Your Moral and Intellectual Superiors

How’d they do?

Why were Canadian commentators so wrong about the covid-19 crisis?

As Canada’s covid-19 situation crescendos into an unambiguous crisis — with spiking cases breaking daily records and causing overcrowded hospitals, ever-stricter lockdowns provoking ever-greater backlash, and chronic vaccine shortages leading to one of the lowest fully vaccinated populations in the Western world, with some Canadians flying into the United States in search of a shot — few in the Canadian media seem able to offer a coherent explanation for how things got so bad.

Maybe it’s got something to do with this.

  1. Here’s the thing though.. artificially high PCR testing cycles (rumoured to be in the high 30’s to low 40’s in Ontario) are driving a casedemic, and these numbers are used to justify the lockdowns.. are the hospitals being overwhelmed? Certainly not from COVID..

    It would seem the lockdowns are the screen that covers up the decades of mismanagement of health care dollars in our socialized health care system..the real question should be ‘what do we get for our money’ when even a handful of real cases can overwhelm the system?

    1. Not rumoured. Actual. Posted on a research paper. Nobody in Canada is doing less than 35.

      1. Exactly.
        Go to the provincial health websites and they state right there how many cycles they are using.

      2. Under cross examination in court the Manitoba medical microbiologist in charge of testing, we are doing 40 to 45. We bump it up to 45 if it’s negative but we’re pretty sure the person has COVID to avoid a false negative. He estimated only 56% are false positives i.e. not infectious. Better safe than sorry after all.

        1. from the testimony:
          “Finally, it should be noted that some Canadian news agencies have quoted Dr. Bullard as testifying that a positive PCR tests indicates infectivity 99.9% of the time. This is incorrect. Rather, Dr. Bullard testified that a PCR test will detect any viral RNA that is present in a sample 99.9% of the time. However, Dr. Bullard testified that determining whether or not a sample is actually infectious (containing a viable virus, capable of replicating) needs to be confirmed by lab culture. As noted, only 44% of the “positive” samples using a Ct of 18 returned a viable lab culture. Samples tested at a Ct of over 25, according to Dr. Bullard’s report, produced no viable lab cultures.

          Manitoba has confirmed that it utilizes Ct’s of up to 40, and even 45 in some cases. This indicates “cases” resulting from such tests (above a Ct of 25) are almost certainly not actually infectious.”

      3. From what little has been published I believe most PCR tests in Ontario use Ct’s in the range of 40 to 45. Now the CDC is recommending Ct of 28 , without actually stating that a virus sample with a Ct greater than 26-28 is so small it cannot be cultured in lab conditions , yet Herr (Lockdown) Ford , who no doubt is totally clueless soldiers on.

        The health officials in Ontario no doubt know this. These people should be in prison.

        1. CDC is recommending Ct of 28 or less for samples coming from a previously “vaccinated” person. Those not vaxxed get the same 35+ count.

    2. The Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms has done an thorough job at summarizing covid stats for the provinces and territories, including PCR cycling thresholds, mortality rates, deaths by age and more. All the stuff the media does not want you to see, and the government is reluctant to come forth with.
      I take a print out, every time the JCCF updates the figures and I post it at the Post Office, but some Karen (probably a govt. employee) keeps taking it down.
      By the way, the MB government admitted under oath in Court this week that “cases” are not infections”. Duh.

      1. GRM … many thanks for that link.

        From the data … using the approximate population of Ontario of roughly 14 million.

        Age Group Survival Percentage
        40-59 ….. 99.997%
        60-79 …….you have a 99.98% probability of surviving COVID.
        Over 80….. 99.96% survival

        Pretty good odds I would say.

        In addition the statistics across all age groups for COVID is the same as seasonal flu. The main difference appears to be the infection rate , but even that is suspect given the PCR Ct’s of 40-45

    3. All countries throughout the world have been using the unreliable PCR test for case diagnosis. The has been great variabiity in cycle count and post-mortem assertion of cause. Effectively, the PCR test is useless, some European doctors have even called this a “PCR test pandemic”,

      I see Johnson in the UK is preparing to rev up lockdown again, given his warning about the “Indian (brown not red) strain”. One hesitates to ask what all this fuss about vaccination was if it didn’t protect you.

      Maybe the politicians and government experts actually have no idea and are just making up shit as they go along. Maybe they over-reacted to initial reports of a killer flu which just turned out to be a slightly worse flu than normal. Maybe they should have kept their previously develope, traditional approach based plans, rther than throw them all out at the behest of the WHIO in favour of the Chinese Communist Party method.

  2. The fear porn is working. I found the True Believers more aggressive in pushing the COVID dogma. Actually threatening violence if you refuse to submit. I feel safer around suicide vest wearing types.

    1. Turned on CBC this morning and some retired ER doc was being interviewed about the situation in Winnipeg. Going on and on and on about how they (the politicians) didn’t act quick enough, didn’t lockdown hard enough, even went to say how the politicians themselves were seen in the Leg not wearing a mask (so says the idiot doc on CBC also not wearing a mask). I got to thinking. “Who and why is this idiot doc, whom I have never seen before and spouting nothing but “the politicians failed us” stories getting so much airtime”
      The answer was at the end. She said that nothing should be opened up until Covid was down to zero. That was the answer. One of those Soros-Gates Covid-Zero freaks that are shilling and whoring for the Great Reset.

  3. On June 15th the USA will have been fully reopened for one month. Cases will be much lower than now and I want all these assholes to shut up and reopen Canada. Saskatchewan will lead the way.

  4. Whose call is it to designate the number of cycles? Is this the Fed’s? I know individual provinces could decide for themselves, but I suspect they are too scared to do anything but “follow the leader.” Ford had better start asking questions of his medical advisers. I am disgusted by the current misguided policies.

  5. Every one of those commentators is a chocolate starfish.

    Cohen might be the worst. Can you imagine writing any of his dreck and actually showing your face in public? Not to mention all the shit he throws at Americans while never once thanking them for his daily security. If he ever gives a compliment he provides 3 insults.
    If some Redneck Peckerwood fed him hot lead I’d laugh out loud.

    1. Cohen has had his tongue up the Democrats’ ass crack for so long he actually believes it tastes like chocolate.

  6. Too many Canadians thought that voting for Trudeau and the Liberals was clever.

    They were stupid then and they still are, so nothing will change.

    1. Too many Canadians thought that voting for Trudeau and the Liberals was clever.

      And they will continue doing so, while considering those who didn’t to be completely pig ignorant.

  7. Anyone else have a problem with that “Switch Health” “ASMO” portal? I have sent the potlickers several e-mails, and received nought but a useless automated response. Calling their phone number puts me on endless musical hold. I know it’s a Liberal boondoggle, but shouldn’t they at least make a pretense of competency?

    1. Thank you, that was a great read. It seemed intuitively obvious at the beginning of the pandemic that she was right, but she nailed it down, much to her credit, and got the Dr Fauci types to finally admit they were wrong. Of course they didn’t admit it right out loud, more like a stealth edit on a CDC website.

      Congratulations to Fauci for funding the creation of a virus genetically engineered to be highly contagious in humans.

    2. Wow. Good read. I tell people don’t fly, you’re breathing recycled air. And cabin air filters, like big round car filters full of dustbunnies and heaven knows what else.

      1. Are you a Aircraft Maintenance Engineer?? Thought not.
        Better study up on aircraft before you make stupid statements.

        Air is not recycled. You might get sick from a passenger hacking, sneezing and wiping his hands on the armrest. When you get to your seat, take out a handiwipe and wipe down everything you might touch, can never be too clean.

          1. My family are in aviation, pilots, aircraft maintenance engineers so yes – more knowledge than some frequent flyer putting forth what he thinks but doesnt know.

  8. I couldnt care less about no symptom cases. If or not if they are accurate. The few mentions of more through testing of supposed case positives, showed something like 99% false. Untrue.

    Even deaths Im suspicious of.

    Why in the states do we have such radical supposed CoV deaths per capita, 100 thousand, 1 million. The difference between Florida, a older population, vs New York, land of Hero Saint Andrew Cuomo. NY is 100% higher.

    NY is 1,000% higher than Vermont, or Utah. How can that be?
    Somethings up.
    But close inspection, investigation is poison to politicians. “Oh we did great”
    “Really, lets look in…”
    “No no ….We’ll circle back…next question…”

    Im so old I get a Vietnam War vibe out of all the BS out of this. Instead of dutiful Generals going with the program, we got a 99% Scientists, Med/Pharma Industrial Complex saying victory is only two weeks and $5 trillion away.
    Meanwhile the 92% Journolist stenographers carry more Democrat water than than Mississippi .

  9. Roxham Road goes both ways. Come on down and stop into the CVS and get your jab. Don’t forget to thank Trump for his foresight in setting up the US to be where we are.

    We would have been even further ahead if the FDA hadn’t put the vaccine approval on pause until the friggin *day* after the election in order to help Biden.

  10. One of America’s moral superiors………

    https://thehill.com/blogs/in-the-know/553490-bill-maher-tests-positive-for-covid-19

    “HBO’s Bill Maher has tested positive for COVID-19, despite being fully vaccinated, his show announced Thursday. Maher’s show, “Real Time with Bill Maher,” said in a statement posted to Twitter that the host tested positive during a weekly testing of all employees. He is asymptomatic and “feels fine,” the statement said.”

    “…despite being fully vaccinated…”

    1. I’ve been told part of the point of the vaccine is that even if you get Covid it won’t turn into anything serious because you’re body has immunity.

      Bill has no symptoms.

      1. We’ve been told lots of things…….

        “Canada’s risk is much, much lower than that of many countries. It’s going to be rare.”
        Theresa Tam, Jan. 31, 2020

        “What we worry about is actually the potential negative aspects of wearing a mask, where people are not protecting their eyes, or other aspects of where the virus could enter your body, and that gives you a false sense of confidence.”
        Theresa Tam

        “The evidence to date is that this is not easily transmitted between people.”
        Dr. Barbara Yaffe, Ontario’s Associate Medical Officer, Jan. 25, 2020

        “The system is working. Ontarians can rest assured that the province’s integrated health care system today is far more prepared to respond to any potential health risks than in the past.”
        Christine Elliott, Ontario’s Minister of Health, Jan. 25, 2020

        “Canada has, unfortunately, very recent experiences with a virus of this type. Our experience with SARS in 2003 meant that we created protocols and a system that is handling concerns around this threat very well.”
        Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada, Jan. 31, 2020

        “We’ve never recommended the wearing of masks in public. Nevertheless, I’m aware that certain other cultures in society like to do so.”
        Dr. David Williams, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health, Jan. 27, 2020

        “There will probably be more harm caused by racism, xenophobia, discrimination, harassment, racial taunts directed specifically toward the Chinese Canadian community, and others of Asian descent, than will be caused by the coronavirus.”
        Kristyn Wong-Tam, Toronto City Councilor, Jan. 29, 2020

        “The risk of Coronavirus to our community remains low. We must not allow fear to triumph over our values as a city.”
        John Tory, Mayor of Toronto, on Jan. 29, 2020, encouraging people to go shopping and to restaurants

        “If we all stopped moving for two weeks and nobody talked to anybody for two weeks and we all just stayed put, in fact we would see this virus would die.”
        Federal Health Minister Patty Hajdu

        1. Great collection, Chris. Is there a site anywhere we can find more of these? Alternately, I would pass yours around.

    2. If he got his shots in New York they were probably distilled water. The real vaccine got sold out the back door for cash. 10% for the big guy.

  11. People will be as afraid as they want to be. People can choose whatever they want to live in abject fear of. Being angry all the time, being afraid/panicked all the time. People will either eventually find it too exhausting and give it up (i.e. find a new hobby), or they will have a psychotic break.

    Have fun, with however you choose to spend your spare time. Hope you enjoy the activity you have chosen.

    FYI, May 15 there are demonstrations if you want to go join one. Don’t know if there are any in Saskatchewan.

  12. Wait a minute.
    Who says they got anything wrong?
    These are Government Stenographers,they faithfully repeated every word of the gospel from on high.
    So what if everything was a falsehood,designed to service the sacred narrative?
    .
    They got it wrong?
    But they preached exactly what they were paid to.
    Next they will be complaining that the govt issue talking points are making them look bad..
    So they need a bigger handout.
    To better “serve the public”.
    Our Effete Elites form the most incestuous little bubble of losers and twits that we have had the pleasure of being hectored by in decades.
    The Guillotine.
    Because?
    It’s our Heritage.

  13. Look after your immune system and dont be an Experimental Lab Rat for the “jab”. Just wait……there will be more evidence that this “vaccine” from whatever source is not what you were lead to believe.

    Anybody that believes a Graphic designer, a part time useless drama teacher/even worse snowboard instructer and a WHO transplant is bat shit crazy. And….votes Lie-beral.

  14. Geez. All my Canadian friends make fun of me because we don’t have universal health insurance. I completed my vaccination series Feb 13th. I guess you Canadians are just lucky.

  15. The comments after ANY JJ Mccullough column illustrate the butthurt emotional retardation of Washington Post’s readers and their unwillingness to accept what a failed state Canada is.

    It just never occurred to them to simply not read the column in the first place.

    They’re the “duh-duh” idiots as opposed to the panicky ones.

  16. More fool anybody who flew south in search of a shot of distilled water. Everybody who truly mattered got his vaccine over a year ago, delivered by diplomatic bag to the nearest Chinese consulate. You will never get anywhere near one.

    More effective in preventing Wuhan flu, by far, is to avoid “communities” whose denizens don’t practice basic hygiene. That’s why our betters are moving to the cottage full-time, or paying a king’s ransom for one if Dad didn’t leave them his.

    1. Actually I think we are too hygienic, too clean. We have immune systems that under immense filth, often coupled with starvation, are designed to win. Systems active for 100’s of millions years.

      Polio, was noticed that poor kids swimming in the raw sewage rivers of Italy and New York, didnt get Polio. It was the wealthier kids that went to chlorine public pools. This is after WW2 and the affordability of hot clean water, clothes washers, as opposed to pre war once a week tub, after father bathed..

      Another example is the explosion of asthma, a immune reaction. Highest? In wealthy uber clean households.
      Getting vaccines is exercise for your immune system. We used to do this for millions of years when life was nasty, dirty and short.
      I guess I should say get out and get down and dirty to be healthy.

      1. I noticed that street people, the homeless, don’t seem to be dying in massive numbers.

    1. We know he has been twiddling his fingers with regards to getting vaccines for Canadians.
      I wonder where else he has been twiddling his fingers?
