Delta, Delta, Delta

Globe and Mail: COVID-19 outbreak at Calgary hospital linked to Delta variant grows to 33, including 10 fully vaccinated

the majority of cases linked to the current outbreak at the Foothills Medical Centre are mild, though two patients have required intensive care.

Meanwhile over in Winnipeg… “almost every”

Why get bogged down in all those complicated science based details when you can just be sciency. 

How’s about a nice getaway on a Cruise Ship that’s only running at 30% capacity of fully vaccinated guests?

    1. The Delta variant, which was first associated with India …

      Delta, Delta, Delta? Chyynah, Chyynah, Chyynah?
      Nope.
      India, India, India.

      Seems your government doesn’t want viruses to be … raaaaaacisssssst.

    2. Did anyone notice that the DeIta Variant…first discovered in India, didn’t appear untiI shortIy after Indian soIdiers Iaid a beat-down on the Chinese Army?

      Coincidence?

      I guess the Chinese miIitary recaIIed the IittIe oId Chinese Iadies with spray bottIes at the Western Airports…and redepIoyed them to Mombai.

    1. If you are upset what an mRNA vaccine does or does not – it does not enter the nucleus of a cell for example – you should look up what Covid19 does to cells.

      1. Ivermectin is a plenty good therapy to prevent cellular damage caused by the India variant. Err … “Delta” variant.

        1. Yeah….Ivermectin has proven very successfuI at stopping this disease coId……but the patent for it has expired, and you can get a fuII 5 days of treatment with it for about $10. The vaccines are much more profitabIe; and you need two of them. And probabIy, a “booster” or two for every year afterwards.

          FoIIow the $$……and you know why this disease is being handIed the way it is being handIed.

      2. Yeah we did look it up, and in the OVERWEALMING MAJORITY of cases, it does little. My experience with it (typical) was it presented as a weird, weak-ass cold.

      3. You should see what antibodies from a healthy immune system does to COVID virus.
        Especially in the over 99 per cent of those who contract it.

      4. Allan enjoy your experimental goo. They also have injection sites open for all manner of drugs like meth and heroin.
        Does that mean we are under obligation to do as the state says and inject experimental goo into our bodies.
        FO. You imbecile.

  1. Neither side will change their mind at this point. The vaccine enthusiastic crowd ignores and minimizes all adverse reactions and virus breakthroughs that infect the fully vaccinated. The vaccine cautious people want to wait and see what new “rare” side effects occur and question whether the “benefits outweigh the risks” for them. It’s now a stalemate, imo.

    On the “benefits outweigh the risks” point – shouldn’t the calculation for each serious adverse reactions be calculated as a cumulative risk. The risk of blood clots + bells palsy + heart inflammation + organ damage+….

    1. plus long term effects, speculated to be autoimmune disorders, the body attacking these pseudo spike proteins now created on the cell walls.
      This winter‘s flu and cold season will tell a story, as our immune systems operate as expected. This will be the real story whether the dose is truly safe. This is the ultimate reason for my own wait and see approach. No long term testing, therefor not proven

      1. I consider myself to be in a low risk category because of my age, weight and health. Under current conditions, I want to see 5 years of post vaccine safety data.

        1. or at the very least, finish the first full round of human testing and fully report the results. That should be about 2024.

        2. You and me both! I had Covid, very mild. And tho a blood test showed nothing in the way of antigens floating around 6 months later I’d still like to wait. After all, science (psy-intz) needs a control group, right? And I’m fat and old with a compromised immune system, so I’d be good in the control group.

      2. Auto-immune disorders?

        Distinct possibility considering how the Kung Flu AND the “vaccines” arose. What is the previous world record for the development of a reasonably safe and effective vaccine”?

        The “spikes” are part of the key.

        That, and the fact that “Dr” Falsi has been deeply involved in this rolling caper, from HIV, through SARS to this current fiasco.

        Fundamentally “political diseases”; ALL of them.

  2. Another point that intrigues me is the use of behavioral science to get people to take an experimental vaccine for a disease with such a low case fatality rate and where the fatalities were heavily skewed to the old, the unhealthy and the overweight .

    I read a comment mentioning the Milgram Experiment, which seemed vaguely familiar, so I looked it up to jog my memory. “The Milgram experiment(s) on obedience to authority figures was a series of social psychology experiments conducted by Yale University…They measured the willingness of study participants…to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience.” The vast majority of people obeyed. Why? :

    -The first is the theory of conformism, based on Solomon Asch conformity experiments. A subject who has neither ability nor expertise to make decisions, especially in a crisis, will leave decision making to the group and its hierarchy. The group is the person’s behavioral models

    -The second is the agentic state theory, wherein, per Milgram, “the essence of obedience consists in the fact that a person comes to view themselves as the instrument for carrying out another person’s wishes, and they therefore no longer see themselves as responsible for their actions. Once this critical shift of viewpoint has occurred in the person, all of the essential features of obedience follow”

    -Another explanation of Milgram’s results invokes belief perseverance as the underlying cause. What “people cannot be counted on is to realize that a seemingly benevolent authority is in fact malevolent, even when they are faced with overwhelming evidence which suggests that this authority is indeed malevolent. Hence, the underlying cause for the subjects’ striking conduct could well be conceptual, and not the alleged ‘capacity of man to abandon his humanity … as he merges his unique personality into larger institutional structures.”‘

      1. Yes. But the fake electric shock part was merely to test the extent of people’s obedience levels. What’s interesting is that people were most obedient when instructed by scientists. I suspect that this milgram study explains a lot of what we’re seeing in regards to accepting an experimental vaccine and ignoring caution and minimizing contrary evidence.

        But the rage directed at those who refuse to participate in the vaccine experiment. The desire to punish them for their non-comfomity. That’s a different and more malevolent human behavioural issue. The Kill The Heretic or Burn The Witch reflex?

        1. The power to be able to use wide-reaching social media while sitting on your couch, whether it’s something like Nextdoor, Twitter, Facebook, etc. Especially something like Nextdoor.

          1. Yes. Today’s keyboard warriors are the anonymous, cowardly version of yesteryear’s baying mob chasing down and eliminating those who are deemed sinful or evil. Our brains haven’t evolved all that much, in many ways.

    1. LC, in other words people are not able to think rationally and critically about what they are exposed to, ie. the insanity surrounding the whu who flu. The Milgram Experiment is the perfect example.

      1. I strongly believe that malevolent actors are exploiting a behavioral quirk of human nature. I think this is being driven by greed. But the longer it continue, the more sinister it appears.

        1. Excellent point LC…Excellent.

          It started out as a believable thing this virus, and although I have doubts about its Virulence and/or deadliness…..one thing for sure is the radical fascist takeover of the Narrative around the Apr 2020 mark
          ….and one at seems destined to never end, right alongside a never ending train of variants….That part, plus the Insane propaganda designed to coerce All to partake in untested injectable garbage.

          I too am out…See ZERO reason to join the herd.

      1. I took a look and the Stanford Prison Experiment is pretty much debunked. The Milgram Experiment has been criticized but not debunked. For example, from Vox:

        In some cases, time has shown that flawed original experiments offer worthwhile reexamination. The original Milgram experiment was flawed. But at least its study design — which brings in participants to administer shocks (not actually carried out) to punish others for failing at a memory test — is basically repeatable today with some ethical tweaks.

        And it seems like Milgram’s conclusions may hold up: In a recent study, many people found demands from an authority figure to be a compelling reason to shock another. However, it’s possible, due to something known as the file-drawer effect, that failed replications of the Milgram experiment have not been published. Replication attempts at the Stanford prison study, on the other hand, have been a mess.

  3. The shot is distilled water. Of course they got Wuhan flu.

    What else?

    These “variants” are being referred to by Greek letters, instead of geographic origin, because the eggheads were sick of being asked why it was just peachy to refer to a “British” variant and not to Wuhan flu or—heaven help you—the CCP virus.

    The “Delta” variant of Wuhan flu was first discovered in India. Of course, it probably did not originate there. My guess is that it came fresh from the WIV via Pakistan.

    1. I believe that the shots for the PM and other “elites” are likely placebos for show. The shots for everyone else are certainly not distilled water.

  4. That Globe and mail article is incorrect.

    Hinshaw said there was one outbreak of the delta variant at Foothils, and that outbreak had ten fully vaccinated people testing positive. Checking AHS outbreak data, there were three outbreaks at Foothills…only one outbreak had more than ten people so that must have been the outbreak she was referencing. That was also the most recent outbreak so it would make sense that this is the Delta outbreak.

    That outbreak has 7 staff and 13 patients. Hinshaw said ten people who tested positive were fully vaccinated, and didn’t know how many were partly vaccinated. So 50% of the people that have it are fully vaccinated. Presumably 50%-60% of the fully vaccinated are partly vaccinated?

    This vaccine doesn’t seem to do much to provide immunity…hence Hinshaw falling back on the unprovable “they aren’t getting as sick as they would have”.

    Doctors months ago were saying that these vaccines could actually cause increased susceptibility to variants.

    1. Notice the fancy language from the propaganda director

      “……10 vaxxed people in hospital, 2 in ICU, but the other cases are mild……”

      If one is in the hospital with COVID, it is NOT a “mild” case. Mild cases get well at home.

      1. To be fair, the GandM article doesn’t draw a distinction between the three outbreaks at Foothills, and we don’t know if the ICU are associated with the delta variant outbreak, and more importantly, if they are vaccinated .

        And we don’t know if the staff who caught COVID are in hospital or recovering at home.

        The only reason I know this is I listened to Hinshaw answer questions, and found it odd that she reported a hard number, as opposed to a percentage, of people who caught COVID who were vaccinated…and she never mentioned the size of the outbreak. That seemed fishy so I went and looked up the data myself, since you clearly can’t count on the media to correctly interpret numbers.

    2. 10 infected staff is a massive IPAC failure… or a tracing error which is quite common.

  5. Viruses mutate, the world is not coming to an end. So much for the not-vaccines eh. BY the way these not-vaccines cannot give immunity as there is no such thing as a covid virus in any of them.

  6. What I would like to know is how this variant got into Foothills in the first place. Hinshaw et al don’t seem to want to talk about that. Protecting any group perhaps?

    1. When the tests are fraudulent and fear porn is our lexicon, anything will get into the Foothills in order to elevate the narrative. The “health” industry is encouraging illness by promoting stress and fear they KNOW lowers immunity.

      Fast food, smokes and booze are essential in a “health” crisis. So are big box megastores.

      Were I a politician in these times I’d say, “I’ve no authority to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms bc we are a free nation. Assess the risks for yourself as you would during any other flu season.” I would hope our “healthcare” system (the best in the world (cough)), would also be honest brokers but that is an illusion shattered fully.

  7. I’m telling people that I’m refusing the vaccine until 100 percent of blacks, gays, Muslims and all other oppressed groups have had the shot…worldwide. Because of my white privilege….you know..

    Someone objected on Instagram. I called them a racist. That was kind of fun.

    Speaking of racism, does Trudeau hold the world record for dressing in blackface? Like seriously. There may be old actors still alive who were in blackface more. But I think dude holds the record…

    1. Alas, it is the correct (and brilliant) answer. Back of the line whitey. I will borrow it. So far I haven’t been asked or approached about not wearing a mask at Safeway etc but I will disclose a medical condition known as CFS which I suffer from daily. I can easily see the compliant maskers don’t have it at all, especially those driving masked or walking the dog while masked. In fact, no one who believes this B movie hoax has CFS.

    2. Not explicitly stated by Stateless, but of those still living? Jolson passed away in 1950, so is no longer eligible.

      It’s like the break between “oldest living human” and “longest lived human”.

      1. Fine.

        No one alive has dressed up in blackface on more occasions than our current Prime Minister. Out of 7 Billion people or so, he is the most in blackface.

        We should really have a blackface month, where everyone puts on blackface, day after day, until Trudeau no longer holds the record. How many days would that be?

      2. That’s why I noted the difference between “oldest living human” and “longest lived human”. I didn’t need Stateless’ explanation above to know what question was intended.

        Strictly speaking, the dead can’t hold anything. It can be placed upon them, that doesn’t mean that they hold it (wordsmithing, I know, but the most commonly used meaning of “hold” means being able to use arms and fingers to grasp). When the owner of a house dies they no longer own it. There may be some legal wrangling to determine who now owns it, but it can’t be the deceased.

        So English is vague and self-contradictory. Who knew?

    3. But dead in 1950.
      Living blackface performers….Trudeau for the win.
      Like worldwide. Think about that for a second.
      The leader of our country has dressed up in blackface, on so many occasions, more than any living person.

  8. Neither Pfizer nor Moderna recommended booster shot times to be doubled or tripled from the original spec, so that term “fully vaccinated ” is very very relative.

  9. Don’t care about the rest, strictly in it for myself, atomized by the state against their abysmal and cowardly performances.

    Stay locked down sheeple if you want. I already lost lacrosse season, the damage is done. We’re done, no new waves or variants.

    BC is now above the 70% magic bullet of first vaccination, aka their total guess. We get to experience, not celebrate, a little renewed freedom from the statist colonizers a second time on July 1st, as our best of a bad lot slowly grant us back our natural rights.

    Elbow taps all the way around.

    Not all the way back, that will never happen with this collectivist cabal. Thanks to our masked PM at the G7, covid is politically done.
    But, there is a climate emergency. Another issue where cheap talk meets expensive and overbearing government.
    I say overreaching and in need of removal, but not confident yet, planning for the worst while hoping for a voter epiphany.

    To the rest I say. You elected these fools. We got lucky in BC. We elected fools but they attempted sanity while resisting the urge to seize power, but still showing their true face with their pandemic election call, which has lost them plenty of goodwill and votes.

    1. Rocky, as another Cap region dweller, mostly agree. The current overlords though, are still mostly beloved by their vast support of current and retired government workers. Despite their utter lack of financial acumen, their supporters are of a similar mindset, so that’s a non-factor.
      It has been surprising to see their lack of going full Ford or Pallister, I had the socialist Horde going full nazi, but they never did really, and, my god, Horgan even said he would remove the mask mandate as well, just last week. Don’t get me wrong, like many others, the lockdowns were overbearing and nonsensical.
      We did fine last year without lockdowns, masks, or “vaccines”
      They are the “best” of a bad lot of political choices, but its not saying much, the opposition is lost, not even sure if Falcon is the saviour, as I can never again vote for a climate changey devotee.
      We are going to be stuck with the Endies for a long time, unless they run out of money. Ya gotta admit, as much as I dislike them, Horgan runs a tight ship, and his media pals are devoted to Dear Leader

  10. Since I don’t trust what governments and elites are saying about the virus or other issues such as climate change and gender, why would I then trust what they say about the vaccines? Or more precisely, what the doctors they allow to speak on their behalf say, when other doctors say different things.

    Personally, I suspect something far worse is planned and who’s to say that the vaccines aren’t part of it, the original COVID-19 seemed engineered to accelerate co-morbidities (and sweep through large numbers of healthy people in mild form to raise the rates of infection to scary sounding numbers). Who’s to say that the vaccines aren’t programmed to interact with future variants released by the same people who released the first waves?

    So I am also taking the wait and see approach. When I make a list of people enthusiastic about vaccines, it reads like the invite list for next year’s Davos summit. Have they ever lied to us before? Well, where’s this ice free Arctic Ocean? Where’s the just peace in the Middle East? What have our elites actually done right since about 1990? Nothing and everybody (here) knows it.

    1. And after a year and a half of this highly infectious and deadly virus, fewer than 3% of the global population have become “cases” and fewer than 0.05% have died. The hotspot is India now, where so far about 2% of its population caught it and less than 0.03% have died.

      With all the damage caused by governments, we have few reasons to believe them.

  11. French Virologist and Nobel Prize Winner Luc Montagnier contends that “it is the vaccination that is creating the variants.”

    He explained that “there are antibodies, created by the vaccine,” forcing the virus to “find another solution” or die. This is where the variants are created. It is the variants that “are a production and result from the vaccination.”

    How do you view the mass vaccination program? Mass vaccination compared to treatments that work and aren’t expensive.

    The history books will show that .. the vaccination is creating the variants.

    —The new variants are a production and result from the vaccination. You see it in each country, it’s the same: the curve of vaccination is followed by the curve of deaths.
    —I’m following this closely and I am doing experiments at the Institute with patients who became sick with Corona after being vaccinated. I will show you that they are creating the variants that are resistant to the vaccine.

  12. I don’t believe a word of PCR tests. And how do they distinguish between alpha and omega? But, hey Delta! Everybody shut down now.

    Everybody’s getin’ a brand new bug now
    (Come on baby do the isolation)
    I know you’ll get it if you take a PCR now
    (Come on baby do the isolation)

    My little baby sister was immune you see
    It’s easier getting than the A B or C
    So come on, come on, do the isolation with me

    Everybody’s getin’ a brand new varient
    (Come on baby do the isolation)
    I know you’ll get it if you take a PCR now
    (Come on baby do the isolation)

    You gotta wear your mask now
    Come on baby, jump back, six feet
    Well, I think you got the delta now

    Everybody’s getin’ a delta now
    (Come on baby do the isolation)
    I know you’ll get it if you take a PCR test
    (Come on baby do the isolation)

  13. My wife and I are attempting to book passage on a Princess cruise now, but are informed we must show proof of full vaccination. My wife is a stage 4 lung cancer patient (never smoked) who has undergone radiation, chemo, immunotherapy and more chemo, so her immune system is not of the best.

    We as well as four close friends have (easily) recovered from Covid and as has been mentioned, it expressed as a very minor cold for all of us. We now have natural immunity and would prefer not to be ‘vaccinated’ as we believe it offers no greater protection than our natural immunization. Nonetheless, we are told we must have not one ‘booster’ shot, but two if we wish to travel.

    This ruling has no basis in science and forces us to either accept an unwanted, unnecessary and potentially harmful ‘treatment’ or to just remain home as we have had to do for 15 months. I have written to our Chief medical officer Bonnie Henry, expressing the discrimination and unfairness to the 146,000 British Columbians who have recovered, but as might be predicted, this large cohort of citizens have no standing as they cannot be politically used to the gov’ts advantage and can therefore be readily ignored and dismissed.

    1. A Princess Cruise (or any other company) is a petrie dish of germs-no place for any human let alone a cancer patient.
      Please re-consider.

  14. They are doing this to discern who makes a poor slave. The unvaccinated will be interned and killed off because they don’t make good socialists.

  15. No vaccine is 100% effective and no one claims these vaccines are the exception.
