00:00:00.000 Are you afraid of catching COVID again?
00:00:02.740 Will you take the new Moderna mRNA vaccine
00:00:05.320 that the government is telling all Canadians
00:00:07.040 six months of age and older to take?
00:00:08.900 And will you break out the old muzzle?
00:00:10.440 Will you break out the mask this fall?
00:00:12.760 The answer to all three of those questions is likely no.
00:00:15.240 And for most of you, it'll be more like hell no.
00:00:18.180 But that is the advice coming from our self-important
00:00:20.600 public health bureaucrats like Theresa Tam in Ottawa
00:00:23.660 and Kieran Moore in Toronto.
00:00:25.780 I do think now is the time to get your mask ready
00:00:29.200 if you don't already have them.
00:00:31.340 NACI is reaffirming its guidance
00:00:33.320 on the use of COVID-19 vaccines this fall.
00:00:37.020 NACI recommends authorized age groups
00:00:39.540 get an updated COVID-19 vaccine dose this fall,
00:00:43.460 six months after the last vaccine dose or infection.
00:00:47.120 Despite the fact that COVID cases are at historic lows,
00:00:50.700 in an attempt to try and bring us back to 2020 and 2021,
00:00:54.180 the years of lockdowns and authoritarian mandates,
00:00:57.420 Theresa Tam in Ottawa and Kieran Moore in Toronto
00:01:00.760 and, of course, the legacy media,
00:01:03.300 are now trying to scare everyone
00:01:04.920 into following the public health orders once again.
00:01:08.160 Now, like any public health orders,
00:01:10.200 the public needs to buy into the fear.
00:01:12.520 So we're here at Yonge and Dundas once again,
00:01:14.600 but this time we're here to ask the public
00:01:16.820 if they are buying what these self-important,
00:01:19.620 power-hungry public health bureaucrats are selling.
00:01:22.880 Toronto isn't what most people would consider
00:01:25.360 to be a conservative city.
00:01:27.440 In fact, far from it.
00:01:28.760 It's not a city that has cultivated
00:01:30.220 a healthy sense of personal liberty.
00:01:32.900 But just looking at a quick glance here,
00:01:35.280 I'm not seeing many masks.
00:01:37.100 So we're going to ask the public
00:01:38.120 what they think of these ridiculous recommendations
00:01:40.320 and if they're going to be following them this fall.
00:01:43.120 Let's check it out.
00:01:43.660 Are you afraid of catching COVID this fall?
00:01:48.900 I'm going to get a shot.
00:01:50.780 So you are going to take the new Moderna mRNA shot?
00:01:54.220 I've had no problem with them, so why not?
00:01:56.960 So you think that the government didn't go too far
00:01:59.660 during 2021, 2022 and the measures?
00:02:02.280 I didn't, no.
00:02:03.580 A lot of people did, but I did not.
00:02:05.480 Are you afraid of catching COVID this fall?
00:02:07.480 Yeah.
00:02:08.360 And why not?
00:02:09.400 Because I'm fully vaccinated.
00:02:10.980 Theresa Tam, our public health official,
00:02:13.760 said on Tuesday that Canadians should bring back the mask.
00:02:16.220 You're not wearing a mask.
00:02:17.520 They're stupid.
00:02:18.760 They're stupid.
00:02:19.500 Fucking stupid.
00:02:20.580 They don't even know what it is.
00:02:21.900 I mean, like, you know, they just want to...
00:02:23.500 It's all gold.
00:02:24.800 It's politics, bro.
00:02:26.420 Aren't you following the rules
00:02:27.520 by getting all those boosters?
00:02:28.780 No, no.
00:02:30.240 For my own personal being.
00:02:32.080 Do you think the government went too far
00:02:33.540 with mandates and rules in 2021 and 2022,
00:02:36.800 or do you think the government approach was right?
00:02:38.600 I think it was right.
00:02:40.520 It's for our protection.
00:02:42.700 So will you take the new Moderna mRNA vaccine?
00:02:45.400 They're telling everyone to take it.
00:02:46.700 You won't.
00:02:47.600 Tired of this life.
00:02:48.860 Some people like me are allergic to the vaccine.
00:02:52.620 Vaccine, I got a reaction to me.
00:02:56.260 It gave me pain in my back, pain in my neck,
00:03:00.100 and other things.
00:03:01.740 Other things.
00:03:02.780 Damage my eyes, everything.
00:03:04.560 Everything.
00:03:04.780 The vaccine is worse than the disease.
00:03:09.160 This is nonsense.
00:03:10.340 Like, nonsense with a capital N.
00:03:13.440 Anybody buys into that without even testing on humans.
00:03:18.120 This is done without testing.
00:03:19.740 It started in the States.
00:03:20.660 It rolled into here.
00:03:22.980 That's unbelievable.
00:03:24.420 That people would just, yeah, yeah, okay.
00:03:26.120 Okay.
00:03:26.920 Teresa Tam, like what?
00:03:27.960 Treating her like a god.
00:03:29.020 A goddess.
00:03:30.520 Meanwhile, you know, what?
00:03:31.660 Like, what does she know that we don't know?
00:03:33.660 Will you be wearing a mask if the government says to bring back masks?
00:03:37.100 Yeah.
00:03:38.020 I've got a little bit of background in chemical biology.
00:03:40.660 So I know what it is.
00:03:41.780 It's not a cure.
00:03:42.420 It's just protection.
00:03:44.400 And I'm guessing you'll also be taking the new mRNA vaccine as well?
00:03:49.140 Yeah.
00:03:50.640 Yes, I'll take it.
00:03:52.620 You'll take another one?
00:03:53.440 Yeah.
00:03:53.980 Yeah.
00:03:54.200 I don't think we've anything to fear from the vaccines.
00:03:57.460 I think there's a lot of scaremongering going on.
00:04:02.160 But I think it's safer with the vaccine than without it.
00:04:05.600 I won't do none of those things.
00:04:07.520 I don't believe in that anymore.
00:04:09.800 I did at the beginning.
00:04:11.300 I thought they were doing something for us.
00:04:12.880 Right now, I don't believe in none of them.
00:04:14.860 They're seeing the news.
00:04:15.780 Do you think we went too hard with mandates and measures in 2021 and 2022?
00:04:20.220 I think we did quite a bit.
00:04:21.960 Quite too hard, to be honest with you.
00:04:23.820 A lot of business were hurt because of that.
00:04:27.340 And I don't agree with what they did.
00:04:29.660 Will you be taking the shot when it comes out?
00:04:31.500 Yeah, I will.
00:04:32.620 You know what?
00:04:33.300 If I hear that there's a rise in COVID, I probably would bring back my mask and I'd get my shot.
00:04:40.180 Do you think we went too far with mandates in 2021 and 2022 or not far enough?
00:04:44.740 I think we just did the right thing.
00:04:46.840 I think the government was on it.
00:04:48.520 And I think that the health care system took care of everybody.
00:04:51.580 I think it was well handled.
00:04:53.380 All right.
00:04:53.840 Well, there you go.
00:04:54.580 I think the majority of people we spoke to said that they will gladly follow the government's orders once again,
00:05:00.540 if it's to wear a mask, if it's to take the shot.
00:05:03.440 The majority of people we spoke to, despite them not wearing a mask,
00:05:06.480 and even though Theresa Tam told them to wear a mask and get the mask ready,
00:05:10.600 they are going to be taking the vaccine.
00:05:12.560 They're going to be taking the mask and following orders.
00:05:14.900 There are a few people who are done with this.
00:05:17.000 They think it's overblown.
00:05:18.560 It's ridiculous.
00:05:19.360 We spoke to a few of those people.
00:05:21.140 But I have to say it was surprising to hear so many people say,
00:05:24.740 yeah, they're fine with government orders.
00:05:26.940 They're fine with taking the vaccine and the mask.
00:05:29.600 Maybe it's good news for Theresa Tam and the public health bureaucrats
00:05:33.240 who want to ratchet up the fear once again.
00:05:36.740 But let me know in the comments what you think of Torontonians
00:05:39.320 and their responses to our questions.
00:05:41.600 For True North, I'm Harrison Faulkner.
