Quebec to Implement Tax for Unvaccinated


Armstrong Blog/Canada Re-Posted Jan 14, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Quebec plans to implement a tax on unvaccinated individuals. Quebec Premier François Legault said that the vaccine, the one that does not prevent infection or transmission, is “the key to fight the virus,” and adults who refuse to be vaccinated will be subject to a “health contribution.”

The province suggested a tax of C$50 or C$100, but the premier said that amount is insignificant. Despite fully vaccinated individuals also contracting the virus, for the unvaccinated “there are consequences on our health-care network and it’s not up to all Quebecers to pay for this.” This claim is absolutely absurd. How will they implement this program when Big Pharma is churning out boosters and new vaccines? Imposing a “significant” tax on a subset of the population that has already lost most of their freedoms, and potentially jobs, will only worsen the quality of life for many Canadians.

“It’s a question of equity because right now, these people, they put a very important burden on our health-care network. And I think it’s normal that the majority of the population is asking that there be a consequence,” the premier continued. Those who resist are a “burden,” as numerous politicians have stated throughout the world.

COVID Uprising in Bulgaria – Governments Better Wise Up


Armstrong Economics Blog/Civil Unrest Re-Posted Jan 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

There are protests rising around the world and here in 2022 our computer is forecasting that the violence will accelerate. Here is Bulgaria where security forces have barricaded themselves inside the Bulgarian parliament with MPs while protesters outside the parliament demand the end of the covid policy. The protesters broke through the police cordon in front of the parliament and tried to gain access to the parliament itself.

We are warning governments globally. You better back off of this Great Reset. It is going to fail and you are instigating massive civil unrest which will lead to a revolution in many areas. However, this is extremely foolish for Rome fell and the barbarians were able to break through their defenses ONLY because the government was corrupt and imploding internally. This is the very same threat they are bringing down upon the entire world> This is the perfect time for China and Russia to bring down the dominance of the West just as Rome fell. The Premier of Western Australia is totally insane. Mark McGowan told reporters that many Covid-19 restrictions and rules would remain in place for years.

“Covid has been around for two years, it’s showing no signs of slowing down over east,” he said.

“I expect these requirements will be in place for years to come.”

Oh Snap, Canadian Trucker Vaccine Mandate is Back On – All Cross Border Truckers Will Need Proof of Vaccine Starting January 15th

This is crazy.  The Canadian government is saying someone made a mistake when they announced they were rescinding the vaccine mandate for cross border commercial truck drivers.  As of right NOW, the January 15th deadline is in place.  All truck drivers from the U.S. or Canada will have to prove their vaccinated status in order to cross the border.

CANADA – The federal government says that unvaccinated Canadian truckers will not be exempted from the new federal vaccine mandate for truck drivers coming into effect this weekend.

In a joint statement, Canada’s transportation, health, and public safety ministers said that Canada’s initial policy requiring truckers coming into Canada to be fully vaccinated, or face PCR testing and quarantine requirements, stands.

Despite the Canada Border Services Agency telling reporters on Wednesday that unvaccinated Canadian truck drivers arriving at the border would “remain exempt” from any testing or quarantine requirements, the government now says that information, provided by a spokesperson, was incorrect.

As things stand, and as was initially the case before this week’s confusion, unvaccinated Canadian truckers will have to “meet requirements for pre-entry, arrival and day eight testing, as well as quarantine requirements,” as they can’t be denied entry into Canada.

Unvaccinated or partially-vaccinated non-Canadian truckers will be turned away if they are unable to show proof of immunization or a valid medical contraindication to the COVID-19 vaccines.

“On November 19, 2021, we announced that as of January 15, 2022, certain categories of travellers who are currently exempt from entry requirements, will only be allowed to enter the country if they are fully vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved for entry into Canada. These groups include several essential service providers, including truck drivers,” said the ministers in the statement.

With just days to go before the vaccination requirement for truck drivers is set to come into effect, this is the second time federal officials have appeared to flip-flop on what the rules will be in the last 24 hours, though in their statement the government said its position “has not changed.”

“The information shared yesterday was provided in error. Our teams have been in touch with industry representatives to ensure they have the correct information,” reads the statement.

In order to qualify as a fully-vaccinated foreign national, non-Canadian truckers have to have completed their authorized vaccine series at least 14 days before entering the country and have submitted the required information through the ArriveCAN app. (read more)

All The Wrong Moves – Western Australia Triggers Full Society Lockdown for All Unvaccinated Citizens, Harshest Measures in All of Nation


Posted originally on the conservative tree house January 13, 2022 | Sundance | 230 Comments

Comrades, the Premier of Western Australia, Mark McGowan has announced new rules for vaccine passports in the state.  Premier McGowan says life will become “very difficult” for the state’s unvaccinated, as he unveils the toughest proof-of-vaccination rules in Australia.

Let me be very clear, these rules and regulations are going to lead to unintended consequences that government officials have never considered.  The pain this will bring upon the vaccinated, yes, the vaccinated, will be of such consequence the government will be defending itself for years from the backlash of unintended consequences that global leaders have yet to fathom.  More on that later…

In the interim, in his announcement today, McGowan announces that vaccine passports will be required to participate in any level of civil society, and the unvaccinated are going to be intentionally locked out of almost everything.  Watch Video from 01:00 to 04:00 to see the scale:

This totalitarian interventionist exercise will bring a scale of consequence that Australians have yet to realize.  Unfortunately, many state and municipal leaders in the United States are not that far behind.

Danish study shows negative vaccine effectiveness


Posted originally on TrialSite New by Staff on January 12, 2022

Danish study shows negative vaccine effectiveness

Researchers at the Statens Serum Institut in Denmark published a pre-print study suggesting that the second doses of Pfizer and Moderna vaccines may increase people’s likelihood of infection after 90 to 150 days. The same study suggested that a third Pfizer shot re-establishes efficacy for an indefinite period.

The large number of so-called breakthrough infections after second doses of vaccines suggest that vaccine clinical trials may have badly miscalculated efficacy rates.

The Danish Study

The study, which was published in December on the Medrxiv pre-print to await peer-review, explores SARS-CoV-2 protection against infection by the Omicron or Delta variants five months after one dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.

Lead author, Dr. Christian Holm Hansen, assistant professor of Medical Statistics and Epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and his co-authors are affiliated with the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology and Prevention and the Department of Infectious Disease Preparedness, Statens Serum Institut, Denmark. The study received no external funding. 

The authors extracted data of positive polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, test results, and vaccination data from Danish registries between November 20 and December 12, 2021. The authors compared the rate of COVID-19 infections, of both Omicron and Delta variants, in unvaccinated individuals with those who received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.

By December 12, there were 5,767 Omicron cases in Denmark. Researchers discovered that vaccine effectiveness against Omicron was 55% and 37% for Pfizer and Moderna respectively. Vaccine efficacy waned rapidly over five months.

Initially, vaccine effectiveness was 87% for Pfizer and 88% for Moderna against Delta but decreased over the five months, to 54% and 65% respectively. 

The study found that VE was re-established after a Pfizer booster vaccine to 55% against Omicron and 81% against the Delta variants. The authors determined they lacked similar data about Moderna. 

Controversially, the authors found negative vaccine efficacy – a higher likelihood of infection – against Omicron during the period between 90 and 150 days after vaccination. The authors calculated Pfizer’s vaccine efficacy at -76.5% and Moderna’s at -39% during that period for Moderna. 

“The negative estimates in the final period arguably suggest different behavior and/or exposure patterns in the vaccinated and unvaccinated cohorts causing underestimation of the VE,” the authors said implying that unvaccinated people may have behaved more cautiously and exposed themselves to less risk or that more vaccinated people got tested for COVID-19 or engaged in behaviors that exposed themselves to more risk.

Data from the UK’s Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that fully vaccinated people and those having received a booster vaccine are more than four times as likely to test positive for Omicron than the unvaccinated. Although this data is provisional, it supports claims that Omicron is evading vaccines. The data does not show anything about the severity of the Omicron cases, or whether the vaccines protect against serious infections and severe symptoms. 

Reuters fact-checked ONS’ data and claimed it does not show that vaccinated people are more likely to be infected than unvaccinated but only the probability of an infected person being infected with Omicron. “This means it doesn’t tell us that vaccines are making things worse overall, only that they are making it much more likely that a vaccinated person is infected with Omicron.”

A different pre-print paper titled “The BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 reprograms both adaptive and innate immune responses” concluded that the Pfizer vaccine is causing immune system dysregulation. The paper concludes that the Pfizer vaccine reprograms innate immune responses “may contribute to a diminished innate immune response towards the virus.”

Are vaccines making us more vulnerable?

Because the Danish paper is still in preprint and awaiting peer review it is not conclusive. The study also looked at a small cohort of people in Denmark using publicly available data and lacks scale.

Negative vaccine effectiveness could be due to different behaviors or exposure patterns in vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, resulting in an “underestimation of the vaccine’s effectiveness,” according to the authors, or because Omicron is highly transmissible and spreading rapidly. Dr. Astrid Blicher Schelde from the Statens Serum Institute, and one of the authors of the study, wrote an email to PolitiFact offering additional reasons including higher testing rates among vaccinated than unvaccinated people. Schelde also said that data from early Omicron cases might be skewed by international travelers’ more cautious behavior by unvaccinated. 

Schelde said vaccinated people are not necessarily more likely to be infected with Omicron more vaccinations and booster doses are required to combat Omicron and other COVID-19 variants. 

The UK Health Security Agency also reported zero or negative vaccine from a double dose of AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and Moderna vaccines after five months. A booster dose increased vaccine effectiveness to 40-60%. The report warned that these results should be interpreted with caution, due to low counts and possible biases related to populations with high exposure to Omicron.

A Norwegian paper published by Euro Surveillance in December 2021 also reported negative effectiveness of vaccines against as Omicron. The Norwegian case study focused on one “super spreader” event, where guests to a Christmas party became infected with Omicron. The authors suspected this high level of transmission between fully vaccinated people was due to the indoor location, crowding, and loud talking.

Should we be concerned?

Although the authors of the Danish study explained the reason for the negative vaccine effectiveness found in their study, other studies produced similar results with the effectiveness dependent upon booster vaccinations.

Does the Belief in a God Temper One’s Actions?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Tyranny Re-Posted Jan 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Many questions have come in about our computer forecasting that this grand effort to take over the world will fail. What you must understand is that when people do not believe in any God, they tend to think that they are also above the law, and that is justified for it is a bigger purpose.

Soros has publicly stated that he does not believe in God, and thus it is up to him to manipulate the world economy to fulfill his grand visions. He has also stated that he had no remorse for helping the Nazis against the Jews when he was a Jew pretending to be a Christian.

Then you have Klaus Schwab implying that he too does not believe in God, for he simply says that the future is up to us to create. That suggests that there is also no divine design to how everything functions.

Bill Gates cleverly answered the question for “Rolling Stone.” He actually said: “I agree with people like Richard Dawkins that mankind felt the need for creation myths. Before we really began to understand disease and the weather and things like that, we sought false explanations for them. Now science has filled in some of the realm – not all – that religion used to fill.” He then tried to soften his response saying: ” I think it makes sense to believe in God, but exactly what decision in your life you make differently because of it, I don’t know.”

What all three seem to have in common is this idea that God is really irrelevant and it is just a myth spun to control the people thereby agreeing with Karl Marx. This all seems to follow a pattern that if you also do not believe in God, then you do not have any restraint or remorse. This reminds me of the monk Arnaud Amalric who died in 1225. The European crusade was primarily led by the French crown in an attempt to bring southern France, which was largely controlled by the Counts of Barcelona, under their political control. It was during the acclaimed religious war, which was really for French political gain, that the monk Amalric is best remembered for allegedly advising a soldier who was worried about killing orthodox Catholics in the process of killing declared Cathar heretics. He said:

 “NovitenimDominusquisunteius.” (“Kill them. For the Lord knows those that are His own.”)

The Cathars believed in two Gods or philosophies, with the first one being good and the second being evil. This idea emerged from the clash between the vengeful God of the Old Testament and the Love Thy Neighbor God of the New Testament who they saw as the creator of the spiritual realm, contrasted with the evil Old Testament God who was viewed as the creator of the physical world they identified as Satan.

This lack of belief in anything seems to inspire the evilest times throughout history. It appears that the absence of any belief in any God really leads to the total absence of any moral consideration, for there is also nobody waiting to judgment. Hence, they fear not being sorted out by anyone after death.

Biden’ Spending Spree – The Real Agenda


Armstrong Economics Blog/Economics Re-Posted Jan 13, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Many people have written in asking why are all the government spending like there is no tomorrow? The answer is – there is no tomorrow! This Great Rest is all about defaulting on the national debts and so they are all going nuts spending whatever they like knowing that the end game is the default.  There is no longer any pretense of fiscal management. Everything will simply vanish according to the forecasts of Klaus Schwab. This is also why they have been using COVID to enforce lockdowns and terrorize people. Washington State has a bill floating around to imprison the unvaccinated because they know they are the anti-government faction. In Quebec, they are proposing taxing the unvaccinated into poverty.

NEVER in the history of government has there ever been such reckless spending and we have Chuck Schumer desperately trying to overthrow the Filibuster to usher in this dictatorship. Schummer has clearly become a traitor to our Constitution.

This is the real agenda. Do not try to think for one moment this is good for the country or it is just the politics of Republican v Democrat. All Western governments are moving as fast as they can to flood the economy so they can just force the fault and suppression of the people.

Canada Drops Trucker Vaxx Mandate at Last Minute, But Retains Vaxx Mandate for American Truckers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on January 12, 2022 | Sundance | 92 Comments

We have talked about this quite a bit. {Go Deep} I’m not sure how this attempted needle threading is going to work out in the longer term. The announcement has come as a surprise to the Canadian trucking industry.

Apparently fearing the economic consequences, the Canadian government has dropped the vaccination requirement for Canadian truck drivers, and instructed border officials to permit unvaccinated Canadian truckers to cross the border.

The vaccine mandate for cross border truckers was scheduled to begin in a few days, January 15th.  However, the Canadian vaccination rule for U.S. truckers will remain in place.

MONTREAL — The federal government is backing down from its vaccine mandate for Canadian truckers three days before it was set to take effect.  Ottawa announced in mid-November that truck drivers crossing into Canada would need to be fully vaccinated by this Saturday.

But on Wednesday evening Canada Border Services Agency spokeswoman Rebecca Purdy told The Canadian Press that Canadian big-riggers will not have to quarantine if they are unvaccinated or have received only one dose.

[…] The new rule will still take effect for American truckers, who will be turned away at the border unless they’ve been inoculated starting this weekend. (read more)

How the hell can Canada justify dropping the vaxx mandate for Canadian truck drivers, but not for U.S. inbound shipments?  Are they preparing for a massive amount of rig switching at the border?   Good grief, what a mess.

♦ Here’s where the weakness of Biden and Buttigieg comes into play. If the U.S. side of the border enforces the vaccine mandate, the Canadian truckers will still be blocked, as the U.S. truckers are now stopped from entering Canada. However, that would take a U.S. administration ready to enforce equality in the supply chain against Canada.

There could already be an agreement between the White House and Canadian officials, and we just don’t know about it. However, I would not make that assumption. With this administration everything is done on the fly as a reaction to the politics of events.

Surely some enterprising journalist in DC is going to ask the White House what the U.S. response is?

Then again, maybe not.  After all, the insufferable DC doofus tribe likely have no concept of the chaos that can unfold over this trucker vaccine mandate writ large; which is scheduled to take effect on January 15th for cross border trucking, and then on January 22nd for all truck drivers inside the U.S. hauling domestic routes.

If Canada has dropped the vaccine requirement for their truckers, but not U.S. drivers, the Biden administration needs to hit them back.

Keep watching this issue, because the January 15th deadline was also supposed to take place at the U.S-Mexico crossing.

This situation reminds me of the Pennsylvania state government shutting down truck stops, rest areas and fuel stations during the beginning of the pandemic, then wondering why all their stores were empty within days? Duh!

European Medicines Agency Official Warns that Continuous COVID-19 Vaccine Boosters Could Threaten Human Health

Europe’s regulatory body known as the European Medicines Agency (EMA) held a press briefing on Tuesday, January 11 for updates on the COVID-19 pandemic. Marco Cavaleri, the EMA head of biological health threats and vaccine strategy, raised significant concerns about the present mass vaccination program implemented across the European continent. Acknowledging the highly contagious nature of the Omicron variant, the regulatory official expressed that the level of severity appears milder than the Delta variant yet emphasized the importance of further data collection for a true understanding of the unfolding Omicron epidemiological impact. Cavaleri explained that based on recent studies, vaccine effectiveness against symptomatic disease becomes significantly reduced, waning over time, and this means more fully vaccinated people in Europe become susceptible to breakthrough infections caused by either Delta or Omicron. However, the EMA official noted that with a booster, vaccine effectiveness shoots back up. Significant risks to human health manifest, however, based on the premise of a public health response driven by continuous COVID-19 vaccination booster jabs. Cavaleri cautions that repeated booster jabs may adversely impact the human immune system. The regulator’s comments effectively challenge the current paradigm of the COVID-19 response. Is it time now to transition to an endemic-based COVID-19 response regimen?

Health agencies in Israel have initiated a fourth COVID-19 booster for higher risk demographic cohorts (e.g. over the age of 60), and Turkey, as well as Holland, are contemplating a fifth booster jab. What are the implications for such a public health strategy? This could potentially be dangerous, negatively impacting the immune system, suggests EMA’s Cavaleri. 

A pharmacologist by training, Cavaleri spent several years in pharma research and development (R&D) with a specialization in antibacterial and antifungal programs spanning preclinical to clinical development. By 2005 he joined EMA as a Scientific Administrator, progressively advancing in the regulatory organization. 

Cavaleri’s message implies the need for an urgent dialogue on the present mass vaccination program. While TrialSite has continuously challenged the underlying premise that vaccines can eradicate a consciously evolving pathogen such as a coronavirus, greater concern centers on mounting risks associated with continuous COVID-19 boosters. Cavaleri shares the same concern during this press conference, emphasizing the need now to transition from pandemic to endemic stage of the COVID-19 pandemic.Subscribe to the Trialsitenews “COVID-19” ChannelNo spam – we promise

Danger of Over-Vaccination

Openly critiquing what in the United States is considered gospel by health officials, Cavaleri went on the record about the potential harm of ongoing COVID-19 boosters declaring they “can be done once, or maybe twice, but it’s not something that we can think should be repeated constantly.”

Pandemic to Endemic?

Openly questioning the current public health trajectory in Europe, the official continued, “We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting.”

Cavaleri’s message should be seriously embraced, as COVID-19 booster shots administered every four to six months may very well threaten the human immune system leading to dangerous vulnerability, thereby possibly exacerbating the current health crisis, and creating what could become a dire situation.

TrialSite’s founder Daniel O’Connor shared, “thus far clinical trials haven’t been designed, funded, and conducted to evaluate the impact of ongoing booster programs on human safety. How do we know what the impact of multiple boosts could be on our health in the short, intermediate, and long term?” 

O’Connor further emphasized that “this kind of ongoing, unfolding response with powerful novel technology without the appropriate data to better understand the health implications seems haphazard, even reckless.” The TrialSite founder suggested that the ongoing public health response to COVID-19 itself “seems to be one big, ongoing real-world research initiative.”

A growing number of medical and health experts introduce the need to soon transition to an endemic-centric response model (e.g., treat COVID-19 as a bad seasonal flu). However, many other experts such as the University of Illinois, Chicago infectious disease chief Dr. Richard Novak was quoted yesterday stating that we are still quite a way off from such a transition. Speaking with Chicago-area media Novak said, “No, we probably won’t be carrying vaccine cards forever, but eventually we will have a virus that is endemic and will cause mild illness and become sporadic.” According to Novak’s interview with ABC7, the milestone marking pandemic to endemic stage may be a few more years away, “depending on future variants.”

However, EMA’s Cavaleri indicates at least in Europe, the various national health agencies ought to start a dialogue, perhaps exploring how to integrate the COVID-19 vaccine into a seasonal influenza vaccine regimen.
