BREAKING - There is NO scientific basis for a 5-day isolation period
Taiwan tracked 23 of 59 imported Omicron more than 5 days after symptom onset.
Of these, 17 did not have a low enough viral load to stop isolating until at LEAST 8 days after isolating.
One case took 12 days.
The fully unvaccinated make up 25% of Ontario’s population, but account for 93% of its ICU utilization.
And some people still wonder why we have vaccine passports.
Today’s positivity rate in Ontario is more than quadruple what it was exactly one year ago.
We weren’t talking about removing masks last year at this time… So why now?
With today’s news that the unvaccinated transmit 2 cases for every 1 transmitted by the fully vaccinated, the “vaccines don’t work” and “passports are useless” narrative came crashing down HARD.
They’re mad.
Get ready for it.
If
@fordnation
removes vaccine passes from restaurants, it will be THE death blow to the dining industry.
No way will you catch me venturing in to another restaurant for quite some time.
Yesterday’s $500,000,000 cut to Ontario schools amounts to:
- $103,000 per school
- $245 per student
Special thanks to
@fordnation
and
@Sflecce
for showing how much you truly care about education in Ontario.
If you’re upset about today’s announcement, please re-direct your anger and advocate for a safe September.
This includes full vaccination of teaching staff and students, mental health supports, proactive testing, access to better masks, etc.
Our students deserve it.
If an indoor dining establishment does not continue with vaccine passports beyond March 1st, they’ve lost my business.
Retweet if this is your position too.
I have booked my AstraZeneca shot for tomorrow.
And I’d encourage all Ontarians 40+ to do the same.
What scientific data informed my decision?
🧵 A THREAD 🧵
…1/8
As someone who was consulted on the Science Table / SickKids guidelines I can tell you with 100% certainty:
@Sflecce
did NOT listen.
In fact, the only details he cherry-picked from our document were ones that don’t cost him a dime and allow hygiene theatre to be perpetuated.
You may not agree with all my takes, but I will do everything in my power to help eradicate COVID.
I can’t wait until the night I can go to bed before 1:00 because people across Canada aren’t relying on me to provide the data and analysis that their Government fails to provide.
BREAKING - Study confirms individuals who are unvaccinated are 1.4 to 2.0 times MORE likely to TRANSMIT COVID-19.
This includes BOTH Delta and Omicron variants.
@fordnation
is removing vaccine passports to cater to the 8% who are staunchly against keeping OTHERS safe.
One year ago, with 66000 tests conducted, Ontario announced just 1007 cases.
Today, we are seeing 2400+ cases off a pathetic 21000 tests.
Only those completely ignorant of data would contemplate removing masking at this time.
⭐️⭐️ BREAKING NEWS ⭐️⭐️ The Ontario lockdown from December 26th is OFFICIALLY working. Only 6 of 34 public health units with an Rt above 1.0. Only one higher than 1.1!
This Wednesday will tell us the impact of last week’s lockdown.
Ontario is looking to take isolation advice from a country that has 26% of the world’s daily COVID-19 cases but just 4% of its population.
Our Province truly is this stupid.
⭐️⭐️ BREAKING NEWS ⭐️⭐️:
@WesternU
students, staff and faculty will be required to demonstrate proof of vaccination.
They join
@uOttawa
and
@SenecaCollege
as higher education institutions making higher education decisions.
What’s taking so long
@uofg
?!?
Looks like
@fordnation
is now considering mandatory vaccination education workers!!
Retweet and like this to show him and
@Sflecce
how important this is for a safe September.
To employers and those running vaccination clinics: Please don’t make someone take off their N95 and replace it with your inferior PPE. This is just plain stupid.
Why have ZERO members of the media done a story on the whereabouts of Minister Lecce?
He’s been completely absent for the entire week at such an important time in Ontario education.
THIS is the story Ontario parents and educators want. Not a blind recital of his talking points.
80% of people in Ontario 12+ have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
So why are we letting the remaining 20% dictate our recovery process?
#vaccinecertificates
Dr. Alanna Golden, who wrote a letter begging for all students to return to in person learning, ONLY does virtual visits.
Is anything more hypocritical?
@cristina_CP24
I have received the most personal attacks ever this week after I put this analysis out: CLOSING SCHOOLS REDUCES TRANSMISSION RATES.
I apologize to those recklessly advocating for schools to reopen that this analysis doesn’t fit your narrative.
Maybe it’s time to revise?
In New York, the Governor has distributed 2,000,000 rapid antigen tests to New York City schools in preparation for January 3rd.
In Ontario, Minister Lecce has distributed five dozen Italian pastries to various high-end King City retirement homes.
Imagine how strong it would be if, on Tuesday,
@AndreaHorwath
,
@StevenDelDuca
, and
@MikeSchreiner
came together and held a joint press conference alongside a handful of advocates who have also been fighting for safe schools.
Politics aside, our kids deserve to be safe at school.
EFFECTIVE AUGUST 16th:
- Albertans who test positive for COVID-19 NO longer have to isolate
Contact tracing ends tomorrow, and ONLY those with SERIOUS cases of COVID-19 will be eligible for testing beginning September 1st.
What. The. Actual. Hell.
Why have only 41% of Ontario educators been vaccinated compared to 65% of the adult population?
Because Ontario chose not to prioritize their vaccination.
Schools are only essential when it’s convenient.
Cancel March Break in Ontario to reduce Covid transmission?
Maybe we should also force teachers to teach on Friday and Saturday nights to reduce drinking and driving.
Ridiculous that the Ontario Government is releasing NO data on December 25, 26, 27, and 28th.
We’ve NEVER had four days of no data before…
And at a time with record high cases.
Typical Government mismanagement.
Premier Ford introduced vaccine passports when positivity was 3.2% and 289 people were hospitalized.
Now
@fordnation
talks about removing them with 1700 people in the hospital and positivity of 11.2%.
And NO PCR testing.
Amazing to see need ALL 4 teachers unions on record calling for the mandatory vaccination of ALL staff working in schools.
What’s your excuse now
@Sflecce
for not implementing this? Time to step it up.
Hats off to

I’m sorry, but why is any media organization reporting that the Brampton mayor wants Ontario to set a date to end masks in schools?
He’s a municipally elected figure with ZERO experience in science or public health.
Funny how almost no Canadian media have mentioned that the Ottawa Protest is highly linked to deep-pocketed non-Canadian donors and prominent U.S. right-wing political figures.
That requires journalism.
Ontario schools have been closed for 3.5 months. What has the Government and the Ministry of Education done in that time? Why do we still not have a back to school plan?
If you’ve been fighting for schools to open as “essential” and you’re now arguing that school staff can wait for a vaccine ‘like everyone else’, you’re the problem.
WHY VACCINATE A 5 TO 11 YEAR OLD?
1. Keep schools open.
2. Keep COVID out of the home and away from close family.
3. Protect the immunocompromised.
4. Break the last big link in community transmission.
5. Reduce the amount of long COVID we see in kids.
Let me be VERY clear: I want schools to re-open.
But sending students back to school:
- without FREE access to N95s
- 3 times a week MANDATORY antigen testing
- without CLOSED cafeterias AND
- MANDATORY vaccination for extracurriculars
…is reckless and negligent.
@Sflecce
To all the amazing education workers out there: Thanks for what you do for our children.
You have been superheroes during this pandemic.
Despite the lack of recognition, please know that Ontario loves and respects all that you’ve done.
Stay safe and rest up.
You’ve earned it.
When this pandemic is done, we, as a society, must hold accountable those who ignored the vaccine prioritization schedule and intentionally pushed to the front of the line those who didn’t belong there.
People have died because of this selfishness.
We must not forget.
143 Florida kids in the hospital with COVID-19.
But here in Ontario, we like to pretend that kids aren’t affected - and reflect this with a junky return to school plan.
There’s a reason Ontario is reopening without reinstating PCR testing:
When you test, you find cases.
And showing that we are still at 10,000+ cases per day would shoot down the Government narrative as to how far we’ve come.
It’s election day in Canada.
And I’m a data guy.
So to remind you: Polling results have significant error margins, and they don’t properly represent all of Canada.
Do NOT stay home and avoid voting because your party is behind or in front in the polls.
⭐️⭐️ BREAKING NEWS ⭐️⭐️ Ontario schools are moving online following spring break for an indefinite period of time.
But let’s be clear: “April Break” isn’t the problem like
@fordnation
claims.
It’s our schools.
Will this FINALLY be the week that one of Ontario’s 72 school boards takes a stand and mandates vaccinations for their workers and students?
Trustees and Senior Admin: WHERE ARE YOU?
Well, well, well: Appears that Ontario MPP
@randyhillier
MAY have pulled a
@samoosterhoff
and gathered over the Christmas holidays.
Hope “Premier Dad” looks in to WHEN this photo was taken and acts appropriately. This looks like $750 x 15...
⭐️⭐️ BREAKING NEWS ⭐️⭐️ The Cornwall school shut down last week was due to a case brought in from an unvaccinated staff member. School then reopened. Today, more classes at this school sent home.
We need vaccines mandated in all staff NOW.
Delaying Ontario’s lockdown until December 26th is the same logic as waiting until the day after Christmas to break up with someone just so you can get a present. 🎁
@fordnation
Imagine looking at this data from March 19th and concluding, “We need to loosen restrictions.”
So YES: The blame is FULLY on
@fordnation
for where Ontario is right now.
On August 9th, Americans can travel to Canada.
But Canadians can’t travel to the USA.
USA has 13x our number of cases per capita, a lower vaccination rate, and an Rt of 1.72.
@JustinTrudeau
/
@CanadianPM
: The only word for this is dumb.
Setting a date for mask removal before setting a date for the return of PCR testing is irresponsible.
Doug Ford and Kieran Moore know this.
They’re hoping you don’t.
LET’S BE TOTALLY CLEAR: “Hybrid teaching”, where a teacher teaches online and in-person simultaneously, ONLY benefits school board administrators and administration.
Students, teachers, parents, and society all suffer when school boards choose “fractured learning.”
RAPID TESTING IN SCHOOLS
The media is all over it. The Government is getting defensive.
We are at the finish line.
Call your MPP and email your trustee.
Let’s do this Ontario!!
So you want the freedom to choose to turn down a life-saving vaccine, but we don’t have the freedom to choose to exclude you from high-risk activities?
To those who have screamed and yelled for the last year, “Schools are safe! They don’t drive transmission!”
Here’s an acknowledgement from the Ontario Government that INDEED:
1. Schools are a MAJOR source of outbreaks;
2. Reopening schools DOES lead to an increase in cases.
BREAKING -
@tdsb
Central and Administrative Staff will work 100% remotely in February and just 40% in person in March.
Schools are safe for 1,000 students and educators, but their administrative buildings aren’t?
Hypocrites.
Schools can’t open on January 17th with no PCR testing and a five-day isolation period NOT supported by science.
Wake the heck up
@fordnation
and
@Sflecce
.
While Doug Ford and his caucus of clowns claim Ontario is in recovery mode, a reminder that Dr. Peter Juni said Ontario had between 15,000 to 20,000 COVID cases… TODAY.
BREAKING - Educators in multiple Ontario school boards are being told that students who log in from home to a virtual class platform MUST be marked present.
In other words, “absenteeism” will NOT be tracked.
This is what accountants call, “Cooking the books.”
Tennis star Djokovic tested positive for COVID on December 16th.
He then, unmasked, handed out awards at a December 17th youth event.
He also, unmasked, attended a photoshoot on the 18th.
And we are supposed to trust an exemption from this professional athlete? 🤦♂️
