The calls and text messages are relentless. On the other end are doctors and scientists at the top levels of the NIH, FDA and CDC. They are variously frustrated, exasperated and alarmed about the direction of the agencies to which they have devoted their careers.
“It’s like a horror movie I’m being forced to watch and I can’t close my eyes,” one senior FDA official lamented. “People are getting bad advice and we can’t say anything.”
That particular FDA doctor was referring to two recent developments inside the agency. First, how, with no solid clinical data, the agency authorized Covid vaccines for infants and toddlers, including those who already had Covid. And second, the fact that just months before, the FDA bypassed their external experts to authorize booster shots for young children.
That doctor is hardly alone.
Now is the time at SDA when we clown country!

Canada’s Health-Care System is supposedly on the Brink of Disaster:
Canadian nursing leaders say they’ve sent a message to the premiers as they meet this week that patients and nurses are suffering through a “dire staffing crisis” that threatens the sustainability of public health care.
A statement from Linda Silas, president of the Canadian Federation of Nurses, says the system is “on the brink of disaster” and nursing leaders shared proposed solutions today as the premiers start their Council of the Federation meeting.
Silas says nurses have been “struggling through extreme staffing shortages, forced overtime and cancelled vacations, with no end in sight” to untenable conditions.

maybe 6 months ago, the bad kitty told me “the US state department would lose to a drunk chicken at tic tac toe.”
so, i told him that that probably wasn’t very nice and that i’m sure they have smart people and stuff!
then he said “wait and see, poquitos gatito, wait and see…”

NIH Records Reveal FBI Inquiry of Wuhan Grant
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 1651 pages of records from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) revealing an FBI “inquiry” into the NIH’s controversial bat coronavirus grant tied to the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The records also show National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) officials were concerned about “gain-of-function” research in China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology in 2016. The Fauci agency was also concerned about EcoHealth Alliance’s lack of compliance with reporting rules and use of gain-of-function research in the NIH-funded research involving bat coronaviruses in Wuhan, China.
It doesn’t feel like much of a story anymore. I get the sense that governments, media and academia have quietly accepted that Covid-19 was a lab leak, and they’re going to let that messy little factoid fade into the background undisturbed and unaddressed, as though nothing about it was extraordinary.
And after a time, we’ll be told by experts that test tube pandemics are just a small price to pay so that governments can keep us Safe® from the more deadly natural pandemics, and that only dangerous extremists and science deniers would even raise the question of accountability.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, November, 2021;
Canadians have given us an extremely ambitious climate mandate. That in itself is a sign of progress. As a lifelong environmentalist, I feel the responsibility of those expectations. […] International climate conferences just raise the stakes. I’ll be travelling across the country by train early in the new year to speak with as many Canadians as possible about taking our country’s climate ambitions to the next level, here in Canada and for the next COP.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault, July 2022;
Guilbeault’s office confirmed Tuesday that the minister’s ambitious early-2022 train tour plan didn’t happen in part because of the sixth COVID-19 wave, but also because Via Rail simply was not offering the required service levels to make it possible.

Election Wizard – If the official government numbers show inflation is at 9.1%, that means the real numbers are likely just shy of 20% now. Shadow Stats showed the real inflation for May 2022 at 16.81%.

Preston Manning has written a superb op-ed about the persecution of Tamara Lich:
Since the attitude of the Trudeau government toward individual Canadians very much depends on their gender and race, let the record show that Tamara is female and of Metis heritage. With these characteristics, and if she was being hounded by a Conservative administration for involvement in a left-wing protest, Tamara would by now have been lionized by the Trudeau Liberals as a freedom martyr, made the subject of a sympathetic full-length documentary by the CBC, granted an honorary degree by some university, and nominated for the Order of Canada.
