      This is true, we know now that the virus is far less dangerous than initially feared and that it only really affects the elderly. The thing that hasn’t evolved in any way is the government response, which is criminally incompetent.

    2. @Mark Lapasa _”Yassin Dabeh”_
      You mean the fourth person in Canada under the age of 20 to fall victim to the virus since the pandemic started? That’s right, I didn’t misplace a decimal point, I said “4th.”

  1. 11 months of lockdows and masks…and it’s gotten worse……so…….more lockdowns and masks……duh!

    1. Are you ready to fight for your freedoms back and protect your self on your or. With diet and exercise and vitamin d and c daily . Government overreaching there power .

  2. Am I mistaken or is mask wearing not legally required in Toronto? I have to wear one or I get fined and fired.Yet every politician, journalist or doctor I see on tv is refusing to wear one. It’s almost like there’s a giant double standard whereby yuppie professionals can demand that the working class be sacrificed in the name of a quixotic campaign to defeat death itself while not conceding an inch of their own privilege. 🤔

    1. @Zizzer perfect answer for someone that trusts the medical professionals that are basically big pharma drug pushers.

    2. @bigalbass I’m not talking about “medical professionals.” I’m talking about the epidemiologists that have done the research.

  3. >>> HOW TO STOP THE SPREAD OF COVID-19 <<< . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SELECT [ || ] [ PAUSE ] ................................

  4. And lo and behold! Less than a week after Biden’s inauguration, the governors of California, Michigan and New York have announced they’d all be easing lockdown restrictions, which will allow millions to get back to work!

    Coincidence? Of course it is!

    After all, these restrictions have always been about protecting the public! They had nothing whatsoever to do with politics!

    1. Well, maybe not “millions” getting back to work. Not the thousands on the Keystone Pipeline project… which also affects thousands up in Canada (not too mention the billions already invested in it!). Stupid economics… oh, that’s right, he is (they are) saving the planet! I forgot.

  5. He does not look like a Armed forces doctor… he can’t be treating the 1st covid case in Canada. That was brought back from Wuhan province after our military athletes were there attending the military games. Then again they were never treated so , maybe you can use that as your argument.

    1. What’s a military doctor supposed to look like? Wear fatigues all the time? There’s no reason to think he isn’t trustworthy.

    2. @Aurelian My post was not about the doctor, he’s just doing what he’s told. It’s about the article trying to make it sound as if the 1st case of covid in Canada was some regular everyday Joe Smoe who didn’t just come from Wuhan province , the government knew about covid at least 2 months before it came out.

  6. This has nothing to do with science and everything to do with compliance. I will not wear your fears on my face nor will I inject your experiment into my body.

  7. Sweden never closed its economy. Sweden is just fine. Switzerland never closed its economy. Switzerland is just fine.
    Go figure.
