Raymond J. de Souza: Will we still be skipping the democracy post-pandemic? - "We have lived a year in which parliamentary democracy and judicial review have been almost entirely usurped by decrees. Much of that has been by the cabinet, using its regulatory powers under various public health and quarantine laws. Other decrees have been made by public health officials themselves, who are not elected. These measures have largely not been debated in the legislatures, even ex post, let alone ex ante. Very few measures have been passed by statute, let alone been subject to the usual committee hearings and review. It took almost a year before any of the measures were tested in court for their constitutionality. Fair enough, emergencies are emergencies and all governments are permitted to move quickly when needed. Democracy can be slow; indeed, it is meant to be slow enough to permit dissenting views to be heard, for debates to be had, for a consensus to develop. After a year though, when does an emergency mentality shift simply into a change of mentality altogether? When does a crisis response become a permanent shift in democratic culture?... in Ontario, a member of the government caucus, Roman Baber, wrote an open letter expressing his disagreement with government policy. His view was certainly in the minority, but was hardly out of the mainstream of global pandemic debate. He was tossed out of caucus by Premier Doug Ford. I doubt Ontario’s premier-cum-pharaoh will pay any political price for that; if anything it was the popular move. But will our political system pay a price, when the governing party does not have room for a modest range of views?"
And this was before the Emergencies Act
Raymond J. de Souza: Government overreach on COVID measures has been about power — not the pandemic - "For nearly six months, Dr. Bonnie Henry simply abolished religious liberty in British Columbia. Her edict permitted people to meet for an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in the church basement, but that same number of people could not meet in the much larger church to pray. It wasn’t about regulating meetings, but banning worship. When the matter was brought before the courts, the judge shrugged his shoulders. Yes, the order violated all of the fundamental freedoms listed in the Charter of Rights, but in an emergency the public health officials could do whatever they wanted, independent of changing circumstances or variance between regions. What if the point of Henry’s order was not public health, but to expand the power of her office, exploiting the pandemic to give her office the ability to grant itself an auto-exemption to the Constitution? Even if that wasn’t the point, it was the result. A few weeks ago in Ontario, the government announced that thousands of cheering fans could sit cheek-by-largely-unmasked-jowl at a Maple Leafs game, but a 10-person diner in Kapuskasing could serve only half that number. What was the point of that, which had no basis in public health? Could it be that the government, by strangling the diners and cafés of Ontario for a few extra weeks, wished to remind the tens of thousands of restaurateurs in the province that their livelihood was in the power of the state to grant or withhold? This month in Edmonton, Justice A. W. Germain sentenced the pastor of a small church and his brother for violating public health orders with manifest contumacy, handing down tens of thousands of dollars in fines based what courts had done in Ontario. Germain then went further, issuing what even the bailiff could recognize as an egregiously unconstitutional order. If Pastor Artur Pawlowski wishes to preach upon pandemic measures in the future, he will have to say the following: “I am also aware that the views I am expressing to you on this occasion may not be views held by the majority of medical experts in Alberta. While I may disagree with them, I am obliged to inform you that the majority of medical experts favour social distancing, mask wearing, and avoiding large crowds to reduce the spread of COVID-19. …” Of course the judge knows that forcing people to say what they do not wish to say — and do not believe — violates all the fundamental freedoms of the Charter. It is what tyrants do. Courts for that reason do not compel rapists to apologize to their victims. What if the point of the sentence was not justice, but to aggregate to judges the power to force preachers and activists to say what the state wishes them to say? Any number of emergencies could be imagined in which that bit of statist coercion might prove convenient. Germain, in a rather windy judgment, did not say whether he took note that, on the very eve of his hearing the Pawlowski case in September, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a packed, sweaty campaign rally in Brampton, Ont. Perhaps he did not find it germane. But the message from the court was clear. If your speech is favoured by the government, then there are no binding rules, let alone charges. If it is not, there are serious fines, and confiscation of fundamental liberties. Finally, the Speaker of the House of Commons, in his capacity as chairman of the internal administration committee known as the Board of Internal Economy, delivered this week a nighttime ukase barring unvaccinated MPs from taking their seats in the chamber. That he was acting beyond his power is not seriously in dispute. But Anthony Rota knew that pandemic politics trump the law and centuries of parliamentary privilege. The diktat was intended to make the Conservative party uneasy, and within days Erin O’Toole fell in line, playing his customary role of adopting Liberal policies after a modest deliberation over what degree of enthusiasm to show for them. So the Speaker expands his power, awarding himself the power to bar MPs from the chamber without the House being able to express itself. Even a modest humility might have prompted Rota, elected speaker in a parliament now dissolved, to await election of a new speaker before abusing the power of the office. It bears constant repeating that Canada is a high vaccination country, one of the highest in the world. In Alberta, vaccine averse relative to the rest of Canada, more than 78 per cent of all those over age 12 are fully vaccinated, with over 86 per cent partially vaccinated. Given the demographic distribution of the province, that means more than 90 per cent in Calgary. Those are world-best rates. Canada’s vaccination record means that government pandemic overreach is more about government than the pandemic."

Understanding COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Pakistan - "According to the World Health Organization (WHO), vaccine hesitancy is one of the 10 most severe threats to global health. The WHO also reported that there are three main reasons behind refusal or unwillingness to be vaccinated: inconvenience in accessing vaccines, complacency and lack of trust. Pakistanis have traditionally shown high levels of vaccine hesitancy, making it difficult to eliminate the spread of highly infectious diseases... "The community can be convinced to get vaccinated if more published data on vaccine efficacy and safety is available.”

Will BA.2 Omicron ‘Stealth Variant’ Cause Another Covid-19 Coronavirus Surge? - "The BA.2 subvariant may soon overtake the BA.1 for one big reason: it appears to be even more transmissible than the BA.1, which was already more transmissible than the Delta variant, which was already more transmissible than the Alpha variant... At the same time, much of the U.S. seems to be acting as if the pandemic were over and have been ditching Covid-19 precautions as if they were sweater vests... Remember what happened in the Summer of 2021 after face mask requirements were relaxed as I covered for Forbes back then? And what again in the late Fall after many types of mass gatherings and travel resumed, as I covered for Forbes as well? Both times there were subsequent Covid-19 surges, which suggests that both relaxations were premature. So the lifting of Covid-19 precautions such as face mask requirements over the past month could end up being yet another round of premature relaxation, which could leave things rather messy. It could leave the population like someone who’s wearing nothing but a thong in the supermarket, a little too exposed... The BA.2 subvariant doesn’t appear to be causing more severe Covid-19 than the BA.1 subvariant"
Covid cases will inevitably increase when restrictions are relaxed. Since if there's an increase in cases, it means it's "too soon" to relax measures, and since covid will be endemic, clearly measures can never be relaxed and life can never go back to normal (especially since there will always be new variants)
Why are we vaccinating children against COVID-19? - "The bulk of the official COVID-19-attributed deaths per capita occur in the elderly with high comorbidities, and the COVID-19 attributed deaths per capita are negligible in children. The bulk of the normalized post-inoculation deaths also occur in the elderly with high comorbidities, while the normalized post-inoculation deaths are small, but not negligible, in children. Clinical trials for these inoculations were very short-term (a few months), had samples not representative of the total population, and for adolescents/children, had poor predictive power because of their small size. Further, the clinical trials did not address changes in biomarkers that could serve as early warning indicators of elevated predisposition to serious diseases. Most importantly, the clinical trials did not address long-term effects that, if serious, would be borne by children/adolescents for potentially decades."
Clearly experts in Sweden and elsewhere are just "covid deniers" since they do not recommend vaccinating children
Healthy Children Don’t Need Covid Vaccines - WSJ - "The Sunshine State is bucking the public-health consensus again. “The Florida Department of Health is going to be the first state to officially recommend against the Covid-19 vaccines for healthy children,” Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo announced... He is merely acknowledging the abundant scientific evidence that Covid-19 poses a negligible risk to healthy children, which makes it impossible to know if the benefit of vaccination outweighs the risk. Start with the exceedingly low likelihood of severe illness or death. A recent study in the Lancet estimated the infection fatality rate for those under 18 at between 0.0023% and 0.0085%—meaning 2.3 to 8.5 of every 100,000 children who get infected will die. Rates are lowest among those 5 to 11... Polio paralyzes 1 in 200 infected children, and the fatality rate for measles ranges between 0.1% to and 0.3%. That’s why childhood vaccinations are recommended for both. The risk of hospitalization from the flu for children 5 to 11 is 50% higher than from Covid and the related multisystem inflammatory syndrome combined. MIS in rare instances can cause gastrointestinal and cardiovascular symptoms after infection... The Food and Drug Administration granted emergency-use authorization last October for Pfizer’s vaccine for children 5 to 11 after a small trial (about 1,500 kids received Covid shots) found it was 90% effective at preventing symptomatic illness. But the vaccine’s efficacy rapidly waned, even more so than in adults, especially as the Omicron variant spread... Vaccine efficacy against infection, meanwhile, turned negative during the Omicron surge a month after kids were inoculated (minus 10%) and declined even more after six weeks (minus 41%). This means vaccinated children were significantly more likely to catch Covid than the unvaccinated. How can that be? One possible explanation is that the unvaccinated may have been more likely to have been previously infected, and natural immunity is more protective than vaccines. But this makes vaccinating children even more senseless. The vast majority have already been infected. The CDC estimates that 58% of children under 18 had infection-induced antibodies as of January, based on commercial laboratory blood samples. This is almost certainly an underestimate. Antibodies have probably faded in those who were infected earlier in the pandemic, and a study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found 63% of children under 18 who tested positive for the virus on PCR tests didn’t generate antibodies in their blood. Unlike the current crop of vaccines, prior infection stimulates mucosal immunity—including antibodies in the saliva and nasal passages—that can provide a strong barrier to infection. As for risks, there’s no evidence that Pfizer’s vaccine causes long-term harm to children. But its trial enrolled too few children to discern very rare adverse events, which could exceed the risks from the virus. Some 40% of children 5 to 11 reported systemic reactions after their second shot (e.g., fatigue, headache, fever). About 10% missed school, and 1% needed medical care. Such literal headaches may be worth enduring for adults, but it’s far from clear they are for children. One nontrivial risk that should concern public-health officials is that side effects from Covid shots could make children and parents wary of other vaccines... Germany, Norway and Sweden don’t recommend vaccines for healthy children under 12, and the Danish Pediatric Society has urged its government to follow suit. The public-health consensus has been wrong time and again during the pandemic"
An ethical analysis of vaccinating children against COVID-19: benefits, risks, and issues of global health equity - "COVID-19 vaccination of children has begun in various high-income countries with regulatory approval and general public support, but largely without careful ethical consideration. This trend is expected to extend to other COVID-19 vaccines and lower ages as clinical trials progress. This paper provides an ethical analysis of COVID-19 vaccination of healthy children. Specifically, we argue that it is currently unclear whether routine COVID-19 vaccination of healthy children is ethically justified in most contexts, given the minimal direct benefit that COVID-19 vaccination provides to children, the potential for rare risks to outweigh these benefits and undermine vaccine confidence, and substantial evidence that COVID-19 vaccination confers adequate protection to risk groups, such as older adults, without the need to vaccinate healthy children. We conclude that child COVID-19 vaccination in wealthy communities before adults in poor communities worldwide is ethically unacceptable and consider how policy deliberations might evolve in light of future developments."

Alanna Golden and Shawn Whatley: Don't make the unvaxxed scapegoats for hospital overcrowding - "Ontarians have been very patient. Last spring, we waited in line to receive the coveted COVID-19 vaccination. There was promise in the air that vaccines would be the ticket to normalcy. A few weeks would flatten the curve and prevent a health-care crisis. Fast forward almost a year, with one of the most highly vaccinated populations globally, and we still have hospital overcrowding. With little else to blame for the status quo, the unvaccinated have become our scapegoat. The truth is that hospital capacity issues and staffing shortages are no stranger. In December 2019, the Ontario Hospital Association reported that Ontario hospital bed capacity had not changed over the past two decades despite a 27 per cent population increase. Ontario tied with Mexico for the lowest number of acute care beds per capita in the world. Prior to the pandemic, Ontario had 22,400 acute care beds, with 2,012 serving critical care patients. Premier Doug Ford added 3,100 acute care beds this pandemic, including 1,500 critical care beds. This brought Ontario to 1.7 beds per 1,000 population, well below the 2.9 beds per 1,000 among peer countries... Health-care system strain has resulted in what we term “hallway medicine.”... Hospital capacity issues date back at least 20 years and seasonal illnesses are a familiar strain each fall and winter... As a proportion of the population, a far greater percentage of unvaccinated people require acute care services, but too few to blame for our longstanding problem. COVID-19 has caused unprecedented staffing shortages. Vaccine mandates for health-care workers (HCWs) coupled with strict at-home isolation policies have not helped"

Teenager ousts incumbent for school board seat after Covid-19 policies ruined his senior year - "Nicholas Seppy, a New Jersey teenager, won a seat on his local school board after the board’s Covid-19 policies disrupted his senior year of high school. Seppy, who said in an interview that the Covid shutdowns were “awful,” stated that he wanted to run for school board “out of a desire to serve in [his] community” and to “give parents a voice in the district.”... Seppy is part of a wider trend in the 2021 elections that saw candidates who advocated for parental and student rights elected, many times upsetting incumbents who embraced Critical Race Theory or advocated that parents should not have a say in deciding what their children should be taught. Candidates who oppose government restrictions and mandates related to Covid-19 also did very well. Republican Governor-elect of Virginia Glenn Youngkin’s campaign embracing parental rights and opposing Covid restrictions stood in stark contrast to Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who embraced CRT and fewer parental rights in education. In New Jersey, blue-collar truck driver Ed Durr defeated the Democratic president of the state Senate with a $153 campaign focused on conservative principles and freedom."

Austin mayor Adler in Cabo despite encouraging no travel amid COVID-19 - "In early November, as health officials warned of an impending COVID-19 spike, Austin Mayor Steve Adler hosted an outdoor wedding and reception with 20 guests for his daughter at a trendy hotel near downtown. The next morning, Adler and seven other wedding attendees boarded a private jet bound for Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where they vacationed for a week at a family timeshare. One night into the trip, Adler addressed Austin residents in a Facebook video: “We need to stay home if you can. This is not the time to relax. We are going to be looking really closely. ... We may have to close things down if we are not careful.”...

I Trust the Science, but Not the Political Agenda Being Injected Into the Pharmaceutical Industry - "as Caroline Chen and others pointed out, “pharma companies underwrite three-fourths of the FDA’s budget for scientific reviews, [and] the agency is increasingly fast-tracking expensive drugs with significant side effects and unproven health benefits.” In addition to that, as Vinay Prasad, a haematologist-oncologist at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, mentions, there is a dangerous combination of weak federal restrictions with the possibility of future employment, which often produces a bias in how FDA staffers conduct drug reviews... Conflict of interest can also be seen in the rollout of the Covid vaccines, for example, but, even earlier than that, the Guardian had already flagged some issues surrounding the donation of millions of dollars from the pharmaceutical industry to both major Australian political parties... In her interview with the Guardian, Barbara Mintzes, an expert in pharmaceutical policy from the University of Sydney, has also shared some similar concerns about, what can be called, ‘a weakening evidence standards for new medicines’... The above reality is a warning that even John LaMattina, who was the president of Pfizer Global Research and Development sector in 2007, shared in February 2017."
MALCOLM: A sensational approach to COVID numbers only increases public skepticism | Toronto Sun - "Alberta’s top doctor, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, provided her routine update on the COVID situation and noted a terribly sad case of a 14-year-old boy who died with COVID. She stressed that the boy’s complex pre-existing medical conditions “played a significant role” in his death. Much of the media were quick to sensationalize the story, with several outlets running headlines stating that Alberta had its youngest ever COVID victim while burying the important context that COVID was not the primary cause of death. The CBC went even further, and included harsh criticism against Hinshaw for noting the context about comorbidities. The story quoted Dr. Joe Vipond, a fierce critic of the Alberta government, who is also an NDP donor, who was apparently angry that Dr. Hinshaw would include the nuanced information about the boy’s death... The issue of reporting comorbidities is a thorny one indeed. My colleague, Sun oped editor Anthony Furey, last year accurately reported that the majority of COVID deaths in Alberta occurred among patients with multiple pre-existing medical conditions like chronic heart failure and dementia. His factual reporting was supported by both Alberta and Stats Canada data, but regardless, many cried foul. CBC even ran a headline accusing an MP of “spreading misinformation about COVID deaths in Alberta” simply because she shared Furey’s work. (CBC Ombudsman Jack Nagler later apologized, saying the CBC piece was “flawed” and that Furey’s data and reporting was accurate. “CBC failed to meet standards,” he wrote). Of course, context matters and we should always welcome more information. While the likes of Vipond were angry at Dr. Hinshaw for providing too much information to the public, the 14-year-old boy’s family sent out their own messages to the public. “The 14-year-old (in) the article is my brother. He died from stage 4 brain cancer, not COVID. This is fake news. He was diagnosed in January 2021, and hospitalized in August. Two days before his death he was tested for COVID and it turned out positive,” wrote Simone Spitzer on her personal Facebook page... Dr. Hinshaw made a mistake, and two days later, she acknowledged it and apologized. Meanwhile, the likes of Vipond and the CBC continue to sensationalize and fear-monger about COVID at all costs. This also sows mistrust, and they should also consider offering an apology to the Spitzer family, and indeed all Canadians."
