00:00:00.000 there's been a lot of uh shenanigans during the pandemic and a lot of fraud and uh and i've been
00:00:06.160 fighting this since day one but basically um i i came across well everybody came across an
00:00:15.040 overtly fraudulent uh piece of research that targeted um unvaccinated individuals and
00:00:21.280 scapegoated them and uh basically i knew right then and there i had to do my best to take it down
00:00:29.280 so basically my book dispels the pandemic of the unvaccinated narrative it shows that it's purely
00:00:36.960 political and that it was propped up by fraudulent science and it focuses on a particular case of
00:00:43.360 scientific fraud that was committed by a university of toronto professors the main author of the of the
00:00:52.800 scientific research was david fisman he has basically been canada's front man for pandemic
00:01:00.240 modeling he is a tenured professor at the university of toronto he's also a physician
00:01:07.520 and he has advised all levels of government from municipal to provincial to federal during the
00:01:12.720 pandemic and uh basically what happened with their study was that um when the pandemic when it was
00:01:23.200 shown that the pandemic of the unvaccinated narrative was false that it completely broke down this was
00:01:29.280 after omicron um the re researchers at the university of toronto basically concocted a model that simulated
00:01:38.320 fake data to show that unvaccinated people had higher incident rates than vaccinated individuals
00:01:45.440 and as such were a disproportionate risk to others and then they tried to pass off their fake data and
00:01:51.520 their fake results as a true reflection of reality even though uh official government of ontario data
00:01:57.680 showed basically the opposite um and then from there there was a big media frenzy warning
00:02:05.520 uh everybody of the risk of merely hanging out with the unvaccinated well yeah and that's part of what 1.00
00:02:11.840 really got to me was this this social division that they sewed with this agenda i mean not just the the
00:02:18.560 study but the other people who followed up on i mean the the vaccinations were initially sold at least
00:02:24.080 uh with the case being made that this is going to prevent transmission and we found out pretty quickly
00:02:28.720 once they were being applied whatever i mean we can debate the benefits or whether they reduce symptoms
00:02:33.520 or not or whatever but they did not have any impact on the transmissibility of that which should have
00:02:39.840 with rational moral people said well we can't keep yelling at people that they're putting everybody
00:02:44.400 else at risk or in danger and we shouldn't be trying to segregate people or pressure people
00:02:48.640 saying you're going to kill my grandmama if you don't get vaccinated because the vaccines did
00:02:53.440 nothing to stop the transmission right there the narrative should have changed but instead
00:02:58.000 they doubled down yeah they doubled down on it because it's a real problem for the government
00:03:03.200 if um it doesn't curtail transmission mandates don't make sense the mandates don't make sense the
00:03:08.720 passports don't make sense the travel restriction nothing they did makes sense when it comes to the
00:03:12.720 restrictions they put in place so they're doing everything they can to double down um even now
00:03:19.600 they're doubled down on that narrative they've never admitted they were wrong and they're still saying the
00:03:25.040 same thing it's difficult to get those discussions out like when we were doing our uh productions at
00:03:32.240 that time if i mentioned the word vaccine on youtube we'd be punted off the channel uh we we could if we
00:03:38.800 wanted to maintain our ability to keep broadcasting it was a no-go area for us we had to talk around in
00:03:45.200 circles to avoid the algorithms it was just brutal like why why were they so afraid of discourse on what
00:03:52.240 should be such an important issue well with when it comes to transmission um they basically set things
00:04:02.160 up i believe to bring in mandates in the future and so they don't want to back down on their on their
00:04:09.040 narrative and what happened with the fisman study is fisman and his colleagues they they basically
00:04:15.920 committed an overt textbook case of scientific fraud to prop up these mandates and restrictions and
00:04:27.200 the issue is that when i tried to get the paper retracted instead of um admitting there was a
00:04:33.920 problem the the journal the canadian medical association journal would not retract the article
00:04:39.600 even though dozens of scientists rebuked the findings uh the university of toronto backed it
00:04:45.280 uh the canadian institutes of health research they they're standing by it so now you have that top
00:04:51.600 institutions are basically complicit in this fraud which makes it really bad for them because it is
00:04:59.520 it is provable um and when you show that institutions are willing to commit fraud to scapegoat
00:05:06.000 a segment of the population then that segment requires protections and basically that's what i'm trying
00:05:12.400 to do with this book is is force protections for um you know basic based on vaccine choice and medical choice
