Do We Want To Keep Following The Neoliberal Model?

They should have been here in October 1970 screaming for their rights and freedoms... military in the streets, being picked up by said military for having the wrong political affiliation, lock-downs and curfews... and all this respected the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Used to collect "suspicious persons" reports during the October Crisis. Driving gf from New West to a movie in downtown Vancouver & back on Kingsway got pulled over four times in one night. You know how 2 longhairs and their gf's in a 57 Chevy in 1970 were so out of place it was suspicious....
And that ended, just like the fucking minor inconvenience of masks and gatherings will soon.

And I bet, as usual with every naysayer you can't say specifically what 'freedom' if any we might lose in the long term.

Do you really think this is all for the "public good"? When COVID started and we saw lockdowns in China, we all told ourselves that is an indication how backward China is. Canada has policies to deal with pandemics, because we've had pandemics before. We don't do these things. Policies for pandemic response by provincial emergency measures department have not be followed/implemented. Instead they followed China's lead. Why the hell would government take policy from a totalitarian regime!?!

Early on medical researchers found hydroxychloroquine works. Chinese doctors studied hospital records and found those patients who were given this for other reasons recovered quickly. So they did a study with 72 patients, and it worked. Then South Korea used it in hospitals, and it worked. Then a doctor in France did a study with 1,000 patients, and it worked. Then Donald Trump mentioned, and those who don't like Donald Trump claimed it doesn't work. I don't like that man either, I'll never take anything on his recommendation, but I won't avoid it either. His opinion doesn't matter. Medical studies by real scientists and doctors do matter, and those studies show it does work. By the way, Joe Biden has issued an order that hydroxychloroquine can be used in hospitals again.

Hydroxychloroquine is derived from quinine, just with more mild side effects so doctors can give a larger dose. That means quinine should work too. That's the active ingredient in tonic water. Yup, the same tonic water sold in the soda pop isle of grocery stores. One catch with the aforementioned medical studies is hydroxychloroquine must be given with zinc for it to work. RNA viruses hijack a part of the cell called a ribosome that's supposed to make protein. The virus forces it to make copies of the virus. Zinc interferes with ribosomes making RNA; not with making protein, just RNA. So it interferes with the virus ability to replicate itself. Both hydroxychloroquine and quinine are "ionophore", which means they cause zinc to pass form the blood into human cells. We don't know if this is the only effect hydroxychloroquine has, or if there's more, but we do know quinine does this one thing as well. So this implies tonic water with zinc should protect you from COVID-19.

It won't stop you from getting infected, but if you do get infected, the virus has great difficulty spreading, so your immune system can mop-up easily. And you won't have much virus to spread to others because this will interfere with the virus ability to replicate.

This was known in March 2020. Government should have done a study on tonic water and zinc. But they didn't, they obsessed over vaccines. There has never been a vaccine for any form of RNA virus before. SARS is an RNA virus and respiratory virus, it hit Toronto in February 2002. There's still no vaccine for it. Vaccines for COVID-19 have come out amazingly fast. Researchers came out with the first vaccine within 3 days of the DNA sequence of the virus being published. Then it took most of a year (10 months?) of testing before the first ones were approved. Testing for the Polio vaccine took 4 years. Health professionals say the final phase of human trials before approving a vaccine takes at least 3 years of observation to see what armful effects happen. That's 3 years of observation after the test subjects are assembled, vaccine applied. Then results have to be collated, analyzed, and reported. Total: 4 years.

And messenger RNA has never been used as the basis for a vaccine before.

Congratulations: you are the test subject. How many people have died from these vaccines?

Large corporations have insisted government use vaccines to resolve the pandemic, not anything else. Reason is obvious: the corporations are getting paid $billions. They don't want a cheap and readily available alternative. Government is supposed to benefit the public, the voters, not corporations.

Conducting the study on tonic water and zinc is long overdue! And now Ivermectin has proven effective.

You've singlehandedly made a lot of people's heads explode here. 100% for everything you just said, and the way you conveyed it. Bottom line is that you are completely right.

The forever war against illogic and unreason continues, with no hope of victory ever to be seen.

Sigh.
