AHS has made public today’s Covid-19 report and here’s what’s happening people.
The Central Zone has had an increase of only 19 cases since yesterday. Along with 25 recovered individuals that results in 441active cases, 6 fewer than yesterday total. Of those 441 cases I’m happy to say that none are in ICU, in fact only 4 are in hospital. (None of those in RDRH)
In our wonderful city of Red Deer, just 1 new case! We have also had 12 new recoveries bringing our number of active cases down to 105 from 116 yesterday.
It’s a baby step, but a step in the right direction!
Keep up the good work, please encourage everybody in your circle of friends and family to be considerate of others. 😷 šŸ‘
I also have a correction regarding the latest casualty of the Covid-19 virus that I informed everyone of yesterday. I reported the gentleman was from the Wainwright area when in fact he was from the Kneehill/Drumheller
district.
My apologies

Nearly Half of ā€œCOVID-19 Deathsā€ Were Not Due to COVID-19 – Scientific Reports Journal

Published on

FOCAL POINTS (Courageous Discourse) Nicolas Hulscher, MPH's avatarĀ Nicolas Hulscher, MPH

45.3% of ā€œCOVID-19 deathsā€ in Greece had no symptoms — exposing the coordinated PSYOP deployed to maximize fear and enforce mass compliance with draconian control measures.

The study titled ā€œDeaths ā€œdue toā€ COVID-19 and deaths ā€œwithā€ COVID-19 during the Omicron variant surge, among hospitalized patients in seven tertiary-care hospitals, Athens, Greeceā€ was just published in the journalĀ Scientific Reports:

Abstract

In Greek hospitals, all deaths with a positive SARS-CoV-2 test are counted as COVID-19 deaths. Our aim was to investigate whether COVID-19 was the primary cause of death, a contributing cause of death or not-related to death amongst patients who died in hospitals during the Omicron surge and were registered as COVID-19 deaths. Additionally, we aimed to analyze the factors associated with the classification of these deaths. We retrospectively re-viewed all in-hospital deaths, that were reported as COVID-19 deaths, in 7 hospitals, serving Athens, Greece, from January 1, 2022, until August 31, 2022. We retrieved clinical and laboratory data from patient records. Each death reported as COVID-19 death was characterized as: (A) death ā€œdue toā€ COVID-19, or (B) death ā€œwithā€ COVID-19. We reviewed 530 in-hospital deaths, classified as COVID-19 deaths (52.4% males; mean age 81.7 ± 11.1 years). We categorized 290 (54.7%) deaths as attributable or related to COVID-19 and in 240 (45.3%) deaths unrelated to COVID-19. In multivariable analysis The two groups differed significantly in age (83.6 ± 9.8 vs. 79.9 ± 11.8,Ā p = 0.016), immunosuppression history (11% vs. 18.8%,Ā p = 0.027), history of liver disease (1.4% vs. 8.4%,Ā p = 0.047) and the presence of COVID-19 symptoms (p < 0.001). Hospital stay was greater in persons dying from non-COVID-19 related causes. Among 530 in-hospital deaths, registered as COVID-19 deaths, in seven hospitals in Athens during the Omicron wave, 240 (45.28%) were reassessed as not directly attributable to COVID-19. Accuracy in defining the cause of death during the COVID-19 pandemic is of paramount importance for surveillance and intervention purposes.


Key Findings:

Massive Overcounting of COVID-19 Deaths

  • Out of 530 hospital deaths registered as COVID-19 deaths,Ā only 290 (54.7%) were actually caused by COVID-19.
  • 240 deaths (45.3%) were found to be completely unrelated to COVID-19 — patients diedĀ withĀ a positive PCR test, but showed no symptoms, required no COVID-specific treatment, and died of clearly unrelated causes.

Death Certificate Inaccuracy

  • Of the 204 certificates listing COVID-19 as the direct cause of death,Ā only 132 (64.7%)Ā were confirmed as such after clinical review.
  • Of the 324 certificates listing COVID-19 as a contributing factor,Ā only 86 (26.5%)Ā were found to be truly related.

Hospital-Acquired Infections Misclassified

  • Patients infectedĀ during hospitalizationĀ were significantly more likely to be misclassified as COVID-19 deaths (OR:Ā 2.3,Ā pĀ = 0.001).

Younger Age and Severe Comorbidities Associated with Misclassification

  • Patients who died ā€œwithā€ COVID-19 were younger, more likely to be immunosuppressed, have end-stage liver disease, or be admitted for other causes.

Symptoms and Treatments Differed Sharply

Patients who diedĀ ā€œdue toā€Ā COVID-19 were more likely to:

  • Exhibit classic symptoms:Ā hypoxia (44.1%),Ā shortness of breath,Ā fever, andĀ cough
  • RequireĀ oxygen supportĀ (93.4% vs. 66.9%) and receive COVID-specific therapies:
    • RemdesivirĀ (5-day course: 61.9% vs. 35.2%)
    • DexamethasoneĀ (81.7% vs. 40.7%)

Study Strengths

This study went far beyond death certificate coding, implementing a rigorous, multi-source clinical audit:

  • Full medical chart reviews: Included physician notes, lab data, imaging, and treatment records.
  • Attending physician interviews: Structured questionnaires captured real-time clinical insights from those who treated the patients.
  • Dual independent expert assessments: Two experienced infectious disease specialists (each with >2,500 COVID cases) reviewed each case independently for classification accuracy.

This study found that nearly half of all registered COVID-19 deaths during the Omicron wave in Greece were misclassified, with no clinical evidence linking them to COVID-19 as the true cause. Given that similar death coding practices were employed across Western nations, it is reasonable to conclude that COVID-19 death counts were artificially inflated to a comparable degree elsewhere.

This drastic inflation of death counts aligns with what many now understand to be a coordinated psychological operation (PSYOP)—designed to instill fear and maximize compliance with draconian pandemic measures such as lockdowns, mask mandates, and mass mRNA injection campaigns.

It is this weaponization of fear that has promptedĀ criminal referrals in seven U.S. states, triggering active criminal investigations into top COVID-19 officials for terrorism, murder and racketeering:

2025 Federal Election

Conservatives promise to ban firing of Canadian federal workers based on COVID jab status

Published on

From LifeSiteNews

By Anthony Murdoch

The Conservative platform also vows that the party will oppose mandatory digital ID systems and a central bank digital currency if elected.

Pierre Poilievre’s Conservative Party’s 2025 election platform includes a promise to ā€œbanā€ the firing of any federal worker based ā€œsolelyā€ on whether or not they chose to get the COVID shots.

On page 23 of the ā€œCanada First – For A Changeā€Ā plan, which was released on Tuesday, the promise to protect un-jabbed federal workers is mentioned under ā€œProtect Personal Autonomy, Privacy, and Data Security.ā€

It promises that a Conservative government will ā€œBan the dismissal of federal workers based solely on COVID vaccine status.ā€

The Conservative Party also promises to ā€œOppose any move toward mandatory digital ID systemsā€ as well as ā€œProhibit the Bank of Canada from developing or implementing a central bank digital currency.ā€

In October 2021, the Liberal government of former Prime Minister Justin TrudeauĀ announcedĀ unprecedented COVID-19 jab mandates for all federal workers and those in the transportation sector. The government also announced that the unjabbed would no longer be able to travel by air, boat, or train, both domestically and internationally.

This policyĀ resulted inĀ thousands losing their jobs or being placed on leave for non-compliance. It also trapped ā€œunvaccinatedā€ Canadians in the country.

COVID jab mandates, which also came from provincial governments with the support of the federal government, split Canadian society. The shots haveĀ been linked toĀ a multitude of negative and often severe side effects, such as death, including in children.

ManyĀ recentĀ rulings haveĀ goneĀ inĀ favor ofĀ those whoĀ choseĀ not to get the shots and were fired as a result, such as an arbitratorĀ ruling that one of the nation’s leading hospitals in Ontario must compensate 82 healthcare workers terminated after refusing to get the jabs.

Beyond health concerns, many Canadians, especially Catholics, opposed the injections on moral grounds because of theirĀ link to fetal cell lines derived from the tissue of aborted babies.
