Daily Derp: Following Science Off A Cliff

I looked at Canada's case to death trajectory. 

I started on March 15 the first day we began recording. I then followed in one-month blocks.

I looked at Canada's case to death trajectory. 

I started on March 15 the first day we began recording. I then followed in one month blocks. Here's what I found and won't surprise anyone here but it's always worth putting it down like this.

March 15: 244 cases; 1 death. .41%

April 15: 27 046; 903. 3.3%

May 15: 73 401; 5472. 7.5%

June 15: 98 776; 8146. 8.2%

July 15: 108 475; 8798. 8.1% 

August 15: 121 652; 9020. 7.41%

September 22: 143 649; 9217. 6.4%

Notice cases are going up while total number of deaths have dropped as well as at the death rate.

Mask fanatics.

Probably the best video you'll see about this tired and worn out mild epidemic.

*****

Justice Department identifies New York, Seattle and Portland as places that allowed violence to take place.

Some funny politics memes. And by funny, I mean making fun of Bumbling Biden.

More evidence emerges in the Weiner saga. 

Probably one of the most disgusting stories you'll read about Biden and how Democrats operate.

His big, arrogant mouth cost the lives of Navy Seals who killed Bin Laden.

Remember how much they bragged about that? Him and that other guy Barry.

Dr Heneghan of CEBM: Low circulation, low risk. Covid-19 is now seasonal.

Be vigilant.

No need for masks.

But don't expect science when Justin gives his Throne speech. Imagine that. A man so disgraced and filled with scandals is going to give a 'road map' out of this mild epidemic. He's going to blind us with science.

I wouldn't let Justin read me a map out of Vermont, let alone lead the country out of this.

The only thing I want to hear is him resigning.

*Update. Payette read the speech. Two of the most discredited members of Parliament speaking for the country. This government must fall.

Meanwhile, some study in Ontario predicts deaths with rise to 7500 by January in the province. It currently sits around 2300.

Forming policy based on predictions is what got us in the mess and needs to stop.

Remember when Tam said we could see 22 000-40 000 deaths by April?

How she's still holding her job is beyond comprehension.

Here we are in September, and media is still reputing on these idiotic models.

Deaths won't rise to 7500.

The peak of this virus's lethality has long since passed. It already did it's damage in the spring and now it's infecting the young and healthy where the survival rate is well north of 99%.

Just on a basic logic level the model makes no sense. I suppose it's assuming the winter will be brutal but this virus seems to like the dampness of late winter/early spring weather.

There's but one way to handle this now. Go on with your life and measure it like we do influenza.

We've done everything we could. Keep encouraging social distancing and hand washing. NO RESTRICTIONS. NO LOCKDOWNS. NO MASKS.

Canadian woman who tried to kill Trump from Laval. Where the heck did she get ricin?

Interesting that the criminal jerk offs who run Twitter kept her lunatic Tweets threatening to kill him up (and others like that) but censored Trump's Tweets.

I truly hope Trump knocks that punk Dorsey on his ass.

*****

Open letter from 1700 medical professionals and nearly 400 citizens asking the Belgian government to follow the actual science.

It's preposterous we have to beg public health officials to knock it off.

I have a (dormant) Fall of the West segment that covers these sorts of stories .

It's not surprising the people behind the 1619 Project don't stick to their intellectual principles because, well, the project never had any. It was just a flimsy, piece of revisionism rooted in race. 

Academia has been infiltrated and assaulted by far left dogma and identity politics. We've known this for quite some time. I forget where I read this (Pew?), but at one point in the 1950s and 60s, the ratio  of Democrat to Republican professors was in the area of 2:1 or 3:1. Now it's 12:1.

Another field that has fell to special interest and corruption is science. Big pharma has its tentacles in reputable journals.

And with it, like academia, threatens the very core and integrity of such publications.

The way I see it is we're going through a hysteria and Dark Age at the same time. This explains the bad science policy in full gear at the moment.

Very unwise and foolish people control policy. 

One can only hope that as they fall, a new period of enlightenment can be relaunched.

One can hope.

What to expect from first generation vaccines.

Masks make no difference in Minnesota. And Nashville: 

Know where else they make no difference?

QUEBEC.

*****

Pennsylvania court joins Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois in declaring lockdowns illegal. Sadly, it also ruled mail ballot votes can still be counted three days of the election. It raises concerns this could tip the state for Biden. Philadelphia is ground zero for voter fraud.

In any event, hopefully Galati can do the same for Ontario. I believe there are Quebec lawyers who planned to challenge the government but haven't heard much yet. Galati is definitely at the forefront.

At least Van Morrison is on our side.

The virus doesn't care about your shitty restrictions.

Some information on where we're at with the virus.
