Ontario's risible science table

RE: City eyes scrapping the shot requirement.  By Sebastian Bron, The Hamilton Spectator 19 Apr 22.

Hamilton city administration is finding its way towards good sense by scrapping the vaccine requirement for city staff.  They’re showing better sense than the risibly named Ontario “Science Table.”

The head of the table, Dr. Peter Juni, claimed at the beginning of April that Ontario was getting 100,000 to 120,000 Omicron infections per day, based on wastewater analysis, not the 2,000 per day then usually reported on the Ontario COVID website.  Juni also estimated that over 6 million Ontarians had been infected with Omicron since December.  The current wave has peaked, Juni said, based on the falling wastewater numbers.

What can a rational person conclude from what Juni said?  One could rationally conclude that the vaccine qua vaccine was a failure.  Omicron raced through the vaccine like it wasn’t there.  Vaccination didn’t stop most people from getting infected., based on Juni’s estimate.  The much hailed “booster” shot stopped nothing.  The lockdown and mask mandates utterly failed to stop the spread.  The actual danger of COVID was vastly overestimated.

Yet, Juni, irrationally, recommends that people continue to wear a mask! What??

Mask mandates are being scrapped everywhere in the U.S. because people recognize that they’re useless, harmful, were imposed without proper legal authority, and never had scientific justification in the first place.

Ontario has reached the point of exhaustion also.  “Wolf!” has been cried too often.  We have to get back to normal, and the city’s scrapping the shot requirement is a step in that direction.
