Another list of niceties from the Cunt, Trudeau. I think Reuters are allowed to be a trusted source?

List of scandals and missteps involving Canada's Trudeau
www.reuters.com

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whose Liberals are in deep political trouble after the emergence of a photo of him in brown face, has experienced a number of scandals and missteps since taking power in November 2015.

WATCHDOG RULES TRUDEAU TRIED TO HELP MAJOR FIRM AVOID TRIAL

The office of the independent ethics commissioner - one of Canada’s top watchdogs - declared in August 2019 that the prime minister’s team had breached ethics rules. The office said Trudeau and his officials had tried in 2018 to undermine a decision by federal prosecutors allowing construction company SNC-Lavalin Group Inc to face a corruption trial. Trudeau said he took full responsibility but declined to apologize, saying he had been trying to save jobs. Trudeau is the only Canadian prime minister formally found to have broken ethics rules.

HOLIDAY AT RESORT OWNED BY RICH FRIEND

The ethics watchdog first sanctioned Trudeau in December 2017, ruling that the prime minister broke some conflict of interest rules when he accepted a vacation on the Aga Khan’s private island in 2016. At the time, the Aga Khan’s foundation was formally registered to lobby Trudeau and his officials. Trudeau said he accepted the report and would clear future vacations with the watchdog.

COSTUMES DURING TRIP TO INDIA

The Trudeau family repeatedly donned elaborate colored costumes during an eight-day trip to India in February 2018, sparking widespread scorn on social media, especially since many of the Indian officials he met were wearing suits. During the trip the Canadian side faced awkward questions about how Jaspal Atwal, who was convicted in 1986 of the attempted murder of an Indian politician visiting Canada, had been invited to a reception for Trudeau in New Delhi.

SARCASTIC REMARK TO INDIGENOUS PROTESTOR

Trudeau, who says one of his main priorities is helping Canada’s marginalized and impoverished aboriginal population, was forced to apologize in March 2019 for making a sarcastic remark to an indigenous woman who interrupted a Liberal Party fundraiser to protest about poor living conditions. He told her “Thank you for your donation” as she was escorted from the room.

ELBOWS FEMALE LEGISLATOR IN THE BREAST IN PARLIAMENT

In a May 2016 incident dubbed ElbowGate, an impatient Trudeau - frustrated by what he felt were the opposition’s stalling tactics - crossed the floor in the House of Commons to grab a legislator but accidentally elbowed a female Parliamentarian in the breast. He apologized repeatedly for the incident, saying he was only human and in a high pressure job. He also promised there would be no repeat of his actions.

Lunacy. My missus booked a firm to go and measure up for blinds in her nans new care home room. They refused to do a test at reception before going in and left. Turning down a job because they wouldn't do a covid test before going into a care-home full of vulnerable people. There are no depths that these type will not sink to.

The politicisation of Covid is an absolute disaster. Rich fucks and their eager grifters pretending that public health measures are some sort of assault on freedom. God help us when the next pandemic hits.

The tories saw it as an earner. The colander heads saw it as their chance to try and show how much they know whilst proving that they don't know a fucking thing. Covid really did 'out' some actual cunts.

California anti-mandate activist Kelly Ernby was not vaccinated when she died of Covid-19 this week, according to her husband — who said that “that was the problem.”

The 46-year-old Republican deputy district attorney from Orange County had until a month before her death vehemently attacked coronavirus vaccine mandates.

When news of her death broke Monday, it was not immediately clear if she had herself been vaccinated — with some fellow GOP activists even suggesting the shot had actually caused her death, according to the Orange County registrar.

Ernby’s husband, Axel Mattias Ernby, quickly responded to shut down the false rumors, the paper said.

“Please stop spreading lies about Kelly Ernby,” the widower wrote.

There are an awful lot of people there who are not vaccinated, or under-vaccinated.

 

The real second wave of covid's effect on the world could be about to begin.

 

Aren't the Chinese-made vaccines supposed to have a much lower efficacy than the 'Western' ones too?

My missus has got it for the first time- she's not too bad, but has a cough and says her chest feels really tight. I'm pretty sure she caught it off our eldest who came back from university and promptly spent several days in bed feeling like shit, although he did test negative. I still haven't tested positive, I guess if I don't get it this time I might as well consider myself an immune ubermensch, not to mention a goddamn sexual tyrannosaurus.

Almost half of COVID survivors globally—both children and adults—have lingering symptoms four months later, according to a landmark new study.

Researchers at the University of Leicester in England performed an analysis of nearly 200 studies of prior COVID patients, involving nearly 750,000 people in all. The patients—some of whom were hospitalized and some of whom weren’t—lived across the globe.

More than 45% of study participants had at least one lingering symptom four months out from their initial infection. A quarter of the patients reported fatigue, and a similar number said they felt pain or discomfort. Meanwhile, sleep issues, breathlessness, and problems participating in normal daily activities were reported in just under a quarter of patients, according to the study.

How?

Well the first line says “Almost half of COVID survivors globally—both children and adults—have lingering symptoms four months later, according to a landmark new study.”

 

But literally in the next paragraph, it says it’s based on research of 750,000 people.
 

So it can’t be half the worlds Covid survivors, as this graph shows you, there were a lot more cases than 750,000.

The figure is based on estimates. Not actual confirmed figures.
 

Estimates can be wrong. Therefore it’s misleading (I don’t deny the results of the research on the 750,000 over 200 studies)

 

Where is the link to the full article? Not the report, but the article you got the info from.

"Covid survivors"?


Oh, some people are deffo survivors of it. Others it barely touches the sides, so it’s probably inappropriate as a catch all term. That said, lots of people haven’t survived it, so I guess they could argue that those who didn’t die are the ones who survived.

That's my thinking really. If you got really sick from it, then you could rationally describe yourself as a survivor, but for the vast majority of people, it was scarcely worse than a heavy cold, and it's perverse to describe all of them as survivors.

 

On the study itself, I have most of those symptoms without ever having had covid! A study like that is worthless unless you compare it to the people who didn't get covid in the first place.
