Torstar shilling for Ford?

RE: Ontario locked down, again

Call me an April Fool, but for me, the most interesting aspect of Ford’s latest lockdown is the compliance of the press.  No political figure is allowed to question the wisdom of Ford’s lockdowns without withering criticism from Ford and from the press chorus.  (‘Follow the science!” “You want grandma to die!” etc.)  It can only be the press, therefore, who can ask the emperor about his nudity.

In January, the Stanford University released a study which concluded that lockdown measures don’t contain the virus.  The W.H.O. advises against lockdowns.  Yet no reporter dares ask Ford’s experts why are Stanford University and the W.H.O. wrong and they’re right?

Reporters could also ask which lockdown measures work best, and which have been found to be worthless?  Why were outdoor activities curtailed in previous lockdowns?  And if Ford’s advisors don’t have studies backing up their position on lockdowns, how can they be “following the science” as opposed to going back to the same old well?

Reporters could ask why those who have been infected and recovered and those who have been vaccinated, in other words, those with immunity, suffering the same restrictions as those who have no proven immunity?  Why should people get vaccinated, again, when there is no upside?

And what about those studies showing that cloth masks are useless, no matter how many worn at a time.

I suppose this is the year Torstar turned into a supine shill for Conservative Doug Ford, once condemned as being Ontario’s Donald Trump.  (If only!!)

Perhaps COVID causes mental as well as physical afflictions.
