’Toole actually announced live on stage the other day:
This is not your father’s Conservative Party.
No, it’s your father’s idiot non-savant Greta-following granddaughter’s Conservative Party. Who needs that?

Companies are Getting Rid of Drug Tests Because They Can’t Find Enough Workers
In the midst of a global labour shortage, employers around the world are doing away with drug tests in a desperate bid to attract more job applicants, fill more roles and retain more workers.
A survey, conducted by staffing firm ManpowerGroup and released this week, indicated that 9 percent of more than 45,000 employers worldwide were eliminating job screenings or drug tests as an incentive to “attract and retain in-demand talent.” That equates to some 4,050 employers, from 43 countries, who are willing to turn a blind eye to workers’ recreational drug use if it means filling vacant positions.
Check Your Onions
Gentlemen, if you’ve had the jab you might want to keep an eye on your onions. Reports indicate some potential problems.
Head on over to the open VAERS database click on the red “Search VAERS reports” box, type”covid19″ into the vax name box and “testicular” in the description box (you can leave all the other boxes empty) and hit the search button. You will be treated to all sorts of interesting stories such as:
VAERS ID: 1674289
AGE: 41 SEX: M
Intense aching in left testicle that began within an hour of receiving dose 2 of the vaccine; body aches; lethargy; headache; This is a spontaneous report from a contactable consumer, the patient. A 41-year-old male patient received the second dose of BNT162b2 (PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 mRNA VACCINE; Lot Number: EW0179) via an unspecified route of administration in the left arm on 05May2021 at 15:15 (at the age of 41-years-old) as a single dose for COVID-19 immunisation. The patient had no past medical …
You can do the same thing with “erectile” in the description box for more harrowing tales like:
VAERS ID: 1675035
ONSET: 4 days AGE: 20 SEX: M
Coldness in my left arm, balls were achy for two days, got little red marks on my arms, a little blood when I wiped one time, blood in nose, muscle spasms, pain in fingertips, a twitch in my right eye that comes and goes, can’t get hard, left thumb turned blue for a second, fingers were white when I got out of the shower, back pain.
Now it’s important to note that the VAERS system does not confirm the cause of things all by itself but it is a piece of the puzzle and an early warning system. There is a CDC disclaimer in another red box in the top left corner of the page that goes over what it does and does not do. People like to cherry pick a sentence out of it here and there but really you should read the whole thing.

The “Unvaccinated”
Because of mass vaccination, there is now a large part of the population that exerts increasing S-directed immune selection pressure that provides more infectious variants to gain a strong competitive advantage and reproduce more effectively on a background of highly S-specific neutralizing antibodies.
One of the things about Geert Vanden Bossche is that, unlike the bureaucratic “experts” running the show, his predictions have been quite accurate.
At the end of this piece he talks about early treatment. There’s a lot of good studies on a lot of products that are being ignored.

Elections Canada last night calculated turnout in Monday’s general election was only the second-worst since Confederation. An estimated 58.9 percent of electors cast ballots compared to the record low 58.8 percent in 2008: “We will have to consider this.”
Of course Butt’s is taking this as evidence of liberal genius.

Men caught smuggling KFC into lockdown-hit Auckland
The pair’s risky late night food run means they now face heavy punishments under New Zealand’s tough anti-Covid laws. Fines can reach up to NZ$4,000 and some offenders can even face prison sentences of up to six months.
The men are not the first New Zealanders whose fast-food cravings have landed them in trouble with authorities. Last week a 20-year-old man was charged after he posted a video on Tiktok showing him leaving Auckland and purchasing a large amount of food from McDonalds.
Maybe if it was Popeye’s, but KFC?
Dream vs Reality
I’m a Teacher. I’m About to Quit.
The MAGA students are getting worse. They’ve always complained about safe spaces. The classroom is supposed to be one. They don’t like that.
They’ve turned classrooms into one of the most dangerous places in the world. Imagine a bunch of people with different views and experiences, all randomly thrown together in a room and asked to talk to each other while learning how to debate topics like abortion and global warming. Now let some of those students have guns, and add a deadly virus.I’ve got a handful of straight up MAGA assholes in my classes this year. They’re anti-masking, anti-vaxxing conspiracy theorists.
How bad are they?
About Last Night
Michael Malice had an interesting point while watching the Canadian election, that there are a number of countries all over the world who are experiencing the same thing. Elections in which the voters don’t budge. His explanation as to why is, “the collapse of political discourse, fewer and fewer people listening to one another”. This is true on both the macro level, Canada, and the micro level, the conservative party. The log jams are getting tighter and no one is breaking through.
Then there’s the talk of western separation that always comes up when we look at the electoral map and see tory blue from the Manitoba border to the rocky mountains. It’s a nice dream but what exactly do we think would change if the conservatives everyone just voted for were in charge? Virtually nothing.
Partisans are curious creatures for some reason they seem to think they’ve got a secret deal with their chosen leader or that somehow what that leader stands for doesn’t apply to them. “Oh, he doesn’t really mean it”, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
O’Toole should be taken at his word, he does mean it. A lot of conservative voters probably don’t even realize it but they just voted in favour of quotas for electric vehicles, carbon tax’s, vaccine passports and mandates and a whole slough of other goofy policies straight out of the liberals playbook. Trudeau may only have won a minority government but he won on almost every single important issue before the first ballot was cast.
The job of the opposition party is to oppose, not agree with the government of the day. If you’re not going to do your damn job don’t expect to win elections.
