Justin Trudeau acknowledges the unconstitutionality of his actions
“Regardless of the fact that we are attacking your fundamental rights or limiting your fundamental rights, and the [Canadian] Charter [of Rights and Freedoms] says that is wrong, we’re still going to go ahead and do it. It’s basically a loophole that allows a majority to override fundamental rights of a minority.”
Why would they want to in a democracy?
Well, that acknowledgment, Mr. Prime Minister, will certainly speed up the court proceedings. Thanks to Len.
Dr. Oz: It’s Time to ‘Remove’ Fauci
Jeremy Loffredo, The Defender, 12/13/21
(https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/dr-oz-remove-anthony-fauci/)
In an interview Saturday with the New York Post, Dr. Mehmet Oz, the medical entrepreneur and television host running for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, called for Dr. Anthony Fauci to be “removed” and “held accountable.”
“Dr. Anthony Fauci has lost the faith and confidence of the American people,” Oz told the New York Post. “It’s time for a new face talking to the American people, one that is more trusted.”
Oz referenced documents released by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in September contradicting claims Fauci made to the U.S. Congress that the NIH did not fund gain-of-function experiments — designed to make viruses more lethal and more transmissible — at the Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.
“I believe Anthony Fauci should be held accountable for misleading, whether willfully or unintentionally, the American public and the United States Congress,” Oz said.

NIH Director Collins Told Fauci There Needs to Be a ‘Quick and Devastating’ Takedown of Anti-Lockdown Declaration by ‘Fringe’ Harvard, Stanford, Oxford Epidemiologists: Emails
Staff, Resist the Mainstream, Dec 18, 2021
Newly exposed emails show outgoing National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Francis Collins commanding Dr. Anthony Fauci to carry out a “quick and devastating” takedown of a statement by public health experts calling for “focused protection” of the most vulnerable populations. Emails show that Fauci would indeed attack the declaration.
Infectious disease epidemiologists and public health scientists authored the Great Barrington Declaration, a document that argues against COVID-19 lockdowns that was released on Oct. 4, 2020.
“Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and long-term public health,” the declaration stated. “Keeping these measures in place until a vaccine is available will cause irreparable damage, with the underprivileged disproportionately harmed.”
“As immunity builds in the population, the risk of infection to all – including the vulnerable – falls,” the epidemiologists wrote. “We know that all populations will eventually reach herd immunity – i.e. the point at which the rate of new infections is stable – and that this can be assisted by (but is not dependent upon) a vaccine. Our goal should therefore be to minimize mortality and social harm until we reach herd immunity.”
More than 15,000 medical and public health scientists have allegedly signed the Great Barrington Declaration and over 45,000 medical practitioners have endorsed the document. The health advice in the Great Barrington Declaration was the complete opposite of what top U.S. public officials espoused.
Four days after the Great Barrington Declaration was released, Collins instructed Fauci and Clifford Lane — the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Deputy Director for Clinical Research and Special Projects — to engage in a “takedown” of the anti-lockdown declaration, according to emails.
The House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis obtained and released emails between the public health officials.
“This proposal from three fringe epidemiologists who met with the Secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention — and even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Leavitt at Stanford,” Collins wrote in an email sent on Oct. 8, 2020.
“There needs to be a quick and devastating takedown of its premises,” Collins wrote in reference to the Great Barrington Declaration.

Fauci responded to Collins’ direction by promoting a Wired U.K. article with the headline: “There is no ‘scientific divide’ over herd immunity.”
Phil Magness — senior research faculty and interim research and education director at the American Institute for Economic Research – noted that the Wired U.K. article from October 2020 stated that the Great Barrington Declaration is irrelevant because lockdowns are in the “past.”
The Fauci-endorsed Wired article is noteworthy for having one of the single worst hot-takes of the entire pandemic. It declared in October 2020 that the GBD should be ignored, because lockdowns were a thing of the past and would not be returning! https://t.co/o1nTEuO4tr pic.twitter.com/U3LtPK97zc

Fauci then shared an article from progressive The Nation titled: “Focused Protection, Herd Immunity, and Other Deadly Delusions.”
“But Kulldorff, Bhattacharya, and Gupta’s plan, enshrined as the Great Barrington Declaration unveiled at the American Institute for Economic Research this week, is not the way forward,” the article read. “If we’re going to build toward a new politics of care, it will be by relying on progressive principles of justice and equality—not some notion of the survival of the young and the fittest.”
Far from a scientific study refuting the GBD, Gonsalves’s article is a political op-ed attacking @Jacobin magazine for breaking “solidarity” with other far-left media outlets on lockdowns. Why? Because Jacobin ran an interview with @MartinKulldorff on how lockdowns hurt the poor. pic.twitter.com/0j85WlKiwY

Gregg Gonsalves — the author of The Nation article — reportedly emailed Collins to “thank” him for speaking out against the Great Barrington Declaration and for “doing it ‘undiplomatically.’” Gonsalves also agreed in calling the GBD epidemiologists “fringe.”
In the meantime, Gonsalves also gets in contact with Collins to volunteer his services (along with future @CDCDirector Rochelle Walensky) to attack the GBD in the media.
Collins approves, and forwards it to Fauci and a bunch of NIH underlings. pic.twitter.com/UJ2t7C18AA

Fauci attacked the Great Barrington Declaration during an ABC News appearance on Oct. 15, 2020.
“That declaration has a couple things in it that I think are fooling people, because it says things that are like apple pie and motherhood,” Fauci told ABC News. “A, we don’t want to shut down the country. I say that all the time. B, we do certainly want to protect the vulnerable.”
Collins described the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration as “fringe.”
The three “fringe” epidemiologists are Martin Kulldorff, Ph.D., an epidemiologist at Harvard University, Sunetra Gupta, Ph.D., an epidemiologist at Oxford University, and Jay Bhattacharya, MD, Ph.D., a professor and public health policy expert at Stanford University.
This is an excerpt from TheBlaze.
And, as if by magic, I receive an email today from the authors of the Barrington Declaration, discussed above:
Dear Friends,
From the depth of our hearts, a belated thank you for signing the Great Barrington Declaration. With over 850,000 signatures, together we opened up the pandemic debate. While many governments continued with their failed lockdown and other restrictive policies, things have moved in the right direction. For example, most schools have re-opened, most countries prioritized older people for vaccination and Florida rejected restrictions in favor of focused protection without the negative consequences that lockdowners predicted.
While occasionally censored, we have not been silenced. Since authoring the Declaration in October 2020, the three of us have actively advocated for focused protection through social media, op-eds and interviews on, for example, vaccine passports and natural immunity.
We have also launched Collateral Global, a charity staffed with academics from across the world to document and disseminate information about the collateral damage of the restrictive measures so that we don’t repeat the mistakes of this pandemic and are able to inform future policy with evidence and analysis. Collateral Global is crowdfunding so that this work can be done to the highest possible standards. You are welcome to join us and help us in those efforts at www.collateralglobal.org, as well as follow us on Twitter, etc. We are also planning an initiative on scientific freedom soon.
With enormous gratitude,
Jay Bhattacharya Sunetra Gupta Martin Kulldorff

Boeing Officially Drops Biden’s Vaccine MandateGlobal Research, December 20, 2021(https://www.globalresearch.ca/boeing-officially-drops-bidens-vaccine-mandate/5765040)
American multinational aircraft manufacturer and government contractor Boeing has issued a statement declaring that it will not enforce Joe Biden’s controversial and divisive COVID-19 vaccine mandate after a series of federal rulings have dealt the White House devastating losses.
Set to take effect on January 4, 2022, the mandate applied to nearly one quarter of the entire United States workforce, as the mandate targeted all companies that do business with the federal government such as Microsoft, Google, Lockheed Martin, and General Motors.
In a statement first obtained by Seattle-based KIRO, Boeing announced their intention to suspend the mandate.
“We continue to encourage our employees to get vaccinated and get a booster shot if they have not done so,” a Boeing spokesperson said.
Boeing employs over 140,000 workers across the United States, and is the second largest federal contractor in the country.
Being a federal contractor, Boeing was subject to an executive order from the Biden White House demanding that all of its employs be vaccinated.

Set to take effect on January 4, 2022, the mandate applied to nearly one quarter of the entire United States workforce, as the mandate targeted all companies that do business with the federal government such as Microsoft, Google, Lockheed Martin, and General Motors.
This latest vaccine mandate shutdown comes after Kentucky federal judge’s grant of a preliminary injunction involving a lawsuit in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio.
The Biden regime’s government contractor mandate sparked a vast flurry of federal lawsuits from Arizona, Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, and Georgia, which argued that the regime did not have the legal authority to require the experimental injections, and that any such mandate was in direct violation of the U.S. Constitution.
This marks the latest defeat to the Biden regime’s vaccination agenda, even as the vaccine is seemingly rendered useless by the spread of the Omicron variant.
