COVID Deaths in Canada: A Questionable Statistic

Before Canadians surrender anymore of their freedoms to COVID-19 propaganda, can we stop and ask some critical questions?

John C. A. Manley

“COVID is unquestionably much worse than a bad flu season,” says Dr. Allison McGeer, an infectious disease specialist at Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital, in an interview with the CBC.

McGeer cites government statistics (as of June 17) showing a COVID mortality rate of 22 deaths per 100,000 Canadians.

By comparison, the death rate for influenza in Canada on an annual basis is usually between nine and 13 deaths per 100,000 people…”

Does this one statistic really make COVID “unquestionably” worse than the flu?

Are not questions a fundamental part of the scientific process, whereby a theory is tested over the fires of inquiry?

Is not the act of questioning at the heart of true journalism?

Would you not agree that our ability to question the decisions, motives and actions of our government protects our democracy from descending into tyranny?

I‘m sorry Dr. McGeer, but I do have a few critical questions. Especially considering what is at risk.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, our seventh Prime Minister, had a vision of Canada as a land of individual liberty and decentralized federalism. “Canada is free and freedom is its nationality,” he most famously said. “Nothing will prevent me from continuing my task of preserving at all cost our civil liberty.”

Today, being the 153rd anniversary of Confederation, I would like to follow Laurier’s example, exercising my freedom to question and my duty to preserve our civil liberties.

Let’s start with…

What is the Actual Infection-to-Fatality Rate for COVID-19 in Canada?

Here in the Great White North, I’ve noticed that the media is avoiding what might be the most important statistic when it comes to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Graphs, charts and lists slice the data up in so many ways: Cases by province, date of onset, number of deaths, male versus female, old versus young, etc. But they don’t talk about the infection-to-fatality rate — that is the percent of people who acquire COVID-19 and end up having that inevitable out-of-body experience we call death.

Considering all the extreme measures they’ve taken to control the spread of the disease (or, more so, control law-abiding citizens) shouldn’t they be letting us know the infection-to-fatality rate?

After all, The World Health Organization had estimated that COVID-19’s “official” death rate would hover around 3.4%. This statistic has been used to justify the loss of three million jobs in Canada and libraries being turned into food banks.

Well, I decided to calculate the infection/fatality rate for the entire country, as well as each individual province and territory. I’m using the official data from The Public Health Agency of Canada as of June 23, 2020 (6 days after McGeer’s calculations):

As you can see we arrive at a 0.56% rate of death for those infected with COVID. 0.56% is six times less than the WHO’s estimate of 3.4%. Notwithstanding, a 0.56% infection-to-fatality rate, as Dr. McGeer’s says, would be “unquestionably much worse than a bad flu season.” Around five times as worse as a mild flu season.

But wait! I have more questions before they finish turning the true north strong and free into a COVID-19(84) police state…

Why is COVID Six Times Deadlier in Ontario than in Manitoba?

In the above table, take a look at the infection-to-fatality column. You can see that a person infected with COVID is twice as likely to die if they live in Ontario (0.62%) or Quebec (0.65%) versus somebody living in Nova Scotia (0.32%). And Canucks are twice as likely to die in Nova Scotia rather than in Alberta (0.16%).

Indeed, if you eliminate Quebec and Ontario from the equation we arrive at dramatically different results. An infection/fatality rate of 0.17% and only 3 deaths per 100,000 amongst the remaining 61% of Canadians.

Is COVID-19 then more dangerous than the flu? It doesn’t seem so if you live outside of Ontario and Quebec.

“It is unlikely that the same virus is so much more harmless in Hamburg than in New York,” says Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg, an internist and pulmonary physician. “There must be other reasons for this.”

So why is COVID only killing 0.18% of infected people in British Columbia but 0.65% of Quebecers? Remember, we are looking at how many people died who were infected. This infection/fatality is unaffected by how many people were infected or how many people live in a particular region. This is why the infection/fatality rate is almost the same for Ontario and Quebec, even though Quebec lists 45 more deaths per 100,000 people.

Obviously, such discrepancies raise a lot of question about the real danger of COVID-19 to Canadians. It also makes me ask…

Why are we Including “Probable” Cases of COVID in the Official Figures?

What immediately stands out on the Public Health Agency of Canada’s website is the footnote:

The total number [of COVID cases] includes publicly reported confirmed and probable cases.”

If a significant number of these cases are “probable” should we not also consider the 0.56% death rate as “probable” (at best) and not “unquestionable?”
Looking up the National surveillance case definitions for COVID-19, I found that a “probable” case seems to leave much to question: One can be added to the COVID list if they suffer the “onset of (or exacerbation of chronic) cough” coupled by participating “in a mass gathering identified as a source of exposure.” A Canadian can also be branded a COVID case if she has a “fever (over 38 degrees Celsius)” and “close contact with a confirmed case of COVID-19.”

When it comes to “close contact,” how close are we talking about? Not all that close in seems: “…a single laboratory confirmed case of COVID-19 in a [long-term care home], in a resident or staff member would trigger an outbreak and would be declared.” says the Ontario Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 Outbreak Guidance for Long Term Care Homes (LTCH).

In other words, if the maintenance man at a senior’s home of 800 residents tests positive for COVID, all 800 residents would now meet the “close contact” qualifier.

Ontario Health’s Case Definition – Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) confirms this: Just a runny nose and “being a patient in the same ward or facility during a nosocomial outbreak of COVID-19” will add Grandma to the COVID case count. “Facility” could include long-tern care homes, where most of the deaths have occurred.

Thus, you only need one confirmed case of COVID and all the residents in that nursing home become “probable” cases as soon as they show any of the broad list of COVID symptoms. One of those COVID red flags includes a “decrease in blood pressure” (a common occurrence among elderly using blood pressure lowering medication).

So someone can be totally free of COVID but still be included in the total of COVID cases. But of course, if they do die, it would not be assumed that COVID was the cause of death.

Or would it?

What Kind of Proof is Required to Verify a COVID Patient Actually Died from COVID?

Consider that the Ontario Public Health’s Daily Epidemiologic Summary clearly states:

Any case marked ‘Fatal’ is included in the deaths data. Deaths are included whether or not COVID-19 was determined to be a contributing or underlying cause of death…”

Said another way: It doesn’t matter whether someone died from cancer, the flu, heart disease, a ventilator, medication, falling down the stairs, a bullet to the head… As long as it is was “probable” that they had COVID, they will be added to the list of COVID deaths in Canada.

Take for example the first official COVID-19 death in my Ontario town. The Beacon Herald headlined:

Giuseppe ‘Joe’ Vaianisi, 86, died at Greenwood Court [Retirement Home] in Stratford Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19 on April 3.”

While Mr. Vaianis may have had COVID-19 it certainly didn’t sound like he died from it: “He just had a fever though, thank God,” his daughter reports. “He didn’t have any of the respiratory stuff and he didn’t seem to suffer. He just kind of got worse and worse, as far as he was asleep the last couple of days really.”

I know I’m no doctor, but that doesn’t sound like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-COV-2) to me. I’ve had pneumonia once, and trust me, I suffered. This sounds like an 86-year-old man dying peacefully in his sleep.

“They might have had COVID and that COVID they might have had, might have killed them. So just mark them down as a COVID death,” the guidelines seem to advise.

Does that not make you question whether COVID is “unquestionably much worse than a bad flu season?”

It also makes me ask…

Why are We Simply Not Counting COVID Cases Who Died with Pneumonia?

I’m rather baffled why the government is relying on such broad and liberal lists of symptoms and circumstances to identify whether someone has died from COVID-19. Reviewing the literature, it seems like there is only one way to die form COVID-19 and it is fairly easy to detect.

“By the end of 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) was informed about an outbreak of pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan, China…” says an article in the journal of Cellular & Molecular Immunology. Originally known as “Wuhan pneumonia,” Chinese scientists later renamed the virus “novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia (NCIP)” according to the same article.

Indeed, the original name for COVID encapsulated what the disease really was: pneumonia caused by a new coronavirus.

WebMD confirms this:

The illness tied to the new coronavirus was originally called novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia (NCIP). The World Health Organization renamed it COVID-19, which is short for coronavirus disease 2019.”

Why was pneumonia removed from the name? Was it because there were other ways in which COVID could kill?

WebMD states that COVID can also cause “a condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This disease comes on quickly and causes breathing problems.” But WebMD says this only occurs in people who already have pneumonia.

Thus, pneumonia appears to be the only accepted means by which COVID can directly kill its host. Zahid Butt, an assistant professor at the University of Waterloo explained to Global News:

Once the [corona]virus reaches the lungs, it causes inflammation which results in fluid accumulating in the lung and difficulty breathing. This fluid fills the lung’s air sacs… [then] blood oxygen levels fall below normal, a condition known as pneumonia.”

This, of course, will lead to oxygen-starved internal organs, which is why we see COVID patients put on dialysis or requiring CPR.

“But when Covid pneumonia first strikes, patients don’t feel short of breath, even as their oxygen levels fall,” explains a New York emergency room doctor in The New York Times. “And by the time they do, they have alarmingly low oxygen levels and moderate-to-severe pneumonia (as seen on chest X-rays).”

How is this any different than pneumonia derived from the flu? Indeed, Statistics Canada lists “Influenza and pneumonia” together as the sixth leading cause of death in Canada in 2018 with 8,511 losses. Notice how they don’t simply list “influenza.”

So why are we not looking at a definite “coronavirus and pneumonia” death statistic rather than this catch-all “any kind of death with probable coronavirus” statistic?

And, while on the subject of pneumonia-derived from the flu — how many people who have died from COVID also had an influenza virus in their system? And if they did, how do we know that the flu, rather than the coronavirus, was not the cause of death? Why is it assumed that the corona bug is to blame.

Indeed, the National surveillance case definitions for COVID-19 states that “COVID-19 may present as a co-infection with other pathogens.” Regardless, it goes on to say that doctors should still mark them down as a COVID case if there is a high “index of suspicion.”

Furthermore, why are we not being told among those COVID patients with pneumonia whether their oxygen levels dropped below 90%, thereby putting their lives at risk? “Covid pneumonia patients I saw had oxygen saturations as low as 50 percent,” says Richard Levitan, an emergency doctor who served in New York.

Simply having pneumonia is not proof that the pneumonia was fatal. Only 259 of the first 12,024 cases of “Wuhan pneumonia” died, according to the journal Nature. Indeed, pneumonia cases have been reported to be so mild that they are not even noticed by the patient. A Chinese study published in The Lancet observed: “COVID-19 pneumonia manifests with chest CT imaging abnormalities, even in asymptomatic patients…”

So how many of these COVID deaths in Canada were found to have pneumonia? And how many of them had pneumonia severe enough to cause death? Certainly not the aforementioned COVID death in my city whose daughter reported that he didn’t have any “respiratory stuff.”

The lack of pneumonia statistics in Ontario and Quebec becomes even more questionable when we look at the province of Manitoba. Manitoba has a low 0.9% infection-to-fatality rate.

According to a CBC article, Manitoba made a point of applying COVID testing to patients who had pneumonia prior to the official outbreak. They wanted to see if these past cases of pneumonia were caused by the coronavirus. This shows that Manitoba may be using the tighter definition of “death-by-pneumonia with the definite presence of coronavirus;” unlike Ontario with its much higher 0.62% fatality rate where the “probable” presence of coronavirus alone is enough to be added to COVID death list, regardless of whether they had pneumonia or not.

So if pneumonia is not the cause of all these COVID deaths might I ask…

Did COVID or Cockroaches Kill The Residents of Hard-Hit Long-Term Care Homes in Ontario and Quebec?

Back in April, with so many seniors dying, the military was called in to assist Quebec and Ontario nursing homes. A month later the Canadian Armed Forces released a 15-page report exposing worse-than-third-world conditions in Ontario nursing homes. Here’s a short list:

  • An infestation of “ants and cockroaches plus unknown.”
  • “Significant gross fecal contamination was noted in numerous patient rooms…”
  • “Nearly a dozen incidents of bleeding fungal infections.”
  • Feeding tubes “not being changed in so long the contents had become foul.”
  • “High risk of dosing errors” with expired medications.
  • Underfeeding.
  • “Bed bound for several weeks.”
  • Unsterile supplies.

I’ve compiled a list of the 19 worst observations made by the military. If you can stomach it, you can read the list here.

In Quebec, the Canadian Armed Forces did not report such graphic and inhumane conditions as witnessed in Ontario. Nonetheless, the conditions in French Canada were still far from adequate. The 60-page report states (as translated by the Globe and Mail):

  • “Prevention and control of the contamination didn’t follow the guidelines set by [the local health authority].”
  • “…the use of PPE was a major problem…”
  • “We noticed many employees went missing without warning during their shifts.”
  • Staff that did remain were: “overwhelmed, understaffed, exhausted, [not observing] disinfection protocols [which] had a direct impact on the hygiene of the residents.”
  • Residents were found “moving between zones [making] the infection prevention more complicated.”
  • At night there was a lack of staff to change incontinence diapers.

“According to our observations, the scope of the crisis resulted in many good practices being ignored so as to deal with more urgent problems,” the report concludes.

So we have homes where the guidelines declare all residents “probable” COVID patients and any deaths (whether from an infected feeding tube or cockroach infestation) as a COVID death. All the while, little is being done to stop the spread of COVID (and any other pathogen) in these facilities. Indeed, the COVID guidelines practically serve to give nursing home blanket immunity from what might otherwise warrant charges of manslaughter.

As Rosemary Frei revealed in her well-referenced Off-Guardian article, long-term care residents are rarely transferred to a hospital setting and corpses are cremated within 24 hours without a post-mortem investigation. In addition, because of lockdown, residents were not permitted family visitors who could oversee their care. Seems like a good way to cover up the evidence.

95% of COVID deaths in Canada have taken place in Ontario and Quebec. 76% of which have happened in long-term care homes such as those described above (complete with rotting food, forced feedings and residents crying out for help for over two hours).

How does this not make COVID look like a cover story for euthanizing the elderly?

How do we dare allow this type of abuse of the disabled and cite it as evidence that COVID-19 is “unquestionably” worse than the flu? It is beyond me why anyone in Canada still took COVID statistics seriously after the military’s report.

“I am a Canadian… Free to Oppose What I Believe Wrong”

While the CBC boldly proclaims: “COVID-19 is worse than a bad flu season, despite online claims to the contrary” it has yet to provide sufficient evidence to support this claim, while seemingly unable to practice investigative journalism by asking tough (yet obvious) questions like:

  1. If COVID-19 is so deadly why must we inflate the death toll by including “probable” cases?
  2. Why are we including deaths “whether or not COVID-19 was determined to be a contributing or underlying cause?”
  3. Why are we counting clear and criminal neglect and abuse of seniors as deaths caused by COVID?
  4. Why are we counting as a COVID death where severe (or any) pneumonia was not reported?
  5. Are COVID numbers being inflated to protect the government’s reputation after they’ve scared, harmed and violated the freedom of 37 million Canadians?
  6. Was there a financial incentive to euthanize (under the guise of an incurable infection) the elderly? Possibly to reduce government costs while eliminating a segment of the population that produces no tax revenue?
  7. Have non-COVID deaths been attributed to COVID so as to justify more surveillance and lockdowns; while selling the public on an expensive, insufficiently tested and unnecessary coronavirus vaccine?

I’m sorry, Dr. McGeer, those of us who refuse to be told what to think or question, do not find COVID “unquestionably much worse than a bad flu season.”

Instead, I find it questionable that our freedom, livelihood and well-being has been violated under the justification of such questionable data.

At this time, when Canadians seem so willing to surrender their freedom to frightening and belittling COVID propaganda, I think we should remember the words of John Diefenbaker, our 13th prime minister:

I am a Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, or free to choose those who shall govern my country. This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.

May 2020, I summed all deaths in USA from the CDC website.They made it very difficult and time consuming to locate the data, but I did it. I reasoned that if covid caused death, then there would be more death (all causes) recorded in 2020 than other years. So, I did it for the flu months January through April from 2015 to 2020. I discovered that 2018 had more total deaths than 2020, so wrote to the CDC to ask about that. Their response was “You’ll have to be more specific in your question.” Then their site went down for a week. When it came back up, low and behold, death in 2018 went down by 10,096, while 2020 went up by about 12,000. So, there was fly in their ointment; in fact more fly than ointment. Frankly, I think the CDC needs an audit and then to be closed… Read more »

If I’m understanding correctly, the notion of “informed consent” has devolved from the Nuremberg Code, so that (additional to the Nuremberg Code itself) we can see upcoming problems with a mandatory vaccination program.   from Wikipedia:   The idea of informed consent has been universally accepted and now constitutes Article 7 of the United Nations’ International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. It also served as the basis for International Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Research Involving Human Subjects proposed by the World Health Organization.   An informed consent can be said to have been given based upon a clear appreciation and understanding of the facts, implications, and consequences of an action. Adequate informed consent is rooted in respecting a person’s dignity.   As of late May, only half of Americans were certain they would line up for a vaccine, 20% said they would not, and 31% were uncertain.   https://bestlifeonline.com/coronavirus-vaccine/… Read more »

No mention that Ontario was the epicenter of the original SARs hoax in 2003. Trial run? The scientist that autopsied the alleged deaths from the virus and said that none had the virus was canceled.

After reading and commenting on this article, I sent it to my husband. My husband sent this article to his family, my in-laws. I didn’t have high hopes, but I wasn’t really expecting their reaction. One brother said he didn’t get the “logic” and “arguments” of the author, and that 0.56% is still very high while the author ignores the spike in deaths from long-term care homes. He knows someone who has a family member die so he’s happy with the “precautions” and this will all end soon. My other brother in law claimed the math is all wrong and “simplistic” and the author should have used case fatality rate instead of IFR. As that is more accurate. He said this site has many pro-Russian articles and the job of these pro-Russian sites is to disseminate anti western trust in government bodies like health agencies.

“My other brother in law claimed the math is all wrong and “simplistic” and the author should have used case fatality rate instead of IFR.”

Clueless mind controlled individual, as the case fatality rate is the infected fatality rate. People who are infected are known cases… They are just trying to come up with any excuse to not have to consider evidence and think for themselves. Russia, yup, Russia s behind it all. Brilliant. No need to look at anything when you can just wash it aside with ” they are Russian!”.

For years Canada has flown a progressive flag. It’s always been seen as the United States’ more civilised neighbour. But all that seems to have changed recently. Some of the things I’ve been reading about Canada are alarming.

Canadian politicians are embracing the Gatesian dystopia with glee.

One must also remember that ‘fl[ying] a progressive flag’, very often implies the demonisation of those who are not members of the approved group rather than inviting respect for the individual. Canada has always had an arrogant supercilious attitude toward the States. It’s indoctrination, in childhood, in schools, government attitude, and the media, led by the CBC, and is essentially endorsed behaviour by the government. One irony is that Canada is dependent on the US for its prosperity, But of course, normal human tendency is to disparage your benefactor. The other irony is that in my many travels to the USA, in every part of it, I have encountered only courtesy and friendliness, whereas in Canada US visitors have often been greeted with subtle hostility. Recent news stories from regional areas in Canada (Muskoka Ontario and other towns, and Prince Edward Island) have reported that due to the virus scare,… Read more »

The Author should be compelled to ask 2 more crucial questions:
1) How many autopsies cofirm flu pathogens every year?
2) Why has the Covid virus not been purely* isolated?

As of yet, scientists around the world have yet to fulfill Koch’s postulates proving a virus exists.

I think it’s important to realise this lockdown is a global phenomenon, that occurred by one nation after another, starting with China, catching the lockdown behaviour, as if the lockdown behaviour itself was a virus.   It would likely have not been possible for any individual nation that wasn’t already a dictatorship like China to have done this to its own citizens if it hadn’t simply had the defence of “everybody else is doing it.”   And indeed the media, who I think is the real villain in this saga, more or less demanded of their governments that they lockdown for that very reason, and most of the media has been criticising the national leaders ever since for not locking down soon enough or as strictly as they wished, and demonising countries like Sweden who refused to lockdown tightly enough for their liking.   Likewise, the media mostly now criticised… Read more »

Roughly agree with your synopsis, thanks for that. In a 100 years time we won’t be talking about the great pandemic, how could we when it’s not going to be as bad as the flu season of 68/69 (even on official stats) and completely insignificant compared to 1918/19?
 
No, students of history will be questioning why the global society acted so irrationally and destructively on such flimsy evidence. The media will come into that, the culture wars, the propaganda war against populism, Trump and Brexit, the influence of big pharma etc

China, in spite of limited lock down, has the lowest mortality rate in the world. Japan and S. Korea, with no lock downs at all, also have low mortality rates. Sweden is one of the countries with the lowest mortality rate in Europe, with no lock down, hence the media pouncing on that country for proving lock down useless.

I cannot agree more. truthful “news” is more precious than gold. Instead of truth, we get lies and are called “truthers” by the Liars. Basically six people dictate to all the poorly paid editors, who, on the cutting floor, dictate policy to all the poverty stricken “journalists”. Wouldn’t it be nice to cut the media off at the knees by reactivating the anti trust laws? Maybe the good that comes out of this masquerade will be mask dropping ironically, and let’s use this covid nonsense, like Klaus Schwab, as an opportunity to bring down what is effectively an internationally media cartel.

I quite agree, it seems insane to those who are normal; but my guess is it’s brilliant to the psychopaths among us. As many know by now, it’s all about control. The bottom feeders like Gates, Soros, and little Fauci make money, for sure. But they are ruled by much bigger boiz like Rothschilds and the other money changer families of old who need no more wealth. For them the game is total control; world domination.

The question all good journalists should be shouting from the tops of their voices is this:
 
‘Given the wholesale global trashing of rigorous cause-of-death assignments by suitably qualified individuals, is not the whole discussion of ‘CoVid19 deaths’ an exercise in propaganda?’
 
The most possible explanations for discrepancies are:
 
a. Differences in the way cause of death is assigned in different places.
b. Differences in immune health of different State populations (are more rural communities in Canada more healthy than city dwellers?)
c. Different climatic conditions favouring virus pathogenicity in a subset of Canadian states.
d. Greater exposure to higher viral loads in city areas, rather than in the countryside.
 
There is no debate on Covid19, there is just endless propaganda. The BBC in the UK is quite appalling in that regard.

The BBC in London is also one of the many little corporations that has Bill Gates as a shareholder.The UK government became a ‘client’ of the media much in the way a client would buy advertising.The remit( see SAGE) was to propagate fear through their reporting.The intention being to shape the collective mindset.In other words, bullshit for hire.   There is no point in criticising journalists and reporters for it.They’re foot soldiers not officers and generals.They have bills to pay and their bosses at the top are in league with the government.We can’t shoot the messengers.   What we should be doing is trying to persuade the doctors pursuing stardom on youtube to get together with a paper of medically based research and some medically flavoured questions that need to be addressed.They should petition the governments of each country that has been found to be falsifying numbers and spreading misinformation.… Read more »

The architects of the whole exercise covered all bases. Every eventuality was catered for in advance.Like all good directors of war, tactics are prized above all else.The idea of brainwashing the sheep into clapping on cue for nurses and doctors and paramedics and anyone else was a pre-emptive strike.All of them were re-christened’ front line heroes’ in ‘a war’. So we were to bow and scrape and be thankful as instructed by the Government via their media.As far as i remember nobody ever slated them anyway. They slated those refusing to fund it and prop it up.But now we have to clap ?    I k now of people of all ages from 3 to 73 being turned away from doctor’s surgeries and then going to hospitals instead and being turned away from them too.The ‘front lines’ in A and E are silent and mostly empty.Those we clap and scrape before,… Read more »

Is the total numbers of deaths in 2020 a lot different than the total deaths in at this point in time in 2019? If they are approximately the same than one can conclude COVID19 didn’t change the annual death rate and we should not be as concerned about it.

But what if the death rate is a lot higher in 2020? Than we need to see what the death rate looks like in 2021. If 2021 death rate is also higher than we need to look at the numbers and see why deaths have gone up. But if the death rate goes down and there is still no vaccine for COVID19 than the death rate is reverting to the mean and again COVID19 isn’t a problem any different than the flu.

Thank you for this research! I find the more the covid narrative falls apart, the more people cling to it. It’s depressing to say the least. People do not want to hear about it, they get uncomfortable and look away when I try to talk about it. Then they’ll state some parroted phrase like, “ well, I’ll wear a mask to protect others, to show I care.” Also, it’s obvious the lockdown isn’t going to end any time soon, and mandatory masks and vaccines are on the way. Even in areas like where I live in Ontario with no cases. This is the most depressing part. It’s not about a virus, it never was. It’s about destroying our lives and crushing us.

It calls my email ‘inappropriate’ and ‘offensive’ and tells me to take her off my email list (I’m the club secretary!)   So, if I’ve understood this correctly:   Accept the mainstream narrative and pass on your fear = non-political (nice) Question the mainstream narrative and encourage people = political (not nice)   I’ve read a lot of comments on here and other blogs about people… Read more »

Kind of scary how you can be ousted by questioning the mainstream narrative. My experience thus far with my colleagues at the epidemiology dept where I work is that 90% of all employees are believing the Covid scam and 100% (minus yours truly) of the staff members believe it. I have been lucky enough to be able to question the narrative to my ‘superiors’ thusfar without serious threads to oust me. But I think that this is mainly related to the fact that my superiors are incapable to understand my criticism… Once, long before coronavirus, I posted some criticism at the e-mail list of my former employer. It was a total valid criticism, yet not liked because ‘I used non-regular ways’ to put down criticism. I didn’t like to admit it at the time, since my criticism was not answered while at the same time it was me who was… Read more »

It’s a cult mentality, encouraged by the Federal government-purchased media, and there is no defense except exhaustion, or perhaps distraction. The distraction may be when the government come to realise they have a 50% deficit and the tax base has been destroyed by their actions.
The disheartening thing about it is that all these career health official bureaucrats and local elected committee members (councils, etc) seem to be speaking with one Voice. I am reminded of the old Soviet Union and other such places where the pleasure of being part of the the nomenklatura and apparat structure was to enforce people to stand in line (or in Ontario: ‘Do your part -stay apart’) and beg for consideration, whilst no such rules applied to those making them.

Few commenters still do not realize criticality of Koch postulates not only in context of massive COVID fraud but germs theory of communicable diseases itself. All that despite many OFFG posts about it. Some even read fat books of nonsense used for indoctrinating generations of doctors to justifying, brushing off severe problems with modern germ technologies, diagnostics and phenology of viral communicable diseases. While those books are brushing off Koch postulates as outdated and outmoded they do not explain why Koch postulates are allegedly inapplicable to viruses or bacterial infections. In fact anti-viral-disease vaccines technology and manufacturing is actually mostly based on Koch/Rivers postulates like purification and isolation of virus, attenuation, and inoculation to CAUSE specific immune response and hence to prevent or moderate symptoms of specific diseases. The virus isolation and purification is critical to achieve that. If vaccine fail to do so it means that original virus which… Read more »

In UK mainstream ‘news’ is identifying towns which “may be subjected to a Leicester style lockdown”. One immediately noticeable fact is these are areas with high ‘BAME’ populations. Cohencidence? I think not, it helps the narrative that the ‘virus’ is ‘racist’, and by extension we are racist.

Yesterday, Quest Diagnostics, one of the country’s largest medical-testing companies, said that its [ct-qPCR testing] systems were overwhelmed.. Any plan to contain the [SC2] virus will depend on fast and accurate [ct-qPCR] testing, which can identify newly infectious people before they set off new outbreaks. Without it, the U.S. is in the dark. But how accurate and specific their tests are. They are neither accurate nor specific at all, according to Manufacturer Creative Diagnostics website.

Does anyone have a link to reports, where people with symptoms have been tested and then gives in % terms which of them actually tested positive for the virus.
The daily Belgian report previously seemed to have a section which dealt with testing in care homes, and that appeared to indicate that three out of four residents with symptoms, actually tested negative for the virus. Regrettably the report format has changed and my limited linguistic skills preclude me from confirming if that is correct or that data is still being produced. I’m also unable to access the archived reports (if available) to link to, for someone to translate.
Having that information will give me a better idea as to exactly where untested symptomatic cases may belong.

Interesting development. In NL these numbers were published on a daily basis here https://www.rivm.nl/coronavirus-covid-19/actueel
But seem now to have dissapeared.

Last time I looked the number of positive pcr/number of tested (PCR positives) on a daily basis (somewhere in June) the pcr positive rate was <5 percent. In March this number was 30%.

My gut feeling tells me that they don’t want to show this number anymore since they loosened most of the measures here (and increased the no. Of testing). Of course a much better heading would be number of positive covid cases increases! When you want to show a second wave, instead of showing the number of pcr positives/number of tested that will likely remain to be very low at least until autumn when a new flu season starts…

If you look at the official figures for ALL deaths from all causes in England and Wales (UK) (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/deaths/datasets/weeklyprovisionalfiguresondeathsregisteredinenglandandwales) you can see that there HAS been a SLIGHT increase over a few weeks compared to previous years and that now the death rate is slightly lower than usual. It looks like vulnerable people in OAP residences and BAME health workers – both groups of which are vaccinated against the flu every year (a known aggravator for CV-19 and pneumonia according to the US military (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X19313647?via%3Dihub)) – have been hurried towards their demise, while the rest of us will suffer the horrible consequences of trashing the economy and the eventual vaccine that will be forced on us.

The only true fact is total deaths of all causes.

 
In the future historians looking at a graph of all cause mortality will be completely unable to detect from the graph when this “once in a century public health crisis” happened.

The original classification as novel coronavirus-infected pneumonia (NCIP) is news to me. Also the claim that it only those with pneumonia that are at risk. A well explained article what is happening in Canada is happening in many parts of the World. This is not a secret. They admit it. You have to dig to find some of the information but it is there. The question is why have so many countries changed there way of counting deaths. Resulting in inflating numbers.   The scientific adviser to Italy’s minister of health, Professor Walter Ricciardi, said: “The way in which we code deaths in our country is very generous in the sense that all the people who die in hospitals with the coronavirus are deemed to be dying of the coronavirus……On re-evaluation by the National Institute of Health, only 12 per cent of death certificates have shown a direct causality from… Read more »

After 6 months of this it seems rather obvious (well at least to me) that this “pandemic” has nothing to do with science. It is a coordinated action to bring down economies and along with that Baby Boomers. Population reduction through degraded financial and personal health.
 
“So why can the virus not enter by the eyes. Why do masks not cover eyes.”
Again, logic has no play in the visible public debate on CNN or BBC. Such question will never be heard there.

Then I read that the Helicobacter Pylori was said to be the cause, but there were also people having this “germ” but they did not develop any ulcer. The same with the Hepatitis virus (I don’t temember which one), it was said to cause the disease, but there were also people with this virus having no disease at all. No damage to their liver. Then later in the article it was mentioned that the working of a virus had not been understood.

Just as an exercise, I googled “Fauci takes off mask” to see if it made it on the MSM radar. I even sorted the search by video only. Nothing. Not even a mention. All that came up were videos of Fauci castigating a Republican politician for asking him why he reneged on his original declaration that masks weren’t necessary. I read the comments and realized that I’ve been coocooned somewhat by visiting only OffG, The Corbett and Report and Jon Rappoport over at nomorefakenews to get my news.

Apparently isolating the virus means that the virus must follow Koch’s postulates:
 
“About 150 years ago, scientists painstakingly constructed a set of principles that can prove whether a particular microbe is the cause of a specific disease or is just a bystander. Those three principles are known as the Koch postulates.”
https://off-guardian.org/2020/06/09/scientists-have-utterly-failed-to-prove-that-the-coronavirus-fulfills-kochs-postulates/
 
So if the virus doesn’t comply with the postulates, then it’s not the cause of this disease, it’s “just a bystander”. So the actual cause of this disease hasn’t been isolated, I’m guessing?

As everyone should know,when reading a scientific paper you read the abstract first and then the methods before or in combination with reading and interpreting the results.How did the authors define various terms?Did they define all terms used?These authors use the term isolate.How does their use of the term square with the way others use it?

Check on what criteria ,if any , the authors used to clinically determined if the patient had COVID 19.
As far as I could determine the authors made no attempt to purify the so-called isolate.What density gradient did they use ?
They took an electronmicrograph ,but of what?
What did they refer it to ?An EM of a particle that had also been derived from an unpurified ,non-isolated sample?

Let’s say that our Overlords and technocrats are bombarding the corporate media with stories of how Unicorns are creating this horrible disease that is killing gazillions of people. By Koch’s postulates, the first thing one would have to do is to trap a Unicorn and display it to the public in a non-fraudulent fashion, such as sticking a horn on the forehead of a common horse. This is the FIRST thing one must do. Analogous to isolating a virus. But this is only the first step of the four steps of Koch’s postulates. My research indicates that even this has not been done. There are a few claims but when one digs into them in the details, they are fraudulent.

When it was extracted from human tissue, it is mixed with many things. And this far no virologist ever purified what they claimed to be the genetic code of a virus. So it could be the genetic code of whatever in the extracted sample. And I haven’t seen any papers proving that that genetic code caused disease called covid19.

The editors said they were ‘forced’ into publishing the nonsense because the backers of it had abused the criteria for publication.

This has nothing to do with the scientific method. It has to do with whether oligarchs can have fraudulent papers published in “respected” scientific journals and escape public discovery and ridicule. If one fraudulent paper is exposed out of 20, does that mean that “it works?” James Corbett has done two masterful videos on just this, indicating that about about half the papers in the medical journals’ results cannot be duplicated. Another favorite of Big Pharma is to construct an abstract that is refuted by the actual details of the body of the article, since few physicians ever go beyond reading the abstract. As to the Lancet article, it was submitted by two bit hoaxsters with the aim of discrediting HCQ, but the billionaire who paid them to do this has not been exposed.

Find a paper that says all of this but also offers possible explanations as to why a vaccine can’t be made from it.All that would be needed was the shape of the virus.If they genuinely have one isolated they’ll have all they need to copy the shape.Then they’ll have the vaccine.

Not really an idiot, I think. In late January I was using a grinder and the dust entered my nose and I felt it in the throat. Late at night my throat felt not fit. In the morning the throat was sore and a bit itchy and the nose were also aching and mucus started to flow. It lasted about 2 days as usual and gone on the 3rd day. It felt like the flu or common cold symptoms, but I did think at times that the dust caused it. It was before I knew about the terrain theory.

They want patients on ventilators though ventilators increase the chance of death.Almost everything they claim to know is turning out to be bullshit.Like the media programme designed to induce fear but not pass on any empirical truth.

I’d love to get this figured out. One of the main people who has stated this has been Dr. Andrew Kaufman. While the studies do claim to have isolated the virus particle… He disagrees with their definition of “isolate” and following on from that and other reasons he states the criteria for Koch’s postulates have not been met. I think the crux of his argument is that the process involves culturing the virus in vero cells, these cells especially when mixed with antibiotics (apparently commonly done) can produce exosomes, This can happen even at the late stages of the isolation process. These exosomes are then indistinguishable from virus particles when examined under the electro microscope. So you can’t know if the final result is an exosome or a virus. So I haven’t seen medically trained person try to debunk him on this. Watch his vids to get a better explanation.

Well enlighten us then…I don’t necessarily fully believe him however he certainly raises a number of points that require explanation. A comment on the exosome theory? Or maybe the RNA PCR tests? According to Kaufman as far as I understand it the samples being tested are of mixed material lung fluid (at least early on, this may have since changed) so we don’t know exactly the source of the genetic material. The test results are being conducted at quite high amplification or number of cycles (on the upper limits of what is considered accurate for PCR testing) The initial identification of the virus was based on only a 79.5% RNA match with SARS CoV-1.  He lays out his case and will explain these points better than me here https://www.bitchute.com/video/U2xM8ZJ0Xmdx/.

This is no substitute for a response from someone with proper qualifications, so I hope a virologist comes along to provide an authoritative response– and correct my amateurish opinion, if necessary.   The now-ubiquitous “Koosh ball” COVID logo, purportedly copied or based upon electron-microscope images, demonstrates that it’s possible to photograph viruses. But the devil’s in the details. From what I’ve read, isolating a virus is a complex and painstaking process. The identification is formally presented to the scientific community in the form of a peer-reviewed paper accepted and published by a scientific journal(s); the paper “shows the work”.   The paper may conclude that the virus is new, unique, etc. But it’s not the last word; it may be challenged or superseded by further studies. The proposed new virus may later prove to be less “new” or unique than originally theorized, or discredited entirely.    Scientists in the “paper-presenting” business typically present them to… Read more »

Even though the virus has not been isolated and the whole lockdown is, in my view, a crime against humanity, and even though I’m looking deeply into terrain theory at the moment and find it compelling, one thing seems to ‘confirm’ the existence of some sort of virus-like pathogen: the similar infection curves we see in all countries. In other words, the epidemiological evidence rather than the lab ‘evidence’ would appear to argue in favour of germ theory here. That the national infection curves all appear to obey historically established epidemic patterns is a factor I have cannot yet account for in terrain-theoretical terms…

Ponzi schemes and legitimate business opportunities are not the same thing, so expecting their development curves to be similar is moot. That said, your argument that the epidemiological curve could track a population’s susceptibility to some combination of fear mongering and a possible toxin and perhaps other elements – e.g. in our case we could add things like influenza in combination with the lockdown measures – makes sense. It sounds plausible to me anyway. Thanks for your answer!

It’s not the deaths so much as the cases: positive results from the PCR tests. The test is unreliable and should not be used for diagnosis, and yet the percentage of positives yielded per day has yielded a curve that is similar in shape from nation to nation and matches that of other epidemics. Something consistent is apparently being measured by the test. What it is exactly is unclear, but the development of its (apparent) prevalence in populations around the world mimics that of e.g. influenza epidemics.   There is so much data muddying going on it’s impossible to be sure about anything, but the shape of those curves suggests, strongly, that something consistent is being identified. We now have evidence that SARS-Cov-2 was identified in Spanish waste water back in March of 2019, so it is the onset of testing that begins the curves, not the sudden arrival of… Read more »

To Toby Russell  @ Jul 3, 2020 7:46 AM   Since, as you say, the PCR test is unreliable and should not be used for diagnosis, and also gives a large percentage of “false positives” for people who are symptom-free, we can ask ourselves what is it likely measuring? Probably just debris from random human genetic material (and not from an exogenous “virus”).   And since human beings are fundamentally the same throughout the world, it is not at all surprising that we would see similar patterns across the world.     I’m not convinced that the SARS-CoV-2 PCR test curves are really similar to curves for “other” “pandemics”, since what we have with COVID-19 is not a pandemic disease, but a pandemic of testing.     I’m also not convinced that many (or most) of the diseases that have traditionally been regarded as infectious are really such.

Thank you for your response.   I suppose we would have to define what we mean by “similar” but might well end up lost in detail and semantics.

This does not necessarily mean the curves describe infectiousness of or immunity to SARS-CoV-2; there may well be a better explanation, such as percentage of population tested, time of year, air-quality changes as the weeks pass, etc. I mean, if the shapes were notably, clearly different, that would be a different story, and epidemiologists such as Knut Witkowski would have shouted out about it.   But I am not invested either in germ or terrain theory, nor should anyone… Read more »

Since the customary elaborate Independence Day fireworks displays have also been canceled– can’t have people gathered in crowds “oohing and aahing”, you know, or masks catching fire from stray sparks– Gauleiter Wolf will have to find some other amusement to celebrate the holiday.
 
I’m guessing that he’ll spend the day on a balcony at his residence, picking off non mask-wearers on the street below with his Luger.

I will also say thank you for this article, especially as another fellow Canadian. There aren’t many articles like this on Canada’s response to the “pandemic”, or at least I haven’t seen any.
 
Based on my observations, my fellow classmates (high school) detest the measures, and the rich activist-hippie-tryhard ones were especially eager to donate money and virtue-signal their way to Downtown for BLM. Many others hit new lows in depression, myself included. This really is a terrible time.
 
So again, thank you!!!

It is said that “I think, therefore I exist.”
But I say, something exists when you think of it.
When you stop thinking, nothing exists.

Learn to meditate, just watching your breath.
Or do this: throw a coin or whatever upwards, follow it only to the point it stops in the air and started to fall. This should clear your mind. Keep that state. There should be no more depression and whatever.

Pneumonia isn’t part of the picture. So that was the initial lie.That’s why the initial name was changed.The respiratory trauma was presenting like altitude sickness. That’s why the patients put on the emergency oxygen were being wiped out.There wasn’t any bacteria or fluid on any lungs. The blood needed to be replaced and blood transfusions needed to be put in place.Breathing apparatus was killing them.Maybe that’s why millions were spent on them.No better way to boost the numbers.The key question for you, me and medicine is what the **** can do that to lungs ? Electromagnetic waves anyone ?   America has a Bill Gates.No other country does.He is the single biggest donor of billions to the WHO. He also funded The Imperial College London. Both projected ridiculous numbers.Both make the world’s population scared.And the WHO will always put out he narrative that everything begins in China.Because Gates isn’t Chinese… Read more »

Noooo! Not Alex Jones! lol Did y’all ever read what Jones’ own lawyer said about him in court?
 
“At a recent pretrial hearing, attorney Randall Wilhite told state District Judge Orlinda Naranjo that using his client Alex Jones’ on-air Infowars persona to evaluate Alex Jones as a father would be like judging Jack Nicholson in a custody dispute based on his performance as the Joker in “Batman.”
“He’s playing a character,” Wilhite said of Jones. “He is a performance artist.””

Back in 2008, a friend introduced me to Jones’ site. So I watched his shows for a few weeks and thought he was for real, just passionate about it. By September of that year, I was convinced he was fake–just a loud salesman. So yeah, I can see how people believed in him, Jura Calling:)

The US is a ‘show’ culture, the show is the ‘stand up’ personality where the medium blocks the message.
But every facet offer the opportunity to recognise who you are NOT.
If you need to demonise another, is it because they represent something we have not released in our selves.
 
I look for relational honesty rather than ‘impactful or branded presentations.

No 😉   Are you interested in exploring the theme or predisposed to taking everything personally? I offered no offence to your person.   Alex Jones attracts viewers on the basis of joining in ‘justified hate’ which serves the purpose of substituting for love’s honesty and is a form of demonising or invalidating such as to claim virtue from victimhood. That there is factual information within propaganda seeking emotional investment (by reaction) is the weaving of truth into a frame of lies. If you recognise the framing of a communication as an attempt to trick or coerce, then you are wise not to react to it at face value, but step back and decode its true content – which will be an alloy of a genuine communication framed in distortions of possession and control. However, the genuine communication may be entirely unconscious to one who knows not what he does… Read more »

I thank you for your civil response.   A mind of judgement masks and substitutes for our reality. You could call this the ‘Matrix’ only it is NOT really being done to you by evil overlords – unless of course you insist! More a mechanical set of parameters running while the heart and mind are in communication breakdown.   Our true ‘depth’ is revealed perspective upon our own judgements or conditioned learning. This is like the wave-field-view rather than the particle in its own spin. Like free awareness rather than a lockdown attention.   Until we accept or awaken responsibility for our thoughts and perception, they run as our ‘worldview’ or identity. We are in a sense addicted to our own thinking until the light gets in.   Competing judgements or stories operate ‘power struggle’ as if to have the final say, and be right or vindicates on the wrong… Read more »

Why people believed him was because he did a lot of good stuff and exposed a lot.Then the crap all fell on it and we all got tarred by the conspiracy nutcase brush..typical of a paid shill..all he does now is get his foot soldiers to say he was banned for being too dangerous..that way they all go and eat what he’s serving..

I like his old conspiracy documentaries and interviews. I was late to the party on him. By 2008 he was getting pretty obvious so even I could notice he was off. My friend who had introduced me to him said he was way more convincing in the early 2000s.

The two ‘biggies’ were Sandy Hook and James Holmes ( Batman killings).At least one was a horrendous false flag / psyop.Probably both.Jones did good stuff on both and so did many others.The debate was fair.But Trump came in and gave the blanket banning of both the kind of emergency status as Bush gave Bin Laden.Jones told us all he had suffered some insanity or bi polar but then it left once it had all been taken offline.Since then he’s spent his time selling brain juice and telling everyone that Israel’s man on the inside- Trump- is ‘the real deal’ and ‘a humanist’.Silly bastard.

Looking at his filmography, I think Terrorstorm was the last one I saw. The Police State ones and a couple 9/11 ones. Sandy Hook and James Holmes events were horribly tragic and bizarre deserving a lot more questions, but Alex Jones was an awful source for that. He lost his court cases and appeals afterall. He’s a millionaire, had the resources to really do a good investigation, and then he gets to court and fails. Now recently he tried to sell toothpaste that he said kills the coronavirus:D

Agreed. He’s a shill now and he’s selling snake oil( non fluoradated snake oil of course). Ironic. He shouts, he screams and he lies.Then tries to sell his ‘brain juice’.

These health “experts” in Collin County need to be certified and jailed for life. They are the type of human beings who spend all their time in office environments totally divorced from the realities of life whilst enjoying large salaries at the public expense. They are a real danger to us all.

Not enough COVID deaths to scare people into submission, mandatory face masks, new lockdown ? Let’s make up more COVID deaths in cynical way by peddling conspiracy theory of undercounting of deaths of those who were actually never sick of COVID but supposedly died of COVID. As almost catch all definition of COVID deaths that already overcounts up to 90% of COVID deaths was not enough to scare people to death they desperately resort to lies about supposed undercount applying old Wall Street accounting fraud of making up fake realities. Filth from CNBC: Our analyses suggest that the official tally of deaths due to Covid-19 represent a substantial undercount of the true burden,” Dan Weinberger, an epidemiologist at Yale School of Public Health and a lead author of the study, told CNBC. Weinberger said other factors could contribute to the increase in deaths, such as people avoiding emergency treatment for… Read more »
