Dr. Yeadon has argued that the health crisis was essentially over by the summer of 2020 and that the time had come to turn the page and end the campaign driving viral hysteria. From Dr. Yeadon's thesis flowed the interpretation that vaccines for COVID-19 are not only unneeded but are hazardous as well. He has asserted
There is absolutely no need for vaccines to extinguish the pandemic. I've never heard such nonsense talked about vaccines. You do not vaccinate people who aren't at risk from a disease. You also don't set about planning to vaccinate millions of fit and healthy people with a vaccine that hasn't been extensively tested on human subjects.
In early December of 2020 Dr. Yeadon and Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg introduced a petition demanding a halt to the vaccine regime about to be imposed on Europe. In explaining his position Dr. Yeadon wrote, "I think the PCR test at present is throwing up so many false positives that in fact we're misdiagnosing the cause of deaths which are being reported. The number of deaths is normal for this time of year."
The gross inflation of so-called "case" rates has been mirrored by the inflation of death rates. These inflated death rates have largely been produced by simply reporting the regularly high rate of deaths in nursing homes as COVID deaths. In Canada over 80% of COVID deaths have been nursing home deaths.
Elderly people in nursing homes typically have various forms of illness and infirmity. When nursing home patients died in Canada throughout 2020 they were most frequently counted as having passed away from COVID-19 rather than with COVID-19. Even the Center for Disease Control in the United States, the CDC, acknowledged that "for 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause of death mentioned." The other 94% of recorded deaths were, in fact, deaths that came about from a combination of "comorbidities" averaging 2.9 interrelated causes.
It seems that those counting the COVID death rates during the winter of 2020-21 may in fact be exaggerating the numbers by counting flu and cold deaths as COVID mortalities. The colds and influenza infections that proliferate every autumn often arise from coronavirus infections. The larger global picture is that the worldwide rate of deaths has not been significantly altered throughout this year of the WHO-declared pandemic.
Dividing Albertans to Promote Viral Hysteria
The treatment of Ocean Wiesblatt was part of a series of actions by the Calgary police that prompted Theoren Fleury to pose some deeper questions about the real nature of the viral hysteria. Fleury was a prominent member of the Calgary Flames NHL Hockey Team in the 1990s. Fleury is well known for charging a hockey coach with sexually molesting him during his younger years. In commenting on the role of Calgary's Hockey Police, Fleury wrote,
This is not a good look for Calgary Police but thank you for waking people up to what's actually going on. This is no longer about a virus and this [assault of Ocean Wiesblatt] is a perfect example of why it isn't.
Fleury is far from alone in his observation that issues other than those of public health are driving the viral hysteria. This perspective informs the understanding of a commenter quoted by CBN News. CBN advertises itself as a journalistic venue advancing "the Christian perspective." A commenter asserts,
