BCers are the most sheep-like creatures in Canada. We lived there for 15 years so speak with authority on this. 2 fired specialty nurses, when we asked people if they would like to see units closed rather than have unvac nurses the answer was.... and is... yes, yes we would. To a BCer, no care is better than care from someone who won't comply. We left BC a few months ago to go back to the US because honestly, they really are hopeless.
Vancouver is supposed to be a sentinel WEF Smart City. Having seen what these folks are like, it will happen without a whimper.
Please note the Vax Mandate and gag order applies to the ENTIRE public sector not just Healthcare workers. This is mandate has absolutely no basis in "protecting the vulnerable at all costs". It is in place to expressly push out any and all dissent and to send an unmistakably clear message that you will obey the NDP masters or be booted out. And the entire Union leadership is 100% on board with it.
With more BC doctors going to Alberta, those of us living in BC will increasingly see more people without a doctor. It is already impossible to find a doctor if you don't already have one. Queen Henry is doing everything she can to destroy our healthcare system in BC!
Thank-you so much for this excellent report about Britain Columbia and what is actually happening here. Very much appreciated. I cannot understand why any health care professional would want to work in this Province. What's the point in being a doctor if you can no longer function as one. Both Bonnie Henry and Adrian Dix have blood on their hands and hopefully they will be both held accountable for their part in this tragedy they have inflicted on the people of British Columbia. That day can't come soon enough.
I have been going to the Freedom protests in Vic for close to two years. Tough, tough gig in what I call mass formation central. Vic is dying too, just as Van is (see the documentary Vancouver is Dying on YouTube.
I am waiting for the results of the AB spring election. If the UCP win, highly likely I will move back to AB. BC is toast and will only get worse as more people leave, esp. doctors and other health professionals.

I'm right there with you. In my opinion, it is unequivocal that there is more harm than good from the vaccines for vast sections of the population. However the real world numbers put forward in this article are shit from any perspective, should not be used to draw conclusion, and are at best observations. I'm not casting shade on the author, because he's putting forward the best data that we have (not transparent/not adjudicated/shit).
But to make a point, the "Cases" validated by PCR are a tiny fraction of the real world cases. There is so much uncertainty in the case # that it is impossible to calculate with CFR with certainty. For example if we were to multiply the cases by 100x, the CFR drops by that same factor.
Similarly as we know there are so many known cofounders, such as age, co-morbidities, etc. The data above does not adjust for that to make comparisons. Similarly because this is raw observational data there are confounders we don't know. That is the whole point of running randomized controlled studies - to remove confounders to isolate the effect of an intervention.
None of that is being done of course, and we are living through a dystopian circus of centralized socialist medicine. The decisions being made on this data are as good as tossing bones. Decisions are being made on ideology, and what a few in power wish to be true (not what is true). All of this builds in hubris and punishment from the outset.
Real world data is good when it suits the policy makers' agenda, but real world data of equal or better quality is ignored, hidden, or discarded when it doesn't.
It is astounding that today policy makers and their henchmen block ivermectin. The data for ivermectin is as good or better than that of the vaccines for improving the outcomes that matter. There is absolutely NO justification for this. The contradictions built into this policy are ridiculous and definitively expose the whole scam that continues.
I’ve lived in BC my whole life and I am shocked at the BC NDP sheep in this province. If I could leave for Alberta right now I would. I’d like to think there is a silent majority here that is done with Covid here but judging from the lack of response and outcry to the BC NDP overreach on Bill 36... it’s frustrating. The only positive is that there is a Recall petition in David Eby’s riding and maybe that’s how we could rid ourselves of the BC NDP.
Excellent article and analysis. Denying the current Covid fatality rates in the boosted population while instituting B.C. bill 36 and still insisting on a vax mandate for healthcare personelle is criminal negligence by B.C. politicians and Public Health Officials
You are correct on many comments. The numbers in BC are definitely “manipulated” by PH for purposes of creating a FOMO mentality (so, exaggerate V uptake and people will choose to join the crowd AND exaggerate the number of cases and deaths manufacture fear in the, especially urban, population who then run and do as they’re told (for their safety). Sadly, for PH, many non-urbanites or more remote citizens didn’t let fear or FOMO drive their decisions so uptake of V is significantly lower than “reported” in these areas (Queen Bonnie actually implemented greater restrictions for the Okanagan and norther reasons, not for health but to “force” more V uptake).
I believe that many of the medical professionals who practice in northern or remote centres are more likely to move to avoid the unconstitutional Bill 35 requirement for V support (any V the government wants to demand BTW), leaving remote areas EVEN MORE under-serviced for health care and further punishing the non-compliant population.
Urban doctors have, for the most part, bought in and were compliant b/c they have expensive lifestyles that are difficult to replace in another province. PH likely believes they have these doctors, nurses, dentists, physiotherapists, chiropractors, etc (maybe even naturopaths) under their thumbs due to the addiction to financially and living extravagancies (can’t really replace a multimillion dollar home with an ocean and mountain view in North Vancouver with any home in Regina is their expectation).
So, the bill will control the messaging for the higher populated regions where people are more likely to comply WHILE punishing remote professionals and their patients in less compliant regions - WIN-WIN for the autocratic government and their non-elected leader and provincial health civil servants.
I think you are right... but then again, we were doing temporary work in Nanaimo and got fired from there. Actual colleagues said they are still glad our units shut down from lack of staff than have us unvac.
I suspect you are talking about the pocket of liberty in Interior Health. Keep in mind many US draft dodgers moved there in the 60s and 70s so freedom could be in their blood.
Thank you Yakk. I live in bc (sadly) and yes it’s a fire place for anyone who thinks outside the box. How can I make a donation or become a paid subscriber. Want to support your work.

I thought I'd change to paid subscription to support your work, so looked for how to change from free to paid and don't see how.

Will do! I want to support key independent journalists/information sources while I still have a job! You are definitely one of them.
