The Frontier Centre for Public Policy recently held a symposium reviewing and important new book  CANARY in a COVID WORLD: How Propaganda and Censorship Changed our (my) World, edited by C. H. Klotz (Canary House Publishing, 2023).

The COVID pandemic hit North America with disastrous consequences for both the health care systems and the civil liberties of individuals. The book focuses on these issues in the U.S., but there are several chapters written by Canadians showing that the Canadian situation was very similar to that in the U.S.

Canaries were once used in mines to detect the presence of dangerous gases that could escape and kill miners. These birds would sing until carbon monoxide and methane reached lethal levels, falling over dead before the miners were affected. This is a profound metaphor in the broad context of human affairs.

CANARY in a COVID WORLD is one of the most significant books today. Those of us who are still struggling to make sense of our experiences during these past few years are desperately searching for information that is authoritative and trustworthy. This book contains that information.

This newly published anthology of thirty-four essays by courageous critical thinkers, including several Canadians, is readily available. These authors risked their careers and reputations to tell the truth, and their reward was persecution and censorship. In some cases, their licenses to practice medicine were cancelled. In others, they were punished by ostracization. Despite all the hardships, the authors still tried to alert the public to the truth about both the COVID virus and the vaccines.

I had the pleasure of interviewing several of these authors on my GreyMatter podcast, including Professor Bruce Pardy, Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Robert Malone, Rodney Palmer, and Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, whom I am honoured to call a friend. They are all leaders in their respective fields: novelists, journalists, lawyers, judges, scientists, physicians, scholars, politicians, researchers, and vaccine-injured patients.

Their shared commitment in finding answers to the questions that trouble us about the COVID-19 pandemic has led them to contribute to this book. In doing so, they have soothed our fears and given us hope. They validated the opinions contradicting the mainstream media and government narratives and revealed that those who question the mob are neither ill-informed nor alone. These authors proved that the powerful elites do not own the truth, nor does repeating lies somehow eventually make them true.

The Covid-19 pandemic drew battle lines that persist today, so that even within families, it is risky to raise this subject in polite conversation. Often, people are so entrenched in their beliefs, that no data, facts, or expert opinions can change their minds. Their deeply ingrained views on lockdowns, vaccines, masking, or the way that future pandemics should be managed are almost impossible to change. This compilation offers hope, despite that the opinions were based upon heavily censored information that most legacy media, the current instruments of propaganda, would not touch.

This book includes diverse, thoughtful voices who share the common goal of awakening citizens to the reality of the situation. Today, critics of the handling of the pandemic have too often been silenced and punished. These authors offer their unique perspectives on the truth about the situation. The book is dedicated to the brave souls who defied aggressive propaganda and exposed the truth, informing and warning others about the totalitarian authorities and the ill-advised public health measures that have caused more harm than good. It is also dedicated to those who lost their lives due to COVID-19 and those who were injured and continue to suffer because they were denied the truth about the experimental vaccines.

Dr. Roger Breggin and his wife, Dr. Ginger Breggin, discuss their book, COVID-19 and the Global Predators: We are the Prey, showing for the first time, the master plan that was 10 years in the making by malevolent global predators before the pandemic. To reorganize the world under the guise of public health, billionaires, government agencies, and major pharmaceutical companies collaborated to lay the groundwork for what would become Operation Warp Speed. The Breggins exposed this, naming specific individuals and groups, and documenting their schemes. Many top medical and public health experts regard Breggin’s book as the most comprehensive content about those behind the measures seeking to crush individual freedoms and the economies of Western countries, such as the U.S., U.K., Australia, and Canada.

Another contributor, Dr. Robert Malone, recently published Lies My Government Told Me. When he invented the mRNA vaccine technology as a medical graduate student in the late 1980s, he could not have imagined that he would become a leader in a movement to expose the dangers of the vaccines received by billions of people, often without being informed of the risks.

Because of his opposition to the mainstream narrative, Dr. Malone has been censored by Big Pharma and vilified by the media. Nevertheless, he continues to speak out, alerting the world of the lies that we have been fed. From vaccine safety and effectiveness to early treatments like Ivermectin, lockdowns, and the ineffectiveness of masks, he has been a prominent dissenting voice in the COVID-19 debate. Dr. Malone calls upon us to resist being controlled by corporatist, totalitarian overlords.

Finally, a few paragraphs about another contributor, Dr. Peter McCullough, who has co-authored a recent book, The Courage to Face COVID-19: Preventing Hospitalization and Death while Battling the Bio-Pharmaceutical Complex. Dr. McCullough describes the story of doctors who developed safe and effective treatments for COVID-19, and their battle with pharmaceutical companies, who began searching for a cure when the pandemic hit in March of 2020. Dr. McCullough and his colleagues developed effective treatments using generic, repurposed drugs and supplements, saving millions of COVID-19 patients from hospitalization and death, and they did this by following the time-honoured principle that it is best to tackle an illness early before it becomes life-threatening. Despite this success, their efforts were unwelcomed and even rejected by public health officials and the media. Worse, the news of their promising results was dismissed as misinformation. Dr. McCullough and his colleagues soon found themselves censored and attacked in the media. Some were fired from their jobs.

The most salient victims of the smear campaign were the COVID-19 patients who were deprived of effective treatments. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people died needlessly of the disease. During the same time, governments and mainstream media claimed that the only cure for COVID-19 lay in the new mRNA vaccines developed during Operation Warp Speed. These vaccines, unfortunately, were heralded as a cure-all that would save humanity, but as Dr. McCullough shows, the vaccines were neither safe nor effective, and their administration to an unsuspecting populace caused seriously misguided policies and disastrous outcomes.

Once we see the power of censorship and propaganda directed at hiding the truth, we awaken to a new understanding. Only then will we begin to realize the depth of the corruption in our societal institutions: public health, politics, government, science, law, the media, and, of course, Big Pharma.

May we all heed the warning call of the CANARY in a COVID WORLD before it is too late.

WATCH: Big Pharma scientist admits COVID shot not ‘safe and effective’ to O’Keefe journalist

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Doug Mainwaring

‘None of that stuff was safe and effective. We didn’t do the typical tests,’ Joshua Rys of Johnson & Johnson said to one of James O’Keefe’s undercover journalists.

A lead scientist for a global pharmaceutical firm disclosed on hidden camera that his firm’s COVID-19 vaccine underwent rushed testing, lacked research, and admitted that, in direct contradiction to the Biden administration’s constant refrain, the drug was not “safe and effective.”

“None of that stuff was safe and effective. We didn’t do the typical tests,” said Joshua Rys, a lead regulatory affairs scientist for Johnson & Johnson (J&J), not realizing that he was being filmed by one of James O’Keefe’s undercover journalists.

Rys explained that normally a new drug undergoes an extended period of testing, including human trials, but the COVID-19 vaccine circumvented those safety measures in order to rush the product to the public.

“This was just, ‘Let’s test it on some lab-rat models, analyze and see if it works,” said Rys, “and just throw it to the wind and see what happens.”

“I’m sure somebody is going to get sued for that stuff, eventually,” he predicted.

“Do you have any idea [of] the lack of research that was done on those products?” asked the J&J lead scientist.

“People wanted it. We gave it to them,” said Rys.

O’Keefe later approached Rys to ask what led him to tell a total stranger that his product was not safe and effective, but Rys evaded O’Keefe and his probing. 

O’Keefe explained that the work of his O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) undercover journalists is crucial because, he claimed, up to 80 percent of the revenue cable and other news organizations derive from ads comes from Big Pharma.

Japan disposes $1.6 billion worth of COVID drugs nobody used

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Calvin Freiburger

The nation’s health ministry has already trashed 2 million doses of PaxlovidPACK and Lagevrio, and will dispose of 1.77 million doses of Xocova by the end of February 2026.

Japan is disposing of $1.6 billion worth of COVID-19 drugs that went unused and are now expired in a dramatic disconnect between government projections and reality.

The Japanese Broadcasting Corporation reported that the nation’s health ministry has already trashed 1.75 million patients’ worth of PaxlovidPACK and 780,000 patients’ worth of Lagevrio doses, and will dispose of 1.77 million patients’ worth of Xocova by the end of February 2026.

The government had been required by law to purchase enough oral COVID drugs for 5.6 million people, to be distributed free of charge through May 2023, at which point the virus was downgraded to the same threat level as normal seasonal influenza. But 2.5 million, a little under half the supply, remained unused by the time they hit their expiration dates.

The Star added that the value of the destroyed drugs is estimated to be roughly 240 billion yen, or 1.6 billion US dollars.

Across the world, governments took drastic action to counter the COVID pandemic, based in large part on exaggerated assumptions about the virus’s transmissibility and threat to non-elderly individuals without comorbidities. A large body of evidence has found that mass restrictions on personal and economic activity undertaken in 2020 and part of 2021 caused far more harm than good in terms of personal freedom and economics as well as public health, and that lives could have been saved through far less burdensome methods, such as the promotion of established therapeutic drugs, narrower protections focused on those most at risk (such as the elderly and infirm), and increasing vitamin D intake.

In Florida, the first report by a grand jury impaneled by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis determined that lockdowns did more harm than good, that masks were ineffective at stopping COVID transmission, that COVID was “statistically almost harmless” to children and most adults, and that it is “highly likely” that COVID hospitalization numbers were inflated.

Much like the controversial COVID vaccines, concerns were raised about the safety and effectiveness of COVID therapeutics such as Paxlovid and Lagevrio as well.

In May, former Japanese minister of internal affairs and communications Kazuhiro Haraguchi announced he had cancer, and said testing of the lesions linked it to spike proteins from the COVID-19 vaccine he had received two years before.
