Okay, not really but still.
Fauci, asked “what’s the science” for denying vaccinated Americans a return to travel, can’t explain.

No, not YOUR judgment.

I want a new country.
I’m old enough to remember when putting kids in cages was a bad thing.
The New York Times has a different definition of “humane” than the average person. *
He makes good points and has good questions.
Given the small amount of vaccines we have we should be smart and strategic with them. A fire hose approach isn’t going to work.
87% of all C-19 mortality in the province occurs in the 70+ ages and infirm. (55% of the 87% were in LTC facilities (just 78k residents)).
70+ is just 12% of the population, or 1.8m people.
69&Under mortality rate: 0.22%, 49&U mortality rate: .03%.

Twitter thread.
“No firefighter ever got criticized for using too much water. ”
This is why Scott Adam’s says analogies don’t really make good arguments.
A whole lot of people never saw this story. That’s on purpose.
Nor will they see it. The left has done an amazing job convincing their people not to look at sources of news other than their own. That’s how powerful the fake news has become.
They even tell you how the brain washing works. 👍
so what search engine do you use?
Globe and Mail pulls back the curtain on the discussion/panic the gender neutral potato heads in Ottawa had over the canceling of our pandemic early warning system.
The internationally respected system was created to detect and monitor international health threats to help Canada and other countries respond faster and more effectively to a deadly outbreak. However, The Globe found that the operation’s alert system was silenced in early 2019 amid shifting government priorities.
During an exchange of early-morning e-mails on Aug. 13, advisers to the Prime Minister can be seen trying to figure out what went wrong with GPHIN, and whether the blame for its mishandling could be contained to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), and decision makers within that department, without political ramifications for the government.
Follow the science, don’t follow the science, throw the science under the bus. It’s all the same these days. 🤷♂️
Maybe its just me, but it would seem that it should be much bigger news that 15,000+ peer-reviewed climate research papers published since 2000 are based on a non-existent phenomena & thus are now discredited … https://t.co/CFOFMwzh31

We actually have these in Canada. But they’re off limits to the average person. Can’t have the proletariat making up their own minds. Watch the video.
QUIZ!
Q: What do Celebrities, Pro Athletes & media personalities have in common?
A: They knew frequent rapid testing is crucial key to getting back to normal & have used rapid tests ever since.
We need at-home rapid tests to be inexpensive & available for everyday people too. https://t.co/n57WzTWzVm

I’ve never understood why big outfits like packing plants haven’t been pushing for rapid testing given the costs of shutting everything down all the time.

Good to see everything is back to “normal”. 🤔
h/t Alan in the comments for pointing out this is more “normal” than one might think.
Get your ass over here Grandpa so we can help you.
A two-hour drive stands between John Suderman and his vaccine.
The 91-year-old Dauphin resident is currently eligible to be immunized against COVID-19 but he needs to get to a vaccination clinic because he lives on his own.
With the nearest immunization site in Brandon, Suderman plans to do the drive himself, but says it doesn’t make sense that he can’t show up at a local seniors’ residence to be vaccinated along with residents.
The inability of those in charge to in anyway improvise or colour outside a very narrow set of lines is breathtaking to behold.
As is the cognitive ability and common sense of a 91 year old in comparison to a small army of highly paid, highly credentialed, highly educated midwits.
Stories behind a paywall but you get the idea.

Okay, a day late and a ventilator short but still.
A Québec company received a quarter-billion dollar pandemic contract to supply ventilators that repeatedly failed testing, internal records show. Cabinet justified the sole-sourced contract on a claim of “extreme urgency.” First deliveries of rebuilt devices are scheduled this week, eleven months after the contract was approved: “It was an emergency situation.”
At least the cheques cleared right away.
Time to buy some pineapples.
China on Friday announced the indefinite ban on importing Taiwanese pineapples would begin Monday.
While Taiwan is best known internationally for its thriving tech companies, the sub-tropical island has a flourishing fruit industry. Last year, more than 90 per cent of its exported pineapples went to China.
The latest move by China follows a string of events that signal tensions between the mainland and Taiwan are rising. Recently, especially last year, Chinese military activity increased on the island and Beijing is highly reactive to any international behaviour recognizing Taiwan’s sovereignty.
I’m old enough to remember when China banned Canadian canola.
