KNOW THAT ‘STUDY’ IS NOT ‘RESEARCH’

As it turned out, today, May First, 2022, was a good day to drift through some old stuff in the somewhat dishevelled family library. Coincidental to the drifting there were thoughts about Joe Biden’s latest gambit, “The Ministry of Truth”, and Justin Trudeau’s plans to “license” Canadian journalists. On this library shelf I see, a dozen or more books about UFO’s – a subject clouded by government leaks, followed by denials, followed by more leaks – and next to the UFO’s almost as many books on the JFK take down and cover up. And couldn’t you call this serendipity, out tumbles “1984, by George Orwell“, somewhat tattered, with a cover that’s been abused probably by spilled coffee, price of 85 cents still quite visible, with pages intact. There on page 86, the mantra, “freedom is slavery” and on page 162, “ignorance is strength.” Mantra, a statement or slogan repeated frequently, like “no one is safe until all are safe”, an often repeated reference to the importance of being vaccinated. The unvaccinated, meanwhile continue to be cauterized. The latest broadside was fired by Dr. David Fisman. He conducted a study that obviously found favour with the people at the Canadian Medical Association Journal who published it. Designated a study rather than a research paper, Dr. Fisman, using modelling, claimed the unvaxxed if found in the company of the vaxxed are dangerous because they raise the risk of infection around them. The casualness of that statement suggests no challenge to the conclusion. The speed with which Fisman’s study was picked up by Canada’s MSM (main stream media) classifies it as propaganda on behalf of the the STATES’ view of the unvaxxed! Propaganda almost always crowds the truth and in many cases bears no discernible relationship to veracity. Don’t think so? Look at the framing of the story billboard in all the MSM, (“MIXING WITH UNVACCINATED INCREASES COVID 19 RISK FOR THE VACCINATED: Study”.) No equivocation, just a straight delivery to the reader as fact. There’s no reference in this so called study to repeated official statements telling us get vaccinated and you will not be infected. Here’s something else. The opening sentence refers to a STUDY and the next paragraph begins with a reference to ‘the RESEARCH’. Because this study slanders so many, we need to be clear about the difference between study and research. To study is usually academic. It’s designed to revise materials already learned in order to make sure one doesn’t forget them. While research is to search or examine with continued care; to seek diligently, labouriously, searching after truth. The sum of the difference suggests that Dr. David Fisman deliberately offered a hit piece that diminishes the unvaxxed. And MSM was eager to participate in the piling on and disparagement. But that’s not all. Dr. Fisman’s study is based on modelling. Fisman explains, “we use models in a lot of different ways. They’re just simplified versions of reality.” There’s more than a hint of simplicity in the doctor’s breezy explanation. Most would bluntly affirm there’s no such thing as simplified reality. Dr. Fisman may be a professional but his reliance on modelling for truth produces instant skeptics. All models have limitations because they are not representative of every possible scenario. British statistician George Box said, “all models are wrong. Some are useful.” Next let’s slide over to the desk of one of the many editors that would have approved publishing this study without thought. First check the pulse. You would have thought that after eviscerating the poor unvaccinated pilgrim, the last words of the study would find a place near the first words because Dr. Fisman’s vulnerability is noted but not until all the bullets have been fired. Story concludes, “however he (Dr.Fisman) acknowledges that a simple mathematical model does not fully reflect the real world or diverse factors that must be taken in account when setting public health policy, including political consideration and public anger.” The fact that MSM, now amply subsidized by the taxpayer, would stoop to run the report of a flimsy study, not a peer reviewed research paper, tells us everything we need to know about the deterioration of news reporting in this country. Recent history confirms anger from the Prime Minister comes at the unvaxxed from darkness. Why else would he want to keep the unvaxxed locked up for another three years? He knows this latest violent thrust is un-Canadian. How is it that so few in the Media grasp the obvious. He was outwitted by the Truck Convoy, and that will be the bastard badge he will wear until retired by his patron, Klaus Schwab. Meanwhile Ottawa continues to cover up the truth about the vaxxed. In Ontario, they are supporting daily numbers that show more than 20 deaths a day and several thousand new infections. But health officials are not admitting that at least 80% of those infections are among the vaccinated. The cover up provides fertile ground for studies like the one from Dr. Fisman that are used to play the unvaxxed as patsies, Canadians, characterized as extremists, misogynists, racists, and worse in the privacy of the Prime Ministers office. What kind of a man demonizes millions of fellow countrymen? And holds them hostage without due process! We know he is ‘of the people’ responsible for the monumental mismanagement of the pandemic.

The God they don’t believe exists has a reward for each one.
