Thank you very much. I do appreciate the opportunity to address you on this very important matter. What I'm going to say is lay language, and blunt. It is counter-narrative, and so you don't immediately think I'm a quack I'm going to to briefly outline my credentials so that you can understand where I'm coming from in terms of knowledge base in all of this.
I'm a medical specialist in pathology which includes virology. I trained at Cambridge University in the UK. I'm the ex-president of the pathology section of the Medical Association. I was previously an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine doing a lot of teaching. I was The Chairman of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada Examination Committee and Pathology in Ottawa but more to the point I'm currently the chairman of a bio technology company in North Carolina selling the COVID-19 test.
And [inaudible] you might say I know a little bit about all of this. The bottom line is simply this:
There is utterly unfounded public hysteria driven by the media and politicians. It's outrageous. This is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public. There is absolutely nothing that can be done to contain this virus. Other than protecting older, more vulnerable people. It should be thought of as nothing more than a bad flu season.
This is not Ebola. It's not SARS. It's politics playing medicine and that's avery dangerous game. There is no action of any kind needed other than what happened last year when we felt unwell. We stayed home, we took chicken noodle soup, we didn't visit granny, and we decided when we would return to work. We didn't need anyone to tell us.
Masks are utterly useless. There is no evidence base for their effectiveness whatsoever. Paper masks and fabric masks are simply virtue signaling. They're not even worn effectively most of the time. It's utterly ridiculous. Seeing these unfortunate, uneducated people- I'm not saying that in a pejorative sense-seeing these people walking around like lemmings, obeying without any knowledge base, to put the mask on their face.
Social distancing is also useless because Covid is spread by aerosols which travels 30 meters or so before landing. Enclosures have had such terrible unintended consequences. Everywhere should be opened tomorrow as well as was stated in the Great Barrington declaration that I circulated prior to this meeting.
And a word on testing: I do want to emphasize that I'm in the business of testing for Covid. I do want to emphasize that positive test results do not, underlined in neon, mean a clinical infection. It's simply driving public hysteria and all testing should stop. Unless you're presenting to hospital with some respiratory problem.
All that should be done is to protect the vulnerable and to give them all in the nursing homes that are under your control, give them all 3000 to 5000 international units of vitamin D every day which has been shown to radically reduce the likelihood of Infection.
And I would remind you all that using the province's own statistics, the risk of death under 65 in this province is one in 300,000. One in 300,000.
You've got to get a grip on this. The scale of the response that you are undertaking with no evidence for it is utterly ridiculous given the consequences of acting in a way that you're proposing. All kinds of suicides, business closures, funerals, weddings etc. it's simply outrageous!
It's just another bad flu and you've got to get your minds around that. Let people make their own decisions. You should be totally out of the business of medicine. You're being led down the garden path by the chief medical officer of health for this province. I am absolutely outraged that this is reached this level. It should all stop tomorrow. Thank you very much.
'Protection of white supremacy': AOC leads liberal outrage after Kenosha shooter Rittenhouse released on bailPreviously:
21 Nov, 2020 22:02
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) and other liberals have pointed to Kyle Rittenhouse's $2 million bail and release as an example of white supremacy in the justice system.
"Does anyone believe Rittenhouse would be released if he were Muslim & did the same thing in a diff context?" Ocasio-Cortez tweeted on Saturday.
Rittenhouse's expensive release is proof of "systematic racism," according to the congresswoman.
"For people who say 'systemic racism doesn't exist,' this is what it looks like: protection of white supremacy baked deep into our carceral systems," she wrote.
Ocasio-Cortez is far from the only outspoken liberal to use Rittenhouse's release to push arguments about racism in the US' justice system.
New York Times writer Wajahat Ali deemed Rittenhouse a "murderer made into a hero" following his release.
"White supremacy is the sickness of America," he added.
Rittenhouse is charged with first degree murder over the fatal shooting of two during anti-police brutality protests in Kenosha, Wisconsin over the summer. Rittenhouse will appear back in court in December and maintains that he acted in self defense.
"I feel I had to protect myself," he told The Washington Post about the shooting. "I would have died that night if I didn't."
Rittenhouse said he was carrying a gun for protection on the night of the shootings, but intended only to provide medical care for those who got injured during the demonstrations, as well as to protect businesses from looting and vandalism.
In regards to the shooting incident, Rittenhouse has claimed he was defending a business from rioting protesters when he was attacked.
The 17-year-old has not been without support. Supporters claim the teenager acted in self defense, and his bail was partly funded by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell and actor Ricky Schroder, both of whom received pushback on social media for their involvement with Rittenhouse.
Comment: Russia is not the only country collecting an invasive amount of information about its citizens. The supposedly "free" West has been at it for ages.
