LAUSD Still Requiring Students To Mask Up Despite State & County Mandate Being Lifted.

Even when California’s statewide mask rule for indoor public places expires, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) indicated it will keep its kids disguised, at least for the time being. This Monday is the first day that many California students will not have to wear a mask to school. However, due to agreements between the school district and its teachers’ union, an indoor mask rule remains in force for almost 600,000 LAUSD children. LAUSD, the nation’s second-largest public school district, said it is still working with partners, notably United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA), to develop a plan to move away from mask restrictions and instead “highly urge” wearing masks indoors. Any changes to the district’s health and safety regulations must be negotiated between the district and the union, according to a September 2021 agreement. In a statement, LAUSD Superintendent…

Quebec Study Finds That Policing Peaceful Non-Compliant Citizens Has No Effect On COVID Transmission.

The Quebec government has given tens of thousands of fines to citizens who have disobeyed the province’s pandemic regulations, but a new study suggests that this “punitive” approach does not necessarily decrease COVID-19’s spread. The report, published on March 10, found that “Québec chose to turn the public health issue into a public safety crisis, managed with 46,563 police interventions,” according to four researchers from the University of Montreal’s Profiling Observatory (l’Observatoire des profilages). “According to our findings, 46,563 statements of offence regarding health measures were issued between September 21, 2020, and October 3, 2021. During this time, police forces in Québec issued an average of over 123 statements of offence every day, according to the report. . Infractions linked to COVID-19 measures, such as gathering limits, curfews, mask mandates, and proof of vaccination, were investigated. The number of infractions…

USAF Lt. Col. Attributes Low Morale In The Ranks To Biden Admin Vaccine Mandates.

President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates, which require everyone employed by the federal government to get vaccinated or lose their job, have harmed morale for both military troops and contractors, according to Lt. Col. Adam Conrad of the United States Air Force (USAF). Conrad gave a bleak picture of the situation facing US Air Force members, who have been fearful of losing their jobs if they refuse to take the experimental CCP viral vaccination. Conrad, who requested that his name be altered to preserve his identity, remarked, “I’ve never seen morale that low.” Conrad, like many other military personnel, faces the possibility of losing his career if he refuses to take the CCP virus vaccine. Despite his relatively high position in the service, Conrad has submitted an exemption request and is not optimistic that it will be granted. Most servicemembers who…

Biden Administration Extends Public Transportation Mask Mandate.

Officials announced on March 10 that the federal government is extending the mask mandate for public transit. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said that the mandate would be extended in response to a recommendation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “TSA will extend the security order for mask wear on public transit and transportation hubs for one month, through April 18th, on the suggestion of the CDC,” the CDC and TSA said in separate releases. “During that period, the CDC will collaborate with government entities to develop a revised policy framework for when and under what conditions masks should be required in the public transportation corridor.” This new paradigm will be based on the COVID-19 community levels, the danger of novel variations, national data, and the most recent scientific findings. Any changes will be communicated publicly if…

Vancouver Coastal Health Officials Challenge Provincial COVID Measures That Seemingly Won’t Be Repealed.

In mid-February, a group of regional health officials in British Columbia cautioned the University of British Columbia that vaccine requirements, passports, and segregated lockdowns would cause more harm than good—advice that appears to contradict provincial health officer Bonnie Henry’s position. On Feb. 16, health officials from Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) wrote to University of British Columbia (UBC) President Dr. Santo Ono, urging the university to abandon its proposal to de-register students who did not reveal their COVID-19 vaccination status or comply with mandated testing. The letter, which was co-signed by VCH’s chief medical health officer, Dr. Patricia Daly, and three other medical officers, claimed that the Omicron variant has rendered two doses of the COVID-19 vaccines ineffective at preventing infection or transmission of the virus, though they are still effective at preventing severe illness. According to the letter, “there is…

The World Health Organization Changes It’s Stance Yet Again To Advocate For Boosters.

The World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday that it “highly endorses” the administration of COVID-19 booster doses, altering its earlier position that boosters were not required for fully vaccinated healthy persons. “Current COVID-19 vaccinations for primary series and booster doses,” according to the WHO’s new vaccine warning, give “high levels of protection against severe disease and mortality,” even in the context of Omicron’s spread. The WHO appeared to modify its prior position, in which it opposed the widespread use of booster injections and emphasized that it should be based on proof of individual and collective commitments to ensure global vaccination fairness. Last year, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebereyesus proposed for a freeze on booster injections for healthy individuals until the end of 2021 to address “deep disparity” in global vaccine access. “But for the time being, we don’t want to…

COVID Vaccines Could Be Inducing Enhanced Disease According To Dr. Robert Malone.

According to Dr. Robert Malone, COVID vaccinations may be generating increased sickness since they target an outdated type of the coronavirus. In a recent interview with The Epoch Times, Malone said, “The statistics reveal that immunization can actually raise the likelihood of being infected with the Omicron variant of this virus.” Malone was alluding to how people hospitalized with COVID-19 in some regions, such as Scotland and New Zealand, are more likely than not to have had a COVID-19 vaccine. Meanwhile, a recent study found that one dosage of a vaccination increased protection for persons recovering from COVID-19, but two or three doses seemed to reduce protection; the authors acknowledged they didn’t know why. Another study indicated that naturally immune people who weren’t vaccinated had better protection than those who were. Vaccine-associated enhanced illnesses (VAED), as well as a comparable…

3 LAPD Employees Terminated & Seven Pending For Peaceful Non-Compliance Of COVID-19 Vaccine Mandate.

Three Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers have been fired for failing to comply with the city’s requirement that they get vaccinated against COVID-19 or receive a religious or medical exemption, according to LAPD Assistant Chief Dominic Choi. Seven other employees are facing dismissal, and a total of 14 people—13 sworn and one civilian—have been found to be in violation of the immunization mandate, according to Choi. Approximately 83 percent of the department has been fully vaccinated, 0.4 percent has been partially vaccinated, and 16.2% has not been immunized. There are currently over 2,000 exemptions outstanding. People who have recently tested positive for COVID-19 are eligible for medical exemptions, which last for 90 days. City Councilman Joe Buscaino, who is running for mayor, said on Friday that he believes “it should be a question of personal choice and that we…

Canadian Banks Froze Accounts Based On Their “Own Determinations” & Beyond Canadian Police Provided List.

The Canadian Bankers Association told a parliamentary committee that during the public order emergency, its members froze Freedom Convoy protesters’ bank accounts not only to comply with RCMP disclosures, but also on “their own determinations.” “We primarily relied on the names provided by the RCMP,” Angelina Mason, general counsel and vice-president of the Canadian Bankers Association (CBA), testified before the Finance Committee on March 7. “There were obligations under the order separate from that, that required banks to make their own determinations,” she said. Mason stated that banks did not depend on leaked lists of convoy contributors’ information. Around Feb. 13, the crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo, which had raised over $10 million for the Freedom Convoy, was hacked, and the donor information was published to several media sources. “What banks were required to do, however, was to monitor their accounts using…

Natural Immunity to COVID-19 Detected at 20 Months After Infection.

Researchers discovered protection against COVID-19 among the recovered at 20 months after infection, adding to the growing body of data that such protection, known as natural immunity, is long-lasting. Antibodies to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein receptor-binding domain (RBD) were discovered in 99 percent of study subjects who tested positive for COVID-19, with some having been sick for as long as 20 months. In the fall of 2021, the researchers, lead by Dr. Dorry Segev, director of Johns Hopkins University’s Epidemiology Research Group in Organ Transplantation, issued a call for unvaccinated, healthy people and separated them into three groups. The first group included 295 people who had previously tested positive for COVID-19; the second included 275 people who thought they had recovered from COVID-19 but didn’t get tested; and the third included 246 people who didn’t think they had COVID-19 but…
