Breaking: Red States Targeted With Tainted COVID Vaccines, Warns Former Science Adviser.
Piece by piece, the official covid narrative is rapidly disintegrating-Sunday, January 23, 2022 by: Ethan Huff https://www.afinalwarning.com/587974.html
(Natural News) As the narrative surrounding the Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) global psy-op (psychological operation) continues to break down, here are five things you need to know (as explained by Steve Kirsch):1) Even the World Health Organization (WHO) is warning against covid “booster” shots It made sense to some people to just go along with it when it was just one or two doses. But now that governments want people to take a third or even a fourth injection for the Fauci Flu, many are saying enough is enough.Both EEU regulators and officials at WHO now admit that booster shots do not make sense, which is why they are advising the public against taking them. There is no evidence to support a booster shot program and everybody knows it. 2) More jabs means more infections.They have been trying to hide this fact from the public, but the data clearly shows that the more shots people get, the more likely they are to develop symptoms associated with “covid.”The unvaccinated, meanwhile, are healthier, on average, compared to their “fully vaccinated” counterparts.3) Covid jabs are NOT safe-On top of not working as claimed, covid injections are also unsafe. Many formerly pro-vaccine doctors and other health experts are speaking out against the shots, warning that they do not work.“This is great news,” Kirsch writes. “Nobody is going public yet, but they are all [upset] and realize they have been misled. It will not be pretty. This is of course great news.”4) Face masks do not protect against disease (hint: they spread MORE of it)-It took a long time to get to this point, but the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has finally admitted that cloth masks are useless at preventing the spread of covid or any other disease.Corrupt CDC head Rochelle Walensky had no way out of fessing up to this truth after data was published showing that face veils are more of a religious rite than a viable medical intervention.“The other mask types don’t work either, but it will take them longer to figure out the obvious,” Kirsh says.“P100 respirators do work but only a small percentage of people know that. I can’t wait to see Rochelle Walensky wear a P100 respirator; after all, she should be modelling best practices.” 5) Young people especially should not be getting “boosted”Even though Tony Fauci claims otherwise, there is zero evidence to suggest that covid injections are safe or effective for young people. In fact, many doctors and other health experts are warning against parents getting their children “boosted,” despite the fact that leftist colleges and universities all across the country are demanding them of students who wish to return to campus.“Someone is very wrong here and for once it isn’t the WHO,” Kirsh says.A few other things Kirsch says people should know is that remdesivir is dangerous and ineffective. It has become standard procedure to administer this drug to covid patients at hospitals across America, but only because Fauci makes money every time remdesivir is injected into a patient’s body.Also, social distancing is a farce. MIT came out with a study back in April which found that avoiding other people and treating them like the walking plague does nothing to stop the spread of disease.“6 feet or 60 feet made no difference,” Kirsch writes. “People still haven’t figured this out.”One of Kirsch’s subscribers pointed out that it was obvious from the beginning that all of this was nonsense. But better late than never, right?
This is a classical social engineering test by the globalists to measure the mRNA vaccine's "maximum tolerated dose" among the populace, while simultaneously killing off Joe Biden's political opposition-Researchers sourcing VAERS data on Covid jabs found what appears to be a deadly political war being waged on red states.When viewing adverse reactions tied to specific batches of Covid vaccines, the analysts found highly toxic vaccine lots being channeled towards conservative areas.This exclusive Reese Report breaks down how the globalists are deploying deadly vaccine batches in red states to punish their political opposition and pave the way for the Great Reset.Former Pfizer Vice President and Chief Science Officer Dr. Michael Yeadon discovered through reverse-engineering VAERs data that some batches of the COVID vaccine are far deadlier than others.More specifically, about 0.5% of the vaccines were found to be “highly toxic”, and result in hospitalization, disabilities, and even death within days or weeks of the injection.However, most of the batches appear to be harmless placebos.But the data reveals something even more chilling: coordinated deployments of the harmless and toxic batches by Pfizer, Moderna, and Janssen to monitor the vaccine’s effects on the public in an experimental setting.This mode of deployment allows governments the ability to direct deadly batches of the vaccine into specific populations — such as red states.In fact, the VAERs data reveals that red states have seen a much higher number of vaccine deaths per capita than blue states.According to researcher Craig Paardekooper, the reason for this discrepancy is that red states have been delivered double the amount of lethal batches that blue states received.This is a classical social engineering test by the globalists to measure the mRNA vaccine’s “maximum tolerated dose” among the populace while simultaneously killing off Joe Biden’s political opposition.
Some batches/lots are associated with excessive deaths, disabilities and adverse reactions. This variation could be due to - variation in the amount, meaning the number of doses distributed for a particular lot, OR variation in the toxicity of the doses Both factors may play a part. Until we know for certain, it is best to be cautious.You can use this website to find out the number of deaths, disabilities and illnesses associated with your particular batch code. The sheer number of deaths and disabilities is cause for concern - far exceeding the adverse events associated with flu vaccine lots of equal size.The Significance of Lot Expiry Dates-So we have a list of the expiry dates for all the vaccine lots. So what! Well, heres why this list is important..The govt makes available to medical practitioners a list of expiry dates for all lots. However the CDC keeps this list a guarded secret from the general public (why would that be, I wonder?). However, a contact passed on this list to me. I noticed that the lots on the expiry list are ALL of the ones with the highest number of adverse reactions reports (ADRs) in each alphabet group. I wondered why that was so? Why were none of the other lots on the expiry list - those with only a handful of adrs? (I had previously surmised that the others could be placebo.)Then it occurred to me that only the biologically active lots will be on the expiry list, because a degradation of the biologically active ingredients would pose a greater danger than the degradation of a placebo. That’s possibly why the cdc did not want the public to get hold of this list. They only release it to medical professionals - for "security" reasons - because it reveals which are placebos, and which are biologically active - CDC Expiry List and Biologically Active Lots-if a batch is not on the list then it is a placebo ! So now we have a list of all the biologically active lots. This is obviously good information for people trying to avoid toxic batches. Simply check your batch against the expiry list. If it is not there, then the probability is that it is a placebo.Note : Please remember that they introduce new batches that may not be on the existing list, and also that even amongst the biologically active lots there is still considerable variation of toxicity - one bad lot may not be the same toxicity as another.-Note : This expiry list may only apply to USA batches. It may not apply to European batches - which often have different batch codes-Testing out this idea -IF lots with an expiry date are lots that are biologically active,THEN lots with an expiry date should be associated with far more adverse reactions than lots without an expiry date.....This is, in fact the case. See - CDC Expiry List and Biologically Active Lots-Moderna Lot Expiry Dates-Vial Lookup Tool-Expiry dates for 356 Moderna Batches-Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen Lot Expiry Dates Expiry dates for 439 Biologically Active Lots for Moderna, Pfizer and Janssen (does not include placebo lots)-The source for the above "Biologically Active" list is- Source 1 An additional source is here http://leadingageny.org/home/assets/File/Vaccine%20Lot%20Numbers%20Expiration%20(1).xlsx . (You may need to copy and paste this url into a browser window)-Using Expiry List to Determine if Your Batch is Safe-Expiry dates are issued only on biologically active lots - and it will be listed on the above spreadsheet named -"Expiry dates for 439 Biologically Active Lots......"This is a "rule-of-thumb" way you can check to see if your lot did any damage, or if it was just a placebo. Having a definitive list of biologically active lots, also enables us to provide a more accurate figure of what percentage of the lots are dangerous.Using Expiry List to Determine Which Batches are Not Typos-The CDC issued a list of 439 batch codes with the corresponding expiry dates, so we know at a minimum that these 439 batches/lots are real batch codes for real batches - rather than erroneous inputs by vaccine recipients.Now, when we look at VAERS to see how many adverse reactions, deaths and disabilities are associated with each of these 439 batch codes, we find the same massive variation as before - adverse reactions varying 1000 fold between the batches.Do Vaccinators Disregard Expiry Dates for Biologically Active Lots ? As you can see in the table below, vaccinators carried on vaccinating with Moderna batches from series J, K, L, M, A , B beyond the date of expiry Are some batches more toxic than others? If a vaccinator is paid £12 for each vaccine shot, then they may not have wanted to throw away expired vaccine, regardless of the effects on the health of the recipient. This should not surprise us, since they also disregard the safety signals from deaths, disabilities and illnesses following vaccinations.
UK Scientist Reveals
Bombshell Data Analysis: Tracks Batches Of Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen,
Finds "..Some Batches Are 50 Times Worse Than Others"
App
"How Bad Is My Batch?" Allows People To Input Batch Code And See How
Many Deaths, Disabilities and Illnesses Associated With That Batch "1 in
200 Lots Contain Deadly Ingredients"
I
was told about the work of Craig Paardekooper by my friend of many
years, PhD bio-chemist Dr. Dave Rasnick a few days ago; Today came this
email from Dave, clarifying his shocking findings:
“ I’m
following the very important work of Craig Paardekooper at Kingston
University London. Recently, I introduced Craig’s work to our email
group.
The
companies purposely manufactured non-uniform formulations of their
vaccines while representing to the public that all COVID-19 vaccines
from a given manufacturer were uniform in their formulation.
Over 20,000 different batches (lots) of Pfizer, Moderna, J & J injections total.
1
in 200 lots contain deadly ingredients. He urged me to watch a series
of videos, in which he lays out the unthinkable. One video here:
Another, “Death By Alphabet: Moderna Batch Codes And Associated Deaths:” here
“Please share with those you know, and also with doctors, nurses and
teachers - who may soon be pushing the vax onto children. Doctors and
nurses need to see that some batches are 50 x worse than others - before
they prescribe them.”
“Moderna Used the Alphabet to Label Different Toxicities of Vaccine
Moderna
batches belong to two main groups - 20A or 21A - the 20A group is much
more toxic. In fact all of the batches producing more than 1780 adverse
reaction reports - all of those batches have batch codes ending in 20A.”
“I ranked all the Moderna vaccine batches in order of the
number of deaths caused, and used the data from the highest 180 batches
as my data set.
As shown in my previous videos, Moderna batches have an alphabet letter in the centre of their batch codes…”
”I
just stumbled upon it,” he said. “Every morning I spend an hour or two
going to the usual places, I go to, to find information. Last week or
something I came across one of his talks. Odyssey or something. And then
found his website. He had done a series of videos. These analyses are
of the US VAERS data. That’s available to anybody. There are huge number
of reports in VAERS. What he has done is that …the guy must have a lot
of time on his hands because VAERS is a pain in the ass to use normally.
There’s almost a million reports now on the Covid injections….from this
guy I learned there are 20,200 batches. That includes all 3— Pfizer,
Moderna, and Janssen. He has done an analysis by batch number. One batch
has about 20,000 jabs. There are 20,200 lots numbers. We know there are
billions of these already ordered and shipped. The important thing is
that it’s a huge data base. He has correlated over time the reports of the severity of the jabs over almost a year now.”
Dr. Rasnick described how Paardekooper charted a roller coaster of
adverse events patterns, not random, but highly variable. They went up
and down, forming patterns. “He was able to show that they had done a
dosing regimen where the earliest ones had highest toxicity, some a lot
less toxic…This is exactly what any scientist wants to see, this volume
of data. These companies are working in concert so they did not interfere with each other’s results. The toxicities are very specific, and they come sequentially.”
”All
of that non-randomness was the key. As soon as you see that… if I was
on a jury I wold convict those people of grievous bodily harm and
willful homicide.”
I asked what he knew about Paardekooper.
“He’s
not a PhD yet,” Dr. Rasnick said. “He’s at Kingston University, in
London. We’ve had exchanges, he answers my emails promptly. He reminds
me of….well, he’s not beholden to anybody. I knew something like that
could be done if somebody had all that data. It’s a huge, extraordinary
effort. If it was only a few thousand data points that would be one
thing, anybody could do that, but this is about a million data points.
Batch codes and toxicity. The December 4th video, that’s the one that
shows coordination.”
WELL HERE AT THE VILLAGE OLD AGE HOME. WE GOT THE DEADLY VACCINES. I ASKED THE NURSE ON TONIGHT IF OUR VACCINE SHOTS HAD AN EXPIRY DATE AND NEEDED TO BE REFRIGERATED. SHE SAID YES. AND MY FIRST SHOT WAS PFIZER. SO I AND ALL OUR RESIDENTS HERE GOT THE DEADLY SHOTS. 8 RESIDENCES HAVE DIED IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS HERE. AND FOR THE LAST 3 DAYS MY SNOT HAD BLOOD WITH IT WHEN I WOKE UP. AND A FEW TIME AFTER I HAD A DUMP THERE WAS BLOOD WHEN I WIPPED MY BUTT. I ASKED THE NURSE ABOUT THE BLOOD IN MY SNOT. SHE SAID IT WAS DRY AIR. I ACCEPTED THAT. THEN LAST NIGHT I HAD BLOOD AFTER I HAD A DUMP AGAIN. AND I ASKED THE WORKER. AM I HAVING BLOOD CLOTS BECAUSE OF THE VACCINES AS I HAVE BLOOD AFTER I DUMP. SHE SAID DO YOU HAVE BLOOD ANY TIME EXCEPT AFTER YOU DUMP. I SAID NO. SHE SAID YOU PROBABLY HAVE HEMMOROIDS. AND THAT WAS IT. BUT NOW SINCE THIS STORY TODAY. AND THEIR DYING LIKE CRAZY HERE THE LAST 2 MONTHS. AND WE HAD THE DEADLY VACCINES HERE. I`M NOW POSSITIVE I HAVE BLOOD CLOTS OR SOMETHING SERIOUS FROM THE KILL SHOT VACCINES.
Canada's change to Pfizer vaccine storage temperature has major implications on rollout-Health Canada now recommends storing Pfizer vaccine at fridge temperatures for up to 1 month-Adam Miller · CBC News · Posted: May 19, 2021 4:00 AM ET | Last Updated: May 19, 2021
A health-care worker prepares a dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at a clinic in Toronto on Jan. 7. Health Canada announced Wednesday it now recommends allowing the Pfizer vaccine to be stored at fridge temperatures of between 2 C and 8 C for up to a month. (Nathan Denette/The Canadian Press)-The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine can now be stored at typical refrigerator temperatures in Canada for weeks longer than previously thought, which could have major implications on the rollout of vaccines across the country and around the world.Health Canada announced Wednesday it had authorized a submission from Pfizer-BioNTech to allow the vaccine to be stored at temperatures of between 2 C and 8 C for up to a month — up from the previous five days.The move comes after the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended the change to the "more flexible" storage conditions for the vaccine on Monday, saying it could have a "significant impact" on the deployment of vaccines throughout the European Union.The EMA said unopened, thawed vials of the vaccine can be stored at temperatures of between 2 C and 8 C for a total of 31 days, up from the previously approved five days, after it analyzed additional data from Pfizer on the stability of the vaccine. CBC News pressed Health Canada on Monday about whether it would authorize a similar request from the company here, but a spokesperson for the federal agency said the submission was still "under review."Health Canada then updated its guidance Wednesday, allowing for thawed Pfizer vaccines to be kept at fridge temperatures for up to one month. Vials thawed at room temperature (up to 25 C) for 30 minutes must be used immediately, according to the vaccine's product monograph. A spokesperson for Pfizer Canada said Wednesday the company made the request for the storage temperature changes to Health Canada on May 10, based on new data from stability studies that confirmed the quality of the vaccine for up to 31 days. The vaccine is typically transported at temperatures between –80 C to –60 C in Canada. The company says the formulation of the vaccine remains unchanged following the approval, adding that the extended storage period is effective immediately and applies to all current and future batches in Canada."This approval allows significantly more flexibility in the distribution of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine to clinics across the country while maintaining our ability to deliver large volumes on a consistent basis," Christina Antoniou, Pfizer Canada's director of corporate affairs, told CBC News."Given the importance of enhancing the distribution and administration process on the ground, Pfizer and BioNTech will continue to explore additional potential solutions to meet vaccination needs around the world."Dr. Zain Chagla, an infectious diseases physician at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton and an associate professor at McMaster University, says changes to how the thawed vaccine is stored could break down barriers to access in Canada — especially as second doses roll in.He says a longer storage time and more stable temperature would allow family physicians, homeless shelters, pharmacies, jails, pop-up clinics and eventually schools to keep Pfizer vaccines longer and potentially administer more doses.Dr. Isaac Bogoch, an infectious diseases physician at Toronto General Hospital and member of Ontario's COVID-19 vaccine task force, said the change in storage temperature would also make the vaccine easier to transport outside Canada's major urban centres."By mitigating these cold chain limitations, you can just more readily get this vaccine out to more places," he said. "It just basically makes this vaccine much more usable and much easier to scale to larger populations."Pfizer saying its COVID-19 vaccine could be stored at much warmer temperatures than previously stated would be great news for Canada if the change is approved here, says infectious disease specialist Dr. Isaac Bogoch, as it would make distribution much easier. 3:14-Bogoch says the proposed change could also lessen the pressure on individual provinces and territories when it comes to doses potentially expiring."You're just not going to have this vaccine expire, because you've got more wiggle room and more time that it can sit in conventional refrigeration," he said. "You just have the potential to vaccinate more people."Pfizer storage challenged Canada's early rollout-Canada's early deployment of the Pfizer vaccine was hindered by its complicated temperature requirements, which forced provinces to get creative in order to deliver it to vulnerable populations quickly.Quebec took the bold step of actually putting its vaccine distribution centres inside long-term care facilities.British Columbia moved the Pfizer vaccine from its distribution sites almost immediately into long-term care homes to inoculate residents and staff upon receiving its first doses.Ultra-cold storage and slowing transmission: Your COVID-19 vaccine questions answered-Yet Ontario initially decided against bringing it directly into long-term care homes. The province only did so more than three weeks after receiving its first shipment — prioritizing health-care workers instead.Bogoch says provinces were told in December that the vaccine shouldn't be moved after being thawed and that clinics should administer it at the same location and that the province was in contact with Pfizer about the issue at the time. Demand for medical freezers jumps on positive COVID-19 vaccine data-Chagla says more provinces would have followed Quebec's model of distributing the vaccine from long-term care homes first and hospitals second if they had known the vaccine was stable at fridge temperatures. "It would have helped with decentralizing the vaccine rollout and it took a month or two before we could start [doing that]," he said. "This could have very well started — even for the high risk groups — decentralizing it and really getting it into places where the vaccine is hard to reach." While an adjustment to the length of time the Pfizer vaccine can be stored and the more manageable temperatures for distribution could give Canada more flexibility in its rollout, the global benefits could be even more significant.Alyson Kelvin, an assistant professor at Dalhousie University and virologist at the Canadian Center for Vaccinology and the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization in Saskatoon, says the change in recommendations are "exciting.""It will have a global impact, especially in light of the recent problems plaguing AstraZeneca," she said, referring to the rare but serious blood clots that can occur after that COVID-19 vaccine. "The increased stability will allow the Pfizer vaccine to be more easily accessible in remote locations across the world." As India sees record COVID-19 cases, experts say Canada should do more to expand global vaccine access-Chagla says it could also allow for the Pfizer vaccine to be transported more easily to countries experiencing devastating surges of COVID-19, such as India, which recorded the highest number of deaths in a single day of any country on Tuesday."From a global standpoint it's huge … you could really expand how you do a vaccine campaign globally," he said. "As long as you can transport it to point X and then put it in refrigeration temperature you have a lot more options." Bogoch says we could potentially see this vaccine transported on "the back of a motorcycle" or the "back of a lorry" in smaller clinics in developing nations. "This really helps because you can mobilize this vaccine more readily in lower resource settings outside of bigger centres. I think that's the key point," Bogoch said. Kelvin says she hopes the potential change in storage conditions could even bring down the cost of the Pfizer vaccine since ultra-cold temperatures of up to –80 C may not be necessary for shipping. The Pfizer vaccine is estimated to cost about $19.50 US per dose in the United States, a price that Kelvin says is "astronomically" higher than the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine. It ranges from between $2 and $5 US per dose.
Japan suspends 1.6 million Moderna Covid vaccine doses over contamination concerns-Published Updated Thu, Aug 26 20218:17 PM EDT-Rich Mendez @richmendezcnbc
Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare suspended the use of more than 1.6 million doses of Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine Thursday following reports of contaminated vials at multiple vaccination sites there.Takeda Pharmaceuticals, which distributes the vaccine in Japan for Moderna, said it notified the ministry after several vaccination sites reported an unspecified foreign object found in one specific lot.“We requested that Moderna, the product owner and manufacturer, conduct a thorough investigation to determine the precise root cause of the issue,” Takeda said in a statement.Takeda also said that it is not aware of any “significant safety concerns” stemming from the contaminated doses-Two years since Covid was first confirmed in U.S., the pandemic is worse than anyone imagined-Judge blocks Biden vaccine mandate for federal workers in latest blow to White House Covid agenda-Kids’ Covid hospitalizations hit pandemic high, worrying doctors and parents-Children under 5 aren’t eligible for Covid shots. Doctors have this advice to protect them from omicron.Omicron might be the worst Covid gets when it comes to transmissibility, experts predict.Arguing with your partner over Covid? You’re not alone, with the pandemic straining many relationships-Moderna said it’s been notified of the problem and is looking into it.“The company is investigating the reports and remains committed to working expeditiously with its partner, Takeda, and regulators to address this,” Moderna wrote in a statement.Moderna said it believes the manufacturing issue was generated in one of the lines used at its contract manufacturing site in Spain, adding that it didn’t appear to affect the safety or efficacy of the shots.“Given the company’s priority to assure quality, and out of an abundance of caution, Moderna has put this lot and two adjacent lots on hold,” the company said.Rovi, the Spanish pharma company that bottles Moderna vaccines, said it is investigating the situation and that the contamination seems to be limited to some batches meant to be distributed to Japan, according to Reuters. Rovi shares dropped 13% in midday trading.Takeda discovered the contaminated vials on Aug. 16 and reported it to Japanese officials on Wednesday, according to NBC News. The company said the delay was because the contamination of the vials and affected countries needed to be confirmed.Japan’s chief cabinet secretary, Katsunobu Kato, told reporters Thursday that contaminated doses were administered to an unknown number of Japanese residents, though there have been no reports of ill effects, according to The New York Times.Doses from the contaminated lot were administered between Aug. 6 and Aug. 20 at a vaccination site in Osaka run by Japan’s defense ministry, according to Reuters, but it is unclear if any of the doses used were contaminated.Doses from the contaminated lot were set to be used at mass vaccination sites at large companies and universities, but all have been halted, according to Reuters.All of the contaminated vials were manufactured in Spain. It is still unclear if other countries besides Japan have been affected, though the European Medicines Agency said it’s also looking into the issue.“EMA is investigating the matter and has requested the marketing authorisation holder to provide information on any potential impact on batches supplied to the EU in addition to details on the ongoing root cause investigation,” the agency said in a statement to Reuters.Moderna told CNBC there is “no evidence” that other countries could have been affected because “the lot comes from a batch that was manufactured exclusively for Japan.”Moderna said there is no “expected timeframe for completion” of the investigation into the contaminated doses but that it is working with its contract manufacturer, its distributor and the government.
‘Slow-roll’ protest planned by Quebec truckers against COVID-19 vaccination mandate-By Brayden Jagger Haines Global News-Posted January 20, 2022 12:12 pm
CBC-Hundreds of truckers set off from B.C. for Ottawa in 'Freedom Rally' against federal vaccine mandate-Sun, January 23, 2022, 6:43 p.m.
Hundreds of truckers set off from British Columbia to Ottawa on Sunday to protest a federal vaccine mandate despite the urgings of the country's largest trucking union to comply.The protest has been dubbed the "Freedom Rally" against the federal mandate for cross-border truckers, which went into effect on Jan. 15.Canadian truck drivers now need to be fully vaccinated if they want to avoid a two-week quarantine and pre-arrival molecular test for COVID-19 before crossing into Canada.The Canadian Trucking Alliance and the American Trucking Associations say up to 26,000 of the 160,000 drivers who make regular trips across the Canada-U.S. border are likely to be sidelined as a result of the vaccine mandate.It sparked a movement online to protest the mandate, with a GoFundMe raising money for the trucking rally raising over $2.5M as of Sunday."The goal is we're going to get [to Ottawa] by next Friday, the 29th, and demand these mandates get stopped," said rally attendee Candace Hill on Sunday.Hill was speaking from Delta, B.C., where supporters and truckers had gathered before setting off on their cross-country trip.The protesters were supported by anti-vaccine-mandate protesters throughout the province, including in Kamloops in B.C.'s Interior.Candice Camille, a photographer who attended the Kamloops rally, said she was pleasantly surprised by the turnout there."For me, the mandates need to change to fit our society's lifestyle and people's freedoms," she said."[The mandates should also] give the people the protection and the support on the other side, the people who feel like they need that protection and support."Trade associations on both sides of the border have said the restriction would put additional strain on supply chains amid the latest COVID-19 surge and severe worker shortages.But the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA), a federation of the country's trucking unions, put out a statement on Saturday strongly disapproving of the protest.The statement says that the CTA's members should choose to hold an organized protest on Parliament Hill instead of disrupting public roadways and border crossings for over a week."This regulation is not changing so, as an industry, we must adapt and comply with this mandate," said CTA president Stephen Laskowski in the statement."The only way to cross the border, in a commercial truck or any other vehicle, is to get vaccinated."Laurent Flambourari, a truck driver and instructor at PBX Logistics in Burnaby, B.C., said the protests are a "bit too late" given the vaccine mandate went into effect a week ago."You have the total right to not get vaccinated. But again, that has an impact on your life and the consequences which comes along," he said.
