Why is this not getting more news coverage?

Pretty sure most of us know why @rcleven. MSM have been bought and sold. I don’t trust anything they say and this is why I don’t watch. Simply put, MSM doin’ as they’re told.

The science doesn’t lie but people in white lab coats often do. This will end one day soon and then we can get on with worrying about the next “catastrophe” they throw our way :scream:. Cheers…

A snapshot of this weekend’s “official” figures from https://covid19.who.int/

These figures from WHO “might” be a little overstated and not forgetting it’s sad that people are dying, this “virus” (which is yet to be isolated) doesn’t seem all that scary to me. Obviously, others may think differently. Good to see the death rate is decreasing week by week. If you want your country added in, I’m more than happy to oblige.

It’s becoming too obvious, and too hard to ignore @Mikser.

I don’t think we’re that lucky mate.

How did the protests start?

COVID-19 vaccine mandates for cross-border truck drivers, imposed in January by Canada and the United States, angered some drivers. They started the “Freedom Convoy Canadian police seize fuel, remove oil tanker; court silences protesters' horns | Reuters” of trucks driving across Canada to Ottawa late in the month. The Canadian Trucking Alliance, an industry group, said it opposes protests on public roadways, however, emphasizing that most Canadian truckers are vaccinated. The protests have broadened to oppose restrictions more generally against unvaccinated people, although provincial governments control these, not the federal government.

(Reuters) - Horn-blaring demonstrations demanding an end to Canadian COVID-19 vaccine mandates for cross-border truck drivers have caused gridlock in the capital Ottawa since late January. The protests are now spilling to key Canada-United States border crossings and disrupting trade.

Copycat protests have also sprung up in Australia, New Zealand and France, while truckers in the United States have said they are planning similar demonstrations.

What impact are the protests having?

Two border blockades are disrupting hundreds of millions of dollars in Canada-U.S. trade https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-canada-trade-idCAKBN2KD2IW.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has refused to meet with protest organizers and moved to an undisclosed location outside Ottawa as the convoy arrived. He has since returned to Ottawa and said following public health measures is the best way to fight the pandemic.

The protests may have contributed to the opposition Conservative Party’s ousting of leader Erin O’Toole, Top Canadian opposition leader ousted in boost for PM Trudeau | Reuters who angered some Conservative legislators for initially distancing himself from the protests.

Some provinces, including Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec, have eased COVID-19 measures since the start of the protests, but denied a connection.

What are the authorities doing about the protests?

Canadian authorities are scrambling to end the Ottawa occupation, hoping a combination of criminal charges, traffic tickets and the prospect of losing access to fuel will end the blockades.

A court granted an interim injunction https://www.reuters.com/article/ca-health-coronaviurs-canada-trucking-idCAKBN2KD04N this week preventing people from sounding horns in downtown Ottawa.

Protesters say they are peaceful but some waved Confederate flags and swastikas in the occupation’s early days. Some Ottawa residents say they were harassed.

Police have generally avoided mass arrests and aggressive efforts to clear blockades, and Alberta police said they were unable to find local tow-truck operators willing to assist them.

Still fully vetting this one…

Today Illinois removed the indoor mask mandates. Governor is running for reelection in November. Wondering if he thinks people will forget between now and November.

Just be aware, that the removal of mask mandates are a part of their plan, as studies have been showing that vaccinated having Immune Deficiency Disorders, well, you know. It’s just a part of the plan I’d guess. If you need proof, watch the news… All of a sudden they’re pushing for more people to get checked for HIV and found a ‘super’ strain in NL…

IMO @anon44012888, it’s a sad state of affairs. Many people have already moved on from the masking the mandates, etc., and NOW, that elections/re-elctions are on the horizon, NOW we are seeing shifts.

It makes one wonder.

From all the science, even from the CDC, all people must and will catch COVID-19 before we can come out this crazy time. Once everyone has had it natural resistance will allow it to be treated much like the flu is treated.
