So Basically The Same

Global- 

Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole is the latest federal party leader to promise a national system for proving residents have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

O’Toole says he would work with provinces to devise a national proof-of-vaccination system, adding such a setup would help Canadians during international travel.

O’Toole says he wants 90 per cent of eligible residents vaccinated against COVID-19, and is pledging to cover the cost of time off for employees to get a shot, free transportation to vaccine clinics and a national booster shot strategy that would initially target seniors and the immunocompromised.

Anyone have anything different on the table? 

Lies, Damn Lies and Horseshit News

Zerohedge- Rolling Stone ‘Horse Dewormer’ Hit-Piece Debunked After Hospital Says No Ivermectin Overdoses

Although Dr. Jason McElyea is not an employee of NHS Sequoyah, he is affiliated with a medical staffing group that provides coverage for our emergency room. With that said, Dr. McElyea has not worked at our Sallisaw location in over 2 months.

NHS Sequoyah has not treated any patients due to complications related to taking ivermectin. This includes not treating any patients for ivermectin overdose. All patients who have visited our emergency room have received medical attention as appropriate. Our hospital has not had to turn away any patients seeking emergency care. We want to reassure our community that our staff is working hard to provide quality healthcare to all patients. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify this issue and as always, we value our community’s support.

And

McElyea is also listed as working at Integris Grove Hospital in Grove, OK as a general family practitioner – not in the ER. A phone call to them provided no insight as to any ivermectin overdoses, however the gentleman who answered the phone sounded quite amused. What’s more, Grove, OK – with a population of 7,129, had just 14 aggravated assaults in all of 2019 according to the FBI’s latest data. We somehow doubt that ‘gunshot victims were lining up outside the ER,’ while just 11 ivermectin related hospital cases have been reported in the entire state since the beginning of May.

Today in Declining Efficacy

Nine positive cases, one death due to COVID-19 outbreak at Kamloops Seniors Village, An internal Interior Health memo obtained by KTW on Aug. 27 noted there are potential COVID-19 exposure events at three long-term care homes in Kamloops.

A Chicken in every Pot

Conrad Black goes over the party platforms.

Erin O’Toole’s platform is imaginative, but Maxime Bernier is the most impressive leader. The Liberals offer plenty of extra spending but don’t say how it will be paid for.

Bleary-eyed and almost gasping for air, I can confirm to the 99.9 per cent of Canadians who don’t read the platforms of political parties at the onset of an election campaign that they are not missing a great deal in profound thought, stylish composition, or uplifting incitements to patriotic exaltation of the soul. I did not go beyond the Liberals and Conservatives because they are the only parties that have any chance of forming a government, and in any case I protest against the exclusion from the debates of Maxime Bernier who is probably the most impressive of the party leaders and has the best program in many respects. He is being discriminated against by the debates commission.

It Should be Over

But it’s not.

They got the level of compliance they wanted/needed. If there’s still a problem its not because enough people didn’t “step up” or “buy in” to the vaccines. The same can be said about the masks and the lockdowns. The general public has done more than its fair share to help and not without considerable cost and risk to themselves.  Continuing to gas light, demonize, bully and intimidate them will not improve the competency of the leaders involved, or the efficacy of the injections. Nor will it fix a health care system that we all know has been broken for generations now .

Drowning in Debt

Small businesses have reopened their doors after a series of lockdowns, but they are still struggling under heavy debt loads.

CFIB says the average business owes close to $177,000 thanks to pandemic restrictions and closures. For businesses in the hospitality industry, that amount clocks in at $333,174 — almost double the average.

“The actual repayment of this debt will be the next big obstacle that small businesses will face, especially as many are still seeing a slow pick-up in revenues, capacity restrictions and uncertainty heading into the fall and winter months,”

No worries, the new segregation economy should fix that right up.

It Doesn’t Solve Every Problem?

There’s the theory and then there’s reality.
Bill Belichick on the NFL experience.

 

You guys keep talking about that, and I would just point out that I don’t know what the number is. I mean, you guys can look it up. You have the access to a lot of information, but the number of players and coaches and staff members that have been infected by COVID in this training camp [around the NFL] who have been vaccinated is a pretty high number, so I wouldn’t lose sight of that.

and

There’ve been a number of, quite a high number I would say, of players who have had the virus who have been vaccinated, so your implication that vaccination solves every problem, I would say that has not been substantiated based on what’s happened in training camp [throughout the NFL] this year. That’s all.

“Unvaccinated”

Hey Israel you’re screwing up the narrative.

Okay, that’s just cases it’s not like there’s also a spike in hospitalizations, wait a minute…  But that’s not ICU admissions, those are still…  Well at least more people aren’t dying.  Right? Hang on, have they been lying to us about all those third doses they said they’re handing out?

The problem must be either climate change or racism.

Intimidation not Persuasion

It’s not so much that they’re brainwashing people as they’re bullying and scaring the shit out of them so they comply.

The common understanding of propaganda is that it is intended to brainwash the masses. Supposedly, people get exposed to the same message repeatedly and over time come to believe in whatever nonsense authoritarians want them to believe.

And yet authoritarians often broadcast silly, unpersuasive propaganda.

Political scientist Haifeng Huang writes that the purpose of propaganda is not to brainwash people, but to instill fear in them.

Beatings will continue until morale improves.
