Pepperj, I'm not sure how you guys do it in Canada but here in the U.S. when a $5,000 fine is issued it is personally delivered to the recipient by a man with a gun, an armed representative of the state. Who do you Canadians send? Rocky the Flying Squirel perhaps?

Using armed men to force people to wear masks is downright offensive IMO.

I hope everyone enjoyed having the freedom to discuss whether to wear a mask or not because that freedom is gone.

It's come down to this......

Hanging in there my friend. It sure is getting crazy!
I work for elderly people and this 85 year old retired nurse told me the other day that she will not take the vaccine (when it's ready) because there will be microchips in it and it will ruin your health drastically.

My jaw dropped and I was thinking "Hey, I'm supposed to be the conspiracy theorist around here!" :laughing7:
But hey, what would a retired nurse know about vaccines?

I could make a strong argument that mask conformity is not a faith in science, but a faith in secular humanism and therefore without supporting science the "maskers" are a religious group.

But out of respect for forum rules I won't do that. :thumbsup:

Gee a screen shot of their website-notice the dates Sept 25 for information?
View attachment 1866435
Now look at the pretty picture and read the caption. Here is the actual link also-if doubt creeps in that it's not from their site.
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/whats-new-all.html

Maybe this info might wake you up.....read and think about when they knew this was coming. The planned demic. Why..for what reason did they do this? And...should we trust what they tell us?

Posting something up that was released in may is of little value now at the end of September.
Even our own health minister wasn't convinced about wearing a mask then-but times have changed, and will continue to change.
Things are turning yellow and orange again-if the young ones don't smarten up it'll be a red zone lock down again.
I'm good at playing hermit-no problem.

PepperJ,
The posting of the May document, was showing that Covid 19 test kits were acquired by many countries back in 2018.

It shows evidence of PLANNED pandemic for COVID.
No big deal ?

Fact check: World Bank website does not show COVID-19 testing kits were purchased in 2017 and 2018

By Reuters Staff

September 9, 2020


Social media users are sharing posts claiming the World Bank’s website shows that COVID-19 testing kits were purchased in 2017 and 2018, implying prior knowledge of the outbreak. This is false: the World Bank explained the products had only been relabelled with COVID-related descriptions in April 2020. Prior to that, the products had been listed since 2017, but not in relation to the pandemic.

The posts, shared thousands of times on Facebook and Twitter ( here , here , here ), say “World Bank website shows COVID-19 testing kits purchased by countries in 2017 and in 2018. I have verified that this is in fact posted on the World Banks World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS) website” or “World Bank exporting COVID-19 Testing Kits in 2018?

The text is accompanied by screenshots from the World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS) website, which is a joint initiative by organizations including the World Bank, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) to track trade data by product through Harmonized System (HS) codes.

The screenshots show web pages entitled “COVID-19 Test kits (382200) imports by country in 2017” or “COVID-19 Test kits (300215) exports by country in 2018” with a detailed list broken down by country where the product description is “COVID-19 Test kits” and the year is listed as 2018 or 2017.

Archives of these webpages from Sept. 4-6, 2020, show that the WITS website did have “COVID-19” in the product description for three product codes for imports and exports dated to 2017 and 2018. The HS codes 300215 and 382200 were classified as “COVID-19 Test kits” ( see tinyurl.com/y4t5ncbs , tinyurl.com/y5tpy72b , tinyurl.com/yyyqeh7e , tinyurl.com/y292cadw ) and the product code 902780 was described as “COVID-19 Diagnostic Test instruments and apparatus” ( see tinyurl.com/y3z82p2m , tinyurl.com/yy5yfeqz ).

The World Bank told Reuters that these products and product codes predate COVID. They have been used since 2017 - not in relation to COVID-19 but labelled “in much more technical terms that did not mention COVID”.

In April 2020, the products were relabeled amid the pandemic and the WITS updated its product descriptions accordingly, including those attached to the data from 2017 and 2018, even if the products had not been used in relation to COVID-19 at the time.

The World Bank said, “In April, given the newfound importance of these products in diagnosing and treating COVID-19, the WHO and the World Customs issued a list ( here , here ) of these key products to make it easier to track them—assigning COVID-related descriptions/labels to each of them. For the same reason (to facilitate easier tracking), the WITS team created a special section using this list (as well as the new WHO/WCO labels/descriptions).”

However, as of Sept. 7, 2020, the COVID-related product descriptions no longer appear on the WITS website pages screenshotted in the Facebook posts. The World Bank told Reuters that in light of misinterpretations, they decided to change the labels again “to make it clear that these were products that predated COVID-19.”

As of Sept. 7, on the WITS website 382200 and 382200 now have the product description “Medical Test kits”( here , here ) and 902780 is “Medical Diagnostic Test instruments and apparatus”(here).

To help avoid the misunderstanding, a disclaimer has been added to the WITS site that says: “The data here track previously existing medical devices that are now classified (here) by the World Customs Organization as critical to tackling COVID-19.”

VERDICT

FALSE. The products and product codes shown in the screenshots of the WITS website have been used since 2017 but not in relation to COVID-19. The product descriptions on the website were updated with COVID-related labels in April 2020. Due to misinterpretation, WITS then reverted the product descriptions around Sept. 7, 2020 to clarify the products predated COVID-19.

You're very welcome, Facebook Warriors tend to create their own alternate universe and need a lot of fact checking.

In Reality, there are 2 very important FACTS to remember here.

1) The Previous Administration created the Pandemic Preparedness Office in the National Security Council in 2016 (the White House National Security Council Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense, to prepare for future Pandemics), a subject He and several other Senators had been advocating for since 2005. It was the Previous Administration who initiated the purchase of important testing supplies ahead of ANY possible widespread pandemic. This office then carried over into the Present administration in 2017.

2) In May of 2018 the Present Administration disbanded it.


If this office had still been in place, our nation would have begun to prepare a coherent Federal Response to the COVID-19 epidemic early in January. Instead we suffered a total absence of Federal leadership (actually, a complete Refusal to Accept Responsibilty after clearly, in His Own Words, being informed of the dire consequences); turning a Crisis into a Catastrophe.

A real life case of locking the barn door after the cows had gotten out.

And a perfect example of choosing to Wear a Blindfold, but not a Mask.

I feel like I should ask, are you under the impression that the cv-19 pandemic was NOT a planned event ahead of time?
I’m not trying to pick a fight, just asking the question.

I'm surprised this post is even up still people aren't going to agree and it does create a lot of unnecessary tension for this community. I honestly think no matter what the virus wasn't going to be controlled by any president here in the USA. Next I still think the virus here in the USA was used for political means. I wish I had the data the doctor here I know that shows the numbers are not being counted correctly and purposly they are making it look worse then it is. Yes I'm aware the virus spreads easier and can be dangerous for those at risk and in some case even leave lasting effects on healthy people. Still same stands for any virus and even the common cold can do the same just doesn't spread as easy. From day one I've lived my life as I always do and yup still alive and healthy I though watch whom I'm around and what not as to not put other at risk in danger. Still as I've said many times I get certain places need to be protected and have masks pushed while everything else should be up to the individual to protect themselves we all know the possible dangers of the virus so if the individual is worried about it you have the power to protect yourself should you choose to. I really don't think it is others jobs to protect the individual in a case like this.

I am not Ol'Kentuck, but I for one DO NOT BELIVE cv-19 was in any way a PLANNED event!
