Trial Begins - Day 2
I had waited for information regarding the trial that would call Dr. Deena Hinshaw to answer for some of the information and actions that she’s taken throughout this pandemic. Details can be found at →Here.
TRIAL BEGINS
Calgary: Rath & Company (“Rath & Co”), Barristers and Solicitors, retained by Freedom Corp., the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedom (“JCCF”), counsel for the Province and Justice J. Romaine have begun a 14 day trial related to the constitutional challenge of the Alberta Chief Medical Officer of Health often-contradictory and arbitrary Orders that have bankrupted businesses and stripped citizens of Alberta of most of their rights under the Alberta Bill of Rights and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
I missed Day 1 and feel like I’ve been left out of a some great conversations and took me a bit to get up to speed. While I was in attendance for a couple meetings with Jeff Rath, I didn’t have all of the documentation and evidence that was going to be entered in, so will take me some time got get caught up on.
And, as we progress, I hope to learn a lot.
From today, of my biggest takeaways…the Province of Alberta and specifically at hands of Dr. Deena Hinshaw took all appropriate responses in locking down the public, up to July of 2021 and that you are not smart enough to make decisions for yourself, during a global pandemic.
Witness on the stand today was Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, one of the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration.
He was asked to answer some questions specific to Alberta when the GBD was a general plan to offer “Focused Protect” for those at highest risk. Something that I’ve talked about at great lengths, something we are still not doing today.
One of the things that he brought up, non-specifically and in answer to questions was the importance of COVID death by way of Age and conditions in those who are Obese or have Diabetes, T2D - I would suppose but as I was in and out and may have missed a touch of the questioning, cannot say specifically, but being how T2D is associated with Obesity, will make this as a reasonable assumption. Please use your own judgement.
A Focused plan, he explained would allow those who are at a lower risk to be able to continue on with lives at a somewhat normal level while helping to preserve or at least not erode trust in Public Heath and their measures.
Nicholas Parker, speaking for the province believed that locking down seniors and those with multiple conditions would be “Draconian”, while missing the irony that locking down the entire province was no less draconian and served absolutely no purpose.
Dr. Bhattacharya was a strong advocate for a path through the pandemic to be one of information and support through government programs to assist the poor or elderly and that the key to survival throughout the pandemic was spread among the vulnerable not so much spread throughout the community - again, all in keeping with the ideas set forth by the GBD and one that focuses on those who need protection.
Inside of the testimony, I’d learned a little about the classification of COVID deaths and learned that the definition used by Alberta is common to what is used by the World Health Organization.
Which is done to Track the death of and from COVID.
& from the WHO
Now, the last line of this, I find a little perplexing.
There should be no period of complete recovery from COVID-19 between illness and and death.
This drums up the whole conversation about, died WITH COVID and died FROM COVID and on this point, Dr. Bhattacharya noted that on audit in his current area of California that 25% of the deaths that were recorded weren’t actually COVID related but had no information on any such audit done on the deaths inside of Alberta.
Depending on how long you’ve been reading my substack or if you’d seen all of my content, you may remember some comments I made specifically about this very issue and one that created an absolute shitstorm for Dr. Deena Hinshaw in reporting Alberta’s youngest victim of COVID.
Aptly titled: It’s Time to Audit AHS.
You see, Alberta’s youngest victim - 14 year old boy - was indeed tragic. But this death wasn’t actually from COVID, he died from Stage 4 Brain Cancer. Do you know where his death sits on our provincial records today?
If you guessed as a COVID death, you’d be absolutely correct.
But this is all okay because…something something something…you’re not smart enough to remember and probably don’t look at the statistics anyways and will never be asked for this on a test.
What else was brought up during this, that I was able to learn a little about is PCR testing. And Specifically, why they lie about it.
Cycle counts…blah blah blah blah blah…
You see, the PCR test can actually be fooled into a lot of False Positive tests based on the cycle count. Kind of like your microwave can cook food - as intended, or scorch food - as undesirable, depending on your microwave, it’s power settings and of course how long you put something to cook for. Labs don’t have to report the CT values - cycle count, because this would be a regulatory violation?
What the fuck?
How would standardized testing be in a regulatory violation if it was standardized. Well, these geniuses figured out a way to just exclude this data and make it a non issue.
So, where are we at this point?
We don’t know who actually tested positive for COVID nor do we know who actually tested positive and by the Province…this is okay…again, because you are not smart enough to handle this information and wouldn’t know how to use it if you did, so you should just shut up and listen to them when they are trying to save your life, despite these measures making your life a lot harder whether you are higher risk or not.
The trial adjourned early because of a submission by Jeff and Leighton trying to use a Meta Analysis from Johns Hopkins University and the validity of its value. Because this document wasn’t released until January of 2022, the Province says that there is no way that it could have referred to Lockdowns being completely worthless up to July of 2021 by a document that wasn’t published until January of 2022. And, he’s right.
Thing is, a lot of the studies that were used to produce this meta-analysis were produced before July of 2021. Jeff and Leighton will be making case on it’s admissibility and carry on with their redirect of Dr. Jay tomorrow, I think…but then there is a couple more days until Hinshaw hit’s the stand and a couple days next week where she will be called back.
Now…
If I was a bird or had the ear of Jeff and Leighton and again because I’ve missed part of this on Friday and don’t know exactly what was covered, only working off of what the Province Questioned Dr. Jay about…On Redirect, I would use him in his capacity of being one of the authors of the GBD and solidify some stats. These are kind of important. Only information up to July 6th, 2021 is being accepted without challange from the province so I would go over the following to verify that this is exactly what Dr. Jay has been seeing, the basis for the GBD and if all still makes sense inside of his publication.
First thing - I would establish the actual amount of deaths reported by both the Province up to this date as according to the website and a comparison to the data that is provided by the Data Download. If you’ve followed me for 10 seconds, you already know this shit won’t line up and in fact, it does not.
The Province specifically stated that there were 2,307 deaths on this date and that’s what the Dashboard also reports:
The Most Recent Data reports that there are 2,324. Meaning, somewhere along the way we picked up another 17 deaths. I would ask Dr. Jay how many times he’s seen retroactive reporting deaths during a pandemic where the Province has quizzed him on this exact figure while the current data download isn’t congruent.
Remember, there were some 50% of mortality added to the 2020 COVID death totals, that I covered Here. Adding several hundred deaths to pad the numbers and keep the lockdowns in place or used to increase the powers of the government is pretty shitty.
From there, I would bring up the July 6th numbers on Age Associated Risk:
This shows that the High Risk Age groups inside of the province, where of the 2,307 deaths reported up to this day - wink wink - were 92% of the total mortality, where he’d previously stated that they made up about 80%.
This is pretty important because what we are actually looking at is the absolute risk factor for all other people below this age group whose lives were impacted by Provincial Measures while the risk remained rather low. And then of course, I’d dive right into the conditions.
By July 6, 2021, there were only 75 deaths, making up 3.3% of the mortality rate.
While Dr. Jay is pretty keen on his numbers, he associates a large part of this due to AGE instead of the factors of Conditions. 96.7% of the death rate attributed to conditions, 92% per age. There is a distinction here that the Doctor may be able to use moving forward but for the Province specific, it’s a pretty big deal.
These conditions that make up the highest risk are identified by a physician, not anecdotal. Because of these conditions, it would be important to specify that through our provincial health records, we could identify each one of these individuals with these conditions by name, address and phone number through their conditions and pharmaceutical prescriptions.
A great question for Dr. Jay, if you knew the names, addresses and phone numbers of all of those at high risk, would this be a way to more effectively approach the pandemic than to try and save those who are at little or no risk?
I’ve got a lot to catch up on but this whole case is going to boil down to, what the the province know, when did they know it and did they act accordingly.
I was on the edge of my seat today watching through the proceedings.
Will be back in the morrow!
