Rebel News Podcast - EZRA LEVANT ｜ Even zombie apocalypses go woke in 2021

00:00:00.000 tonight what's scarier than a zombie apocalypse well how about

00:00:19.080 wokeism in a zombie apocalypse novel it's monday november 8th 2021 and this is the ezra

00:00:27.260 laven show why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer i know there's 8 500

00:00:35.000 customers here and you won't give them an answer the only thing i have to say to the government

00:00:40.040 is because it's my bloody right to do so

00:00:44.000 you know folks prior to the pandemic my reading mix used to be about 70 percent non-fiction 30

00:00:54.980 fiction but thanks to covid and all the misery and nonsense inherent to it those percentages

00:01:02.920 reversed i estimate that these days 70 of my reading material is fiction hey the current

00:01:09.720 reality is just way too harsh so i crave some escapism during my free time besides is george

00:01:18.280 orwell's 1984 really a work of fiction anymore in 2021 in any event nothing screams escapism

00:01:27.040 more than a good old zombie apocalypse novel so it was that i recently purchased a copy of

00:01:34.120 the living dead now this novel was originally started by the late great george romero a visionary

00:01:42.020 who practically invented the zombie genre with the release of night of the living dead back in 1968

00:01:49.460 followed by countless sequels and remakes and of course endless imitators alas romero passed away

00:01:58.280 in 2017 and his zombie masterpiece in progress had to be completed by a member of the still living

00:02:06.680 unfortunately the relief writer who stumbled out of the literary bullpen was a sultan of soy 0.71

00:02:14.320 daniel kraus to quote colonel kurtz the horror the horror now in fairness this novel makes for a great

00:02:26.360 yarn for the first 400 or so pages maybe that was the work of romero for the most part but then

00:02:34.000 thanks to kraus i assume the living dead takes a horrific departure from horror sinking itself into a

00:02:42.500 quicksand of wokeness now that's really scary kids indeed the novel really begins to unravel by page 476

00:02:53.400 when this thriller about the worldwide fight for survival i.e humans versus zombified humans and even

00:03:02.040 zombified animals suddenly devolves into an uber preachy diatribe that owes less to the horror genre and more to

00:03:11.640 critical race theory and no folks i swear i'm not kidding indeed once the book enters the home stretch

00:03:20.040 it is set right here in toronto it's now some five years after the original zombie outbreak in october of

00:03:28.560 2023 and apparently the world's human population is pretty much 99 snuffed out yet check out this piece of

00:03:39.440 pithy prose that reeks worse than rotting flesh quote even before 1023 canada had tempted americans aching for

00:03:50.960 a land where guns weren't handed out like candy end quote folks if humanity is facing its extinction event

00:04:00.320 thanks to zombie people zombie dogs zombie dolphins zombie rats etc etc when the remaining bona fide living

00:04:10.880 humans want access to copious quantities of guns and ammo in order to oh you know stay alive wouldn't even the 0.99

00:04:21.680 biggest anti-gun zealot by this point fall to their knees thanking god for the second amendment but no because

00:04:31.360 it seems that the way out of this horrific existence for the remaining living members of mankind is by

00:04:42.000 embracing diversity check it out quote there were the elderly the middle-aged infants women men non-binary

00:04:51.360 people gender fluid people intersex trans gay straight bisexual pansexual polyamorous neurotypical

00:05:01.520 neurodiverse muslims christians hindus buddhists jews sikhs deists wiccans pagans plus lots of agnostics even 0.64

00:05:11.840 more atheists and a single drag queen who like to be called lady decline people who were physically

00:05:19.920 intellectually psychologically psychologically and or neurologically disabled or impaired

00:05:26.000 was all this chance or necessity nishmura once told the face he wondered if this was why they'd all

00:05:34.960 been driven to toronto sometimes called the most multicultural city end quote what the hell

00:05:43.520 craus suggests that in order to keep the undead hordes at bay one needs simply embrace that beatles song

00:05:53.440 you know all you need is love personally i disagree i think all one really needs is in that situation

00:06:01.440 it's a glock a humvee and maybe even a little toxic masculinity to get the job done sorry folks but i just

00:06:08.640 can't believe that the alpha male taking charge during a zombie apocalypse is someone who more or

00:06:14.960 less resembles jonathan jessica yaniv simpson but then again what do i know kraus points out that when it

00:06:23.360 comes to a leftist enclave wokeism is so contagious that even the zombies end up getting infected turning into

00:06:33.600 peaceniks such as a character known as the chief a member of the undead who by this point is more

00:06:42.800 into virtue signaling and less into eating the flesh of the remaining members of homo sapiens

00:06:50.960 quote the chief loved bright plastic buttons and fancy enamel pins like deathless corsages they covered

00:06:59.600 almost every inch of her coat most of them had a certain slant this was queen street toronto trans

00:07:07.760 people matter sparkly gold feminist af matt pink stay green over a recycling symbol love is equal two

00:07:18.720 smiley clouds linked by a rainbow sea world still sucks blue and fishbowl shaped end quote yeah you know

00:07:29.840 folks i experienced my edition of the summer of love on toronto's queen street last september

00:07:36.960 when i happened upon a homeless encampment at trinity bellwoods park that would not be out of place as

00:07:44.240 the final setting for the living dead novel remember this delightful scene and whatever you do kids

00:07:51.280 don't forget to wear your 3d glasses

00:08:04.800 you know i still have the bite marks folks but yeah that is the reality of a homeless love fest on toronto's

00:08:15.280 queen street harley a kumbaya moment wouldn't you agree by the way did kraus outsmart himself with

00:08:23.360 the trans lives matter slogan look i'm not saying trans lives don't matter but isn't that whole lives

00:08:31.680 matter jingle thingy exclusively reserved for the blm folks hey just ask len macaulay who posted a sign

00:08:41.120 at his toronto home hardware store last year stating quote all lives matter be safe be kind end quote

00:08:50.160 well you would have thought he had put a swastika on display such was the outrage from the woke mob

00:08:58.240 the sign quickly came down and macaulay profusely apologized and then of course he resigned from the

00:09:04.480 roncesvalles village business improvement area the virus that is cancel culture had struck yet again 0.68

00:09:15.040 but i wonder if kraus will also apologize for his act of cultural appropriation for that matter i wonder

00:09:23.200 if kraus who lives in chicago has actually even visited hogtown speaking of blm there is a black

00:09:32.240 female character in the living dead who seems forever obsessed with getting away from white men but why is 1.00

00:09:41.280 there still white privilege during a end of the world time you know i hearken back to that line from the

00:09:48.800 first season of the walking dead tv series in which it is explained that in a zombie apocalypse there's

00:09:56.000 really no such thing anymore as black people and white people because all we are to the zombies is 0.98

00:10:02.240 dark meat and light meat by the way it should be pointed out that daniel kraus is a white single male

00:10:10.560 the self-hating kind i should think for example on his website he actually notes that if you are

00:10:18.400 reaching out to book him on a speaking panel if that panel happens to be made up exclusively of white

00:10:26.160 men he will cancel his appearance now why would this loving tolerant progressive state something so

00:10:35.920 profoundly racist you know i did reach out to mr kraus by the way but i never heard back from him

00:10:43.680 maybe he was too busy shopping for soy or something which is too bad because one of the questions

00:10:50.720 i had for him was this how does the living dead end i'm about 150 pages short of the finish line

00:10:58.480 but i just can't go on anymore this story got infected not by a zombie virus but by a contagion

00:11:06.800 that's far worse politically correct woke ism oh poor george romero he must be rolling in his grave

00:11:15.520 right now wishing zombieism was actually a real thing so i don't know he could enact some vengeance

00:11:23.120 against those who would desecrate this genre alas it should be noted that the woke media loves the tripe that

00:11:32.640 is the living dead states the washington post the definitive account of the zombie apocalypse

00:11:40.480 the new york times chimes in with panoramic and sweeping a smorgasbord of the undead a book that

00:11:48.480 will give even the most ardent zombie lovers their fix not this ardent zombie lover i'll tell you but of

00:11:56.640 course the washington compost and the new york slimes would state such claptrap because daniel kraus

00:12:04.480 is preaching to the converted when it comes to mainstream media zombies now i know what some of

00:12:11.680 you might be saying right now hey big deal the living dead is merely some goofy work of fiction

00:12:18.320 that means squat in the final analysis but i respectfully disagree for this is bigger than just some

00:12:27.440 random dumb zombie book that's because daniel kraus and his prose is indicative of what has happened to

00:12:34.560 society at large in recent years when it comes to wokeness and progressiveness and critical race theory 0.98

00:12:43.920 and even marxism infiltrating all aspects of our lives from education and politics to entertainment

00:12:52.800 so it is we now live in a society where some lives matter and some lives do not so it is we exist in

00:13:00.160 a bizarre biosphere in which racism is unacceptable except when it comes to vilifying certain races

00:13:08.560 and hey seeking escape and fiction is no longer an option the ideology of the far left like a zombie apocalypse

00:13:17.040 itself has taken root but the question arises is this movement unstoppable well no i think it isn't hope abounds

00:13:29.360 in a measure of hope against loony left progressiveness came last week thanks to various u.s elections

00:13:37.280 states side first and foremost republican candidate glenn youngkin stunned the democrat incumbent

00:13:44.480 governor terry mcauliffe in virginia youngkin campaigned on the detriments of critical race theory

00:13:52.400 meanwhile former governor mcauliffe stated that parents should have no say when it comes to their

00:13:59.760 child's education yes he actually said that well guess what mama bear woke up and she wasn't

00:14:06.880 pleased that the three r's were being jettisoned in virginia in favor of an approved form of racism 0.85

00:14:14.240 and the gross ideology that promotes the radical transgender movement there were republican victories

00:14:22.560 and near victories all across america last tuesday even in uber woke minneapolis where the defund the police

00:14:29.840 agenda seemed like the police agenda seemed like a slam dunk proposition after the death of george floyd

00:14:36.240 but voters rejected a ballot question in which a new public safety department whatever the hell that means

00:14:44.320 would replace the minneapolis police force yeah so maybe defunding the police looks good on paper

00:14:53.040 but the gut check reality is that when an armed thug is trying to break into your home in the wee hours of

00:14:59.200 the morning who are you going to call the ghostbusters you know it was so pleasing to witness the events of

00:15:06.800 last tuesday rattling democrats and of course their allies in the mainstream media and when analyzing

00:15:14.960 what went wrong well democratic strategist james carvel nailed it i think when he stated quote 0.98

00:15:22.720 what went wrong is stupid wokeness end quote indeed in the months ahead will the democrats regroup in time 0.96

00:15:31.920 for next year's midterm elections will they move away from radical leftism or will they double down on american 0.98

00:15:41.680 marxism to use that superb descriptor from the brilliant author and broadcaster mark levin

00:15:49.920 oh and speaking of zombies closer to home will conservative leader erin o'toole ever you know

00:15:58.000 wake up here's a guy who has just conducted three press events since the september election

00:16:05.440 less than half of the press events prime minister justin trudeau has held now you'd think the man who

00:16:12.880 wants to be pm would be doing everything possible to get his message out apparently not but why maybe

00:16:21.760 it's because his unofficial slogan is don't be too conservative or is his catchphrase me too me too when

00:16:30.880 it comes to liberal policies ranging from carbon taxes to gun bans personally i don't think erin o'toole 0.59

00:16:40.000 or his wimpy war room learned anything from last tuesday or for that matter the last canadian federal

00:16:47.280 election back on september 20th indeed don't forget o'toole actually claimed victory for the conservatives

00:16:55.920 on election night given that the trudeau liberals were held to a minority you know erin o'toole strikes

00:17:03.280 me as the kind of guy who does fist pumps when a game of chess ends in a stalemate and so it is that

00:17:11.440 when the next election is called likely within the next two years mr o'toole will continue to plod along

00:17:19.040 zombie-like moving his party yet further and further to the left in order to woo the laurentian 1.00

00:17:26.320 elites while ignoring the his western canada base well we all know how that monster chiller horror

00:17:35.520 theater movie ends talk about the living dead indeed

00:17:53.200 well folks the covid 19 carnage continues no i do not speak about rising positive cases or the death toll

00:18:02.880 rather i speak of the economic carnage i.e the thousands of canadians right across our great

00:18:10.400 dominion who are losing their jobs for failure to for failure to getting the jabs or disclosing their

00:18:18.080 vaccination status indeed in toronto's sun the first front page of today the headline reads hundreds of

00:18:25.520 toronto district school board staff placed on unpaid leave after failing to disclose vax status and one

00:18:34.320 of those employees just happens to be my guest right now she is laurie parrot she was with the hr 1.00

00:18:40.720 department of the toronto district school board and is now well on unpaid leave laurie thank you so much

00:18:48.720 for joining me today thank you for having me i really appreciate it so laurie um i think you bring a

00:18:56.080 unique perspective given that you are from the hr department we have spoken to several teachers at

00:19:02.000 various school boards what i want to get to right off the hopper is this whatever happened to that concept

00:19:09.040 you know reasonable accommodation why does it have to be this draconian rule that we have to have 100

00:19:18.160 percent vaccination or you must disclose your vac status or you're out of a job well i can't say or

00:19:27.200 speak to that uh it's the trustees that basically make the decisions they've had two meetings in the

00:19:32.880 past two weeks they've got another meeting coming up and it seems that there are only two trustees on

00:19:38.720 the tdsc uh trustee uh list out of 24 that actually support uh choice and everybody else is voting for

00:19:50.400 a mandated vaccine for all staff and you know i'm glad you raised the issue of choice because for decades

00:19:59.680 now we've seen from the feminist movement when it comes to the abortion debate my body my choice 0.82

00:20:06.160 um has that gone out of fashion that slogan or does that merely pertain to terminating a baby's life

00:20:16.800 i believe that when it comes to covid uh there that does not apply i think uh for the most part

00:20:24.640 overall it still applies to abortion although that seems to be with covid falling off the wayside as

00:20:31.280 well that people have become either for or against something there is doesn't seem to be as much

00:20:36.000 middle ground these days in my opinion and tell me um what does this mean for the toronto district

00:20:42.560 school board lori to lose more than 800 staff i guess it can go either um to one of two ways one is

00:20:51.440 that maybe uh there was so much um you know redundancy in terms of how many people were at the board that

00:20:59.600 nobody will notice when those staff are gone or maybe these are crucial staff members and the end

00:21:06.560 result is going to directly affect and impede the education that the kids are going to get

00:21:14.560 oh it's absolutely going to impede i deal with one unit of collective agreements in my hr position we

00:21:23.040 have different um hr groups for the different units and i can tell you in my unit and from the

00:21:29.040 information i have from my colleagues in the other units we are very short staffed at this point and

00:21:34.720 that's because people have gone on leaves they've resigned as a result of the vax mandate or for

00:21:40.000 whatever their other reasons are and now by at this time uh there are only 800 that have been put on a

00:21:47.120 leave um and i'd like to correct that i'm not currently on a leave but i will be placed on one effective

00:21:52.640 november 21st because i am refusing to get the vaccination so what the people who are on leave

00:21:58.560 at this time are the people who refuse to disclose their vaccination status and then by november 21st if

00:22:05.520 they um the rest of us who have disclosed their vaccination status but are refusing to be vaccinated

00:22:12.160 are going to be placed on leave at that time and the estimation by the board is about 4 800 additional

00:22:18.400 employees to those 800 employees and we are already short staffed in schools it's going to make

00:22:24.640 classroom sizes probably 40 to 50 students per class they're not going to have the support in place

00:22:31.840 for the teachers they're not going to have enough teachers to run things they're not gonna have enough

00:22:35.680 caretakers uh administrative staff and and it goes right across the board from my understanding even

00:22:42.640 one of our senior team people are not vaccinated and is also facing uh being placed on leave effective

00:22:50.960 november 21st as well wow lori so it's much worse than what's being reported then with this hard november

00:22:58.160 21st deadline for so many uh more tds employees to make that decision and what is the um what is the mood

00:23:07.600 of people in your camp lori that don't want to get the vaccination i mean i certainly respect your

00:23:14.720 decision but by the same token this kind of coercion that you must get jabbed even against your will if

00:23:23.200 you want to maintain your job and my heart goes out to all these people because hey listen at the end

00:23:29.440 of the day you got to pay the mortgage you got to put groceries on the table i imagine there are so

00:23:35.520 many people in your shoes that are in just a terrible situation because of this mandate

00:23:43.360 that is absolutely correct we do collaborate together and share information and share our

00:23:49.360 feelings some people do not have any other recourse to go to um for whatever their reasons are uh they

00:23:57.520 they don't have other options um those that had options are exploring those and those include

00:24:03.840 applying to different boards that do not have the vaccination mandate some have a backup businesses

00:24:10.560 like myself i have my own business and some people are just financially okay to retire or resign at this

00:24:18.400 point but the rest of them are scrambling in terms of what to do and struggling with this decision with

00:24:24.720 their livelihood on the line they we are all very much against the vaccination because it's still in

00:24:30.880 trials there's a lot of health issues that come from it people are dying people are getting long-term

00:24:37.840 health problems as a result of getting the vaccination which are not always clear straight

00:24:42.320 away once you have it sometimes it happens a few months later or a few weeks later or a few days later

00:24:47.520 it's not always immediate and we don't know what's going to happen 10 15 years down the road from now so

00:24:52.240 we are literally scared of getting this vaccine we do not trust that it is safe just based on the

00:24:58.400 information that's coming out now and who's to say what's going to happen in the future so our mood

00:25:03.840 is angry frustrated scared uh some of us cry on a regular basis wondering what we're going to do this

00:25:12.080 is a career that we've put our you know heart and soul into especially teachers um and not just

00:25:18.720 especially teachers but teachers are devoted to their children and the kids that they teach in the

00:25:23.520 classroom and it saddens them to have to leave not because of a performance issue or because they've

00:25:29.840 done wrong but just because they are not going to submit themselves to medical experimentation

00:25:35.360 um and it's heart-wrenching and on top of that this is the way our employer is treating us and in

00:25:41.360 the meantime for those of us who do have to work to november 21st and perhaps maybe onward if they're

00:25:47.120 making the choice to get vaccinated when they're telling us nobody is held liable nobody's going to

00:25:53.600 be responsible for any vaccine injuries that you incur and yeah okay if you incur it sure file for wsib

00:26:00.400 that's the only recourse that you have and you know we're sitting here's like how can our employer treat

00:26:05.920 us this way and how can we devote ourselves to our job and to doing a good job and show up to work every

00:26:12.400 day in a good mood you know wanting to do a good job when we are so easily discarded in the trustees

00:26:19.920 meeting that they had two weeks ago they they said tdsb employees are expendable and replaceable

00:26:27.360 how do you come back from that and laurie i'm glad you raised the issue of uh health complications

00:26:35.280 is there any accommodation whatsoever i i know uh religious exemptions have been shot down uh across

00:26:44.080 the board but when it comes to one's health if you can prove from your doctor that you run the risk

00:26:53.280 of an allergic reaction for example um is there any accommodation to those people when it comes to the

00:27:01.120 toronto district school board the information that was released last night from the trustees

00:27:07.040 was i think there's something like over 900 people who have applied for different medical and religious

00:27:14.080 treats so far they have reviewed and approved two of them and they are medical exemptions and i believe

00:27:20.720 that they they didn't give a lot of details but those are based on what you're just saying people who have

00:27:26.000 pre-existing conditions or can prove to have allergic reactions to the ingredients that are in the

00:27:32.880 vaccine pretty much everything else they've told us is going to be denied so those 900 people who are

00:27:39.600 waiting for a verdict are basically going to be denied they say under pretty much no circumstances are

00:27:45.680 they going to accept anything and from my understanding when the people i know who've gone to a doctor to

00:27:51.600 request a medical exemption everybody's saying no all the doctors are saying no and i know that it's

00:27:56.960 been put out in the news that the doctors are being threatened with losing their license if they do

00:28:01.760 approve medical exemptions regardless of what the reasons are they're not even exploring that they

00:28:08.080 could be valid reasons they're just being told that they will lose their license if they provide any

00:28:13.920 exemption for anybody requiring it for work wow and laurie tell me um i don't know if you were unionized

00:28:20.960 or not uh certainly the teachers uh are unionized has the union gone to bat uh for the rank and file

00:28:29.200 at the toronto district school board no they haven't i'm not unionized because of my position

00:28:36.080 and senior team and anybody uh in central in human resources uh also is not unionized teachers are

00:28:43.280 unionized support staff are unionized um principals and vps are not unionized and caretaking

00:28:50.720 is unionized and all of the unions are coming together and saying that nope this is valid you

00:28:57.520 have to do it uh my understanding is that possibly i'm it's not 100 certain um there's a few unions

00:29:04.400 who have actually put in uh while they're saying this to their members that this is valid and they can

00:29:10.240 do this uh they have filed um grievances against the board for putting this mandate into place and

00:29:17.360 whether that's true or not or whether anything comes of that or not is another issue as well

00:29:22.720 but basically they're sticking together and laurie tell me uh because you weren't a unionized employee

00:29:28.400 that puts you in at an advantage in terms of filing a wrongful dismissal lawsuit is that a consideration

00:29:36.960 you have moving forward yes i have already consulted with a an employment lawyer um and i've been together

00:29:46.000 with some uh other people in the tdsb who are trying to get rocco glotti um as well as we've been

00:29:53.200 speaking with and going on um zoom meetings with roman babar who are trying to do stuff for us uh it's unclear

00:30:00.160 at this time if they can help us because we're such a large organization uh which is a little bit outside

00:30:06.000 of their scope so uh but individually we can go to employment lawyers and seek some help but it's not true that

00:30:13.600 because i'm not unionized that i have an advantage i don't i'm in the same vote as everybody else

00:30:20.720 whether we're unionized or not the employment law is the employment law as it is oh i i just meant in

00:30:26.800 terms of when uh you are a unionized employee uh there are various complications about filing uh wrongful

00:30:34.560 dismissal uh lawsuits i i understand that from labor lawyers but you know you're right you're losing a job

00:30:40.880 is losing a job and and it seems unjust to me and and unjust to a lot of people tell me lori um november

00:30:48.080 21st we'll be here before we know it that's that hard date uh in which it won't be just 800 and change uh

00:30:55.600 employees uh without a a position right now at the tdsb it'll be several hundred more do you think that since in your

00:31:04.960 estimation this is going to adversely affect the education of children so much so many staff members

00:31:13.360 laid off or fired will the tdsb um you know reverse itself if it sees that it simply cannot go on with

00:31:24.800 that many people out of the system well i can't say for certain but i do know at the last trustees

00:31:32.160 meeting not yesterday but the week before they were saying that they've already started hiring

00:31:37.200 since march of 2020 to predictably fill in spaces for people who will be placed on leave and that

00:31:45.040 includes all sorts of different staff and i can say being in hr that in the unit that i deal with or

00:31:52.560 handle or manage or assist we have been doing hirings are they mass hirings no and even with those

00:31:59.680 hirings we are still short staffed i you know i'm not in the teaching i don't deal with the teachers

00:32:05.840 hr i don't deal with caretaking uh or the psws and so forth there um but my understanding is everybody

00:32:13.840 is short staff across the board regardless of this hiring but tdsb trustees in that meeting basically

00:32:20.080 said oh we've been hiring we can replace everybody it's not a problem but from the numbers i'm looking

00:32:26.000 at it's going to be a problem safety in the school for the children and the workload for the teachers

00:32:31.520 and staff that are remaining is going to be insane and i don't think it's going to be manageable

00:32:37.040 mental health is going to be an issue and safety for the students and the staff is going to be an

00:32:41.440 issue as well you know and laurie since you are in a hr position i i'm just wondering what is the lay

00:32:47.840 of the land like uh at the toronto district school board or even other school boards for that matter

00:32:53.360 i think one of the very unfortunate things of this pandemic now that there are vaccines available

00:32:58.480 is the demonization of those who won't reveal their vac status or simply state i'm not getting

00:33:06.480 the jabs it's turning employee against employee sometimes even family member against family member

00:33:13.440 do you see that kind of discord at toronto schools absolutely uh there's so many people who are

00:33:22.080 entirely for and entirely against the vaccinations and it is creating a divide with my own family

00:33:29.360 with other people's families and within the school board and with the colleagues um there's just no

00:33:35.760 understanding and i believe that the media and everything else that people are reading and watching

00:33:41.760 is just adding to it uh it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated the unvaccinated are the problem

00:33:48.160 even tdsb policies at this point in time are stating that if you are fully vaccinated number one you don't

00:33:55.520 have to submit yourself to testing regardless of the fact that the viral loads and the vaccinated and

00:34:00.640 the unvaccinated are equal and you can equally spread and transmit the virus themselves they are not 1.00

00:34:06.080 requiring vaccinated people to submit to test the rapid antigen testing only the unvaccinated to do that

00:34:13.040 and if there is an outbreak of a covid within a school which does happen especially with the spec ed

00:34:18.560 programs uh where the students are developmentally disabled they need a lot of help there's always

00:34:24.880 people around them there's been large outbreaks in those sorts of schools uh only the unvaccinated

00:34:31.760 need to quarantine in a situation like that the vaccinated are not supposed to quarantine or not

00:34:37.280 required to quarantine they can continue working as possible in my opinion and the opinion of the

00:34:42.640 people that i'm speaking with that are my colleagues who feel the same as i do that's putting everybody

00:34:47.120 in danger because they can still carry and they can still transmit and you are allowing people to

00:34:52.960 enter a building and to continue working with exposure to covid and you're not testing and you're

00:34:59.040 not checking to make sure that those people are clear it's only the unvaccinated so that's a

00:35:03.360 discriminatory policy to begin with and it doesn't solve the problem and it's just going to perpetuate

00:35:09.200 the problem because at the end of the day come november 21st the only people that are going to

00:35:12.640 be in those schools are vaccinated staff yeah and what's going to happen when outbreaks begin at that

00:35:18.560 point and staff need to take leaves at that point because they are sick or they're in a hospital or

00:35:24.320 something happens to them and they have no backup at this point they have no backup now they're not

00:35:28.480 going to have backup november 21st when 4800 more employees go on leave or are placed on leave

00:35:34.160 no we'll certainly keep our eye on that and lori just to bring it back to your personal situation

00:35:39.600 i i don't know what your financial situation is but if you are terminated um does this mean dire

00:35:47.920 consequences for you or do you have another uh money earner in the household what does it mean for

00:35:54.800 you moving forward if there's no more future for you at the tdsb for myself i am a single mom of

00:36:03.040 uh three kids two of them are in university i'm paying university fees by myself um i do have resps

00:36:10.320 and you know some backup income not income i guess savings investments at this time i do run my own

00:36:17.120 business uh which you know i've been running as a side business while i'm doing my full-time job with tdsb

00:36:25.200 however um i've recently been putting into place my two-year plan into a tomorrow plan to get it sort of

00:36:32.800 catapulted and jump started into that area it will take me a little bit to get there i think that i

00:36:38.320 would be able to survive myself um it's just going to be a little bridging of some using some of my

00:36:44.800 savings in the meantime until i get to that point that's my situation wow i'm sorry to hear that you

00:36:51.600 know laurie uh we got to wrap it here but it's funny isn't it uh well perversely amusing might be the

00:36:56.960 better word decades ago in south africa we had apartheid uh a odious race-based system that made 0.97

00:37:04.960 south africa rightly so uh the pariah of the world and now here we are in 2021 in ontario canada and we

00:37:13.120 have basically medical apartheid um what i'm still trying to connect here is that even though hundreds

00:37:19.840 and hundreds of tdsb staff are going to be let go um the vast majority of the staff i assume are

00:37:27.840 double vac so what is the threat in having unvax co-workers because isn't that the point of the

00:37:36.080 vaccine that you're protected so last word goes to you my friend thank you uh well that's what we're

00:37:44.560 sitting here thinking it's like according to tdsb's trustee meeting last night they're claiming 95

00:37:50.240 of staff are double vaccinated 95 and yes that's spread across many different buildings but you know

00:37:56.800 i mean even ford has reversed his mandate for health care workers and education workers he's not forcing

00:38:02.960 it tdsb's continuing to force it and at 95 which originally when all of this happened and vaccines came

00:38:10.560 out ford was saying 80 is what we need to get to to open the economy well we're well past that

00:38:16.240 so what are we doing we don't have the answers nobody well the people who are affected don't

00:38:21.440 have the answers only the people in power have the answers and for us it's looking like it's a power grab

00:38:26.560 and it's a it's a it's it's just a power play there's no other explanation for it well larry lori

00:38:35.600 good luck in the days and months ahead i wish you the very best thank you for reaching out and

00:38:41.520 please stay in touch if anything regarding your situation changes in the meantime good luck to you

00:38:48.000 my friend thank you so much

00:38:50.000 well folks you had plenty to say about ezra's monologue on microsoft wokeism and also his

00:39:08.880 interview with sheila gun reid about our billboard problems in alberta wild bill writes when they get

00:39:17.200 asked tough questions they fold like cheap card tables rebel news asks the tough questions why

00:39:25.440 don't they like rebel news well they probably don't like rebel news wild bill because they've never

00:39:31.040 watched our content paul lavelle writes thank you for those videos i no longer listen to ctv or cbc

00:39:40.160 they are an insult to my intelligence well thank you very much but sadly you're still being dinged

00:39:46.000 from your tax dollars to support those odious networks social distance justice warrior writes 0.62

00:39:54.240 you know a long time ago being crazy meant something nowadays everybody's crazy charles manson

00:40:03.520 hey and i guess we can just put that to the theme music of let's go crazy by prince he lives on

00:40:10.400 and folks as for our video of the day tamara's interview with former health canada pharmaceutical

00:40:18.080 advisor on regulatory issues with covid vaccines it's a must watch but in this case i was particularly

00:40:28.240 struck by this whistleblower who had had previous experience of 20 years who then showed up at the

00:40:34.880 site in texas to help run the the clinical trial within two weeks she was taking pictures and send of

00:40:42.400 the gross uh flagrant kind of problems that she saw which included stuff like the patients were

00:40:51.520 put in a hallway after getting the vaccination

00:40:53.920 tamara ugolini here with rebel news and many of you have probably seen the recently published bmj that's

00:41:03.600 the british medical journal their whistleblower article regarding regulatory misconduct at the

00:41:10.960 lab in texas responsible for conducting one of pfizer's many clinical trials in this exclusive

00:41:17.920 interview i'm going to dissect that article with someone who has experience within the world of

00:41:23.440 pharmaceuticals regulatory standards and oversight and we're also going to discuss the potentially

00:41:29.360 deadly integrity issues and inconsistent manufacturing processes such as that which

00:41:35.360 had three lots of the moderna covid 19 vaccine suspended in japan due to contaminants which included

00:41:43.200 stainless steel yep try injecting that i mean at least japan did their due diligence and suspended it

00:41:50.080 but it makes you wonder if this is happening elsewhere in the world and what about canada

00:41:54.800 back in march health canada went ahead with nearly two-thirds of all total astrazeneca imports coming

00:42:01.280 from a lab accused by the fda to have quality control issues the u.s fda didn't release any of the

00:42:08.880 vaccines made at this lab to the u.s market but a spokeswoman for the department of health canada is

00:42:15.600 quoted as saying all products in canada met authorized specifications before they were released to the

00:42:22.160 market right so anyway back to my interview for privacy of reasons that we are very familiar with

00:42:30.320 as everyone who so much as questions the widely accepted covid narrative gets ridiculed has their

00:42:36.880 livelihoods threatened and is generally on the receiving end of a witch hunt smear campaign my guest

00:42:43.520 didn't feel comfortable coming forward with their full identity and so i have granted anonymity for

00:42:50.080 the purpose of getting this information out to the canadian public without fear of reprisal check it out

00:42:58.080 i um went to work for um a subsection of health canada in which i reviewed um new drug

00:43:07.920 as submissions and compared them in order for uh price review provided scientific and expert opinion

00:43:16.880 to my advisory committee and we made decisions regarding pricing on drugs based on that and spent a fair

00:43:25.200 amount of time doing that work which gave me a lot of insight particularly on how pharmaceutical companies

00:43:32.880 market market and price drugs and as well as the kinds of um clinical trials that are run and why

00:43:41.840 which was very enlightening and um i left that and did some work in community hospitals again i am

00:43:49.120 now retired due to a medical issue now let's get right into this bombshell that was posted in the bmj

00:43:57.360 the british medical journal on november 2nd it highlights regulatory misconduct at the pfizer lab

00:44:03.920 in texas what do you make of this whistleblower's claims well i think it's very credible number one

00:44:10.640 that these claims on data integrity issues on um from this clinical research organization how clinical

00:44:19.120 trials are run they're very expensive and very complicated so oftentimes the manufacturer will contract

00:44:26.960 out the actual running of the trials on the trial site uh by contract research organizations who know

00:44:36.080 the patients and know the system that they're working in and they have to follow certain rules and

00:44:42.080 regulations in accordance with what's required by fda or health canada or the european union

00:44:49.520 and um these people are are experienced at doing that now having said that many of these clinical

00:44:56.160 research organizations are known to cut corners in the past and um and that there have been data

00:45:02.560 integrity issues reported from these organizations but in this case i was particularly struck by this

00:45:11.280 whistleblower who had had previous experience of 20 years who then showed up at the site in texas to help

00:45:18.160 run the the clinical trial within two weeks she was taking pictures and send of the gross uh

00:45:25.520 flagrant kind of problems that she saw which included stuff like the patients were um put in a hallway after

00:45:34.320 getting the vaccination and nobody was monitoring them so that you may miss um adverse drug reactions if

00:45:41.040 that's the case or they didn't follow up on patients complaints in a very uh adequate manner and really

00:45:49.760 importantly protocol deviations were not being reported so the patients are not following the

00:45:55.280 checklists that are put forward and that of course tries to keep data integrity um there were issues with

00:46:02.320 vaccine storage and mislabeled um laboratory specimens um etc one of the most concerning things for me

00:46:11.120 that this data um that was actually reported by the BMJ

00:46:14.480 was that laboratory confirmed symptomatic covid was the trial's endpoint and they missed uh the trial

00:46:25.360 missed 477 patients with suspected systematic uh symptomatic covid if that's the case it is quite

00:46:34.880 possible that we don't even have a randomized controlled trial because there may have been a few cases in

00:46:41.200 cases in those 477 patients that were missed and that would mean that the whole intake date integrity of

00:46:49.280 the entire trial has been um is compromised i wanted to bring up another issue and that was the blinding of the

00:46:57.920 trial um and the whistleblower in this report does talk about um the fact that the people's vaccinations

00:47:08.960 that were with that were drawn up were open for anyone to see whether they were in the placebo group or

00:47:16.880 whether they were in the active group in addition and this was noted from the very beginning of the trial

00:47:23.920 in addition the side effects you know the uh localized side effects in the arm the fever the achiness the um

00:47:32.480 you know nausea vomiting and muscle aches and pain were much much higher in the clinical trial

00:47:39.120 and so i think it would be obvious to most of the nurses that were in the trial who got the vaccine and who

00:47:46.000 did not um and what's concerning to me is that whether that was addressed by the regulators

00:47:53.040 that the blinding was not as clear as it could have been so these things can be addressed afterwards

00:48:01.040 through statistical analysis or through other um other issues um because it's not the first time these

00:48:07.920 kinds of things happen but these uh this was not discussed at all that i can find talk to me a little

00:48:14.880 bit about uh the the incidences of fever and i think we discussed like there was multiple instances of

00:48:21.440 grade four fevers and then no follow-up yes so let's talk about the grades so grades one two and three

00:48:28.640 and four grade one is mild two is mild moderate three is moderate a grade four fever is 41 degrees and

00:48:35.920 above um i don't know if anyone's experienced a fever of like 40 41 degrees in an adult that's pretty severe

00:48:43.840 they didn't have too many of them but there's no way no how that that that series of a fever

00:48:50.560 is very concerning and it shows that the vaccine was highly immunogenic that's likely due to those

00:48:56.960 lipid nanoparticles that are in there and that would of course break the blinding because you don't have

00:49:03.120 fevers of 41 on a placebo you just don't now i'm glad you brought up the nanolipid particles because

00:49:09.120 um as early as march 2021 that the bmga also reported through leaked pfizer documents

00:49:15.840 that mrna instability was being documented by regulators with manufacturing and quality concerns

00:49:23.920 and the mrna is is essentially wrapped in these nanolipid particle bubbles so can you elaborate on

00:49:29.920 why this may be of concern and of course how it could lead to poor quality product one of the big

00:49:37.040 things this has been a big concern for me from the very beginning is that these are complicated

00:49:42.560 complicated products from it takes about 50 000 steps and one of the big things was um i read

00:49:51.920 submissions and i read the submission from the european union which was the lead regulator for all the

00:49:59.680 bigger um regulators including health canada and the fda it went to them first

00:50:05.040 and in their report that they published at the end of december update in february there were five

00:50:12.320 specific obligations that pfizer had to meet on the actual manufacturing processes of which as of

00:50:20.640 october only one has been met they included stuff like the mrna the characterization of the mrna we had

00:50:28.480 issues that the mrna was truncated or short it wasn't the entire strand that was found in the

00:50:34.800 lipid particles we don't know if that the fidelity of the mrna that was made is reproducible or the

00:50:44.320 same in addition the lipid nanoparticles at least 25 percent of them didn't have any mrna in them at

00:50:52.000 all and then there were additional issues with regarding of the um production of the lipid nanoparticles

00:50:59.760 that there were two of the fats used that are very highly they're called zwitteronic they're very

00:51:07.600 very ionic and um toxic in large amounts we're giving very small amounts though but these two lipid

00:51:16.400 products had never been used in humans before and so normally under normal conditions we'd like to make

00:51:22.560 sure that we would study those lipids separately before we put them into a vaccine part of the issue here

00:51:29.440 about all of these is that we had no standard uh tolerance limits is what i would call that

00:51:37.920 for these kind of products this is the first one so for uh um another vaccine or for a stay a drug

00:51:46.080 product you would say that each tablet would have to contain between 90 to 110 percent of the labeled

00:51:53.760 amount um we didn't have that kind of standard for these products when they when they were being made

00:52:02.000 and so it was what was what was tolerated or what was put forward by the um manufacturer

00:52:12.640 so that there were a lot of issues regarding what is acceptable or what is not

00:52:18.320 and so i think um so the european union or the this um report from the eu had specified specific

00:52:26.080 obligations that were to be met and that would be ideal they have not yet been met whether that makes

00:52:32.640 a difference clinically or not was the big question and i would submit that it's possible that they do in

00:52:39.920 in two particular or in a couple of cases i think one is that as the national advisory committee on

00:52:46.560 immunization has stated if you receive the vaccine and have an allergic reaction you can receive the

00:52:54.160 second dose because the chances of you having an allergic reaction on the second dose is minimal

00:53:00.320 if not zero and you would ask yourself why that would be the case that it's is it a vaccine ingredient or

00:53:07.200 is something nothing else no one really knows and i would submit and other people would that it's

00:53:12.400 quite possible if you had issues with the actual manufacturing of the product that in some cases

00:53:18.800 you would have much higher levels of a allergic substance such as the pegylated lipids and in another

00:53:25.920 batch you may not have that same quantity which may explain the difference in allergic reactions that

00:53:31.360 needs to be tested of course but that's a potential possibility of what of an outcome of the

00:53:37.120 variability on these batch to batches that were were actually identified now just in closing do you

00:53:43.520 have a message for these regulators or people developing policy around these these injections let's be

00:53:51.200 careful let's repeat everything let's take our time and let's demand expertise and excellence in these

00:54:02.240 products they are being given to everybody and are being mandated and in that case we need to ensure that

00:54:10.800 they're safe and effective so many doctors nurses health professionals researchers scientists psychologists

00:54:19.120 epidemiologists virologists all the ologists they have all been sounding alarm bells that we need to slow

00:54:25.840 down and make sure we get this right let's heed that warning and take a step back and ask us ask ourselves if

00:54:33.840 the proper processes and checks and balances have been put in place to prevent tragic outcomes especially

00:54:42.000 as we see this rolled out in our pride and joy the future of our country our children if you want to come

00:54:50.240 forward with expertise or information but you don't want to risk the smear campaign and the witch hunt
