Canada’s current Chief Public Health Officer appeared in a recently resurfaced 2010 documentary in which she advocated using mandatory “tracking bracelets” for people who refuse to take a vaccine after a virus outbreak.
Theresa Tam has become one of the faces of Canada’s response to coronavirus, appearing in public service announcements encouraging social distancing.
On 23 April, she was was appointed by Justin Trudeau to be a member of the COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, despite having previously asserted that there was “no reason to be overly concerned” about coronavirus back in January.
As late as January 29, she told Canadians, “It’s going to be rare, but we are expecting cases.”
Now a 10-year-old clip of Theresa Tam is recirculating during which she comments on how the government could respond to people who refuse to take a mandatory vaccine after a virus outbreak.
The clip is taken from a 2010 National Film Board of Canada documentary entitled ‘Outbreak: Anatomy of a Plague’.
Clip of Theresa Tam from a 2010 documentary: “You could track people, put bracelets on their arms.” “Police checkpoints are set up..

Those who refuse to cooperate ARE TAKEN AWAY TO TEMPORARY DETENTION CENTRES.” pic.twitter.com/tSVOoJSkQe — ☨ Resurrection Europa 🍁 (@WolfishHead) April 27, 2020
“I think the public has to know, this is one of the worst case scenarios in case of an infectious disease outbreak,” says Tam.
“If there are people who are non-compliant, there are definitely laws and public health powers that can quarantine people in mandatory settings,” she adds.
“It’s potential you could track people, put bracelets on their arms, have police and other set ups to ensure quarantine is undertaken,” says Tam, adding that it was worth “taking the heat” of “people thinking you might be overreactionary.”
The narrator of the documentary then added some context as to what might happen next.
“Police checkpoints are set up on all the bridges. Everyone leaving the city is required to show proof of vaccination. Those who refuse to cooperate are taken away to temporary detention centers.”

The article claimed that a $ 1 billion refinancing deal from several banks – including the Bank of China , was struck in 2012 , in which the Trump Organization ‘ has a substantial minority interest , ’ and that President Trump therefore owes the Chinese state-owned bank ‘ tens of millions of dollars ’ on a loan which comes due in 2022 .
Politico @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Bank of China before going to print , and had relied on public documents .
Following the report , the Bank of China told the outlet that they had ‘ sold off , or securitized , its debt shortly after the 2012 deal , ’ and that the bank has no current financial interest in any properties related to the Trump Organization .
Keep in mind that three journalists wrote the original article ; Marc Caputo , Meridith McGraw , and Anita Kumar – none of whom thought to practice safe journalism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report until contacting the Bank of China .
Of course , this massive lie percolated throughout liberal media over the weekend – and was repeated by Joe Biden in an interview with CBS Miami .
Politico ’ s ‘ gotcha ’ was reduced to an ‘ unresolved discrepancy ’ in the form of a 2017 document filed by Wells Fargo with the NY Department of Finance listing the Bank of China as having a financial interest in the building , indicating that the state-owned bank had secured an interest in the building ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and air conditioning systems – in case of a default .

COVID-19 has been the worst health-care disaster of my 30-year career , because of its intensity , duration and potential for lasting impact .
The lasting impact is what worries me the most .

From mid-March through mid-April , the ER staff at St. Barnabas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ morning .

Last night, after we reported on a pair of ER doctors arguing that the US states should lift their lockdowns immediately (during the course of their argument, which was mostly rooted in trends they’ve witnessed first hand, they apparently made the error of bringing up ‘personal liberty’ and ‘the Constitution’, words that prompt progressives to stop listening and start squawking about killing grandma to further enrich the billionaires) YouTube decided that their argument constituted ‘misinformation’ about the coronavirus outbreak and deleted the video after it racked up more than 5 million views.
We found that curious, since even doctors and epidemiologists have told mainstream news organizations that our understanding of the virus is still developing, and things we thought weren’t accurate just weeks ago and now being re-examined. One such aspect is the heavy handed lockdown response implemented across the US, and elsewhere. Urban leftists and out-of-touch Silicon Valley billionaires simply don’t understand that there are millions of Americans out there – many of whom happen to be white – who are absolutely terrified about losing their livelihoods, and don’t understand why all of this is necessary to combat a virus that leaves the vast majority of those infected unscathed.
The first rounds of ‘surveillance’ testing in the US, carried out in New York and in California’s Santa Clara County (the Cali effort was part of a private study, while New York State is testing random samples of the population to try and discern how widely spread the virus has already become) have suggested that the number of total cases is much, much higher than official numbers reflect. The most recent data released by Gov. Cuomo suggest that 1 in 4 people in NYC might already be infected, a figure that rises to 40% in some poorer areas like parts of the Bronx, where most workers are ‘essential’.
Many have blamed politicians for sending ‘mixed messages’ to the public, but the truth is, the message has changed along with our understanding and experience dealing with the virus.
And now, an ER doctor at a hospital in the Bronx is arguing that it’s time to reopen the economy, while pointing out that many thousands of unnecessary deaths could result if we don’t reopen quickly enough, as millions of Americans delay or skip critical preventative care, including people with heart disease and other health issues that make doing so particularly dangerous.
Daniel Murphy, an emergency room physician at St. Barnabas Hospital in The Bronx. Murphy contracted the virus during the early days of the outbreak, and accidentally spread it to members of his family. Luckily, they all quickly recovered and he returned to work in time for the big rush.
Murphy readily acknowledged that the outbreak has been by far the worst public health emergency of his 30-year career in medicine.
COVID-19 has been the worst health-care disaster of my 30-year career, because of its intensity, duration and potential for lasting impact. The lasting impact is what worries me the most. And it’s why I now believe we should end the lockdown and rapidly get back to wor. From mid-March through mid-April, the ER staff at St. Barnabas huddled in groups of about 20 every morning. We asked ourselves what had happened over the previous shift. We generated a list of actionable tasks for the following 24 hours. At first, we addressed personal protective equipment and the management of patients with mild illness who were seeking COVID-19 tests.
Two weeks ago, Murphy said, their ER was slammed with calls, and patients were dying from severe COVID-19 left and right. But as the curve has ‘flattened’ – a trend closely documented by data collected by New York State – Murphy and his team have noticed a massive drop in emergency patients with COVID-19.
Then came the wave of critically ill patients in numbers none of us had ever seen. This lasted for two weeks. The number of patients on ventilators accumulated in the ER and throughout the hospital. We witnessed an unprecedented number of deaths. The tone of the huddles became more somber. We became accustomed to the morbidity; we did our jobs. It is precisely what I have witnessed that now tells me that it’s time to ease the lockdown. Here’s why.
Then, all of sudden, on April 7 at 1 pm, Murphy noticed that the non-stop parade of ambulances carrying critically ill COVID-19 patients seemed to have stopped suddenly. From that point on, the number of ER admissions started to decline precipitously.
First, the wave has crested. At 1 p.m. on April 7, the COVID-19 arrivals slowed down. It was a discrete, noticeable event. Stretchers became available by 5 p.m., and the number of arriving COVID-19 patients dropped below the number discharged, transferred or deceased.
That drop was “striking”, as the doctor explained, because the community he serves is overwhelmingly poor, and sported high rates of infection. The surveillance data released by NY State so far suggests that the area surrounding the hospital may have seen infection rates climb as high as 40%.
The mechanics of this ebb and flow have led Dr. Murphy to suspect that the lockdowns have actually done little to blunt the ‘peak’, a conclusion that’s supported by Sweden’s policies and outcomes.
This was striking, because the community I serve is poor. Some are homeless. Most work in “essential,” low-paying jobs, where distancing isn’t easy. Nevertheless, the wave passed over us, peaked and subsided. The way this transpired tells me the ebb and flow had more to do with the natural course of the outbreak than it did with the lockdown.
Whatever Murphy’s first-hand experience might suggest about the usefulness of lockdowns, what’s wrong with waiting a few more weeks, just in case he’s wrong? Well, Murphy explains, even if we set aside the economic damage and its long-term ramifications for personal health, there’s an even more urgent issue at hand: Because of the lockdowns, too many Americans are delaying critical non-COVID-19 care.
The problem is that in addition to the drop in coronavirus patients, the hospital has also reported a massive drop in patients of all types and categorizations as more people are apparently staying home despite injuries or symptoms that are probably critical for fear of catching the virus. There’s simply no other explanation for such a statistically significant drop.
Without a doubt, many of those who aren’t healthy but have opted to delay care that could prevent lethal strokes, heart attacks or other diseases.
Second, I worry about non-coronavirus care. While the inpatient units remain busy with sick COVID-19 patients, our ER has been quiet for more than a week. We usually average 240 patients a day. For the last week, we averaged fewer than 100. That means our patients in this diverse, low-income community are afraid to come to the ER for non-COVID care. Gotham-wide, the number of 911 ambulance runs declined to 3,320 on April 18, down from a peak of 6,527 on March 30, according to New York Fire Department data. The current nadir is significantly below the average. A large share of those staying home surely have emergency medical and surgical conditions not related to the novel coronavirus. The growing numbers dying at home during this crisis must include fatal myocardial infarctions, asthma exacerbations, bacterial infections and strokes.
Another huge problem that has been almost completely ignored is that child vaccination rates have plummeted during the pandemic.
Meanwhile, our pediatric volume in the ER has practically disappeared. Visits to primary-care pediatricians are also down, with vaccine schedules falling behind. Everyone seems to be avoiding the health system — an important and unfortunate consequence of the stay-at-home strategy. Third, inordinate fear misguides the public response. While COVID-19 is serious, fear of it is being over-amplified. The public needs to understand that the vast majority of infected people do quite well.
And finally, as we noted above, Dr. Murphy argued that the virus is already much more pervasive than official data reflect.
Finally, COVID-19 is more prevalent than we think. Many New Yorkers already have the COVID-19 infection, whether they are aware of it or not. As of today, over 43 percent of those tested are positive in The Bronx. We are developing a significant degree of natural herd immunity. Distancing works, but I am skeptical that it is playing as predominant a role as many think.
There’s no question that testing is “important work”, Dr. Murphy added. But there’s no reason it can’t happen “in parallel” to an economic reopening. And even as it stands, scientists continue to find flaws with tests that call their results into question. All of this will likely take months, if not years to sort out. And we simply can’t wait that long without making the ‘cure’ more damaging than the ‘disease’.
More testing will better establish the numbers among those with mild illnesses and no symptoms. My professional experience tells me the number of infected people will be high. Testing is important work, but it should happen in parallel to the immediate resuscitation of the economy and getting people back to work. At present, the testing is imperfect. We can’t wait months. We must protect the vulnerable and mitigate without destroying the economy.
So, will Google and YouTube censor Dr. Murphy, too?

Charging that Amazon has gained unprecedented monopoly power through the sheer wealth of data it has collected on its users, allowing it to clone sellers’ products and undercut them on price, the senator likened the company’s “capacity for data collection” to “a brick and mortar retailer attaching a camera to every customer’s forehead.” With the coronavirus pandemic forcing the lion’s share of commerce online, Amazon has assumed near-omnipotence.

newswars--2020-04-28--Study Finds Clear Majority of Americans Will Reach “Breaking Point” if Stay-at-Home Order Continues

Study Finds Clear Majority of Americans Will Reach “Breaking Point” if Stay-at-Home Order Continues Into June

A new study has found that 72 % of Americans will reach their “ breaking point ” if the coronavirus stay-at-home order continues into the middle of June .
In a poll conducted by Kelton Global , 1,895 U.S. citizens were asked how long they could tolerate being cooped up due to COVID-19 .
“ The survey was conducted between April 3rd and 6th , and at that time , 16 % said they had already hit their breaking point , with that number rising to 25 % within the next two weeks .
That would indicate that one in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ end by now , ” according to Study Finds .
20 % of women has already reached their breaking point when the study was conducted compared to 12 % of men .
More and more commentators and health experts are beginning to question whether the wider impact of economic devastation and people with serious health problems aside from coronavirus avoiding the hospital will in fact lead to more excess deaths than COVID-19 .
Given that the answers to the poll were provided nearly four weeks ago , the number of Americans who have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ probably now significantly higher .
“ Our findings highlight the increasingly serious implications of stay-at-home orders , and puts some urgency on the actions of politicians and organizations who try to manage the COVID-19 fallout , ” said Kelton Global ’ s Chief Insights Officer Dr. Martin Eichholz .

“The survey was conducted between April 3rd and 6th, and at that time, 16% said they had already hit their breaking point, with that number rising to 25% within the next two weeks. That would indicate that one in four Americans have likely reached wits’ end by now,” according to Study Finds.

It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to understand that many things are available to humans to boost their immune systems.
One of those is the cholesterol synthesizing power of the sun into Vitamin D.
Humans need fresh air and sunshine.
So when you lock humanity inside four walls for extended periods of time, of course their health will suffer.
Doctors are now coming out of the woodwork to support the findings of the Trump Administration regarding treating and eliminating the Coronavirus.

Amusingly, the COVID-19 saga has been host to some of the most flagrant political posturing in recent memory. Early in March (which feels like eons ago in today’s frenetic media cycle) New York City mayor de Blasio was telling people to go to the movies and have fun.

It’s not a stretch to say that a collective psychosis has engulfed a large segment of the country ever since Donald Trump was elected in 2016. We have a media constantly throwing fits about every word the president utters and that thinks it’s engaging in a moral crusade of sorts when confronting him at press briefings. The media would have us believe that the debate about the appropriateness of using the term “China virus” is the civil rights battle of our times.

But pessimism should not be overdone when trying to grasp America’s contemporary delusions. Political crises can force politicians to go off their prepackaged talking points and become unusually candid in their political outlook.

The “authorized” right can generally be counted on to disappoint its constituents who genuinely believe in small government principles. To their credit, there have been some bright spots on their side in the present pandemic. States like Texas have gone out of their way to declare gun stores essential businesses and to deregulate several parts of its economy at a time where bureaucracy is impeding various vital economic functions.
Elected officials like State Representative Matt Gurtler in Georgia have raised the stakes by floating a proposal that would allow law-abiding Georgians to concealed carry anywhere.

In some ways, polarization is our friend. The all-too-familiar ratchet effect has been largely put on hold thanks to the fact there’s no way to fast track certain power grabs such as gun control, thanks to the political division present in the current Congress. This is one case where partisanship can be used against itself in a way that keeps everyday people safe from DC’s antiliberty ruses. Gridlock is usually the next best option when no form of government reduction can be attained. Nevertheless, partisanship does have its limits in DC, as evidenced by the ease with which the monstrosity of a stimulus bill was able to reach Trump’s desk. Hence why decentralization is the x factor that Americans must tap into to break out of its managerial trance.
If Californians want to give up their rights during a quarantine, they can go ahead and knock themselves out. Other states will shine as beacons of reason as they turn to more practical alternatives that balance public health and basic freedoms. Thanks to decentralization (and the Tenth Amendment ), America has multiple laboratories of policy experimentation across the nation. Competing jurisdictions allow us to see what works and what doesn’t.
Not all states will have the same policies. Others will enjoy certain liberties, while others will have fewer freedoms. That’s how the cookie will have to crumble. We must understand that the biggest threat we face in America isn’t the disparity in gun laws or tax policy between states like Texas and California, but rather the massive managerial state that has consolidated in Washington, DC, which engages in large-scale behavioral modification and usurpation of local governance. Extricating ourselves from this parasitic entity will be the greatest challenge of the twenty-first century, but it’s a battle worth taking.
