In March and April of 2020, the Public Health Agency of Canada was pushing for the public to wear surgical masks to protect themselves from SARS-causing SARS. But when it came to public health, there was no evidence that masks were even needed. So what happened? And why did the government push for them?

00:00:00.900 Oh, hey Rebels, bet you were expecting Ezra Levant, weren't you? 0.61
00:00:05.000 Because this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:07.060 However, I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed and I'm filling in for my boss today on the big show.
00:00:12.160 Now, today, I have exclusive access to information documents to show you.
00:00:19.120 They're from the Public Health Agency of Canada and they show the direct political meddling
00:00:26.400 from the Federal Health Minister's office who intervened to make sure that the Public
00:00:33.140 Health Agency of Canada was pushing for masking of the general public when the Public Health
00:00:39.300 Agency said it was completely unnecessary.
00:00:42.920 And in fact, they admit they had really no evidence to be doing this.
00:00:47.320 It was all political.
00:00:50.020 And this kind of explains all that flip-flopping that Theresa Tam did on masks way back in March
00:00:56.180 and April of 2020 now, doesn't it?
00:00:59.480 Then we're going to meet Rebels' newest reporter, Juan Mendoza-Diaz.
00:01:06.120 He is going to be based in Florida.
00:01:09.940 Right now, he's in Laredo, Texas.
00:01:11.880 And he just made a trip to the southern border to document the migrant crisis.
00:01:16.420 And what he captured was appalling.
00:01:21.260 And it is fueled by bad Democrat policy.
00:01:24.720 And it is an absolute humanitarian crisis that's already unfolding.
00:01:29.840 And it's going to get much, much worse.

00:02:36.680 Now, please, enjoy this free audio-only version of Ezra's show.
00:02:48.880 Tonight, shocking evidence in black and white that the Federal Health Minister's office
00:03:02.500 politically influenced the Public Health Agency of Canada to promote face masking.
00:03:08.900 Then, our newest rebel, Juan Mendoza-Diaz, on his trip to investigate the migrant crisis
00:03:14.440 on America's southern border.
00:03:16.440 It's April 28, 2022.
00:03:18.880 I'm Sheila Gunn-Reed, but you are watching The Ezra Levant Show.
00:03:22.360 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:03:28.220 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:03:32.300 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody
00:03:37.160 right to do so.
00:03:42.940 You know, nobody really seems to know where the six-foot rule came from, that one that
00:03:47.300 they used to stop the spread of COVID and you have to stand on stickers in the grocery
00:03:50.340 store, while largely the same thing also goes with masks.
00:03:54.160 It seems to be something somebody asked for once and then the TV doctors went all in.
00:03:59.500 Evidence be damned.
00:04:00.780 Mask mandates are all part of the political theatre that placates the TV-fed COVID hysteria
00:04:05.000 of a certain hypochondriac subsection of the Canadian population, and it makes politicians 0.99
00:04:10.000 and health bureaucrats who are making these rules seem like benevolent saviours taking steps
00:04:14.760 to save us all.
00:04:15.860 But that's not just my well-formed theory after watching, oh, about two years of a patchwork
00:04:20.900 quilt of COVID rules where mask mandate regions fared roughly the same as saner regions, which
00:04:26.560 didn't force the public into paper and cloth face regalia.
00:04:30.340 The Ontario government knew this too.
00:04:32.560 As this little-known analysis the government did on an earlier Danish study admits, look at
00:04:37.460 this, the authors concluded that recommendations to wear surgical masks to supplement other public
00:04:42.740 health measures did not significantly reduce the SARS-CoV-2 infection rate among wearers
00:04:48.600 by more than 50% in a community with a modest 2% infection rate beyond other public health
00:04:54.200 measures.
00:04:54.720 So that's 50% of 2%, just to be clear.
00:04:58.900 There's also this damning line in there.
00:05:01.000 Face masks likely offer little to no protection to the average wearer.
00:05:05.820 You see, the people imposing the masks on us, they knew that too.
00:05:08.500 And I can show you that in today's exclusive access to information documents from the Public
00:05:13.620 Health Agency of Canada from April 2020, right as all that masking hysteria set in.
00:05:19.280 These sorts of investigations are made possible through your support at our special website,
00:05:23.960 rebelinvestigates.com.
00:05:25.360 So thank you to all of you who make this important work possible.
00:05:28.720 Now, the fact that evidence never supported masking and the Public Health Agency knew it from
00:05:33.740 the very beginning certainly explains all the flip-flopping done by Dr. Teresa Tam, the chief
00:05:38.520 medical officer of health for the entire country and the one person tasked with making Canada
00:05:43.640 resilient to a pandemic.
00:05:45.180 She first went from no masks because you people just don't know how to use them on March 28th,
00:05:50.760 2022, wear a mask if you're sick, but only if you're sick just three days later.
00:05:55.640 Putting a mask on an asymptomatic person is not beneficial, obviously, if you're not infected.
00:06:03.040 If you have close contact of a case and under certain circumstances, especially you'll also
00:06:10.520 be in self-isolation, by the way, if you're close contact of a case and you also need to
00:06:16.100 move for any essential reason.
00:06:18.120 That's perhaps another situation.
00:06:21.380 What we worry about is actually the potential negative aspects of wearing masks.
00:06:28.860 To wear a mask all the time, to wear a mask during coitus, remember that, to you better wear
00:06:36.500 a triple ply surgical mask if you want to breathe the air at all, to never take a mask off and get
00:06:42.600 your 10th booster, no matter what anybody tells you to do.
00:06:46.660 Anyway, let's get into these exclusive documents.
00:06:49.600 Page one confirms the Minister of Health's office is directly involved in writing the
00:06:55.320 masking rules.
00:06:56.240 It's political.
00:06:57.020 Look at this.
00:06:57.500 Based on discussion this morning and comments received from the Minister's office, I have
00:07:01.580 modified the document to make clear the community setting elements and the workplace relevant
00:07:06.760 elements.
00:07:07.760 I don't think any content was removed, although some bits have been reworded, of course, over
00:07:12.700 the past several versions with the Minister's office.
00:07:15.420 Page 74, we can see the Public Health Agency just copying UK advice just because.
00:07:21.640 We took a final review and added in language from UK references shared by Marina on masks
00:07:27.240 that Barb is also supportive of using.
00:07:29.420 Ah, science.
00:07:30.940 Both commercially available and homemade cloth masks and medical masks can play a role.
00:07:35.640 That's from the UK doc.
00:07:37.020 Face masks, including homemade cloth masks, can reduce viral transmission.
00:07:40.840 Benefits of use increase where risk exposure is high and are marginal where it is low.
00:07:46.720 That's from the UK doc.
00:07:48.320 They aren't doing their own research, you see.
00:07:51.200 We're paying these people a lot of money to just follow the leader while they were badgering
00:07:55.760 us with the mantra of follow the science.
00:07:58.860 Page 80 and 81, we see an email from Health Minister Patty Hajduz, Chief of Staff, further
00:08:04.020 showing the political involvement in creating masking rules.
00:08:07.500 Except, of course, the document is heavily redacted.
00:08:10.620 Page 90 is really the smoking gun in writing.
00:08:13.880 Even they know there is little evidence that masks work, but they want them, so they just
00:08:18.780 impose them.
00:08:20.280 Look at this.
00:08:21.020 Evidence for non-medical masks is limited in quantity and quality.
00:08:25.940 On page 91, they acknowledge masking kids is useless too.
00:08:29.320 Regardless of mask type, children were less well protected.
00:08:33.620 And that the benefits of cloth masks were insignificant against airborne viruses.
00:08:39.060 They actually use the word marginal here.
00:08:41.580 Page 94, it's an email exchange with Dr. Theresa Tam.
00:08:45.640 The Public Health Agency of Canada does not want to provide masking guidance, but is being
00:08:50.660 pushed for it by the government.
00:08:53.280 The first email to Tam from a public health bureaucrat.
00:08:57.280 Look at this.
00:08:58.320 Need to figure out if we are going to do something more than what's on our and Health Canada's
00:09:03.940 website at this point.
00:09:04.900 There is a real appetite for us to do so to provide clarity, not just to the general
00:09:10.800 public, but also for essential workers.
00:09:13.460 And the reply from Theresa Tam.
00:09:15.840 We have no plans on providing guidance to the questions below.
00:09:19.780 But it looks like Government of Canada and other government departments want us to provide
00:09:25.900 further guidance for certain settings, for example, airport or federal employees who are
00:09:31.800 unable to physically distance from others for a brief time.
00:09:35.880 We also know that there is a discussion on mask use for essential service workers, for example,
00:09:42.400 truckers.
00:09:43.060 But in the end, Tam did capitulate to political pressure, didn't she?
00:09:46.820 You see, Tam is a politician at this point, not a health officer.
00:09:51.100 There was no science involved here.
00:09:52.920 In fact, she earlier admitted there was very little evidence for masking the general public,
00:09:57.340 but her political masters wanted it. 0.97
00:09:59.720 So she did what was best for them, the politicians and not the public for whom she is supposed to
00:10:05.800 work.
00:10:06.800 Will we ever truly know the extent of how mishandled and political the pandemic was?
00:10:12.000 I'm not sure, but you know I'm going to try.
00:10:14.360 We can't count on liberal appointed friendly judges to get to the bottom of anything.
00:10:18.800 We're going to have to dig this up for ourselves.
00:10:21.180 Now, I'm going to keep filing for access to information, but I need your help to do it.
00:10:25.800 We rely on the support of the Canadian public to get this work done.
00:10:29.320 So if you'd like to offset our investigation costs, please visit rebelinvestigates.com and
00:10:35.280 the relevant documents I receive back, I'll be sure to publish them because they're your
00:10:39.780 documents too.
00:10:40.820 Stay with us.
00:10:43.240 More up next after the break.
00:10:52.780 As Canadians working at a Canadian network, we focus a lot on the border crisis unfolding
00:10:59.000 here in Canada, particularly at Quebec's Roxham Road.
00:11:03.460 But the migrants illegally crossing into Canada at Roxham Road, they aren't originating in
00:11:09.540 the United States.
00:11:10.460 In fact, they're using the United States as a bit of a pass through before they get to 0.96
00:11:14.820 Canada.
00:11:16.300 And so to deal with the crisis where it's starting and to report on some of the major
00:11:21.200 issues in the southern states, in Texas and in Florida, we've elicited a brand new reporter.
00:11:26.760 We've got Juan Mendoza-Diaz, and he's our new reporter based in Florida, and he just came
00:11:34.680 back from Texas.
00:11:37.040 Juan, tell us a little bit about your trip to the border.
00:11:41.020 As a Canadian, it was really shocking to see just the ecological carnage unfolding at
00:11:47.180 the border.
00:11:47.760 I mean, where is the Sierra Club or Greenpeace or the environmentalists on this?
00:11:51.660 We know they don't care about people, but maybe they could care about the land for a
00:11:55.160 second.
00:11:56.540 Well, I mean, a lot of the clothes that get left off there or items that just get littered,
00:12:03.480 that's nothing new around the southern border since the border crisis started.
00:12:07.520 I mean, that's just an Eagle Pass, one of the main crossing points that we've seen people
00:12:11.680 cross illegally.
00:12:12.740 I've been doing work covering the whole southern border from the Yuma sector to the Rio sector,
00:12:18.400 which is where Eagle Pass is located, to the RGB sector.
00:12:21.280 And you'll see similar stuff throughout the southern border where there's all these signs
00:12:25.560 of people crossing illegally, and they'll drop off their wet clothes.
00:12:29.760 And I mean, they just come in massive numbers that, I mean, it just creates an ecological disaster,
00:12:36.660 too, in that area.
00:12:37.540 Now, an Eagle Pass, there was a recent amount of crossings that have actually gone up there.
00:12:45.260 And Houseman already leader Kevin McCarthy actually hosted a congressional delegation
00:12:51.240 where many members of Congress in the United States went in to get more information from
00:12:56.660 U.S. Border Patrol about how just the area is being impacted there because of the border
00:13:01.720 crisis that has started since the Biden administration took office and essentially
00:13:07.100 implemented their open borders policies, welcoming people or encouraging people to go through 0.99
00:13:13.220 the border illegally.
00:13:14.660 Now, I should go back a little.
00:13:17.100 I said you're Florida-based.
00:13:18.720 You will be Florida-based.
00:13:20.140 Right now, you're in Laredo, Texas, although you say it a little bit more fun than I do.
00:13:24.840 So, tell me about the impact of illegal border crossing on these small Texas communities.
00:13:34.560 You even spoke to some locals in Eagle Pass.
00:13:38.240 Well, their main concern is just that, I mean, with all this, with all the increased amounts
00:13:45.060 of illegal border crossings that's happening, the main problem is that they're concerned that
00:13:50.000 the cartels are being empowered.
00:13:51.800 I mean, human trafficking now is the most profitable thing that organized crime groups are having
00:13:58.040 here since they can make millions.
00:14:00.840 I mean, they're making about $15 to $16 million a day alone on human trafficking.
00:14:07.060 And, I mean, a lot of that ends up just a lot of people that come into the United States,
00:14:11.920 a lot of horrible things happen to them as they cross illegally. 0.98
00:14:14.700 They get raped by these human smugglers. 0.93
00:14:17.140 They get killed, they get extorted, and pretty much held hostage in a stash house while the 0.99
00:14:24.520 human smugglers are trying to extort the family to pay more money or else they're going to kill
00:14:28.460 them.
00:14:30.380 So, my reporting, I mean, it's just shown that a lot of the people have been concerned because
00:14:35.300 it can result in the increased crime or the increased power of organized crime groups that
00:14:41.380 have been in the United States already for some time.
00:14:44.140 But since the Biden administration took office, they've just been having a field day and just
00:14:48.480 making a lot of money off of this just humanitarian crisis that has been started by President Biden's
00:14:55.140 rhetoric.
00:14:57.100 You know, you really did some great work from Eagle Pass.
00:14:59.800 You spoke to Marjorie Taylor Greene, a U.S. 0.95
00:15:04.020 Congresswoman who said that Joe Biden is the cartel's best friend.
00:15:09.760 And it's pretty clear.
00:15:11.080 There's, I mean, there's, you were encountering people crossing right there, right in front
00:15:17.080 of you.
00:15:17.560 No fear, just crossing.
00:15:19.860 I mean, it's akin to something we see at the Canadian border.
00:15:25.580 And many of those people do ultimately end up at the Canadian border.
00:15:29.500 And I think that's where the Canadian interest in this story is.
00:15:31.780 But it's also a human interest story in that I think an open border, I'm not coining this
00:15:38.400 phrase, I've heard somebody say it, an open border is an inhumane border because it gives
00:15:43.500 the cartels the market they need.
00:15:46.740 And it's, you know, again, I ask where the Sierra Club is, but where are the feminists 1.00
00:15:52.200 when we see that women are being sold into sex trafficking by the cartels and being trafficked
00:15:58.980 into the country?
00:15:59.980 And you don't have a feminist anywhere to be seen advocating for these underprivileged 1.00
00:16:05.760 women. 0.81
00:16:06.020 And usually they can't shut up about that.
00:16:09.180 Well, yeah.
00:16:10.040 And I mean, like I say, one of the biggest crimes I've seen that's happened with people
00:16:15.500 crossing illegally is that a lot of the women, they get raped. 0.95
00:16:18.060 And actually, these human smugglers, what they tend to do on lots of occasions that I've
00:16:24.060 gotten photographs from from Border Patrol units that they show us that they tend to find 0.58
00:16:31.000 what they call rape trees, which is what the cartel, they rape these women and then they 0.99
00:16:35.360 hang their undergarments almost like a sick form of trophy for the sexual crimes that they 0.99
00:16:41.160 did. 0.99
00:16:41.480 Oh, it's just it sickens me.
00:16:45.380 But there's also another level here where this the open border is helping fuel the drug crisis
00:16:52.900 and the overdose crisis in communities.
00:16:55.760 I know that I think it was a Texas border guard.
00:17:01.240 He drowned, thinking he was rescuing migrants. 0.53
00:17:05.500 But as it turns out, the two people he drowned, gave his life going into the river to save were
00:17:11.760 drug traffickers.
00:17:13.160 And those drugs are intended to poison people in American communities.
00:17:18.160 Yeah.
00:17:18.460 I mean, like I said, it's not just the increase of illegal crossings from human trafficking
00:17:23.200 that's being hit with the country right now.
00:17:26.040 I mean, it's also just narcotics.
00:17:27.540 Like you said, there's record high levels of all kinds of narcotics being trafficked through
00:17:32.240 the U.S. border, especially fentanyl, which is being moved.
00:17:35.420 And fentanyl has been one of the biggest killers for people in the United States.
00:17:39.680 There's a fentanyl epidemic happening here in this country.
00:17:43.660 Well, and unfortunately, I think it's your work and your reporting from the border.
00:17:49.280 You're going to have to do a lot of it because as the Democrats wrestle with Title 42, repealing
00:17:54.500 the law that basically prohibits people from coming into the country if they may pose a risk
00:18:00.480 to the country because of a communicable disease, the Democrats are currently wrestling with
00:18:05.320 repealing that.
00:18:06.060 And that is just going to cause a flood of people coming across the border because that
00:18:10.040 really seems to be the only thing that's holding so many of them back.
00:18:13.880 Exactly.
00:18:14.540 I mean, luckily, the federal court struck down the administration's order to repeal Title 42
00:18:21.800 on May 23rd.
00:18:23.260 And I was talking with CBP units and even NGOs that were concerned that they would be overwhelmed
00:18:29.300 once Title 42 would be repealed because they've already been seeing record numbers.
00:18:33.920 Fiscal year 2022, there's already been over a million encounters of illegal migrants at the
00:18:40.640 southern border.
00:18:42.000 And it's April.
00:18:42.540 Yeah, and I mean, their fiscal year, it goes all the way to September 30th.
00:18:48.940 And I mean, they're thinking it's going to surpass last year's, last fiscal year's amount
00:18:54.100 of crossings.
00:18:54.680 And last year's was a record high.
00:18:56.820 And we're not even halfway through the year and it's already over a million.
00:19:01.460 I just, it makes me concerned for American communities because these people end up somewhere 0.94
00:19:08.180 in American communities.
00:19:09.840 And are they equipped to deal with it?
00:19:11.620 I don't think so.
00:19:13.160 Juan, tell us where people can support your work because I think your work is so important
00:19:19.080 and it does have implications for Canadians, but also for just normal Americans.
00:19:24.120 All of this impacts their communities, be it through human trafficking, sex trafficking,
00:19:28.800 narcotics coming across the border, or the expectation that migrants have to be resettled
00:19:34.500 and communities don't have the resources to deal with Biden's bad decisions.
00:19:38.800 Tell us how we can support your work.
00:19:40.560 Well, definitely, you guys can support me through going through Rebel Media.
00:19:46.520 And as well, if you guys want to get more, more looks at what my current updates with the
00:19:51.300 border situation is when I'm on the ground, you can check me out on Instagram and Twitter
00:19:55.400 at JuanMoreNews.
00:19:56.580 I usually provide quick updates on my Twitter there.
00:20:00.340 And I also post videos once I have all the reports done there as well on Instagram.
00:20:06.220 And of course, like I said, you can go to rebelbordereports.com to be able to help us finance these trips.
00:20:13.300 Well, Juan, I appreciate your work there.
00:20:16.260 I know that, you know, you have some experience doing this.
00:20:19.540 But boy, when you went to the border, you hit the ground running.
00:20:22.460 You were talking to congressmen.
00:20:24.440 You were catching migrants as they crossed the border.
00:20:26.920 I mean, there's just so much news there.
00:20:28.480 And I think you're going to be a very busy guy in the very near future.
00:20:32.360 Thanks for coming on the show.
00:20:34.160 Thank you, Sheila.
00:20:35.080 I can't wait to see what Juan does next.
00:20:37.380 Stay with us.
00:20:38.080 Your letters up next after the break.
00:20:49.180 You know, I can't wait to see what Juan does next.
00:20:51.420 And I think there's just so much news coming out of Texas with the border crisis
00:20:56.760 and with Governor Abbott shipping the migrants up to Democrat-run cities.
00:21:03.860 And in Florida, with Governor Ron DeSantis being the leading warrior in the culture war,
00:21:10.820 but also I think he's sort of the leader of the conservative movement,
00:21:15.360 not just in the United States, but I think kind of in the free world.
00:21:19.920 And I know that Juan is probably going to have a very good problem
00:21:23.600 in that he will probably wake up every single day not wondering,
00:21:28.900 whoa, what am I going to do today?
00:21:30.120 But how do I get to all the things that I want to do today?
00:21:33.680 Because there's just so much news coming out of the southern states.
00:21:38.340 And I know he's going to do a great job covering it.
00:21:40.460 If you'd like to see and support Juan's work from the border,
00:21:44.540 please visit rebelborderreports.com.
00:21:48.140 Now, this is a part of the show where Ezra reads his hate mail, fan mail, letters, queries, comments.
00:21:54.740 So I will do that too, since I'm filling in and it's his show.
00:21:59.280 These comments or letters are not directed at me and they do not reflect the opinions of your usual host.
00:22:06.160 This is just me.
00:22:06.960 So I'll read a few of them and then wrap up the show.
00:22:10.000 So the first letter is from Paul McCullough, who says,
00:22:13.160 I don't trust any news media company that takes government handouts.
00:22:16.600 Anything they say or print is tainted.
00:22:19.100 Yeah.
00:22:19.980 I mean, how could you trust CBC's reporting of Justin Trudeau
00:22:25.600 when they live and die on Justin Trudeau's affections for them?
00:22:31.500 Likewise with the mainstream media.
00:22:33.140 If he cuts the subsidies to them, then they have to experience layoffs.
00:22:40.140 And so naturally, people are going to say nice things about the prime minister
00:22:43.460 because he's their boss at the end of the day.
00:22:47.980 Now, luckily here at Rebel News, we are fiercely independent.
00:22:51.580 We are really beholden to no one except the people who help us pay the bills
00:22:56.100 and help fund our journalism.
00:22:57.840 And we know when you are interested in a story because we immediately hear from you,
00:23:04.060 unlike the mainstream media who, you know, they're happy to take your money,
00:23:07.460 but all their comments sections are closed.
00:23:10.260 Now, we also take tweets sometimes and read those too.
00:23:15.740 So these are replies to Ezra's tweets.
00:23:18.280 I don't even know what tweets you're replying to,
00:23:20.600 but producer Olivia assures me that this is a great comment.
00:23:24.320 And Shanna Millett replies that the virus was here in the fall of 2019.
00:23:31.180 I had the symptoms, loss of taste and smell, couldn't concentrate, and no energy.
00:23:35.600 Everyone in my area was sick with something.
00:23:38.280 The doctor said it was a virus that mimicked as an allergy.
00:23:43.420 You know, there is some evidence to the fact that the coronavirus was in North America
00:23:49.120 far sooner than officially determined.
00:23:54.820 But I think there's another issue at play here.
00:23:58.300 You're just guessing about whether or not you had the coronavirus.
00:24:01.500 And I know that at least here in Alberta, I don't know what it's like in the other provinces.
00:24:06.060 You will have to continue guessing unless you are able to pay out of pocket
00:24:10.700 for a readily available antibody test.
00:24:13.580 And I did that for a time until I was able to take a T-cell test to see if I was naturally immune.
00:24:22.160 And I think that's a great shame.
00:24:25.420 But I think there's a reason for that.
00:24:27.220 The government doesn't want you to know if you're naturally immune to the virus
00:24:31.880 because they just want you to get a vaccine.
00:24:35.020 That's the only way they've decided that we were to ever get out of the pandemic.
00:24:41.740 Whether or not you needed that vaccine was not a concern.
00:24:45.560 And I know for myself, I think for the antibody testing, it was close to $200.
00:24:50.680 And the T-cell testing, that was, I think it was approaching $400 to get that testing.
00:24:57.660 And again, I say this is readily available.
00:24:59.860 But if you try to get that test in Alberta, the government will block your doctor from ordering it.
00:25:04.500 And make sure the lab never does it.
00:25:06.960 It's a real shame.
00:25:09.280 Jay Stocker, 808, responds to Ezra's tweet.
00:25:13.520 My kids refuse to take off their masks at school.
00:25:17.880 I asked them why, assuming it was out of fear of COVID-19.
00:25:21.420 Both answered succinctly, I just don't want people to see my face.
00:25:27.040 Masking up now has become a result of social and identity anxiety
00:25:31.680 brought on by the years-long mandates.
00:25:35.920 You know, that's such a terrible shame.
00:25:38.880 There's a whole subsection of children who are just so scared
00:25:43.300 by the things their teachers and the TV tell them,
00:25:46.600 that they're scared to take off their masks,
00:25:48.240 even though they don't have to wear them anymore.
00:25:49.920 And there are other ones who have spent two full years of their formative years
00:25:55.960 as forced agoraphobics, scared of crowds, scared of human contact,
00:26:02.980 and preventing people from seeing their faces.
00:26:05.700 And it is my great worry that the damage done to a generation of youth may never be healed.
00:26:12.080 And, you know, thankfully there were parents out there
00:26:16.100 who did their best to advocate for their kids,
00:26:18.580 but so many just went along because it was the path of least resistance.
00:26:24.140 And I'm just, I'm so worried.
00:26:26.840 On that dark note, that's the show for tonight.
00:26:30.260 Thank you so much for allowing me to fill in.
00:26:32.700 Thank you to everybody in the office who will ultimately put together
00:26:37.020 all the random video files.
00:26:38.360 I plan to send them into a watchable show for our viewers and subscribers at home.
00:26:44.960 I think it'll be Ezra back in the chair tomorrow.
00:26:48.820 And as Ezra says, I think I'll use his tagline today,
00:26:52.300 keep fighting for freedom.
00:26:56.180 Tamera Ugolini here with Rebel News,
00:26:58.380 pointing out the doomsday generators throughout Canada's legacy media parties.
00:27:03.500 They have shared this outlandish new study from Global News to the National Post to CTV News
00:27:11.200 and the Globe and Mail.
00:27:12.460 And I think you get the picture.
00:27:14.580 This study was headline news on April 25th,
00:27:18.400 that the unvaccinated are apparently the ones responsible 0.99
00:27:22.400 for spreading COVID infection among the vaccinated.
00:27:26.620 It's basically how you tell people that their vaccines don't work
00:27:29.820 without outright telling them that their vaccines don't work.
00:27:33.360 The main proponents of this hogwash is none other than
00:27:36.700 Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Toronto's
00:27:40.540 Dalai Lana School of Public Health, David Fissman.
00:27:44.240 He is a now resigned member of the Ontario Science Table,
00:27:48.300 that's the OST,
00:27:49.340 who has declared conflicts of interest that came as ahead
00:27:52.900 as early as January 2021 when he was found to be lobbying the government
00:27:57.920 against school reopenings
00:27:59.840 and simultaneously being paid by a massive teachers union,
00:28:03.700 the Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario.
00:28:07.200 A few months later, he resigned from his position at the OST
00:28:11.080 as his unnecessarily alarming model predictions became increasingly ignored
00:28:16.300 as they were repeatedly incorrect.
00:28:19.020 Prior to his resignation,
00:28:20.380 some of his declared conflicts of interest with the OST included
00:28:24.480 that he received direct funding from Pfizer, AstraZeneca,
00:28:28.260 the Ontario Nurses Association, etc.
00:28:31.220 A quick recap into Fissman,
00:28:33.680 in May of 2020,
00:28:35.040 the Globe and Mail reported a direct quote from him
00:28:37.620 that he hadn't hugged his kids since mid-March.
00:28:42.160 Denying your children physical contact for over two months
00:28:45.800 is basically a recipe for sociopathic behaviour.
00:28:48.880 He contributes to more COVID collectivism under this direct quote
00:28:55.240 that the conclusion is that public health is something you have to do collectively.
00:28:59.660 He's part of the COVID zero dogmatists,
00:29:04.240 a theory that was never scientifically possible,
00:29:06.980 as evidenced by his fanatical tweets,
00:29:10.260 such as this one a mere year ago,
00:29:12.360 where he calls on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
00:29:15.720 and then Minister of Health Paddy Hadju
00:29:17.660 to pursue COVID zero at a national level.
00:29:22.220 That link, the petition,
00:29:24.240 called for an explicit goal of COVID elimination
00:29:26.920 as though draconian measures could completely eradicate
00:29:30.900 a seasonal respiratory virus.
00:29:33.500 COVID zero extremists advocated for the devastation
00:29:36.360 that we now know as lockdowns,
00:29:39.460 forced supervised isolation,
00:29:42.560 quarantine,
00:29:43.520 contact tracing,
00:29:44.920 and unscientific testing.
00:29:46.620 And one of the worst pandemic responses,
00:29:49.580 school closures.
00:29:51.200 So you get the picture
00:29:52.480 as to who David Fistman
00:29:55.000 and what kind of person that this is
00:29:57.340 that drives this wedge
00:29:58.780 between Canadians making medical choices for themselves.
00:30:01.560 This study, again, authored by David Fistman
00:30:05.220 and amplified by mainstreamists,
00:30:07.980 was published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal,
00:30:11.200 also known as CMAJ,
00:30:13.540 titled Population Mixing Between Vaccinated
00:30:16.320 and Unvaccinated Subpopulations
00:30:18.220 on Infectious Disease Dynamics
00:30:20.300 Implications for SARS-CoV-2 Transmission.
00:30:24.480 The study sought to explore the impact of mixing
00:30:28.980 of unvaccinated and vaccinated populations
00:30:31.180 on risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection
00:30:33.260 among vaccinated people.
00:30:35.260 So basically, they developed a hypothesis
00:30:37.940 and then developed a computer model to prove it.
00:30:41.700 Under methods,
00:30:42.960 you can see that they constructed
00:30:44.640 a simple compartmental model
00:30:46.920 and simulated a spectrum of patterns.
00:30:50.980 So this is all assumption-based
00:30:52.780 and is basically just a big pretend play simulation
00:30:55.520 being espoused as hard data.
00:30:58.400 It's not even a study.
00:30:59.660 It's a modeling prediction 0.95
00:31:01.280 and it is junk science 0.96
00:31:03.220 based on the lowest level of evidence 0.97
00:31:06.200 as per the hierarchy of evidence.
00:31:10.020 And these people seem to be doing just fine.
00:31:12.700 That is, if you look at the real-world,
00:31:15.420 real-time data coming out
00:31:17.420 instead of this subjective fantasy model.
00:31:19.760 If you look at the data out of Ontario,
00:31:22.520 those receiving, therefore, COVID injection
00:31:24.440 are dying at a greater rate than the unvaccinated
00:31:26.800 when population is adjusted for per 100,000 people.
00:31:31.240 This comes, yes, from an anonymous Twitter account,
00:31:34.200 but he sources all of his work
00:31:35.700 directly from Ontario Public Health data
00:31:38.500 using these links.
00:31:40.460 The first is the surveillance report on vaccine uptake
00:31:43.360 and the second are confirmed cases of COVID-19
00:31:46.700 following vaccination report.
00:31:49.100 It's important here to note that,
00:31:51.140 for instance, on page four of that second report,
00:31:54.640 unvaccinated are defined as
00:31:56.220 those that receive the first dose of a two-dose series
00:31:59.360 within zero to 13 days of their onset
00:32:02.600 and are not yet protected from vaccination.
00:32:06.020 So if you are within 13 days of your first dose
00:32:10.440 and hospitalized and or die, 0.82
00:32:13.140 then you're marked as unvaccinated.
00:32:16.300 Isn't that an interesting way
00:32:18.100 to potentially tamper with the data?
00:32:21.500 It's as though Fisman believes that the green line,
00:32:24.980 you know, those who have received
00:32:26.360 a remarkable three COVID injections,
00:32:30.540 that green line is apparently caused by the purple line,
00:32:34.080 those not fully vaccinated,
00:32:37.040 i.e. the unvaccinated,
00:32:38.500 and those within 13 days of their first dose.
00:32:44.000 So why is the media continuing to amplify
00:32:47.000 this dangerous rhetoric?
00:32:48.940 I guess it's no surprise given the front page
00:32:51.660 of the Toronto Star in August 2021
00:32:53.780 when they published this disgusting piece of print
00:32:57.280 and a few months later tried to say
00:32:59.420 that it's the unvaccinated 0.98
00:33:00.960 who are abusive, hateful, and obnoxious. 0.99
00:33:04.080 Yeah, I bet. 0.89
00:33:05.900 There's enough data now
00:33:07.300 to do a proper scientific research
00:33:09.260 and meet that highest level of evidence,
00:33:12.060 a systemic review.
00:33:13.540 It's time to ignore these fraudulent science people
00:33:17.620 and ignore their faulty modeling predictions
00:33:21.040 by Fisman et al,
00:33:23.040 and push for a proper systemic review
00:33:26.180 of the evidence and the data.
00:33:28.680 For Rebel News, I'm Tamara Yagolini.
00:33:30.940 Thank you.
00:33:30.980 Thank you.
00:33:32.080 Thank you.
