Open letter to AB Premier Jason Kenney

Baiting The Left Baiting the Right Wuhan Flu 45 Comments

Dennis L. Modry BSc, MD, MSc, FRCS, FACCP, FACS is the Clinical Associate Professor, Cardiothoracic Surgery at the University of Alberta. He is also the Founder and Director of the Heart, Lung and Heart-Lung Transplant Program and was the Director of the Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (1984 – 2015). He recently sent a letter to Alberta Premier Kenney:

The evidence that you provided for this lockdown is both suspect and incomplete and does a disservice to Albertans who deserve more from you. A major tenet of the Hippocratic Oath that physicians like myself ascribe to is “First Do No Harm”, which is ignored by this imposed lockdown.

I acknowledge with reverence those Albertans who have passed on from COVID-19, just as I acknowledge many others like Jerry Dunham who have died because lockdowns prevented their access to healthcare for very serious non-COVID-19 illnesses and conditions. I acknowledge the many with despair who have died from suicide and drug overdose. We now know that lockdowns are more lethal than COVID-19, and must learn from what has transpired to ensure we do not continue to make the same mistakes. Were you not informed of these facts, or did you simply ignore them?

Wuhan Flu: We’re From The Government

Democrats Wuhan Flu 47 Comments

And we’re here to replace your medical expertise with our infallible bureaucracy;

Governor Cuomo’s inflexible order, which recognizes no other criteria but a PCR test of dubious clinical value more than ten days after symptoms clear.
 
Mom now not only has dementia but is going insane. I speak with her four times a day via the Alexa Echo Show video unit I had installed in her room. Every call is the same.
 
“Where am I? Why am I here? When can I go home? I want to die.”
 
After days of fighting my way up the chain of command, I finally found a responsible hospital administrator willing to speak the truth to me. I will refrain from publishing his name for his own protection. He told me that he has “tons” of asymptomatic patients across his hospital system occupying expensive and badly needed hospital beds who cannot be released to rehab or nursing homes because their PCR tests are still coming back positive. Some for months.
 
Every doctor in the hospital realizes that these patients are neither sick nor contagious. Every medical expert knows that PCR tests are highly prone to trigger on tiny fragments of residual RNA even when there is no communicable disease present.

California Sheeple Are Finally Rising Up!

Baiting The Left Democrats Wuhan Flu 6 Comments

After many months of oppression by their government “officials”, Californians have finally realized what lying, greedy, selfish, incompetent, loathsome, hypocritical individuals these government employees clearly are:

Definite language warning but it’s well worth a listen. Incidentally, here’s Dr. Mark Ghaly, referenced by Mark Geragos in this clip. The Dear Doctor essentially admitted that he and his department “strayed from the truth” in order to prevent all of the restaurants in California from keeping their outdoor dining operating. Here’s some of Ghaly’s fear porn at work.

Update: Listen to Dr. Mark Ghaly’s own words, as he full admits that the public was lied to in order to “keep people staying home”.

Where did these endless lockdowns come from?

Baiting The Left Little Known Facts Wuhan Flu 14 Comments

Against the advice of the W.H.O., a series of politicians have been imposing endless lockdowns on “their” populations.  Such pseudo-incarcerations are always deemed to be “based on data & science” but, in fact, they’re not.  Rather, they’re arbitrary, highly political, and are clearly destroying the livelihoods of large numbers of private sector workers.

How did this all get started?  The idea of lockdowns and social distancing came about from the 2004 science project of a 14 year old girl in Albuquerque named Laura Glass, daughter of Robert J. Glass, a senior scientist at Sandia National Laboratories.  Together, father & daughter and two others published Targeted Social Distancing Designs for Pandemic Influenza in 2006.  This was then championed in federal government circles in 2006-2007 by Dr. Carl Mecher, a Department of Veterans Affairs physician and by February 2007 this approach became official U.S. policy.

While the science behind this paper is arguably sound, it does not take into account the human cost of never-ending lockdowns.  The furthest they go is as follows:

Implementation of social distancing strategies is challenging. They likely must be imposed for the duration of the local epidemic and possibly until a strain-specific vaccine is developed and distributed. If compliance with the strategy is high over this period, an epidemic within a community can be averted. However, if neighboring communities do not also use these interventions, infected neighbors will continue to introduce influenza and prolong the local epidemic, albeit at a depressed level more easily accommodated by healthcare systems.

Even Dr. Mecher had some reservations about applying the lockdown and social distancing policy this year:

Dr. Mecher was a key voice on the “Red Dawn” email chain of public health experts in raising early warnings this year about the coronavirus outbreak and Mr. Trump’s reluctance to embrace shutdowns and social distancing. The shutdown this year is much bigger than Dr. Mecher and others imagined would be necessary or practical. Testing has been limited and some states issued social distancing orders even before confirming the coronavirus was spreading within their borders.

Dr. Markel called it “very gratifying to see our work used to help save lives.” But, he added, “it is also horrifying.”

“We always knew this would be applied in worst-case scenarios,” he said. “Even when you are working on dystopian concepts, you always hope it will never be used.”

It’s too bad that most politicians who have imposed lockdowns and social distancing have been oblivious to the grave human and societal costs of this disastrous policy.

Wuhan Flu: The Best Disinfectant?

Wuhan Flu 44 Comments

via Instapundit: So, is the Covid case “spike” the result of citizens failing to wear masks and “social distance?” Or is it an example of the seasonal susceptibility commonly observed with respiratory viruses as some predicted this past summer.

This paper posits that UVB light stimulates production of cathelicidin and other antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) in the skin. These AMPs are carried by the blood to the respiratory tract and enhance innate respiratory immunity. AMPs are also referred to as “natural antibiotics,” because they protect not only against microbes but also enveloped viruses, including influenza and coronaviruses.
 

The skin and respiratory tract surfaces play a similar role in the body – acting as a barrier between the body and the external world. Many of the same AMPs, including cathelicidin, are produced and act in the skin, the respiratory tract surface, the intestines, and some blood cells. Cathelicidin is carried by the blood.
 
This paper provides additional evidence that exposure to UVB in sunlight or artificial UVB sources, in safe amounts, depending on skin phototype (dark skin might need 5-6 times more exposure than light skin), is necessary for maintaining normal innate immunity. Vitamin D supplements cannot replace UVB exposure.

Brian Lilley;

The Ford government is considering adopting an “immunity passport” to show who has taken a COVID-19 vaccine and will be eligible for certain activities once vaccination becomes widespread. The shocking comments were made by Health Minister Christine Elliott on Tuesday.
 
Elliott was being asked about vaccine distribution including convincing more people to take the shot once it is available.

Restrictions for Thee but not for Me (and my fellow elitists)

The ruling elite in England aren’t even trying to hide their hypocritical rules now:

Senior company executives are among travellers set to be exempt from Covid-19 quarantine restrictions for international arrivals in England, meaning they will not have to self-isolate for up to a fortnight.

Recently signed elite sportspeople, performing arts professionals, TV production staff and journalists will also not have to abide by quarantine restrictions if arriving from a country outside of England’s travel corridor from 4am on Saturday.

One Flu Out Of The Wuhan Nest

Wuhan Flu 21 Comments

You may have already heard about Alina Chan, but there are many other people, out of the spotlight, who deserve credit. They have been working tirelessly this year: reading academic papers, exploring barely known databases, sifting through Chinese media outlets. Their work place is Twitter. Some of them are professional scientists, others have different backgrounds, many use pseudonyms. They have a tendency to ask uncomfortable questions, and probably for this reason they are often blocked by other scientists and accused of promoting conspiracy theories. You may disagree with their unconvential approach, but the truth is that these people behave, to all intents and purposes, like a small scientific community: they search and analyze data, they share and discuss their findings and, more importantly, they make discoveries.

Yes, they do.

Blame The Dead People

We Are All Treaty People Wuhan Flu 57 Comments

Indigenous Services Canada says that, as of Tuesday, there were 4,069 COVID-19 cases on reserves in Canada. Of those, 1,564 were active.
 
In Manitoba, infections of Indigenous people living on and off reserve have surged in recent weeks. First Nations people are also experiencing more severe outcomes, the response team’s data shows.
 
As of Wednesday, there were more than 1,713 active cases among First Nations people on and off reserves in Manitoba. First Nations patients made up 26 per cent of hospitalizations and 45 per cent of people in intensive care.
 
So far, 45 First Nations members in the province have died from COVID-19 — the vast majority in the last couple of weeks. The average age of death was 66, while it was 83 for Manitoba’s overall population. An Indigenous boy under the age of 10 died last weekend.

Kelly Geraldine Malone* (writing for Canadian Press) explains how this is due to things that happened 80 years ago.

Operation Stall Speed

Shiny Pony Wuhan Flu 100 Comments

Brian Lilley;

The federal government has already started running war games on delivering doses of COVID-19 vaccines across Canada, even though doses may not arrive for months and Canadians won’t be fully vaccinated for more than a year. Those are details found in a planning document signed off on by Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Jonathan Vance and obtained by the Sun. […]
 
The military document provides more detail than the Trudeau government has been willing to reveal to the public thus far. Under questioning in the House of Commons or by journalists attending news conferences, the government has given out few details of the vaccine rollout plan, even as other countries make theirs public.
 
“The delivery window is within the first quarter of 2021,” Procurement Minister Anita Anand said in response to questions on timing Tuesday.
 
That means sometime before the end of March 2021. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had himself said that more than half of Canadians could be vaccinated by September 2021 “if all goes to plan.”
 
Now the military is saying the country could “potentially” be vaccinated by the end of next year.
 
It doesn’t inspire confidence.
