    I know I’ve mentioned it before. But…I think the majority of people are getting the kits to test themselves prior to visiting family over the holidays. It is a peace of mind tool, whether it’s accurate or not. I doubt many will follow the new restrictions on family get togethers. To be clear, my assumption is that their desire to acquire the kits is not driven by fear, but by love and respect for those they wish to visit.

    I have a question for you and I am not trolling. I am truly curious.
    What is it that makes you guys recognize this charade while the majority does not?
    What is going on in your brain that is not happening in the vast majority of other people?
    Professional health care workers almost overwhelmingly support the mainstream story of the pandemic. These people have at least average intelligence, and with out doubt, more knowledge about health issues than you and I. The rest of the population also accepts the mainstream concepts about the pandemic.
    What makes you guys special so that you see this situation and the rest of us don't?
    You must have asked yourselves this question many, many times. What did you come up with?
    Where did you get that idea? Let me guess, main stream media. There are many thousands of people in the health care field who disagree with your statement that has no facts to back it up.

    The world has always been that way since I've been in it.

    1% Controls the World 4% are Sellout Puppets 9o% are Asleep 5% Know and are Trying to Wake up the 90% The 1 % Don't Want the 5% Waking up the 90%. We live in a controlled world. It is as simple as that. When you are a part of this elite force, keeping the public distracted is just the nature of the game. Nicola Tesla

    In a world full of propaganda the truth will always be a conspiracy. Henry Hilldebrant.

    The answer to your question is an elevated level of consciousness and a desire to solve the problem. What I mean is it's not like they're hiding all of it from you and when or if they do it's usually hidden in plain site. They've made their intentions clear, there's even books written about it for Pete's sake and most of the other stuff can be found on government websites, As for the rest of them they likely think there is something to gain or are complacent in their cognitive dissonance that they just can't be bothered. This didn't just happen overnight their plan has been in the making for a long while, we are just at the end stage of it. The only way to stop it is for all of us to wake up, stand up and tell them how it's going to be or submit and surrender which seems to be the course we're on.

    Not all doctors and health care professionals are going along with this there are plenty of them that out spoken and have risked everything to bring you the truth but you won't hear about them in the MSM and the ignorant mock and ridicule them to no end. The ones going along with it are under threat of loosing their jobs, receive kickbacks and have failed to uphold their Oath.

    I don't know that any one is special they're more than likely just paying attention.

    In general terms, there is always a split in society as to who is a follower and who questions what is going on.

    What happened in the case of Covid, fear was used to perpetuate the myth that this virus was going to kill all of us. It was going to kill some...but nowhere near the lethality that the MSM and Politicians have led the public to believe.

    To this day, after multiple variants and waves, the death toll from the virus is only .08% of the population. And most of them (93%) were in a demographic of 60+ year olds with pre-existing autoimmune and comorbidity issues. A full 63% of the deaths were in 80+ age group, many living in LTC facilities.

    This pandemic has never been anywhere near the hype that it was built up to by the MSM from day one, and especially not a death threat to 99% of the population.

    Yet the Government has spent over $400 billion trying to stop the spread of it. Imposing restrictions that crippled our economy, put countless people out of work and closed thousands (many permanently) businesses, and screwed up the education of thousands of kids who were in the least affected cohort.

    Now they're vaccinating little kids who were never statistically affected by Covid for the past 2 years.

    For what ? A coronavirus that has only adversely affected (tested postive) 4% of the population and only 5% of them hospitalized. (Ont stats)

    What triggered me into looking deeper…the fact that prior to the vaccines being available, there was never any effort (still isn't) by this Government to collect data on those who had recovered from the virus and now have the antibodies that make them immune to Covid (the same antibodies at vaccine created). People who have recovered don't need the vaccine.

    Why would they not want to know, study and collect that data…it’s integral to herd immunity numbers, which was initially the entire goal of the vaccination program. ?

    Why would a Government be so bent on trying to vaccinate 100% of the population, thru coercion, with a vaccine that is to this day, still only authorized for emergency use. ?

    Why do people like myself and many others in society in general not buy into the subterfuge perpetrated by the MSM, is a good question. Maybe it would be better to ask yourself, why do people blindly follow without looking at the data, the same data that I have posted above, and wonder; why have we been duped?

    Worse yet trusting the result from a Covid home test and heading to party with family:

    If you plan on taking a rapid COVID test for peace of mind before heading to a holiday party or family dinner this week, experts urge you not to drop your guard if you see a negative result.

    Rapid tests are reliable when they come back positive, experts say. A negative result, on the other hand, could mean several things — none of which guarantee you don’t have COVID, or won’t spread it.

    “With a rapid test, a positive is a positive,” said Dr. Eric Arts, a virologist and immunology professor at Western University. “A negative is not a definitive negative. You may still be infected, regardless of what the rapid test shows you.”

    He added: “A sense of security doesn’t exist,”

    For one, a negative rapid test result could be a false negative. That happens more often with rapid tests than the PCR tests done at assessment centres, which are more accurate but still not infallible.

    It could also be the result of improper sample collection — it’s common for people to miss the part of their nose or upper respiratory tract the virus is replicating while taking a swab, Arts said.

    f you plan on taking a rapid COVID test for peace of mind before heading to a holiday party or family dinner this week, experts urge you not to drop your guard if you see a negative result.

    Not to argue the reliability of the tests, because I truly don’t know. But I find it interesting how some can pick and choose what data or information or news story they follow, just because it fits their narrative.

    Are you saying there are two sets of books? The reliability of data should always be taken into consideration if you expect an accurate depiction. This isn't a I'm a Leafs fan vs. I'm a Habs fan.

    Bingo! Winner, winner!

    They want to know why there's hysteria with rapid tests ... it's simple, no conspiracy ... people are freaking out about a shut down, the new variant, and WANT to see their loved ones for Christmas. Hospital test bookings are through the roof ... go ahead and try on the Halton site to get a booking ... maybe you'll find something in January! So, people are now resorting to the rapid tests as a way to get confirmation of their virus status, hoping for a negative result, so they can actually visit with their family and friends.

    It's nothing more than people being diligent to test themselves before they go see Grandma for Christmas!

    Really? I tried booking in Halton last night ... first appointment I could get was well into next week.
    That's past Christmas according to my calculation.

    Anyone who suspects they may have the virus, or has come in close contact with someone suspected to have the virus, will not
    be helped by your average clinic like Shoppers ... they will refuse you, unless you lie. You have to go to a hospital ... so suddenly
    rapid tests become a great option.

    There are many millions of healthcare workers that support the vaccine, and understand the severity of the virus.
    Millions vs. thousands ... think about that. For sure the few health workers that are reluctant to get the vaccine are the minority.
