I Will Absolutely Not Accept This...

And Neither Should You.

It’s Friday Night and I’ve got some serious splaining to do…so, whilst you’re not out drinking beer in your backyard, tending to your garden, nor are you knee-deep with a snow shovel, I’m going to ask you to pour yourself a stiff - whatever it is you’d normally consume - when you are processing information…because this might get a little deep…you will need something to help you absorb it…and hopefully, you don’t have work tomorrow.

You see…I sift through an exorbitant amount of information before processing even more data to bring you things that I feel are both relevant and important. This requires me to scan multiple sources of information that span social media platforms, news sources and medical studies.

And selfishly enough, I will 100% admit that I don’t specifically do this for you, the content created because of it, is for your understanding. I mean…I already get it…the only reason that I talk about this shit is because you continue to listen.

So…today, I tripped across a Rachel - just a sleeve now, will be Schoonering later - Notley Twitter post where she is deeply saddened about the influenza deaths in Alberta from last night:

Rachel Notley @RachelNotley

My deepest condolences to those grieving the loss of six Albertans who have died of influenza. My heart breaks for the family grieving the loss of a child. There are no words for such a tragedy. #ableg #abhealth #yyc #yeg

globalnews.caYoung child among 6 Albertans who have died of influenza this season | Globalnews.caInfluenza is now being blamed for six deaths in Alberta this flu season, according to the latest data from the province. A four-year-old child is among those who have died.

Rach shouldn’t be demonized for grieving the loss of 6 lives from the flu, one of those being between 1-4 years old:

And while I’m happy that she’s not celebrating those who took their own lives through the MAiD Program…where the fuck has she been on the whole COVID lives lost thing?

Does she believe that she’s the new surrogate Dr. Deena - Loves Cats - Hinshaw, that she needs to Twitter update the provincial deaths?

How’s bout the rest of the mortality for the province in the last week, Rach?

Only those who died from respiratory viruses getting your attention?

Now…I talked about this in that we are seeing a Massive Resurgence in influenza…since we started tracking it again…because nobody believes that influenza cases fell off in 2020 and only reemerged this year…but what you really need to see is:

We are at DOUBLE the levels since 2019…and in fact, as provincially reporting shows, the HIGHEST level we’ve seen provincially since 2009-2010:

And while there might be a lot of theories, like - compromised immune systems due to overtaxed immune systems from experimental mRNA vaccines and a lack of adaptation due to lockdown measures…we’re in a bit of a shitstorm here.

And it’s really not surprising.

If you continue your life with unhealthy habits and chronically pour gasoline over inflammation through consumption of trash, your body will go to shit. If you do this to the population of a province, this is EXACTLY what you’d expect.

There’s a little more to unpack here, some a refresher for those of you who actually read my diatribe…

But while the Influenza Vaccines are really no better than coin toss odds at best, according to the CDC…they are the absolute worst for the current dominant strain - Influenza A (H3N2), covered here:

The Winter of our Discontent, Part 2

I could go all sciency and shit on ya here and dive deep into speculation…but you’re probably already and hopefully a few sips into your beverage and I don’t want to bore you with that anyways.

So, instead…let me math you to sleep.

:P

Fucking with ya…it won’t be that bad…

The change in the Provincial COVID Dashboard from November 7th to November 14th 2022, indicates that:

There were 44 COVID deaths…in the same time as 6 Influenza deaths for the province.

So…if Rach was actually concerned about Respiratory Virus Deaths in the province, she should be concerned about 44 COVID deaths or even the combination of the 6 influenza and COVID deaths and mentioning 50 deaths.

BUT WAIT.

Nobody ever accused Rach of being smart…nor sober for that matter…

And if you still actually drill into the stats provided by the Alberta Dashboard - nobody does this but me - the most interesting thing that you will find is this:

That, including November 7th, 2022 - to current, there were only a total of 4 deaths…meaning that after firing failed CMOH, Dr. Deena - Hates Math - Hinshaw and the AHS Board…somebody is still back-padding the statistics on the COVID dashboard.

And this is complete fucking bullshit!

Now…I gauge my content on statistics…because I do actually care about what you want to see and read and I know for 100% certainty that…

1. Everybody loves when I talk about Rachel - blowing spit bubbles - Notley getting tanked up and Tweeting; and

2. Nobody likes when I question nor throw a little shade at our new Premier, Danielle Smith…

But at the same time, I honestly don’t give shit.

If there is information that I feel relevant to our current situation, I am going to keep on drilling into it…

While I do believe that Danielle is doing a good job at draining the AHS swamp…I am not going to accept the slight of hand on the statistics…

And neither should you!

Hope that you’ve not only sipped your way through a comforting beverage, but also consider another before I get the Substack Ratio treatment.

Guys…and Gals…we need full transparency not tribalism to get through this.

And, here’s to the weekend!

Cheers!
