Great Healing Forward It's Probably Nothing Let Them Eat Taser 26 Comments

Remember when nearly every medical expert said assured us that the economy will just “recover” from the lockdowns? Inexplicably, a growing number of companies did not get that memo. As for what the future holds, just wait until all those pandemic assistance loans come due.

“We’re seeing bankruptcies up 116 per cent year-over- year,” said Tostenson, and less than 50 per cent of all restaurants in a recent survey were making money.

“A lot of business owners took those loans on the premise (business) would come back,” noted Tostenson. “And it did for a couple of months, but then inflation kicked in.”

The hospitality entities listed in the petition currently owe BMO about $13.6 million, while Bomber Brewing owes $1.25 million, according to the petition. Their monthly debt servicing payments total about $295,000 a month.

A great comment by John”: “Its nothing dancing healthcare workers can’t fix..”

How Big Was the Trucker Protest?

Donna Laframboise;

Having covered landowner protests and dairy farmer protests previously, he knew the drill. Journalists are supposed to talk to people. “I basically went around and said, ‘Why are you here? Why are you here?'” to Freedom Convoy participants. Some of his reporting “kind of got circulated a bit,” he says, which attracted “the online hate crowd.”

A tall, physically imposing man who’s been targeted by animal rights activists in the past, Ian says he isn’t easily intimidated. But the vitriolic blowback – including death threats to the company that prints the Ontario Farmer – was a shock to other staff members.

Brokeback Covid

Even though the medical justification for nearly every Covid abatement measure has fallen away like the layers of an onion over the past two years, a few stubborn holdouts still remain.

The prohibition against lunchtime speaking varied depending on the teacher, according to Stein’s two children, and the parents of current students. (The school has no cafeteria, so lunch is eaten in classrooms.) Stein’s 13-year-old daughter said that, last year, her seventh-grade teacher often played movies like Elf and Coraline while the students ate. But, she said, there were also plenty of days where they simply ate in silence. If the students had to ask the teacher a question, she told me, they had to first don their masks, and then take them off again to continue eating.

During a parade in spring 2022, the band members were all masked. This meant the wind instrument players wore masks with openings in the center so they could blow into their flutes and trumpets and clarinets. Stein told me she felt embarrassed as the children marched by hordes of unmasked townspeople lining the streets.

The Sound Of Settled Science

el gato malo;

i have long been fascinated by the manner in which so much of what we “know” simply “isn’t so.” grand myths and misperceptions proliferate through our culture, our models of the world, and even in our scientific understandings. someone does a bad study, makes some wild claims, and decades go down the tubes as whole fields get led astray into rabbit warrens and the consciousness and belief set of the populace gets wedded to some form of compelling crackpottery or other.

there’s always “data.”

there’s always a loud proclamation.

and because it’s some simple seemingly telling claim, everyone jumps on board. mostly, they want to. people love stuff like this. they love “big, simple facts.”

but a shocking amount of it is just plain bunk generated by slanted study. this is sometimes unwitting, sometimes deliberate, but the effect is always the same:

you get told a big simple fact that is just plain wrong.

Another conspiracy theory takes a win:

Health Canada has issued an advisory and asked distributors to recall masks sold with graphene or biographene in them over potential inhalation risks.

Graphene is comprised of a single layer of carbon atoms and is considered a nanomaterial, meaning it is made of tiny particles, and is reported to have “antiviral and antibacterial properties,” the advisory says.

Health Canada said it conducted a preliminary scientific assessment after becoming aware that masks containing graphene were being sold with COVID-19 health claims and used by adults and children in schools and daycares. Health Canada also believes they may have been distributed for use in health care settings.

The products affected are listed as “face masks labelled as containing graphene or biomass graphene,” the advisory states. Health Canada recommends that Canadians not use masks with the substance and to consult their health-care provider if they have used graphene face masks and have health concerns – such as new or unexplained shortness of breath, discomfort or difficulty breathing.

The specific mask model under review, #SNN200642, is the same model for which Health Canada received a complaint from a concerned citizen raising a question about the potential health risks.

The organization said that their preliminary assessment of available research found that inhaled graphene particles had some potential to cause “early lung toxicity” in rats and other animals, but that the potential for people to inhale graphene particles – and the related health risks – are not yet known, and may vary with based on mask design.

Throughout most of the pandemic, were not treatments like this considered to be the province of lunatic fringe, tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists? Note that the article validates direct clinical experience in this case as opposed to the usual kneejerk condemnation of any treatment that does not take the triple somersault double blind study route. How times have changed.

One can now imagine how much easier Covid could have been to manage if the medical central planners and their media lackeys had promoted the use of disinfectant nasal rinses instead of insisting that, short of vaccination and Tylenol, there was absolutely no treatment whatsoever for Covid.

The company McGhee called was Vancouver-based Ondine Biomedical, which created Steriwave, a technology that involves putting a disinfecting liquid into the nose and then activating it with lights attached to probes to kill viruses lurking in the respiratory system.

Interesting juxtaposition when you look at some past comments from the front man of Kiss. One must, presumably, only engage in the treatments that earn his approval.

Published this month in the Journal Of Virtue Signaling;

We now have the most authoritative estimate of the value provided by wearing masks during the pandemic: approximately zero. The most rigorous and extensive review of the scientific literature concludes that neither surgical masks nor N95 masks have been shown to make a difference in reducing the spread of Covid-19 and other respiratory illnesses.

This verdict ought to be the death knell for mask mandates, but that would require the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the rest of the public health establishment to forsake “the science”—and unfortunately, these leaders and their acolytes in the media seem as determined as ever to ignore actual science.

Another study confirming what nearly everyone observed in the laboratory of real life.

The wearing of masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses had almost no effect at the societal level, according to a rigorous new review of the available research.

“Interestingly, 12 trials in the review, ten in the community and two among healthcare workers, found that wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to influenza-like or COVID-19-like illness transmission,” writes Tom Jefferson, a British epidemiologist and co-author of the Cochrane Library’s new report on masking trials. “Equally, the review found that masks had no effect on laboratory-confirmed influenza or SARS-CoV-2 outcomes. Five other trials showed no difference between one type of mask over another.”

That finding is significant, given how comprehensive Cochrane’s review was.

Better late than never is progress, one supposes, when it comes to the left-wing corporate media. The mantra of “listen to the experts” has less to do with informed consent and more to do with unquestioning obedience coupled with the gaslighting of dissenters. In the end, “team science” just succeeded in wrecking their own credibility.

What we did not properly appreciate is that preferences determine how scientific expertise is used, and that our preferences might be—indeed, our preferences were—very different from many of the people that we serve. We created policy based on our preferences, then justified it using data. And then we portrayed those opposing our efforts as misguided, ignorant, selfish, and evil.

We made science a team sport, and in so doing, we made it no longer science. It became us versus them, and “they” responded the only way anyone might expect them to: by resisting.
