At long last, good sense

RE: Let’s get vaccinations back on track.  Op-ed by Dr. M. Mustafa Hirji.  The Hamilton Spectator 23 Sept 22.

It’s been months, if not years, since the Spectator ran a sensible op-ed about vaccines.  Dr. Hirji is calling for a rapid return to the vaccination of schoolkids, which was routine before the pandemic panic.

Recently, Dr. Anthony Fauci, 80, admitted that he knowingly chose to save great-grandma’s life in a manner that sacrificed the education and well-being of school-kids.  Canada’s spineless public health officials, afraid to think for themselves, went along with it, and routine school vaccination programs fell by the wayside.

A person can think that the COVID vaccines were useless, if not more dangerous than nothing, for people under 60, without being an “anti-vaxxer.”  But that reductionist cancellation was employed with a vengeance by the media and vested political interests against people who thought so.

I have no issue with routine school vaccinations, and I had great hopes for the COVID vaccines.  But when the data started coming in, I grew first disappointed and then alarmed.  When the full panoply of political screws were turned to suppress questions, I knew something was wrong.

By calling for a rapid return to routine vaccination programs, as Dr. Hirji does, one hopes that will lift the cloud put over COVID vaccine skeptics (or data readers) by the reductionist insults of ignorant media and shameless political interests.
