 In a study conducted in a Galilee hospital, 26 percent of vitamin D-deficient coronavirus patients died, while among other patients the figure was at 3%. «This is a very, very significant discrepancy, which represents a big clue that starting the disease with very low vitamin D leads to increased mortality and more severity,» Dr. He analyzed data on 1,176 patients admitted to the Galilee Medical Center, 253 of whom had vitamin D levels on record, for a study that has been published online but not yet been peer-reviewed. Half of those with recorded levels were vitamin D-deficient. Most of them measured vitamin D levels once patients were already sick, which can complicate interpretation of the results.

A new study finds that lockdown orders didn’t reduce overall mortality, and may have even increased it. Life under lockdown was hard for all of us. From economic destruction to social isolation, the costs of restrictive government policies intended to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have been steep. In a new paper, economists from the University of Southern California and the RAND Corporation examined the effectiveness of «shelter-in-place» mandates, aka stay-at-home orders, using data from 43 countries and all 50 US states.

Rex Murphy: Cutting honours programs and keeping smart kids down proves the silliness of 'inclusivity'

The Vancouver School Board is cutting all sports programs and all sports competitions because, the school district says, «they do not comply with the equity and inclusion goal of ensuring that all students can participate in every aspect of the curriculum». For the same reason they will also end all coaching services for those students who show special skills at hockey, track and field, wrestling and ping pong. «Sports competitions are an especial plague,» said one staff member who demanded to be kept anonymous since everyone would think is a total moron, «because in every one of them two or three participants always end up in the winner’s circle, while others are either left in shame at the back of the pack, or worse still have to sit them out in the bleachers cheering on their ‘superiors. » No honours instruction, I trust, is needed to see that all the above is my own little fiction, possibly tainted by a tint of irony, but its inspiration is palpably all too true and real.

 Canada’s entire COVID lockdown policy, combined with our negligent failure to obtain adequate supplies of vaccine, has been a disaster, yet the Trudeau government is still preening itself about it, and the opposition isn’t scoring. It was obvious on the available facts almost a year ago that the COVID-19 survival rate was 99 per cent for healthy people up to 65, and approximately 95 per cent for the elderly and infirm and that the only successful approach was to pull out all stops to develop a vaccine while segregating the elderly and otherwise vulnerable and permitting the remaining 80 per cent of society to get on with their lives. As usual, Canada fell in with the U. Most of Europe wallowed in the exaggerated woes of the Coronavirus, but none more proudly and «systemically» than Canada. The latest flare-up of this misplaced, imitative, Canadian public policy lunacy has been around race.

 The median age of patients who experienced the inflammation after a second vaccine dose was 24, according to U. The agency said it is still assessing the risk from the condition and has not yet concluded that there was a causal relationship between the vaccines and cases of myocarditis or pericarditis. While some patients required hospitalization, most have fully recovered from their symptoms, the CDC said. There were 283 observed cases of heart inflammation after the second vaccine dose in those aged 16 to 24 in the VAERS data. Shimabukuro said there was a predominance of males in younger age groups among the reported heart inflammation cases.

Why I spoke out against lockdowns

Martin Kulldorff, a professor of medicine at Harvard University.

I had no choice but to speak out against lockdowns. As a public-health scientist with decades of experience working on infectious-disease outbreaks, I couldn’t stay silent. Not when basic principles of public health are thrown out of the window. Not when lockdown opponents were thrown to the wolves.

Covid vaccine profits mint 9 new pharma billionaires

 

Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel, left, and BioNTech CEO Ugur Sahin.

Topping the list of new billionaires are Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel and Ugur Sahin, the CEO of BioNTech , which has produced a vaccine with Pfizer . Both CEOs are now worth around $4 billion, according to an analysis by the People’s Vaccine Alliance, a campaign group that includes Oxfam, UNAIDS, Global Justice Now and Amnesty International. The company’s single-dose Covid-19 vaccine was approved for use in China in February. The nine new billionaires are worth a combined $19.3 billion, enough to fully vaccinate some 780 million people in low-income countries, campaigners said.

An Inconvenient Truth: EVs May Offer A "Negligible" CO2 Difference From ICE Vehicles

 When considering the amount of carbon and CO2 created from assembling lithium ion batteries, one firm thinks the difference could be «negligible». The firm, established in 2015, posted a blog entry entitled «Exploring Lithium-ion Electric Vehicles’ Carbon Footprint» this week, where they call into question a former ICE vs. Their analysis «details the tremendous amount of energy needed to manufacture a lithium-ion battery.» Because a typical EV is on average 50% heavier than a similar internal combustion engine, the analysis notes that the «embedded carbon» in an EV is therefore 20–50% more than an internal combustion engine.

Not a shred of doubt: Sweden was right

In the past year many are counting deaths, but the numbers have no meaning without the context of a relevant time period, population and history. The most counted country is probably Sweden, a stubborn dissenter that refused lockdowns, mask mandates and contact tracing. By the time of this writing, 14,349 Swedes have reportedly died from the coronavirus.

Those of us who believed in a bicultural Canada and took the trouble to achieve that status personally do not regret it, but nor do we forgive the premeditated dishonesty of Quebec’s cultural leadership.
