Canada's Approach Is Wrongheaded And Doomed To Fail; UK Tries Unreliable Mass Testing Based On Bad Science. What can go wrong?

All it will accomplish is to continue to install fear and angst in people.

This virus is not lethal and restrictive measures will NOT work.

An Open Letter from Belgian doctors and citizens that worked. 

Canada needs to mobilize. Trudeau, Ford and Legault are running Canada into the ground based on BAD SCIENCE.

Their thinking is backwards. They claim excessive measures will stop the spread and therefor avoid lockdowns to keep the economy going.

Lockdowns should not even be considered a viable strategy at this point.

What they're on the path to doing is to continue the slaughter of civil liberties and economic activities. In other words, their thoughtless actions will have the opposite effect.

People. If you haven't seen enough from the first round of lockdown madness and its horrible impacts you need to pay closer attention.

And what worries me is the precedence being set here. We need to reign this national psychosis in. The coronavirus is simply not dangerous enough for us to lose everything we've built in terms of our freedoms and our economic health. Equally troubling is the negative consequences to our overall intellectual and mental health.

They have lit a match and set our civilization ablaze.

Case in point is the UK's mad plan to test 1 million people a day even while acknowledging the test will produce massive false positives. 

"All tests generate some false positives and false negatives. The consequence of high false negative rates are most serious in symptomatic people who can transmit disease while false positives become a problem when individuals and their contacts have to self-isolate unnecessarily. Even with a specificity of 99%, government proposals to do ten million tests a day, will generate tens of thousands of false positive results, causing unnecessary but legally enforced isolation of both cases and contacts with potentially damaging consequences for the UK economy and for civil liberties."

It's a national tragedy waiting to happen as per BMJ and other sources. They're experimenting on people and we should all be concerned for what's about to likely happen in the UK.

A nation with a proud scientific legacy has now fallen to superstition and panic.

Canada would be wise to whistle past the grave. Ignore any policy ideas from the UK. It's human poison. A majority of Britons support the lockdowns. They can't be helped at this point.

Lack of transparency is a feature here in Canada. The difference between American and Canadian transparency is at least in the USA it's all in the open for the most part. You just have to search it out or ask for it. Not perfect but you can get a lot of information. Even during the Coronavirus it's much easier to gain access to readily available information.

It's much more of a challenge in Canada. It runs like a private old boys network and you ain't in it. 

Both countries have obscene corruption levels and it has been allowed to go on unchecked. Perhaps it's time for a reset. But it only starts when people become aware and care.

And so it is with the vaccines. We just don't have enough information to make an informed decision. There's not only a lack of communication between state and citizens but a lack of trust as well.

This is bound to foster skepticism and cynicism.

They've bungled every step of the way for the pandemic with measures that had little impact on the spread but a massive one on the society at large that had nothing to do with the virus.

They continue to be blinded as they pour extraordinary energy and resources into a virus that is simply not lethal. 

A survival rate well north of 99% does NOT demand these continued draconian 'concepts'.

And my guess (and hope really) is for the virus to weaken to a point where the vaccines may not even be necessary. 

Our governments have conditioned people to believe in the vaccine. This is foolish.

But foolish people make decisions.

We can but hope the damage is limited. 

Or Roy Rogers comes in and saves us all.

Yipee ki-yay motherfuckers!
