The CDC has tweeted a well-designed infographic purporting to show significant health benefits from wearing masks. &nbsp;The tweet tries to show that the higher quality the mask, the more the wearer is protected from COVID-19, while no mask use is marked with a foreboding red circle and slash, indicating NO protection.<div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">A new <a href="https://twitter.com/CDCMMWR?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CDCMMWR</a> study shows that people who reported always wearing masks or respirators in indoor public settings in California were less likely to test positive for <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/COVID19?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#COVID19</a> compared with those who reported not wearing a face covering.

Results were counted for less than 1/7 of participants&nbsp;When investigators tried to call participants to check on their mask status, only 13.4% of people who tested positive for COVID-19 answered the phone and just 8.9% of people who tested negative answered.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.vinayakkprasad.com/">Vinay Prasad, MD MPH</a>, hematologist-oncologist and Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of California San Francisco, <a href="https://vinayprasadmdmph.substack.com/p/mask-studies-reach-a-new-scientific">reacted to this methodology</a>, “We could stop right now. Very few people answered the phone. Moreover, there may be a big difference in who answered the phone. A person sick enough to be tested for COVID, who was +, might not be doing so well 2 days later. Which ones answered? How about those who tested negative? Are these comparable people? Sadly, researchers continued…”3. The study did not look at deaths, hospitalizations, illness or even symptomsThe sole criterion by which the efficacy of wearing masks was measured was whether a person tested positive or negative in a COVID-19 test. The study fails to disclose the type of COVID-19 test performed. Most US testing &nbsp;use unreliable PCR tests with cycle thresholds exceeding reliable limits as set by the CDC itself. &nbsp;This is noted in the <a href="https://americasfrontlinedoctors.org/2/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Doc-1-AFLD-motion.pdf">America’s Frontline Doctors’ Petition For A Temporary Restraining Order against the use of COVID-19 vaccines in children</a>, “A PCR test can only test for the presence of a fragment of the RNA of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and literally, by itself, cannot be used to diagnose the COVID-19 disease. The RNA fragment detected may not be intact and may be dead, in which case it cannot cause COVID- 19. This is analogous to finding a car part, but not a whole car that can drive. Manufacturer inserts furnished with the PCR test products include disclaimers stating that the PCR tests should NOT be used to diagnose COVID-19. This is consistent with the warning issued by the Nobel Prize winning inventor of the PCR test that such tests are not appropriate for diagnosing disease.&nbsp;“Further, the way in which the PCR tests are administered guarantees an unacceptably high number of false positive results. Cycle Threshold Value (“CT value”) is essentially the number of times that a sample (usually from a nasal swab) is magnified or amplified before a fragment of viral RNA is detected. The CT Value is exponential, and so a 40 -cycle threshold means that the sample is magnified around a trillion times. The higher the CT Value, the less likely the detected fragment of viral RNA is intact, alive and infectious. Virtually all scientists, including Dr. Fauci, agree that any PCR test run at a CT value of 35-cycles or greater is useless.”4.

Trust in public health officials further eroded by faulty mask study

CDC’s new 'proof' of mask benefits: 5 facts you need to know

Social media netizens are invoking George Orwell’s&nbsp;1984 after Canada’s ruling party Monday tried to erase its recent celebration of a Ukrainian Nazi war criminal from the country’s records.Canada’s Liberal government has come under heavy fire for honoring Yaroslav Hunka last week during a visit by Ukraine Prime Minister Volodymyr Zelenskyy. During World War II Hunka volunteered for the Waffen SS by joining the First Ukrainian Division, also known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division or the SS 14th Waffen Division.On Friday the now-98-year-old Hunka was introduced in Canadian Parliament by House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota as “Ukrainian hero, a Canadian hero” for fighting against Russia in World War II. The Nazi was treated to a standing ovation by Parliament members.The backlash has led to Rota’s resignation as speaker and several apologies from politicians, including from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who blamed the “deeply embarrassing” incident on “Russian disinformation.”On Tuesday the Liberal Party sought to erase the scandal from the country’s official history. Government House Leader Karina Gould, who was photographed holding hands with Hunka prior to Zelenskyy’s speech in Parliament, put forth a motion to strike the incident from the record.“I would like to ask unanimous consent to adopt the following motion,” Gould announced in Parliament. “That notwithstanding any standing order, special order, or usual practice of the House, the recognition made by the speaker of an individual present in the galleries during the joint address to Parliament by His Excellency Volodymyr Zelenskyy be struck from the appendix of the House of Commons debate of Thursday, September 21st, 2023 and from any House multimedia recording.”Conservative Party members voted the motion down.Gould took to social media to declare she “did not know [Hunka] would be there,” despite being photographed with him beforehand, and warned other MPs “to stop politicizing” the scandal.But Gould’s motion was slammed across social media, with some users drawing comparisons to the ruling party in&nbsp;1984, which struck all inconvenient truths from history.One user cited the following quote from the classic novel:<blockquote>Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.</blockquote><div class="raw-html-embed"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">Leftists In Canadian Parliament Seek to Erase Embarrassing Nazi Incident From The Record TUESDAY, SEP 26, 2023 - 09:45 AM In George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984, he describes a bleak and insidious future in which tyranny is absolute in every sense.

‘Like 1984’: Canada government tries to erase Nazi celebration from history

The United Nations intends to use biometric data to track vaccinations from birth and tie them to individuals’ legal identities, says the biometrics solutions firm tasked with the project.NEC is a multinational Japanese electronics company which specializes in biometric technology such as iris scanners, facial recognition and fingerprint readers. The company has partnered with GAVI, a UN-sponsored vaccination body, to collect biometric data from newborn infants. The data are then used to track their vaccinations.GAVI, which is also funded by the World Health Organization, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and other organizations, is committed to executing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of those goals, SDG 16, aims to register all children under five with legal identities. September 16th has been marked as annual&nbsp;<a href="https://www.id-day.org/">Identity Day</a> in recognition of that goal.NEC and GAVI have begun pilot testing a program in Ghana that immediately registers the biometric data of every newborn. At birth, infants’ fingerprints are scanned, as are the voices of their parents or caregivers. These data were collected to track each child's malaria vaccinations but are now being used to create digital identities which will also be used to benefit from public services.“The system designed to support early childhood vaccinations is part of a broader effort to provide legal identity to newborns and enable their identities to be safely authenticated,” NEC spokesman Joseph Jasper&nbsp;<a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202309/nec-infant-fingerprinting-system-approaches-move-from-vaccination-delivery-to-legal-id">told</a> Biometric Update last week.“The same system [which] ensures correct vaccine delivery, by establishing the child’s place of birth and caregiver relationship, can also be used to assign national identity, and then used for the delivery of other public services, like for health and education,” added&nbsp;Biometric Update.The World Economic Forum (WEF) hopes the Ghana program will ultimately lead to vaccinations being used for civil registration and for public services to be tied to biometric identities.“Initiatives such as this also open up the possibility of using immunisation to complete Civil Registration, provided that appropriate governance, legislation and protocols are in place. If these conditions are met, biometrics can become an excellent investment to deliver public services,” said a WEF&nbsp;<a href="https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/09/what-are-biometrics-and-how-can-they-help-tackle-malaria/">report</a> last week.

Canadians united across the country this month to <a href="https://ourduty.group/2023/08/10/leave-our-kids-alone-million-person-march/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">march</a> in peaceful protest against teaching gender ideology and sexual deviance in K-12 schools. &nbsp;These curriculum changes are euphemistically called “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity” (SOGI) programs.The “1 Million March 4 Children” took place on Wednesday, September 20, when concerned citizens gathered at parliament and legislative buildings to raise "a collective voice to send the essential message, ‘Leave Our Kids Alone.’”Passionate supporters turned out in key locations across the country, including Calgary, Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa, Edmonton, and Montreal. Displaying signs with messages such as, “Stop brainwashing my innocent children. Let them be children," “Keep politics out of schools,” and chanting, “Leave our kids alone,” protestors expressed their desire to protect children from SOGI messaging in schools.In Calgary, march organizer Mahmoud Mourra was pleased to see a <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/9973878/million-march-4-children-draws-hundreds-of-supporters-counter-protesters-in-downtown-calgary/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">turnout</a> of hundreds of supporters. Counter-protesters were present, too, as in many of the other march locations.&nbsp;Mourra comments,<blockquote>We should leave our kids, and their (the counter-protesters’) kids alone until they are adults and mature enough to determine what they want out of this life. I cannot press my Islamic ideology into someone’s life. I don’t want them pressing their ideology into my kids’ life.</blockquote>Mourra claims that the media's frequent depiction of people who oppose SOGI curriculum as “haters” is untrue. "I have all the love and respect for the other party which I consider brothers and sisters in humanity," said Mourra.Edmonton's march coordinator Benita Pedersen <a href="https://globalnews.ca/news/9973709/protests-counter-protests-edmonton-lgbtq2-schools-march-hate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">explains</a> protesters' concerns over what their children are experiencing in school:<blockquote>Parents are concerned about the secrecy in schools. There are times when teachers aren’t sharing with parents what’s going on with their children.</blockquote><blockquote>For some reason, the schools are planting seeds in the minds of young children to start thinking about transgenderism and that’s not right.</blockquote>Pedersen echoes Mourra's sentiments about the marches having nothing to do with hate, saying, “We’re not opposed to people who identify as a certain community. What we’re opposed to is introducing young children to adult concepts.”Those unable to attend the central marches in each province were encouraged to organize local protests and keep their children home from school that day in a “walk out” demonstration.
