More Anti-Vaxx Nitwittery
A FB user called Rob Dyck decided to respond to one of my comments about COVID, vaccines, the “trucker” convoy and other matters.
Rob Dyck: No, we're talking about the vaccine mandate. An experimental drug that has already killed thousands of people. That's worldwide, not just in Canada, but these COVID vaccines have already killed more people than the total of all the deaths due to vaccine injury for every vaccine ever developed anywhere in the world since the invention of vaccines. And many people who haven't died have suffered other other harms. Furthermore, a paper published in the journal Science last November detailed a study on vaccine effectiveness. the Pfizer vaccine was 35% effective against the Delta variant, 43.3% effective at preventing infection overall for all variants that existed in the United States at the time of the study. The study was last September, before Omicron. Moderna was 58% effective overall, and Johnson & Johnson 13.1% effective overall. Again this was before Omicron. And these statistics are for people who have the booster. Pfizer was 87% effective when it was first approved in December 2020, and it's still 87% effective against the Alpha variant, but with these new variants the vaccines are little more than a placebo. They're neither safe nor effective. All the TV ads the government bought with taxpayer money will not change that.
This is Canada. Under Canadian law coercing an individual to take a medication that he/she does not want is criminal assault. Depriving an individual of gainful employment unless that individual takes an experimental drug that has already proven to be neither safe nor effective? That's criminal.
Or do you still not understand that these experimental vaccines are not the same as other vaccines? The Polio vaccine was 99.9% effective at preventing infection. It required 3 shots, the first shot was only 90% effective, but with all 3 it was 99.9%. That effectiveness meant the disease could not survive in the body of someone vaccinated so the disease could not produce variants. Polio is not an RNA virus; there has never been a vaccine for any RNA virus before. One problem is any RNA virus mutates so damn fast that it produces variants so quickly that the vaccine will become useless before you have time to vaccinate the population. Oh, wait! That's exactly what happened with these COVID vaccines! Are you beginning to get it?
Furthermore, mRNA has never been used for any vaccine before. It's experimental and has already proven unsafe. Many individuals have myocarditis and pericarditis. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, pericarditis is the sack surrounding the heart fills with fluid. Both can subside, but they cause permanent irreversible heart damage. And in some cases individuals get multi-organ inflammation. That's because the immune system sees spike proteins for the virus coming from cells of the body. The immune system assumes these cells are infected, so attacks them. That means the mRNA vaccines cause a type of autoimmune syndrome. Inflammation of organs is very serious, life threatening.
The trucker protest started when Justin Trudeau brought in a rule that truckers are not allowed to cross the border unless they have proof of vaccination. That deprived them of gainful employment, they had nothing better to do than to protest to get their jobs back. If that rule was eliminated, they would just go back to work. End of protest. I realize some fools think this was about an attempt to remove the government, but it wasn't. All they wanted was removal of the COVID restrictions. And what I'm saying is you didn't need to remove them all, just the vaccine mandate. The requirement to take an experimental drug that has already proven to be unsafe and ineffective.
Justin Trudeau announced that travellers don't require a PCR test to enter Canada anymore, but proof of vaccination is required. That's backwards!
I decided to refute his points:
From beginning to end, your comment contains falsehoods and, given that we're now 2 years from the start of this pandemic, they must be called willful falsehoods. Lies, if you like.
There are NO laws, orders or anything else, that forces anyone to get vaccinated unless they choose to take part in certain activities (none of which are considered essential) or unless they choose to work in certain careers. The choice is still yours. What you cannot choose, though, is to infect others with your negligence.
Furthermore, it seems as though most of these requirements would be completely legal, as explained here:
https://www.tcwalkerlawyers.com/the-legality-of-mandatory-vaccination-policies-vaccine-mandates/
You might not like the “mandates”, but that doesn't make them illegal, unnecessary or dangerous. They are, in fact, a reasonable response to a dangerous pathogen.
The COVID vaccines simply HAVE NOT killed large numbers of people. Nothing supports that contention.
It's silly to call these vaccines “experimental”. As of March 7th, 2022, almost 11 BILLION doses of various COVID-19 vaccines have been administered around the world.
And although these vaccines have only been recently approved (as of late 2020 and early 2021), vaccines are not new to medical science, they have a proven track record of saving lives and even the RNA vaccines have been under development for close to 20 years.
https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2021/the-long-history-of-mrna-vaccines
And, although the anti-vaxx cult loves to focus on RNA vaccines, the fact remains that two types of RNA are found naturally in most cells of our bodies where they are central to the synthesis of proteins.
Your “data” on vaccine effectiveness is a good example of cherry picking from sites that happen to push the narrative that you believe in. Reputable sources do not agree:
https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/covid-19-vaccine-comparison
RNA actually HAS been used in vaccines before COVID. One of the first was a vaccine for Ebola, but since there was no commercial interest in the USA (Ebola being a disease primarily found in Africa) it wasn't developed at the time.
https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2021/the-long-history-of-mrna-vaccines
You go on and on about RNA vaccines and how new they are. In Canada, for instance, there are 6 COVID vaccines that have been approved. Only 2 of them are RNA vaccines. That leaves 4 more that might appear more “traditional” to you. There are also 4 different technologies in use here. Quick question: do you use smoke signals for communication or a cell phone? One of those is “new” and the other is traditional.
The fact that there have been few (not none, just few) vaccines against RNA viruses is a challenge and an opportunity. A challenge and an opportunity that the two leading mRNA vaccines have met.
Do you always just give up when new and challenging situations present themselves? Thankfully most scientists don't.
Myocarditis and related conditions can happen post-vaccination, but they are rare and are actually far more common following an infection from the virus. In fact, the risk of myocarditis post vaccine (perhaps 0.011%) is almost vanishingly small compared to the risk of myocarditis following a COVID infection (as high as 73 per million). Note that nearly ALL of these cases resolve themselves quickly with no lasting effects.
Yes, viruses do mutate, and mutations are especially likely in unvaccinated people or in countries where there is a large pool of unvaccinated people. Virus mutation is an argument FOR rapid vaccination, not against.
Full vaccination has been shown to suppress virus mutation frequency.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.08.21261768v1
The requirement for truckers to be vaccinated in order to cross back into Canada had been signaled for months. The US has a similar requirement, meaning that truckers wouldn't be able to get into the USA anyway. As you should know, international travel has been restricted and not advised for almost 2 years. One clear reason is the risk of bringing back a virus to Canada that wasn't here before. Vaccination will help mitigate that risk, even though YOU don't believe it. The data is clear on this.
And, quite frankly, full vaccination would pretty much negate the necessity of any testing, PCR or otherwise, because fully vaccinated individuals are far, far less likely to be carrying the virus.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19/fully-vaccinated
Some trucking companies indicated that since most of their drivers were vaccinated, they would just use the unvaccinated drivers within Canada. So there really wasn't an issue to begin with. Just a manufactured issue with a few people who disliked the government.
So all this furor was just concocted theater to cover up an attempted insurrection. An example of mob rule and nothing else.
So, I've gone to the trouble to find real facts to support my position., What do you have? YouTube videos and testimonials from anti-vaccine “champions”?

This Word Endemic - What Could it Really Mean?
After 2 years of this COVID pandemic and as people tire of various restrictions, closures and minor inconveniences, we hear the phrase "Learning to Live with the Virus". People, many of who never heard the word "Endemic" before this year, are tossing it around as if it's exactly where we are and we just need to move on. This scenario is apt:
Note: Some of this post relies on a Nature.com podcast that appeared on February 4th, 2022, called:
Coronapod: What People Get Wrong About Endemic COVID
Which in turn relied on another Nature article posted January 24, 2022, called COVID-19 - Endemic Doesn't Mean Harmless.
First, some definitions:
The term endemic just means that rates of new cases of the virus are more or less static - not rising, not falling. Many diseases are endemic, like the common colds and influenza. So are malaria and polio (in some parts of the world) and so was smallpox, but vaccines managed to consign that one to the medical history books.
The thing to keep in mind is that many diseases can be endemic and relatively harmless (like the cold) and others can be endemic and deadly. Malaria, for example, kills around 600,000 people each year (so far, COVID has killed around 6 million in 2 years). TB killed 1.5 million people in 2020. Just because something is endemic doesn't mean it like a case of the sniffles.
The other misconception is that viruses will evolve to become less virulent - less harmful. I've seen many "Facebook PhDs" make that very claim in the past few months.
There is NO biological justification for making that claim. With COVID, for example, most of the infection and transmission happens before symptoms appear. There is NO reason for the virus to mutate and become more harmless. Alpha and Delta were more virulent than the original Wuhan strain. And now we have Omicron, which, while seemingly causing less severe disease, is FAR more transmissible, and we ought to know what THAT means by now. More transmission means more replication and more possible mutations. There is NO guarantee what those future mutations will bring.
As the article points out, lazy optimism is NOT the answer. We have tools - vaccines, antivirals, testing and several simple public health practices like masks, distancing and air ventilation. And we need to engage these tools around the world. Any remaining part of the world where the virus replicates unhindered is a danger to us all. Remember, every variant we've come to know and love over the past 2 years was first identified in a different part of the world where uncontrolled replication and transmission was happening - the UK, India, South Africa. They ALL ended up spreading around the globe.
And remember, while the enemy is at the gates, it doesn't matter if we're tired of it or not.
Snippets from the Attempted Insurrection
It's February 17th, 2022. The Attempted Insurrection in Ottawa is now over the 3-week mark.
This is a timeline from start to now:
Apparently one DQ franchise decided to get in on the action: Reaction was, predictably, mixed. I have already decided not to support certain businesses because they seem to believe they can flout public health orders.
Outbursts from tamper-tantrum throwing "adults" pop up on a random basis. This is a recent one from Oliver, BC. The tattooed anti-vaxxer was caught on video and later fined with other charges possible related to racist epithets hurled at some students.
For any claiming terrible psychological trauma being visited on kids because of masks, we might consider this:
Or, in the case of Oliver students, attacks from deranged nutcases.
I'd suggest professional psychological intervention for Silke. Poor dear. Some are calling her Truck Convoy Karen. A real shame. She obviously had a future as a piece of tattoo artistry. She's an anti-vaxxer, probably subscribing to fake stories about the dangers of COVID vaccines. I wonder if she knows of the possible risks from tattoo ink?
Meanwhile, elsewhere in Canada, the blockade at the Coutts border crossing was taken down after 13 people were arrested. Some details about the arrested people were made available today. A fine, upstanding young bunch, from what we can tell.
Earlier details about those arrested and the charges they are facing is in this article.
The Federal government has brought in the Emergencies Act. It still astounds me what actions a government can take, even in a democracy, to maintain law and order. It reminds me of the various militia organizations in the USA, ostensibly in place to guard against government tyranny. My feeling is that if push came to shove, those militias would be nothing more than cinders once the Marines were finished with them.
In Ottawa, blockades are going up. Police blockades this time. The time for fraternizing with the terrorists seems to be over. Incompetence has to give way to action.
And, for the record, one article addressing any possible concerns some might still have about the vaccines.
More to come.

Questions for Anti-Vaxxers
I discovered this the other day and don't want to lose it because of all the useful links it contains, not to mention the questions (and answers) that it provides. So it's posted here, unedited.
All courtesy of Parker Isiah
Anti-vaxxers of Facebook, I want to ask you a few questions.
Before we begin, I want to tell you that I researched Agenda 21, the Great Reset, and the New World Order. I have concluded that all three are bullshit. Agenda 21 and the Great Reset were hopeful environmental and social justice plans that you chose to hijack and turn into conspiracy machines. The New World Order was bullshit to begin with.
All three sources above are themselves thoroughly sourced. You have no right to call them false information.
1. Where is the line between innocent sheep and government shill? At what point does the indoctrination start and/or complete? With millions of doctors and pharmacists around the world, from different countries, in both the private and government-funded agencies, all united under a single entity, how come not a single one of them is spilling the beans? Who is that single entity? Also, they would need evidence that there is wrongdoing. Why hasn’t anyone come out with, say, a leaked document on how to fudge numbers without being glaringly obvious? They’d have access to those major documents… And what about those Russian troll farms that are spreading vaccine misinformation themselves? Those guys are paid shills; why do you fall for THEM?
2. Wouldn’t those very close to that line start making videos about the indoctrination? They’d be famous, after all.
3. Why would the government pay shills for a medical product that is not on the top 20 grossing (earning) medical products?*
4. With such titanic power ascribed to the government(s), with trillions of dollars spent to pay “shills” like us, why is it that they can’t pay a hitman a couple thousand to kill anyone spreading the truth? To add on to that, why are “Big Tech” companies working largely in a reactive fashion to misinformation, rather than proactively where government officials terminate, within a minute, every last social media profile someone owns? And to add on to that, why are “truth”-pushing sites like Natural News, Educate Yourself, and Children’s Health Defense still up? The government(s) could terminate those sites permanently with a single click or a raid on a server farm. On the other end of the spectrum, why is critical evidence you claim to carry so conveniently and completely missing where you can’t even partially replace it?
5. If the government was trying to hide critical vaccine side effects and imply that they are almost completely safe, why do vaccine inserts and VAERS exist? Since they were set up and are maintained by government agencies, why do you trust them so much? And why is it that being hit by a truck can be considered a vaccine side effect?
6. If government officials say something, they must be lying since you say the government is always lying. If that’s the case, then why is it that seat belt and traffic safety laws help save lives, even though they wouldn’t since the government requires people to obey those laws?
7. Speaking of seat belts and traffic safety laws, they aren’t 100% effective. Still, why do you obey them despite the minuscule chance of them failing spectacularly?
8. Explain, concisely and thoroughly, citing only papers that have not been retracted and are available on reputable sites, how exactly a vaccine can induce the mental state known as autism. And explain how autism, which has never even once been the cause of death or injury, is more dangerous than a typical virus that has at least a tiny margin of killing you.
9. If vaccines supposedly will cause deaths 3 or more months after being administered, why aren’t vaccinated people dropping like flies?
10. To add to the above, why are hospitals getting filled to the brim with unvaccinated individuals? Why aren’t the hospitals filling with vaccinated individuals?
11. Which is more likely: that A) there is a global conspiracy by governments so invested in pharmacies that they push poison on their citizens, or 
that there is actually a global epidemic that, if left unchecked or used as part of a conspiracy, would result in lots of deaths that would be costly in terms of payouts not used by a citizen and taxes not earned from them because the citizen is dead?
that there is actually a global epidemic that, if left unchecked or used as part of a conspiracy, would result in lots of deaths that would be costly in terms of payouts not used by a citizen and taxes not earned from them because the citizen is dead?12. You have extremely low trust in doctors, claiming they contribute to the poisoning of the public, even in hospitals. Why, then, do you go back on your claims and head to the hospital when you get sick from COVID or OD’ed horse dewormer? (To add insult to injury, ivermectin, in the form and at the dosage advertised by con-men for treating COVID, is livestock dewormer. Do you know what is livestock? SHEEP!!!) Also, who makes Ivermectin?
13. “[E]xactly what rights are being infringed on by wearing a mask or having every person (who is able to get the vaccine) vaccinated? What rights specifically?” - Calena Brown
14. If this is about “My body, my choice”, why are you denying that same choice to other people by harassing/attacking health officials, destroying mobile vaccination clinics, booking many times for a vaccine and never showing up, and even putting razors behind your posters?!
15. You’re probably worried about having a microchip implanted within your body to track your every move. Why are you worried about this when you have an iPhone/Samsung phone/Windows phone that does the exact same thing?
16. You tell us about the horrors of what’s in vaccines, or refuse to take one because you don’t know what’s in them. If that’s the case, what’s in ivermectin? Natural herbal remedies? Miracle Mineral Solution? An apple?
17. Why is it that boosters, which are essential to half of all medication, are unacceptable for vaccines but not other medicines?
18. Many governments hate each others’ guts, so why is it that almost every, if not every, government on the planet is colluding in this? Getting two governments to work together is hard enough.
19. Why is it that “natural remedies” sold on “truth” sites like Natural New(dot)com cost more than vaccinations? Could it be because they want to scam you out of your money so they can make a quick buck?
20. If we can’t kill people using a “death shot”, why is it perfectly acceptable for people from your side to harass and even KILL others over distributing the “death shot”? If we’re trying to depopulate the planet, aren’t you helping us along by causing those deaths? And why are YOUR news sources so silent about these murders?! WHY WAS IT OKAY FOR A QANON-INVESTED CALIFORNIA MAN TO KILL HIS CHILDREN?! HOW FUCKED UP IS YOUR MIND?!
Hint: You are being lied to by the “truth” pushers of the anti-vax movement. They are hoping you are gullible enough to start spending money on their sham products (which they likely are selling for more than their retail price).
The answers:
1. The fine line does not exist on the pro-vax side. The indoctrination does not exist on the pro-vax side. There are no beans to spill. No singular entity exists, but numerous anti-vax entities unify the science-opposing community.
2. You can’t make a video about something that doesn’t happen. It would just fall flat since it is so ordinary.
3. They don’t pay “pro-vax shills” in the first place.
4. They aren’t since it would spark outrage. However, there may exist individuals who will be willing to kill anti-vax prophets/shut down websites simply to make a point. Your evidence is conveniently “missing” because it doesn’t exist.
5. Because the government isn’t trying to hide side effects. You need something official-looking to turn to, so you parade inserts and VAERS around like they are the Bible, which contradicts the fact that both inserts and VAERS were made and are maintained by the same “evul” government that produces vaccines. This is cognitive dissonance.
6. Because government officials aren’t lying here. If they say something like “A hurricane is coming”, then you better hightail your ass right out of that area before you’re battered with a storm surge.
7. Another example of cognitive dissonance. These are basic, common practices supported by, again, the same “evul” government that funds Big Pharma.
8. You can’t explain it, because vaccines do not cause autism.
9. The half-lives of many vaccine ingredients are measured in hours, which puts into perspective how quickly vaccines break down once administered. Many FOODS take longer to break down than the mRNA vaccines, which are broken down within two days, and the acute immune response ends within a few weeks.
10. COVID’s death rate may be around 1% when unvaccinated, but considering how many people have been infected without vaccines so far, that figure would be more than the population of Utah. We might even be undercounting the deaths.
11. B. A single government could bring itself to its knees if it follows through A, and in the case of A, the truth would spread too fast to silence.
12. This is more cognitive dissonance, where your beliefs are highly contradictory. Ivermectin is even made by Big Pharma.
13. No rights are being violated.
14. You’re not focused on rights. You’re focused on the eradication of the pharmaceutical industry.
15. This just goes to show how much cognitive dissonance is among you.
16. Even more cognitive dissonance! Wow.
17. This further cognitive dissonance is starting to get old.
18. You really have such a high level of the theory of cooperation, especially on fictional global conspiracies.
19. Yes. Lying can have incentives, especially monetary. They know their statements are false, but they want to keep you knowing you’re too gullible to check them.
20. Even more cognitive dissonance among you, and with the fact that your anti-vax leaders are silent on these murders, this goes to prove that you are completely incapable of critical thinking.
Some anti-vax leaders are willing to let people harass, stalk, or even ATTACK citizens and scientists to forward their agenda. These insane, psychopathic nutcases are the same people you are putting your trust into, and you are following them down a dark path. Some of these leaders even claim they have managed to overtake a government and are now the leader of a region.
“...[W]hen YOU "let your immune system work", are you taking any supplements to help it along? Vitamins, things that "build" your immunity, zinc, etc? Well, the people who sell you those things make a point of bad-mouthing doctors, researchers, and vaccines in order to sell you their products. They make millions on the sometimes false information they give you - just like the Big Pharma that they bad-mouth. And their products are unregulated, come from foreign countries, are not tested like the drugs and treatments our FDA studies and are sometimes found to be dangerous later, when people get sick on them.” - Jean Loveday Ruecker
