Dr. Tess Lawrie is a world class researcher and consultant to the WHO who has been an outspoken critic of the push to demonize early C-19 treatments. Recently she appeared with Dr. Aseem Malhotra, a British Cardiologist who went from being a vaccine advocate to calling for the suspension of the shots based on his detailed literature review.
There is no doubt now the vaccines are causing harm and that they lack sufficient efficacy to justify the risk. Trish talks to Dr. Joseph Fraiman about his recent paper exposing still more trouble.
An important university embarrasses itself, trashes its historic reputation and imperils its students by imposing dangerous vaccine mandates for the campus. Western University is an outlier and students who just recently got the news are pushing back hard against the school’s unscientific decision to require both boosters and masks. Trish speaks to Kendra Hancock, one of the students behind the movement against the policy and Bruce Pardy, a lawyer who specializes in issues of personal agency..
Part Two of Vaccines Past this Tipping Point focusses on children. In a troubling debrief, Dr. Eric Payne a paediatric neurologist with top notch international medical credentials and Deanna McLeod, a former pharma insider and clinical trial data expert make the case to “stop the shot” — especially for children.

We’ve reached a tipping point in evaluating the Covid-19 vaccines as still more studies indicate it is time to be worried - the efficacy is crashing and adverse reactions are gaining credibility. Also — excess death numbers began climbing when the jabs were mandated and although no one can make a direct link — the time has come to evaluate a possible connection. Trish speaks to a special panel — including former hedge fund manager Edward Dowd and investor Kelly Brown who both say the numbers are a significant, and independent researcher Jessica Rose who has been deep diving into the adverse reaction data.
We can't move ahead until we fully understand how the catastrophe of COVID-19 public policy gripped most Western countries. This week Trish is moderating the Canadian COVID Care Alliance Citizens’ Hearing and gathering evidence from witnesses who were harmed or somehow disenfranchised by public health policy. On this episode, Trish talks about the hearings, and replays some stories from the last two and a half years that expose how deeply we were wounded by bad public policies.
What would you do if someone offered you a million dollars to stow your beliefs and be quiet? Jennifer Sey turned down that offer. Sey who also lost her job as Brand Manager at Levis where she was on track for CEO. She was speaking out about the harms of school closures in during the C-19 lockdowns, a view that didn’t go over well with some of her left-leaning colleagues and a corporate culture devoted to unwavering fealty to increasingly politicized public health dictates. It’s a remarkable story of courage and resilience.
As world leaders who oversaw the biggest public health failure of our time try to change the channel, their critics are planning a massive audit of the harms they caused. Jeffrey Tucker, who facilitated the thoughtful, anti-lockdown Great Barrington Declaration is now committed to holding accountable governments who did massive damage to people and the world economy. Also, Trish on paying a personal price for a medical choice and a few more words about mass shootings.

Are the unvaccinated a threat to those who’ve been jabbed? A recent paper in the Canadian Medical Association Journal is creating a storm of controversy for making that claim amid criticisms of methodological flaws fuelling a major debate. Dr. Byram Bridle and Dr. Denis Rancourt join Trish to ponder a paper some say goes too far.
Trish has a new scoop on the Liberal government’s campaign against the truckers. Plus what do the Will Smith slap and Disney staff walkout over don’t say gay have in common? And a special guest in Dr. Joseph Fraiman, a Louisiana ER doctor who admits he was wrong in supporting lockdowns and has made an apology for it. He also got an exemption for the jab and is studying what might be going wrong with mass vaccination programs.
This week an important event in COVID-history exploded when a doctor apologized and admitted to the Great Barrington / focused protection signatories he’d been completely wrong in thinking about the pandemic. It was a lovely moment for Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, after nearly two years of abuse and smears that made him an outcast in some circles. The GBD plan is becoming widely accepted now that research is showing lockdowns did more harm than good.
What if all the modelling and projections about C-19, the ones driving extreme public health measures and fear were actually miscalculations by “experts” out of their depth and purposely slanted to the high side? Now Ana Cascon and William Shadwick, two accomplished mathematicians are speaking out, making a very strong case that seriously flawed models and the precautions based on them didn’t do much at all to actually slow the spread or even save lives. It is a shocking interview that will change the way you viewed the pandemic.
Canada’s truckers are becoming a stand-in for the world’s working class in what is shaping up to be an epic struggle with vaccine mandates standing in for many grievances. But powerful forces are lining up against the movement raising questions about the durability of democracy when the government is determined to put down dissent. Vaccine mandates may be a metaphor for a fiery struggle erupting in western democracies.
The truckers’ convoy is still gripping the world even as mandates are being rolled back in response. Jeffrey Tucker explains why the protests mean it's time for mass resignations from those responsible for ruining lives and economies with public health measures that failed to protect and divided citizens of every country. As restrictions fall in response to the protest, places like Ontario, Canada continue to cling to fear and groupthink exposing how politicized the “science” was from the beginning. Also, Travis Smith is moved by a visit to a convoy truck stop.
Brian Peckford was one of Canada’s statesmen who crafted our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
