A training course for social workers put out with oversight from the government of Saskatchewan seems to approve of sedating “highly anxious” individuals with intellectual disabilities so they can be given a coronavirus vaccine, without their consent. A government worker worried about the lack of clarity regarding the need for consent leaked the presentation to.
An April 1 presentation jointly created by the Government of Saskatchewan and by Inclusion Saskatchewan (INSK), a non-governmental, community-based organization, teaches social workers how to work with “individuals with diverse needs” in order to obtain their consent to receive a COVID vaccine.
“INSK made a Plain Language Supported Decision Making document to help guide conversations with individuals as they make a decision about receiving the COVID-19 vaccine,” a slide in the presentation states.
“People should provide informed consent where possible,” another slide states.
The course was put together by government employees Berit Pugh and Hayley Huartson, both from the Ministry of Social Services. It was also put together by Megan Wells, Director of Inclusion for Inclusion Saskatchewan.
The presentation encourages using “supportive techniques” and creating a positive environment for those with intellectual disabilities who might be opposed to taking the jab.
“Have music going, coffee and donuts afterward, or celebrate by sharing photos with loved ones,” the presentation states.
Near the end of the course, the use of sedation is floated for individuals with disabilities who are “highly anxious” and opposed to receiving needles.
The following question is posed on slide 29: “What about the use of sedation?”Notes beneath the slide indicate that sedation can be used. There is no mention of obtaining consent.
“If people regularly need sedation for procedures, this may be considered for the vaccine,” the notes state.
“Some people do not get flu shots, even with the most creative approaches, accessible health education, and amazing emotional support provided from their preferred people simply because the fear of needles is so high,” the notes continue.
“These individuals are often the ones who also need to get hospital dental work under general anesthesia, etc, and my only faint hope for these individuals to be immunized is that by the time their next hospital dental date comes up (every 2-4 years), we may be able to request a vaccine dose be given at the same time.”
Breakdown of recent vaccination site closures (Forbes):
•Palm Beach County, Florida, is shutting down three mass vaccination sites in favor of new mobile vaccination efforts, after the sites were operating at only 50% capacity this week.
•Mass vaccination sites in Clarkesville, Georgia, and North Carolina will shut down by the end of May, and Summit County, Ohio, canceled a planned mass vaccination clinic on April 27 citing “decreased demand.”
•Several Texas mass vaccination sites in Williamson and Galveston counties are shutting down, and Galveston officials asked the state not to send the county any vaccine next week as the number of residents making vaccine appointments declines.
•Waukesha County, Wisconsin, will likely shut down its mass vaccine site to new first doses by the end of the week, as the county hits its target of 60% of eligible residents being vaccinated.
•Some vaccination locations have made plans to close before this week: Sites in Las Vegas and Cascade County, Montana, were announced to be shutting down last week, for instance, while Mercer County, Ohio, shuttered their drive-through mass vaccine clinic earlier in April.
•Officials are reporting noticeable decreases in the number of people getting inoculated in areas where sites are not closing, including in Texas, Idaho, Missouri, Alabama, Maine and Maryland.
Data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on the number of injuries and deaths reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) following COVID vaccines revealed reports of blood clots and other related blood disorders associated with all three vaccines approved for Emergency Use Authorization in the U.S. — Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson (J&J). So far, only the J&J vaccine has been paused because of blood clot concerns.
VAERS is the primary mechanism for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the U.S. Reports submitted to VAERS require further investigation before a causal relationship can be confirmed.
Every Friday, VAERS makes public all vaccine injury reports received through a specified date, usually about a week prior to the release date. Today’s data show that between Dec. 14, 2020 and April 8, a total of 68,347 total adverse events were reported to VAERS, including 2,602 deaths — an increase of 260 over the previous week — and 8,285 serious injuries, up 314 since last week.
Of the 2,602 deaths reported as of April 8, 27% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination, 19% occurred within 24 hours and 41% occurred in people who became ill within 48 hours of being vaccinated.
In the U.S., 174.9 million COVID vaccine doses had been administered as of April 8. This includes 79.6 million doses of Moderna’s vaccine, 90.3 million doses of Pfizer and 4.9 million doses of the J&J COVID vaccine.
This week’s VAERS data show: 19% of deaths were related to cardiac disorders.55% of those who died were male, 43% were female and the remaining death reports did not include gender of the deceased.The average age of those who died was 77 and the youngest death was an 18-year-old. There are a few reported deaths in children under 18, but these reports contained errors.As of April 8, 408 pregnant women had reported adverse events related to COVID vaccines, including 114 reports of miscarriage or premature birth.Of the 678 cases of Bell’s Palsy reported, 59% of cases were reported after Pfizer-BioNTech vaccinations, 38% following vaccination with the Moderna vaccine and 24 cases (4%) of Bell’s Palsy were reported with J&J.There were 77 reports of Guillain-Barré Syndrome with 55% of cases attributed to Pfizer, 40% to Moderna and 10% to J&J.There were 20,021 reports of anaphylaxis with 47% of cases attributed to Pfizer’s vaccine, 46% to Moderna and 7% to J&J.
VAERS yielded a total of 795 reports for all three vaccines from Dec. 14, 2020, through April 8.
Of the 795 cases reported, there were 400 reports attributed to Pfizer, 337 reports with Moderna and 56 reports with J&J — far more than the eight J&J cases under investigation, including the two additional cases added Wednesday. Although the J&J and AstraZeneca COVID vaccines have been under the microscope for their potential to cause blood clots, mounting evidence suggests the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines also cause clots and related blood disorders. U.S. regulatory officials were alerted to the problem as far back as December 2020.
One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road but, even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she looked worried.
No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn’t look safe; he looked poor and hungry. He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold. He knew how she felt. It was that chill which only fear can put in you. He said, ‘I’m here to help you, ma’am. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm?
By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson.’ Well, all she had was a flat tire but, for an old lady, that was bad enough.
Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two.. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt. As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him. She told him that she was from St. Louis and was only just passing through. She couldn’t thank him enough for coming to her aid.
Bryan just smiled as he closed her trunk. The lady asked how much she owed him. Any amount would have been all right with her. She already imagined all the awful things that could have happened had he not stopped. Bryan never thought twice about being paid. This was not a job to him. This was helping someone in need and, God knows, there were plenty, who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way, and it never occurred to him to act any other way.
He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed and, Bryan added, ‘And think of me.’ He waited until she started her car and drove off. It had been a cold and depressing day but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight.
A few miles down the road, the lady saw a small cafe. She went in to get a bite to eat and take the chill off before she made the last leg of her trip home. It was a dingy looking restaurant. Outside were two old gas pumps. The whole scene was unfamiliar to her.
The waitress came over and brought a clean towel to wipe her wet hair. She had a sweet smile, one that, even being on her feet for the whole day, couldn’t erase. The lady noticed the waitress was nearly eight months pregnant, but she never let the strain and aches change her attitude. The old lady wondered how someone who had so little could be so giving to a stranger. Then she remembered Bryan.
After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a hundred dollar bill. The waitress quickly went to get change for her hundred dollar bill but the old lady had slipped right out the door. She was gone by the time the waitress came back.
The waitress wondered where the lady could be. Then she noticed something was written on the napkin. There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote: ‘You don’t owe me anything. I have been there too. Somebody once helped me out, the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, here is what you do: Do not let this chain of love end with you.’ Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.
Well, there were tables to clear, sugar bowls to fill, and people to serve, but the waitress made it through another day.
That night when she got home from work and climbed into bed, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. How could the lady have known how much she and her husband needed it? With the baby due next month, it was going to be hard…. She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she gave him a soft kiss and whispered soft and low, ‘Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Bryan Anderson.’
There is an old saying… ‘What goes around comes around.’ Today I send you this story, and I’m asking you to pass it on. Let this light shine. God works in mysterious ways and sometimes puts people in our lives for a reason.
Don’t delete this. Don’t return it… Simply, pass this on to friends, I just did…
I did not attend medical school or serve a surgical residency. Neither did I major in biology, chemistry, or a related science.
And no, before you ask, I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
However, from a layman’s perspective, here is what I understand about COVID-19… and here is what I suspect.
1. COVID-19 is a real disease that has claimed hundreds of thousands of American lives and millions of lives worldwide. However, we will never know the real number of fatalities because patients with serious underlying health conditions and co-morbidities were all classified as COVID deaths… partly for financial reasons and partly to advance a political agenda.
2. Doctors, nurses, and the entire medical community are to be applauded for their hard work on the very dangerous front lines of the pandemic. They are heroes all.
3. President Trump should be credited for spearheading the development of multiple vaccines in record time through Operation Warp Speed. Whether you choose to be vaccinated or not, what he and his administration accomplished by cutting through the massive red tape and creating an effective public-private partnership was unprecedented… and borderline miraculous.
4. The limelight-loving Dr. Anthony Fauci is either a well-meaning but clueless bureaucrat or a not-so-well-meaning and clueless bureaucrat. Either way, he has repeatedly moved the goalposts over the past year, offering conflicting medical advice on one hand and contradicting himself on the other. Having mismanaged multiple pandemics before, he should have been canned years ago.
5. The Democrat Party – and then candidate Joe Biden – purposely and shamelessly politicized the pandemic. Mr. Biden owes his residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue to his manipulation of the crisis… and to a biased and complicit mainstream media, including Google, Facebook, and Twitter.
6. Lockdowns don’t work, except for at-risk populations such as nursing home residents. In fact, they kill more people than they help by quarantining them in close quarters. Multiple scientific studies have since shown that sunshine – with its Vitamin D and ultraviolet rays – is an effective weapon against COVID.
7. The jury is still out on the efficacy of masks, especially cloth ones. In fact, a recent study by the National Institutes of Health found that cloth masks are counter-productive at best… and dangerous at worst. Regardless of where you stand on this divisive issue, suggesting that people wear masks while alone outdoors or in the privacy of their own homes and cars was ludicrous from the very beginning.
8. Whereas socially distancing may be wise during a pandemic, arbitrarily declaring that six feet is the magic number for guaranteed safety was comically unscientific. So was requiring restaurant customers to wear masks while walking from the front door to their table… or between bites. And don’t get me started on the knee-jerk recommendations by the CDC this time last year to continuously wipe down countertops and other surfaces as well as packages, groceries, and the like (after leaving them on your front porch to detox for 24 hours).
9. I have a sneaky suspicion and a nasty feeling in my gut that – whereas the pandemic was most definitely real – nefarious elements in our society, including some in our own federal government, chose to not let this crisis go to waste. Taking a page out of Rahm Emanuel’s diabolical playbook, they pushed to see just how compliant the American populace would be. To these folks, willing compliance by the masses means increasingly complete control… and unadulterated power.
10. Making vaccines mandatory and requiring vaccine passports for interstate travel are proposals that should never see the light of day. They are 100% unconstitutional and egregious violations of the First and Fourth Amendments, which guarantee the freedoms of assembly and religious expression as well as the right to privacy. The proposition that a national health crisis supersedes the Constitution of the United States is preposterous – and a very dangerous precedent.
11. While we are on the subject of a national health crisis, will someone with some moxie state the obvious: the vast majority of Americans who died from COVID were morbidly obese. The simple but inconvenient truth is this: if you were having trouble breathing before you contracted COVID, you are probably going to have even more trouble breathing after getting it. The same goes for diabetes if caused by poor eating habits, which is another major contributor to COVID-related deaths. It’s time that Americans got off the couch and onto the treadmill… or the next pandemic could be even worse.
12. I think the W.H.O. and the U.S. government know exactly where COVID-19 originated… and it wasn’t in a Chinese wet market. Instead, I am willing to bet that it came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is run by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is a leading research center for – let’s say it together – the study of coronaviruses. Whether the virus was accidentally leaked or purposely released is open for debate, but because the W.H.O. is in bed with China and the U.S. is undoubtedly conducting its own biological warfare experiments, chances are that we will never know the truth.
13. Shutting down schools was initially understandable and probably prudent. However, it quickly became evident that COVID-19 did not pose a serious health risk to most children. The continued opposition to reopening schools for in-person instruction by numerous teachers’ unions is indefensible. Likewise, shuttering churches and other places of worship and arbitrarily limiting the size of their congregations was, is, and always will be wrong. So says James Madison… and SCOTUS recently agreed.
As of April 12, more than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine have been administered in the U.S. CDC and FDA are reviewing data involving six reported U.S. cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the J&J vaccine. In these cases, a type of blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia). All six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination. Treatment of this specific type of blood clot is different from the treatment that might typically be administered. Usually, an anticoagulant drug called heparin is used to treat blood clots. In this setting, administration of heparin may be dangerous, and alternative treatments need to be given. (SOURCE: FDA&CDC) Trust the science?
A panel of jurors has found former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin guilty Tuesday on all three charges in connection with the May 2020 death of George Floyd, after one of the most closely watched criminal trials in recent memory. Chauvin, 45, was charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. With Americans on edge as they awaited the verdict, the jury announced that it has found him guilty across the board. His bail was immediately revoked and he was led away with his hands cuffed behind his back. Cheers and cars honking could be heard outside the Hennepin County Courthouse as the verdict was read. Chauvin’s sentencing is scheduled for eight weeks from now, the judge said. He could be sent to prison for decades. Earlier in the day Tuesday, President Biden weighed in by saying he believes the case is “overwhelming.” He said that he had spoken to Floyd’s family on Monday and “can only imagine the pressure and anxiety they’re feeling.” “They’re a good family and they’re calling for peace and tranquility no matter what that verdict is,” Biden said. “I’m praying the verdict is the right verdict. I think it’s overwhelming, in my view. I wouldn’t say that unless the jury was sequestered now.”
My husband won’t let me visit my friends or family. He has made me stop all contact with them unless it’s on the phone.
Copied from a friend:
My husband won’t let me visit my friends or family. He has made me stop all contact with them unless it’s on the phone.
The other week he told me to go out for a meal with my friends. But when I did, I got punished for it. I know he will tell me to do it again though, so I don’t know what action to take.
He keeps doing this. He makes me feel like I’m going crazy for thinking he is controlling. Guess I’m just being ungrateful.
It’s because he cares about me. He didn’t want me going to the gym anymore, so I don’t do that. He also doesn’t let me go to work. He told me to only rely on his income and that he will look after me.
I only go out for necessities. But when I do I need to share my location with him, no matter where I go and who I am with, for my own safety.
My best friends kept saying he was just using and controlling me. So I no longer keep in touch with them and can’t trust them.
I started missing my family so much last week that I snuck off to see them. My husband caught me and I was punished for it. My uncle is dying in a nursing home but I’ve been forbidden to see him. I’m not allowed to do anything unless my husband says so.
I wanted to book a get-a-way to go and visit my relatives, but he said no.
I wanted to go back to school to learn some new skills, but I wasn’t allowed to do that either. I can’t wait until he says I can.
I know the time will come soon he will let me. I know he’s only doing this because he loves me. He cares about me, he really does. It’s for my own good.
Supposedly from a source in the intelligence community, take it for what it is worth and govern yourself accordingly, (I’m not predicting, just informing)…
“We are days away from a major military confrontation between Israel and Iran.
Iran has acquired 3 nuclear warheads from a stockpile of nukes that disappeared from the Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union. The Iranians are very close to placing these nukes on missiles they have developed.
The Israelis are at most days away from attacking the site where these nukes are stored.
Afterward expect massive Iranian attacks and escalation to Israel nuking Tehran or a major Iranian population center, possibly on the Gulf.
Afterwards expect a major crash in the american dollar and the beginnings of a depression in the U.S.
This comes from a source in Chinese intelligence.
China will play a major role in the crash of the american dollar with their attack on Taiwan within 60 days.”
