It's only logical: deadly bat virus suddenly appears a 1,000 feet from the lab in Wuhan where the bat virus is studied (and manipulated to make deadlier) yet 1,000 MILES from the bat cave where its original version likely came from and yet the MSM points to people who point this out i the Spring of 2020 (like me) as "conspiracy theorists" and even "racists" (thank you, Dr. Tamm).

Why have so many people living in Western democracies forfeited their ability to be rational and to do a bit of their own thinking rather than bowing and shutting up?

Comrade: everything the corporate media labels as a conspiracy theory ends up being true. Originally it was racist to suggest that the virus came from a Chinese lab, now it is obvious and bureaucrats like Fauci were involved. In a just world they would all be imprisoned for their repeated lies and crimes against humanity.

We need to stop spouting this false narrative of "deadliest pandemic in a 100 years". It is not. Most of the deaths recorded as covid deaths in Western countries are not deaths by covid.

Our ALL-causes death statistics have not significantly wavered from historical averages/trends, and there are MORE deaths from lockdowns than from the virus.

Let's stop feeding the fear-mongering monster.

great conversation with Elaine, very informative & concerning to hear about the thread from China & the lab in Wpg, where I grew up & started my media career, albeit not in an on-air capacity. My experience in over 30 yrs working & buying media, broadcast, daily/weekly print etc has witnessed a mentality of, sadly "RIP & READ". The majority of for-profit media & sadly public broadcasters ie CBC, receive material from a variety of sources & without fact checking, sourcing, digging deep & present it to their respective audiences as the gospel. Media companies main focus is about building audience & selling more ads, sorry once again CBC doesn't fit into this category. If we really want to get to the truth, just "follow the money"

I have a problem with the lab leak idea, several. Sars-CoV-2 is lab created or tampered. It is NOT DEADLY. It is not deadly. The great majority of victims died in fact from co-morbidities. The Vaccines are deadly. The patents on various aspects of the virus and spike protein codes (created by Ralph Baric's team at UNC Chapel Hill) far predate not only the SARS-2 outbreaks in China but also they predate the vaccines, which ARE DEADLY. The journalist believes the accounts published in the Wall Street Journal which she found were originated from US Intelligence based on "another country's Intelligence" (MI6?) but she reserves her skepticism for Chinese government. I cannot believe that the Pandemic project, which is obviously global. is the instrument of a national government, even the Chinese government or even the US government. I am grateful for the details discovered about the Canadian government involvement. Our government is proving to be deadlier than any SARS-2 virus. They are pushing injections proven to be deadly on kids as young as 5. This condemns the Canadian government forever in my eyes.

Well, I, for one, commend Tara and Elaine for bringing the origins of the virus into the light. Although I am very much on the same page as many of the commentators here in many respects, I also recognize that there is tremendous value in these journalists' willingness to swim against the tide in order to bridge the horrible divide that has been promoted and perpetrated by governments, health officials, the media, and the corporate world generally.

I'm not quite sure what people mean by the virus has not been isolated. Is that meant to imply that it does not exist? I actually contracted the Omicron virus recently, and although the symptoms were on the whole mild, I am still recovering from it. So, I can certainly attest on a personal level to the existence of the virus.

However, what I want to especially point out is that it was the draconian and unconstitutional measure of vaccine passports that led me to contract to virus at all. For two years, I kept to the safety precautions of distancing, in particular, in order to greatly minimize any risk of transmission. Then the passports were introduced, used first as an election wedge by Trudeau to divide people, and then adopted by my provincial government of BC. I have watched in horror the effects of this discriminatory measure, how it has torn people apart - friends and family - how people have lost their jobs and livelihoods, sometimes becoming so desperate to resort to suicide. I read yesterday that a man in Australia set himself on fire in opposition to the vaccine passport. This is how desperate people have become, while the majority of seemingly self-righteous and judgmental vaccinated people sit back and applaud.

For me, a 74-year-old single woman (committed to staying healthy) with a limited social circle of support, I began to feel myself more and more isolated, and the sense of alienation from my society and country continued to grow. When a long-term friend announced that she could no longer see me as an unvaccinated person because somehow I was more of a risk than her vaccinated friends, I knew I had to start reaching out to like-minded people in order to survive socially. If I could have kept going to social events that were properly controlled the same as I did for a year and half, I would never have contracted the virus. I don't blame anyone. I make my own decisions. But when the opportunity to join a group of people indoors at New Years arose, I went for it. I was literally so starved to feel part of a social gathering again. I knew very well that the virus spreads in indoor congregations, but I went anyway, and I don't regret it. I got Omicron, but my immune system is dealing with it and will be stronger because of it. I hold the vaccine passports as indirectly responsible, at least, for my contracting it. My fury around the institution and social sanctioning of this inhumane and ludicrous policy knows no bounds. I will never forget or forgive the horrific damage it has caused people everywhere.

I'd be willing to bet the negative consequences of two years of lockdowns on kids, with massive periods of isolation, will lead to problems as bad as paedophilia and familial child abuse.

These two years will go down very hard in history.

"You see, once again I positively maintain that this particular quality exists in much of mankind - this love of torturing children, but only children. These same torturers look upon all other examples of humankind even mildly and benevolently, being educated and humane Europeans, but they have a great love of torturing children, they even love children in that sense. It is precisely the defenselessness of these creatures that tempts the torturers, the angelic trustfulness of the child, who has nowhere to turn and no one to turn to - that is what enflames the vile blood of the torturer."

As I watch the printed digital and broadcast media print hate speech under the guise of "news" without facts and Opinion Columns with definite leading hate questions like " Should the Unvaxed be jailed?" opinion poll ( opinion column) put out by the Ottawa Citizen ( screw name protection when you are putting out $*&t like this) I wonder if they would do that if it concerned race, religion, class, gender etc... When you identify a group of people and incite hatred, encourage low level thinkers and reactionaries you might as well be the Jerry Springer show and hanging up your credibility at the door and never return.

Sadly I had a friend the verb is past tense. Who died on Sunday from the booster ( aka the shot again). She had a heart attack with no previous medical history of any type of heart conditions. She received the shot on Wednesday and was saying she was feeling terrible by Sunday afternoon she disappeared. it took 5 calls to the hospital to finally get them to move and identity her in the morgue. Many others I know who have had the shots and are having adverse reactions are not believed by family, so called friends and so called medical staff. The shot is linked to heart attacks https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1161/circ.144.suppl_1.10712. and bloodclots along with many other factors.It is easier to deny and remain comfortable then accept and frightening truth When seeking treatment they remain untreated in the hospitals for the most part (at least all the people I know)There is no money or kick backs in it for treatment.

If you want the deadliest virus it is not covid. It was the Ebola, The Spanish Flu 1918, the bubonic plague and many others. For 99.8% of the population the world over Covid is just a flu with a smoke screen added onto it for political and monetary gain What is killing people is the mRNA shots, governments, unethical medical so called professionals, blind herd mentality and active discrimination. Genes aren't viruses The real virus is fear and complacency

For links between the monetary investment and gains and why so many alternatives are being blocked We have a company that produces the LNP casing for the mRNA to stabilize it. The mRNA is not stable it has to be frozen and encased This where B.C lab's Acuitas Theraptuics comes in owned by Arbtus comes in https://acuitastx.com/

The Canadian Federal Governemnt is heavily invested and involved with this company Here is their agreement https://investor.arbutusbio.com/node/15446/html "The Company entered into a Technology Partnerships Canada (“TPC”) agreement with the Canadian Federal Government on November 12, 1999.

The Company received a cumulative contribution of $2.7 million (C$3.7 million). In return for the funding provided by TPC, the Company agreed to pay royalties on the share of future licensing and product revenue, if any, that is received by the Company on certain non-RNAi oligonucleotide product candidates covered by the funding under the agreement.

In order to peddle via media the efficacy of their mRNA the financed certain Dr.'s including one Dr. Jim Keller to the tune of 2 million dollars.

Dr. Sam Bailey ; The Truth About Virus Isolation , Odysee.com Dec 6 2021. I have some trust in this physician. But still, as in 1972 when I graduated Nursing School, there is not much know about viruses. And the unfriendly and competitive environment of Virus Experts prevents some really good studies to reach peer approval and publication.

don't know if it came from a lab in China but my daughter caught it in november 2019 when her hotel was flooded with tourists from China . Many of the staff got super sick the worst flu they had ever had , seriously sick . CO- inkydink- I don't think so . we all know where it came from

We are ignoring the sudden appearance of “vaping illness” that appeared right before COVID with identical symptoms. Somehow this illness only appeared in America despite major vaping cultures existing outside of America. Somehow this illness had no conclusive root cause and not attention from MSM or science on how this was the original source of covid. America.

Tara, please read https://www.amazon.ca/What-Really-Happened-Wuhan-Infections-ebook/dp/B094GHJK9L. In addition, consider inviting Sharri (the author) onto your show. Her book is detailed, authoritative and infinitively credible.

The topic cited by Elaine in the Globe and Mail article as a point that caught her interest “In 2012, a small group of miners in Mojiang County in Yunnan Province, China, tasked with clearing bat feces out of a cave, became very ill; some of them died. According to academic work Dewar cites, blood samples from some of the miners were sent to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.” … is covered in great detail in Chapter 18 of Sharri’s book.

China didn't report it, North America didn't take it seriously and worse politicalized it.
