Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe offers an exit strategy for Canadian governments

Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe is the first Canadian leader to step out and address the massive Freedom Convoy protests taking place in Ottawa and large cities all over the country. In response Premier Moe has penned a letter pledging thanks to truckers and offering the protestors a reason to proclaim success. Without committing to an exact date, Moe says Saskatchewan will soon be dropping all vaccine mandates. He explains why that should happen, and why it won’t put residents at further risk. Here’s a copy of the letter being widely circulated online.

A Message from Premier Scott Moe

I want to start with a clear and simple message to every Saskatchewan and Canadian trucker, farmer and individual that has contributed to keeping our communities operating over the last two years:

THANK YOU!!!

THANK YOU for delivering the food and household products we all use every day, the parts and equipment that keep our farms and industries running, and every other kind of goods and products you can imagine.

If you bought something today, a trucker delivered it.

So, THANK YOU!

You also deserve a special thank you for everything you have done over the past two year, since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the early days of the pandemic, when we did not know much about COVID-19, we shut a lot of things down and asked most people to stay home. But not truckers. We asked you to keep working, despite the risk, because of how much we rely on you to keep our shelves stocked, our economy going and our communities open.

We asked truckers to do this because we needed you. We all rely on you. And what did you do?

Truckers stepped up and kept on hauling, they crossed provincial borders and they crossed the US border. You did this prior to rapid tests, prior to early intervention treatments and prior to vaccines. You took the necessary precautions, you kept yourselves and those around you safe, and you delivered the things the people in Saskatchewan needed to live.

I want to be clear on how I feel about vaccines. I am fully vaccinated with my booster shot. This did not prevent me from recently contracting COVID-19, but I believe it did keep me from becoming sick. in fact, I really had no symptoms at all, other than cabin fever from being stuck in my house for several days.

My experience was similar to many other vaccinated people. Vaccination does not keep you from contracting COVID-19, but it does prevent most people from becoming seriously ill. That is why I will continue to encourage everyone to get vaccinated, because I do not want any of you to become seriously ill.

That said, because vaccination is not reducing transmission, the current federal border policy for truckers makes no sense. An unvaccinated trucker does not pose any greater risk of transmission than a vaccinated trucker.

However, the current federal policy does pose a significant risk to Canada’s economy and to the supply chain in our Saskatchewan communities, where you and I live. This federal policy will increase the cost of living, which is now rising at a rate that is creating significant hardship for many Canadians.

That is why my government supports your call to end the cross-border ban on unvaccinated truckers and it is why, in the not-too-distant future, our government will be ending our proof of negative test/proof of vaccination policy in Saskatchewan.

Tulsi Gabbard says US funded ‘gain-of-function’ research at Wuhan lab at heart of COVID ‘leak’

By Conservative Treehouse

The director of National Intelligence revealed gain-of-function ties to US funding, which could indicate that the US helped bankroll the supposed COVID lab leak.

In this segment of a remarkable interview by Megyn Kelly, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard discusses the current Intelligence Community (IC) research into the origin of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic (aka, COVID-19).

Gabbard talks about the U.S. government funding of “gain-of-function” research, which is a soft sounding phrase to describe the weaponization of biological agents.

Gabbard notes the gain-of-function research taking place in the Wuhan lab was coordinated and funded by the United States government, and the IC is close to making a direct link between the research and the release of the COVID-19 virus.

Additionally, Gabbard explains the concern of other biolabs around the world and then gets very close to the line of admitting the IC itself is politically weaponized (which it is but would be stunning to admit).

Study finds Pfizer COVID vaccine poses 37% greater mortality risk than Moderna

A study of 1.47 million Florida adults by MIT’s Retsef Levi and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo finds significantly higher all-cause mortality after Pfizer vaccination compared to Moderna

A new study of 1.47 million Florida adults by MIT’s Retsef Levi and Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo finds significantly higher all-cause, cardiovascular, and COVID-19 mortality after Pfizer vaccination.

The study titled “Twelve-Month All-Cause Mortality after Initial COVID-19 Vaccination with Pfizer-BioNTech or mRNA-1273 among Adults Living in Florida” was just uploaded to the MedRxiv preprint server. This study was headed by MIT Professor Retsef Levi, with Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo serving as senior author:

Study Overview

Population: 1,470,100 noninstitutionalized Florida adults (735,050 Pfizer recipients and 735,050 Moderna recipients).
Intervention: Two doses of either:
- BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech)
- mRNA-1273 (Moderna)
Follow-up Duration: 12 months after second dose.
Comparison: Head-to-head between Pfizer vs. Moderna recipients.
Main Outcomes:
- All-cause mortality
- Cardiovascular mortality
- COVID-19 mortality
- Non-COVID-19 mortality

All-cause mortality

Pfizer recipients had a significantly higher 12-month all-cause death rate than Moderna recipients — about 37% higher risk.

Pfizer Risk: 847.2 deaths per 100,000 people
Moderna Risk: 617.9 deaths per 100,000 people
Risk Difference:
➔ +229.2 deaths per 100,000 (Pfizer excess)
Risk Ratio (RR):
➔ 1.37 (i.e., 37% higher mortality risk with Pfizer)
Odds Ratio (Adjusted):
➔ 1.384 (95% CI: 1.331–1.439)

Cardiovascular mortality

Pfizer recipients had a 53% higher risk of dying from cardiovascular causes compared to Moderna recipients.

Pfizer Risk: 248.7 deaths per 100,000 people
Moderna Risk: 162.4 deaths per 100,000 people
Risk Difference:
➔ +86.3 deaths per 100,000 (Pfizer excess)
Risk Ratio (RR):
➔ 1.53 (i.e., 53% higher cardiovascular mortality risk)
Odds Ratio (Adjusted):
➔ 1.540 (95% CI: 1.431–1.657)

COVID-19 mortality

Pfizer recipients had nearly double the risk of COVID-19 death compared to Moderna recipients.

Pfizer Risk: 55.5 deaths per 100,000 people
Moderna Risk: 29.5 deaths per 100,000 people
Risk Difference:
➔ +26.0 deaths per 100,000 (Pfizer excess)
Risk Ratio (RR):
➔ 1.88 (i.e., 88% higher COVID-19 mortality risk)
Odds Ratio (Adjusted):
➔ 1.882 (95% CI: 1.596–2.220)

Non-COVID-19 mortality

Pfizer recipients faced a 35% higher risk of dying from non-COVID causes compared to Moderna recipients.

Pfizer Risk: 791.6 deaths per 100,000 people
Moderna Risk: 588.4 deaths per 100,000 people
Risk Difference:
➔ +203.3 deaths per 100,000 (Pfizer excess)
Risk Ratio (RR):
➔ 1.35 (i.e., 35% higher non-COVID mortality risk)
Odds Ratio (Adjusted):
➔ 1.356 (95% CI: 1.303–1.412)

Biological explanations

The findings of this study are surprising, given that Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine contains approximately three times more mRNA (100 µg) than Pfizer’s BNT162b2 vaccine (30 µg). This suggests that the higher mortality observed among Pfizer recipients could potentially be related to higher levels of DNA contamination — an issue that has been consistently reported worldwide:

The paper hypothesizes differences between Pfizer and Moderna may be due to:

Different lipid nanoparticle compositions
Differences in manufacturing, biodistribution, or storage conditions

Final conclusion

Florida adults who received Pfizer’s BNT162b2 vaccine had higher 12-month risks of all-cause, cardiovascular, COVID-19, and non-COVID-19 mortality compared to Moderna’s mRNA-1273 vaccine recipients.

Unfortunately, without an unvaccinated group, the study cannot determine the absolute increase in mortality risk attributable to mRNA vaccination itself. However, based on the mountain of existing evidence, it is likely that an unvaccinated cohort would have experienced much lower mortality risks. It’s also important to remember that Moderna mRNA injections are still dangerous.

As the authors conclude:

These findings are suggestive of differential non-specific effects of the BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccines, and potential concerning adverse effects on all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. They underscore the need to evaluate vaccines using clinical endpoints that extend beyond their targeted diseases.
