Tam's Law

'Life has become better. Life has become gay." Joseph Stalin.

The rule of law has been replaced by the rule of epidemiology in Canada apparently.

Dr. Theresa Tam (yes, she's still around and bigger, badder and better than ever) declared the epidemiological trends will guide us this past week.

This is a euphemism for 'letting the virus control us'. Which is essentially what we've done since 'flatten the curve'. 

15 days to flatten the curve. Two years to flatten everything else.

And you're gonna be happy about it.

As we've seen, the Canadian courts have yet to reign in the extraordinary excess abuse from politicians and public health officials. They've shown themselves to be timid and cowardly stewards and protectors of the Charter and Bill of Rights and complicit accomplices in the “emergency” false narrative. 

The excuse used to justify its inaction, the courts assert they do not want to challenge the legislature. Except, that's the role of the judiciary is it not? The courts have not in these past two years upheld the Charter or Bill of Rights and this should be of concern to all Canadians. Why have laws if it's so easy to sidestep them? 

How weak were our laws ostensibly in place to protect our rights if epidemiology and science can push it aside. 

You're always at war with Eastasia.

The scientific-technocratic class seems incapable of adjusting and accepting to new data and the cold hard fact that measures and mandates have been a catastrophic failure. 

They seem oblivious to the real world consequences of the recommendations they espouse. A new trend that has emerged is for behavioral scientists to take the mantle of paternalism and explain to people exactly what to do to ‘live with virus’ because they’re obviously incapable of doing so on their own without the enlightened guidance of our ‘expert class’. 

Epidemiologists continue to call for the same, stale measures that have been discredited not only by the ever growing literature but by simple real world observation. For example, in calling for lockdowns continuously since 2020 and government foolishly obliging, this has led to record unemployment, a contracting labour market and business closures. More recently, inflation and the restricting of income has led to higher gas and food prices and shortages. This can all be correlated to lockdowns through our policies (Covid itself did not throttle the civil order. We did by choice and of free will. We decided ourselves into believing there were no options. There are always options) often at the behest and hysterical demands of the scientific and medical class. 

As if this wasn’t enough, they have also helped nurture a fractured society along medical status lines having helped to create conditions to scapegoat the unvaccinated. For example, misleading the public without proper context there was a ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’ led to mandates directly removing their basic civil rights to mobility. It even came close to taxing them. Now, the trend has reversed itself as we’re seeing the vaccinated making up most of the ‘cases’ and hospitalizations. If the science and medical class along with the media had any sense of fairness, they’d call for a taxing of the vaccinated. no?

Of course not. Now we’re being told the latest variant and rise in “cases” is due to the decision to lift measures. That we’re ‘defences’ without a mask mandate. Masks that have very little to no impact on mortality of transmission. 

Which raises the question, how much responsibility do experts shoulder for the state of confused affairs we find ourselves in? That is, they seem to be disconnected to the fact that when they call for measures, they also signal people to be fearful. In turn, people then put pressure on elected officials to ‘do something’.

So.

Here's what we've got going in Canada.

The quasi-Zero covid policy goal is to keep cases down (good luck with that. It's not like we don't have plenty evidence this is simply not practical or feasible ), while still peddling stale and useless measurers. 

As if this wasn't enough, now the latest trend is to get people to accept the paternalism of behavioural scientists telling us we have no agency and that we must be guided by their enlightened hands.

Mind you, for some people this is exactly what they deserve. Like who? Say, people who still cling on to masks like Linus's blanket? 

None of these recommendations have proven successful or helpful. On the contrary, they have confused and mislead people. 

No matter. Dr. Tam will keep to her ‘models’. Models that are under scrutiny in the United Kingdom as the SAGE now finds itself having to take responsibility for their excessive ‘doomsday’ predictions as well as behavioural scientists who admit to having ‘nudged’ people to far and hard potentially permanently psychologically damaging a portion of the population. Epidemiology is not meant to be a means to end in determining public health policy. It's supposed to be a guide; a tool.

Then we have to hope those experts are endowed with common sense. 

Our so-called experts think this is the tool to guide us out of....well no one is clear.

Nevertheless, get that regiment of boosters despite the complete lack of evidence to their safety and effectiveness! 

As the world drops mandates, it feels like the country doesn't want to get out of it. Canada is currently one of the very few countries in the world with emergency measures still in place including mandates. 

Canadians, being the gullible and naive sort, have confused obedience with virtue exhibiting their own version of a closed loop logic with the added feature of Stockholm Syndrome.

But it’s ok. Behavioural scientists will walk us our of the forest and into….another forest.
