Here’s yesterday’s two to three minutes of hate, from the Toronto Star’s very own Bob Hepburn:

We are long past the time of being nice and being empathetic toward anti-vaxxers and trying to win them over with carrots — as opposed to the sticks that are much-needed vaccine passports and stiff restrictions.

It’s time that they — not the vast majority of us who are vaccinated — paid the price.

Ooh, not without a jimmy hat, Bobbie.

Note that stiff restrictions and vaccine passports aren’t needed for “public health”, they’re needed to punish the disobedient and anyone who dares to question the benevolent wisdom of the state or the motives of their beholden media.

Basically, Bobbie’s demanding that otherwise perfectly healthy people be discriminated against because they don’t trust the motives behind things like stiff restrictions and vaccine passports. Good thing Bobbie clarified what those motives are.

So what exactly is up Hepburn’s ass here anyway?

I’m fed up with the anti-vaxxers, who seem unbothered by the threat they pose to my health, feeling targeted because they may lose their job, won’t be able to fly on a plane, eat at an indoor restaurant or attend a hockey game or music concert.

You see, poor Bobbie’s health is being threatened (me me me!) because, of course, his vaccination will in no way protect him from the diseased anti-vaxxers, so anyone who questions his obviously brilliant logic and the motives behind all of this insanity should be made to suffer.

Maybe Bob Hepburn is worried that there won’t be enough capacity at the local hospital for when he might need it. Obviously this would be the fault of those selfish fucking anti-vaxxers and not the government, as some delusional idiot named Bob Hepburn suggests.

I’m fed up with the Trumpist-like mobs in Canada hurling pebbles and insults at Justin Trudeau, picketing hospitals, screaming at diners on restaurant patios and demonstrating outside politicians’ homes.

I don’t remember the Star denouncing violence at Black Lives Matters protests, or screaming at diners, or harassing politicians at home. I don’t recall the Star questioning coordinated, violent threats, intimidation, and attacks by BLM against US federal property and personnel carried out over a period of months, in some cases literally wresting control from local governments and law enforcement – no way you can call any of that an attempted insurrection. Damn Trump!

Oh, but I forgot that this sort of comparison must never be made because I have the wrong colour of skin and besides we’ve all already been told what to believe and now just need shut up, kneel, and obey.

I think my favourite boneheaded statement in this piece of drivel has got to be:

Finally, I’m fed up with politicians who are basically protecting these irresponsible people who are making life miserable for all of us.

Bob says it’s actually anti-vaxxers and protesters that are making life miserable. After all, it’s not government and politicians who force lockdowns and restrictions on people, who cut hospital funding, etc. We should put the blame on the people pushing back against the restrictions and not the people enacting them because clearly up is now down, north is south, and we have always been at war with Eastasia.

These “irresponsible people” have no reason to doubt the shady, rushed deals between an admittedly murderous, callous, and oppressive government and their cadre of hugely profitable, deceptive, and dangerous pharma bros. Resistance and questions are illogical, unlike Hepburn’s unquestioning obedience, and these deplorable irresponsibles need to be crushed under the boot of the state. Maybe that’ll learn ’em to doubt politicians and bureaucrats!

And why shouldn’t we trust the perfect creatures of the state with all their omnipotence and omniscience? They “flattened the curve” in May 2020, then again in April, then again in October, then again in November, and again in January of this year. Yep, they know what they’re doing and they have everything under control. Science FTW!

Maybe I’m being too harsh; we’re always learning something new about Covid so what may have been correct back then won’t be correct now. Things that might’ve been effective yesterday may no longer be effective today. Those inconvenient Covid symptoms of last month may no longer be symptoms this month.

There’s just so much we don’t know.

Unless it’s about Covid vaccines, of course, in which case we know all there is to know, with absolute and unfaltering certainty, case closed, discussion ended, “science” has spoken, and now let’s put that shit into everyone as quick as we can and demonize anyone who questions it in any way.

And on that note you can get back to your regularly scheduled book burning.

Recently the Toronto Star had to write an “explanation” of why an article they’d written a couple of days prior came across as overtly inciting hatred against the unvaccinated.

Because, obviously, that’s not what they do.

Obviously.

The follow-up does use the word “sorry”, not because they actually did it but because the formatting of the headlines “sowed confusion”. Not only is this a flaccid half-apology but it’s also bullshit. In fact, they pull this sort of crap regularly, without reservation, and with no apologies.

For example, they give voice to hateful, racist, divisive rhetoric like that of Shree Paradkar who openly lambasts “(mostly) white covidiots” (then swiftly changes her tune when new evidence emerges), and reminds readers that it’s white people that are basically the original source of all evil everywhere.

Then there’s Royson James who not-so-subtly threatens white people with violence, looting, and destruction unless they take a knee to his own unbelievably twisted, racist, ignorant viewpoint.

And lest we forget Vinay Menon who supports screaming obsenity-laced rants against “covidiots” by people like Tom Cruise. “Good for YOU!”, concludes a giddy Mennon in his article.

No, the Toronto Star’s latest attempt to incite hatred, violence, and sow division wasn’t an accident, mistake, or a one-off. This is par for the course at the ignominious rag and has been for some time. They were simply seeing how far they could take it and this time around there were just too many complaints to ignore. You can be certain that they wouldn’t have issued an “explanation” if so many people weren’t “confused”.

Of course they’re not the only ones to do this but they’re among the most consistent and vocal. This toilet paper masquerading as news openly engages in hate speech and incitement to violence (which I thought was a crime here in Canada), and gets away with it every time.

Apparently it’s perfectly fine for some publications to promote hate and violence while those not toeing the line of state propaganda get shut down and criminally charged for “consistently dehumanizing” identifiable groups of people. Clearly white people and the unvaccinated don’t count.

You don’t have to agree with their statements to see that there’s a massive double standard here.

First there’s this:

… a study of COVID-19 infections in Kentucky among people who were previously infected with SAR-CoV-2 shows that unvaccinated individuals are more than twice as likely to be reinfected with COVID-19 than those who were fully vaccinated after initially contracting the virus.

US Center for Disease Control, August 6, 2021

The number of people involved in this study – the sample size – is 438.

Second there’s this:

At least one non-scientist, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul (who previously worked as an eye doctor), went viral on Twitter with a claim that natural infection with COVID-19 offers better protection than the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, both of which have shown to be more than 94 per cent effective in late-stage clinical trials.

Actual scientists such as Gommerman and Kelvin dispute this assertion.

So far, both natural infection and vaccination look like they offer relatively effective and long-lasting protection — at least most of a year, based on when the pandemic and vaccine testing began.

CBC News, January 9, 2021

On top of vaccines being less effective than stated in the near term, they also don’t offer “long-lasting” protection (3 to 4 months is not “most of a year”). Now add to that one more thing that demonstrates that the “actual scientists” were wrong in every possible way:

“The study, led by Tal Patalon and Sivan Gazit at KSM, the system’s research and innovation arm, found in two analyses that never-infected people who were vaccinated in January and February were, in June, July, and the first half of August, six to 13 times more likely to get infected than unvaccinated people who were previously infected with the coronavirus.”

…

“It’s a textbook example of how natural immunity is really better than vaccination,” says Charlotte Thålin, a physician and immunology researcher at Danderyd Hospital and the Karolinska Institute who studies the immune responses to SARS-CoV-2.

Science Magazine, August 26, 2021

The sample size in this study is more than 32,000 people.

So here we have a shoddy study by the CDC with a relatively tiny sample size, along with broadly debunked claims about both vaccine safety (previously unknown side-effects) and efficacy (greatly reduced after about 6 months, hence the current talk of boosters), being broadly and quite arrogantly advertised to convince people that only government-mandated chemicals can give you immunity from Covid and this is why we NEED VACCINE PASSPORTS, NO EXEMPTIONS!! (but honour-system mask exemptions are just fine).

And twenty bucks says we don’t hear a peep about this from our national mainstream propaganda outlets here in Canada.

So what can we glean from this? Either the people constantly pushing vaccines and restrictions using the same old tired rhetoric are incompetent, liars, or just plain ignorant. At this point there simply is no fourth option.

In any event, the constant push to take away people’s freedoms based on shoddy science, manipulation, and often just straight-up lies, amounts to what can very accurately be called an absolute and unquestionable tyranny. The facts are evident and laid bare. Covid is simply a bludgeon to be wielded against the masses, science be fucked.

Dictatorship is also accurate if you compare the playbook that Canada is set to follow after places like Australia where people live under military curfews (actual soldiers walking the streets), violent police checkpoints, are allowed about the same time outside to exercise outside as prisoners in solitary confinement, told not to watch sunsets, told not talk to each other, having their heads kicked into pavement (after being run over and pepper sprayed), having cops show up at their door for simply questioning the wisdom of the state, and so on.

And our own beloved head of state says he absolutely will not back down from this. Oh, but it’s for “public safety”! Yeah … right.

It’s not cattle cars but the fact that the CDC mulls putting people into camps (sorry, “humanitarian settings“), shows that it’s very much an option. If this was an unthinkable option just like the vast amount of garbage that’s been imposed on people over the past year and a half, then by definition they wouldn’t think it, would they? After all, they aren’t proposing gunning people down in the streets as an option. At least not yet.

The demands for government tyranny and medical apartheid (yes, that is exactly what it is), aren’t backed by science or even common sense, this is simply a worldwide conspiracy (no longer just a theory!), for control and domination over people using the excuse of Covid, the hate-based lie of systemic anti-black racism, and the incessant and insane push for “equality” and “inclusivity” which are very obviously anything but. The fact that all Western nations and allies are basically in lock-step, not to mention other stark and direct evidence, demonstrates the simple fact that this was all planned.

And isn’t it just a tad coincidental that the rich, famous, and powerful are getting ready to fly into space? In the meantime we’re all being locked into our homes while we’re supposed to dream of the wonders of space tourism. Seems more like an escape plan for the overlords to me.

P.S. I spent the first 6 years of my life in Czechoslovakia when it laboured under full-on, old-school, Russian-style Communism. I don’t remember too much but between my assessments and those of my parents, I want to assure you, dear reader, that what’s happening now is not only equal to the types of shit that went down over there but is just on the cusp of far exceeding it. The jackboot of the state has arrived, comrade!

The headline read: “Unvaccinated people 8 times more likely to get infected, top doctor says“

Well this I have to see for myself, I thought.

It took me a while of reading through the parts in which government is moving the reporting goalposts before I got to get some sense of where this information came from. I’m assuming it’s from a recently published Public Health Ontario report:

In the past 30 days, unvaccinated individuals were approximately 8.0 times more likely to become a case of COVID-19 compared to fully vaccinated individuals (Figure 2).

My next question was, how do they classify “unvaccinated individuals”?

From the same document, near the end:

Unvaccinated individual refers to individuals that have not received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, as well as individuals that are not yet protected from vaccination (0 to 13 days following dose 1 administration).

So you’re “unvaccinated” if you’ve either received no vaccine or you’ve received your first one within the past two weeks. An unspecified number of these people will automatically be moving into the “partially vaccinated” category so maybe let’s not get too excited just yet.

Also note that if you combine the number of partially (16,800 [44.9%]) and fully vaccinated or “breakthrough” (1,988 [5.3%]) cases, you get a slightly higher percentage (50.2%) than unvaccinated cases (49.8%), keeping in mind that “unvaccinated” is interchangeable with “got the vaccine recently” and “didn’t get the vaccine at all”.

The headline could just as accurately have read, “Vaccinated people make up more than half of serious Covid infections”, but the newspapers are all in high gear with incessant DEMANDS FOR COVID PASSPORTS, DAMMIT!!

Putting the logical breaks on all of this obvious straight-outta-Berlin authoritarian bullshit is the simple, recent revelation that the vaccinated are just as likely to transmit COVID as the unvaccinated. Note:

The study identified 469 people with COVID-19, 74% of whom were fully vaccinated, following large public events in the state’s Barnstable County. Testing identified the Delta variant in 90% of virus specimens from 133 people.

The viral load was similar in people who were fully vaccinated and those who were unvaccinated, the CDC said.

High viral loads suggest an increased risk of transmission and raised concern that, unlike with other variants, vaccinated people infected with Delta can transmit the virus, it said.

The finding of the report “is concerning and was a pivotal discovery leading to CDC’s updated mask recommendation,” CDC director Rochelle Walensky said in a statement.

The phenomenon, known as a “leaky vaccine”, is when the fully vaccinated immune system fails to kill the pathogen, allowing it to be re-transmitted. This is why the Center for Disease Control revised their advice on masks, yet again.

So what we end up with is a bunch of vaccinated people who, despite their ostensibly benevolent aims, really end up protecting not society, not the public, not grandma and grandpa, not little baby Kevin, not sick aunt Josie … no one but themselves.

But now, with their elevated social status among “the fully vaccinated”, they may feel more free to socialize and be indoors with all the others like them, all very possibly entirely asymptomatic spreaders. If the high viral load of the Delta variant is a concern, isn’t the “unlikely” scenario of viral mutations, or replication errors, more likely when the numbers are increased?

Seems to me that it’s actually the vaccinated that pose the biggest threat to society, if the science and their incessant preachiness are to be believed. It’s unfortunate that they have so many irresponsible, highly-placed enablers willing to endanger the public and whose best solutions to the mutation-vaccine war is like something out of the Simpsons. In one episode an invasive species of lizard has escaped into Springfield. Initially wanting to eradicate the lizards, Principal Skinner learns that they’re killing all of the pigeons, or “common gutter birds”, which causes him to re-evaluate his position.

Skinner: “Well I was wrong. The Bolivian Tree Lizards are a godsend!”

Lisa: “But isn’t that a bit short-sighted? What happens when we’re overrun with lizards?”

Skinner: “No problem. We simply unleash wave after wave of Chinese Needle Snakes. They’ll wipe out the lizards.”

Lisa: “But aren’t the snakes even worse?”

Skinner: “Yes but we’re prepared for that. We’ve lined up a fabulous type of gorilla that thrives on snake meat.”

Lisa: “But then we’re stuck with gorillas!”

Skinner: “No, that’s the beautiful part. When winter time rolls around the gorillas simply freeze to death.” (walks away satisfied)

“Bart the Mother”, The Simpsons, Season 10, Episode 3

We’re now well beyond stage 3 in the provincial re-opening plans with no end in sight, “leaders” around the worlds are openly acting like tyrants and dictators segregating societies into the obedient and those who must be made to obey, and apparently after a year and a half of getting fucked over businesses everywhere are gagging for the opportunity to limit their numbers of customers in order to go along with this.

It’s mind boggling to think that there are still people who believe and even promote the dangerous claptrap of government & friends at this point. The mountain of horseshit is now so high that one would have to be dangerously delusional, a literal danger to themselves and society at large, not to see it toppling over. On the bright side, there’s probably a Pfizer or J&J drug for that!

We got to experience the wonders of MetCap and the assorted shell companies they use to hide their ongoing misdeeds but our building never took the opportunity to organize or stand up against them like the people of Parkdale did.

How about a musical interlude?

I loved this tune when it first came out; still love it today. And one guess as to where the video was shot.

Here are some basic facts:

1. COVID vaccine safety and efficacy is not tested by the government. The data is based solely on the vaccine producers’ own testing and given to the government’s “panel of experts” who simply review it. This is quite literally the honour system (see below) and vaccine approval in this case doesn’t mean rigorous testing.
2. The approval process for COVID vaccines has been fast-tracked, skipping various safety protocols (or maybe they exist just for the heck of it?). The “science” is not established and the government regularly updates its information as it’s uncovered.
3. COVID vaccine producer Pfizer was fined $2.9 billion for fraud, described as “blatant and continued disregard of the law … over an extended period of time”, one of numerous fines that the company has paid over the years for engaging in lies and deception. Their history of criminal recklessness in the name of profit (e.g. testing unapproved antibiotics on Nigerian children resulting in numerous deaths), goes back decades.
4. COVID vaccine producer Johnson & Johnson most recently settled a $26 billion lawsuit for downplaying risks of opioids (fraud), and helping to fuel the current North American opioid crisis. J&J has hundreds of thousands of pending litigation and has paid out billions in damages in additional lawsuits, many of them for fraud and misrepresentation.
5. COVID vaccine producer AstraZeneca settled tens of thousands of lawsuits for withholding drug safety information and misleading marketing.
6. COVID vaccine producer Moderna is known for its secrecy and lack of peer review, and for operating primarily for profit.
7. The Canadian government is supposed to require informed consent before drug and vaccine testing can take place in humans. Since, as the government affirms they were never completed, extended clinical trials of COVID vaccines are currently being performed on the mass Canadian public without any such consent.
8. Since they are relatively new, there is understandably no data on the long-term negative effects of any of the current COVID vaccines, thus making claims of “safety” dubious at best. Considering that new and unforeseen side-effects are being discovered on a regular basis it’s not unreasonable to assume that additional long-term effects will be observed. Additionally, efficacy data is subject to different interpretations, especially in the context of incomplete or incompatible data. As such, neither the safety nor efficacy of existing COVID vaccines is established, and based on current trends both parameters appear to be shifting negatively or are at least being called into question.
9. Vaccine makers have been shielded from any legal liability by the federal government over the COVID vaccines. The government has stringent filters on who is eligible for compensation and ultimately it will be taxpayers who will pay for any mistakes or malfeasance on the part of manufacturers. The government says that this is “normal”. In May of this year, despite numerous adverse vaccine reactions to COVID vaccines and 6 months after the initial announcement, the government had yet to consider any claims, stating only that they would be handled by a “third party”. That third party ended up being Ottawa-based RCGT Consulting, an accounting and tax firm.

Putting all of this together: the Canadian government, itself laying claim to a long history of ostensible “genocide” and other reprehensible behaviour, has granted legal immunity to companies that have engaged in mass fraud and deception resulting in death and injury, instead holding the public liable for any fraud or malfeasance, while trusting those same companies to provide the medical community and the public with information on safety and efficacy, information that is being shown to be increasingly “inaccurate” (to put it nicely).

Claims that this is being done for public health conflict strikingly with the government’s refusal to ban cigarettes which kill an estimated 48,000 people each year, often after long bouts in the hospital on respirators and other medical equipment, similar to COVID patients, of whom approximately 26,500 have died since the start of the pandemic a year and a half ago. The excuse of “protecting others” is shown to be a farce when compared to exposure from secondhand smoke, alone affecting roughly the same number of people as died from COVID. And the idea that big tobacco is so deeply entrenched in the system that it can’t be removed is both silly considering that the government pretty much shut down the whole economy, and yet more evidence that COVID measures have little to do with science or “protecting the public”. If rapacious big tobacco has such a hold on government, why wouldn’t big pharma with their history of greed, lies and death? As a result, why should government itself be trusted?

If it’s my choice to engage in a behaviour like smoking and expose those around me to that risk, one that results in a much higher and prolonged mortality than COVID, then the whole argument against my choice not to be vaccinated falls apart.

Even so, it’s not that I’m necessarily against vaccines but it seems quite obvious that putting trust in such a system and what it’s peddling is delusional bordering on dangerously insane. That vaccines are now increasingly being mandated and forced onto people worldwide puts a whole new and very sinister spin on things.
