On February 4, 2022, Jason Kenney took to the airwaves and social media to broadcast an opportune message for Albertans.
“The End of COVID Restrictions is Near, Thanks to our high levels of vaccinations!”, he bellowed.
And the entirety of Alberta Rejoiced!
Well…accept he didn’t really bellow and took a full 5:35 minutes to completely fabricate information in his response on this and of course, nobody rejoiced.
Linkedin posted the information →HERE.
So, having listened to this insightful message, I formed an equally positive reply and then reported his post as Misinformation - which of course was rejected by Linkedin and led to another temporary suspension.
But, watch the video and then let’s really analyze what he’s saying here.
First Statement:
“Thanks to our high levels of vaccination, Omicron has been much less severe than earlier variants”.
Except, it isn’t.
I mean, Omicron is less severe but has absolutely nothing to do with vaccinations and this is something we knew back in December of 2021.
And this comes from a country that is less than 30% “Fully Vaccinated”
And their current COVID death rate looks like this:
How we doing in Alberta?
Not good:
While Africa, with a low vaccination rate was able to reduce their deaths from the Delta Wave by about 60%, Alberta has seen Spike High ALPHA style deaths and as high as Delta on Average.
Ewwwwwwwwwww!
“Based on other jurisdictions around the world, we can expect can expect the pressure on our healthcare system to ease”
Yeah Eh?
Let’s check out how Israel is doing, with a higher vaccinated population and who got Omicron about the same time as the rest of the planet, November 2021:
If the vaccines work, why aren’t they working?
Why does Canada and Israel with Higher Vaccination Rates have Higher Death Rates in relation to South Africa, where they’ve had Omicron for the LONGEST and never seen the same spikes?
“We are in much better position to manage future waves of Alberta who have received a first dose of vaccine….”
How could he possibly know?
Given that we still aren’t even able to calculate Effective Rate for the Vaccines for Omicron, in the province, how can he expect that the vaccines will be effective at any other variant?
Not forgetting that our death rate at current and spike high rates don’t show any improvements…
Here’s his next big whopper:
“And when the REP was introduced, vaccines were still very effective at limiting transmission and infection”…
We actually knew by the end June of 2021 that vaccines wouldn’t stop or slow the transmission of COVID.
So, how’d that all work out?
June 30th, 2021:
New Cases: 501
7-day average - 617
September 20, 2021:
New Cases: 8,581
7-day average - 4,399
From when we knew breakthrough cases were possible there was a 17x increase in New Cases by the time the REP program began and a 7x 7-day average.
Next doozy:
“The REP Program increased vaccination rate…blah blah blah…and saved many lives”
Yeah eh. About the only thing that Jason Kenney get’s correct here is that by threatening to lock people away from social activities, he forced them into vaccines. A lot of people did get vaccinated following this announcement…but if you refer back to earlier…how many lives were saved?
And then there’s this:
Prior to September 20th, 2021, there were 192 fully vaccinated deaths in the province. By today’s announcement, there are 665. 2.5x as many people died from the beginning of the REP program than did prior to the rep program:
“Which helped in not having to cancel more surgeries during both the Delta and Omicron Waves”.
How does 2.5x the amount of death in the fully vaccinated add more hospital space for additional surgeries, you may ask?
No idea…he doesn’t address that. They just make shit up and spout it out. That’s why this isn’t an actual interview with a real media…
And by the 2:11 mark, Jason Kenney Concludes
“So, the Restriction Exemption Program has done its job, but the realitity is that with the Omicron wave, we have seen that the power of vaccines to reduce transmission and infection against this highly transmissible variant has declined significantly. And this is in part because most Albertans got their last vaccine shot - typically their second shot - last summer and they have not yet received the more recently available booster shots.
You with me here?
Earlier in the video, Jason Kenney said that we’d be ready for the Next Wave…because 90% of the population got their first shot…but here, because they got their second shot way back last summer, that they are worthless and even though over the last 120 days, 108 Triple Vaccinated people who got their 3rd dose, DIED…we need to something something something…
I dare you to watch the whole video clip without punching out your device or throwing it out the window.
Me…I couldn’t do it.
I will maybe try again later and come up with a Part 2 to “VACCINE Lies by Jason Kenney”…but probably not.
I started watching Kenney and like you my BS meter went off the dial. It's fantastic that you were able to reveal the lies with the light of truth from the data. Going forward, this is clearly the way to beat them back. This will leave the PTB with a choice: cave, or go full Notzi. I have a bad feeling they will choose the latter.
Thanks for this… always a good read. LinkedIn must have some trigger words.. When one looks at the data; what you presented and from what is available throughout the world, your post is on point.
