Rachel Gilmore, Global News reporter and TikTok video maker, is back with yet another conspiracy theory about the current outbreak of the Coovid19 pandemic, and it's even worse than the last time she tried to make sense of it.


Transcript

00:00:00.120 Ahoy TNT viewers, because I'm a masochist and a sadist, I'm going to try and subject everyone today to another Rachel Gilmore TikTok video.
00:00:08.780 If you don't know who Rachel Gilmore is, I am jealous of you, but Rachel Gilmore is a terrible global news reporter and TikTok video maker apparently,
00:00:18.220 and her content is probably the clunkiest, sloppiest propaganda I've ever seen.
00:00:23.660 So I want you guys to sit back and just view another video by Rachel Gilmore, because I think it's so reflective of how bad the media is today.
00:00:31.620 And here's another one about the COVID-19 pandemic, which she and Global News wants you to be still very, very afraid of.
00:00:40.780 We're all tired of this virus and tired of the pandemic, but the virus is not tired of us.
00:00:47.220 I keep hearing this hacky line, like, we might want to be done with COVID, but COVID's not done with us.
00:00:52.260 Like, no, it is decisively done.
00:00:54.960 The pandemic pretty much ended more than like a year and a half ago.
00:00:57.960 And just because people can get infected and because there was some residual risk, does that not mean that we're in a crisis?
00:01:04.540 Like, based on how much of a non-issue COVID is these days, she would have to make TikTok videos every single day about the common cold and the flu,
00:01:13.220 because those things are as dangerous as COVID is currently.
00:01:17.000 That was a quote from the head of the World Health Organization today.
00:01:20.200 Cool. I don't care what the weird communist who has no medical training, who covered up Ebola outbreaks in his home country of Ethiopia thinks.
00:01:28.380 When he told reporters that in the last week alone, 15,000 people died from the virus globally.
00:01:35.620 Here's what you need to know.
00:01:37.000 Now, I haven't even watched this entire video, but I'm pretty confident, like that previous clip,
00:01:42.740 the rest of this video is just going to be her misattributing deaths to COVID,
00:01:47.660 when really that all the statistics she's citing do is just cite people who died who happened to be infected with COVID.
00:01:54.080 Reported COVID-19 deaths from around the world have increased by 35% over the last four weeks.
00:02:01.360 That's according to the WHO.
00:02:03.200 While cases are down in Canada, the virus is still very much here too.
00:02:07.880 In fact, 263 people died from COVID-19 from the week of July 31st to August 6th.
00:02:15.080 And see, it's exactly what I thought.
00:02:16.880 She's just citing Canadian COVID-19 statistics, which are incredibly inaccurate,
00:02:20.700 and they just document how many people passed away who happened to be infected with COVID-19.
00:02:25.540 It's not counting the amount of people who were perfectly healthy and then perished because of COVID.
00:02:30.580 It's citing people who were in hospital, had pneumonia, which was the thing that was killing them,
00:02:35.060 and then they also happened to have COVID when they did die because their immune systems were so low
00:02:39.320 they were going to get three or four other viruses before they passed away.
00:02:43.100 I would just also like to note the fact that is she trying to deny the efficacy of vaccines herself here?
00:02:50.080 Because everyone who's wanted to get a vaccine, especially older Canadians,
00:02:54.740 are double, triple, and quadruple vaccinated.
00:02:57.320 So if people are dying, is she saying that the vaccines don't work?
00:03:00.540 Or is she going to do some sort of conspiratorial claim that only unvaccinated people make up those 200 deaths?
00:03:07.060 Now, I'm not even personally making any arguments about vaccine efficacy.
00:03:10.320 I could kind of care less.
00:03:11.320 But it just shows her how one-dimensional her argument and coverage is when she's not even considering
00:03:17.480 if these people who are dying, quote-unquote, of COVID, are dying of something else who just happen to be infected by COVID.
00:03:24.820 According to Health Canada.
00:03:27.380 And with colder weather approaching, the WHO says transmission and hospitalization risks are going to keep going up.
00:03:33.300 But the head of the WHO says we're not helpless in the face of climbing cases.
00:03:37.260 You can get vaccinated, get boosted, and follow restrictions, he said.
00:03:40.140 Wow. This is just distilled fake news.
00:03:43.160 I don't think I've heard for over a year anyone in the legacy media
00:03:46.260 trying to claim that getting vaccinated just stops you from getting COVID-19.
00:03:50.780 But I guess Rachel Gilmore, Global News, and I guess communist Ebola man
00:03:55.260 think that this is still a relevant talking point.
00:03:58.280 It's just not correct.
00:04:00.120 Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden, many other famous people who are known to be triple and quadruple vaccinated
00:04:05.840 are on their second and third infections with COVID-19.
00:04:09.140 It clearly doesn't stop people from being infected.
00:04:12.840 Yet I guess Rachel Gilmore hasn't been getting her science updates
00:04:15.980 and she's just sitting around still pushing these 2021 talking points.
00:04:19.780 It's completely embarrassing.
00:04:22.340 Learning to live with COVID-19, he said, doesn't mean we pretend it's not there.
00:04:25.960 It means we use the tools we have to protect ourselves and others.
00:04:28.640 Man, it must be amazing working for the legacy media and knowing that you can put out content
00:04:33.380 this bad, just recycling talking points from 2020 and 2021, when we're clearly not being
00:04:39.980 deeply affected by COVID-19 anymore, and you're still going to get promoted by Global News and
00:04:44.800 paid well.
00:04:46.020 It doesn't shock me that Rachel Gilmore doesn't even put out that much content these days,
00:04:49.480 and mostly just focuses on having stupid feuds with idiots like Jeremy McKenzie on Twitter.
00:04:56.440 Well, that's it for me today.
