Ideological Stupidism
People continue to die unnecessarily and at the hands of the state, in my home and native land Canada. Why? Too many people have drunk the kool-aid.
Many times over the last year or so, I wanted to turn my pen again, towards the issue of Covid worship and all its associate intolerances and stupidities. I’ve refrained, just wanted to let that sleeping dog lie. However, this week something did happen that I just can’t tolerate. It’s so disgusting that I’ve got to scream, even if only through the English alphabet.
A death. Sheila Annette Lewis, who was dying of a terminal illness, was removed from a high priority organ transplant waiting list because she refused the COVID-19 vaccine. She is now gone. She died young, because the government refused to allow her an organ transplant. State murder. J’accuse.

It’s far from the first murder. One infamous case was that of Garnet Harper. From my neck of the woods, Sudbury, Northern Ontario. He ws denied an organ transplant on the same grounds and then on his death bed, his parents were asked to sign consent forms, so his organs could be donated when he died. I’m not making this up … He left behind 5 beautiful kids and a loving wife.
The Canada Health Act forbids discrimination of any kind but that’s never stopped those ideological minded politicians and bureaucrats of the Covid 19 cult. No. It’s an emergency, right? Wrong. And history has now shown the masked emperors wore no clothes.
“When one has an ideology that scapegoats defined groups, it opens up a world where murder is acceptable and a salve to one’s ills.”
But it gets worse. What filled me with anger was this tweet by my elected MP, Member of Parliament, Charlie Angus. I’ve been washing my hands all morning, I’ve shook his on many occasions and even shared a pint with him. I feel dirty. He tweeted she deserved to die …
There is no reasonable cause to deny anyone an organ transplant because they are not vaccinated. Nonewhatsoever. Yet, arguments are made. Along the lines of this paragraph below. Read the whole paper on the issue here. But even just reading this paragraph, you see how ludicrous, how Chairman Mao, the whole thought process is. Basically it amounts to - shut up and do as your are told. We own you and your body is ours. Shut the front door. There is no research, no supported findings that suggest having the COVID-19 vaccine in any way results in better outcomes for organ transplant recipients. None.
Four arguments are advanced to exclude COVID-19 vaccine refusers from transplant waitlists. First, vaccine refusers are to blame for being at risk for COVID-19 because the vaccine is easily available and free. Second, vaccine refusal is a sign of nonadherence. Transplant recipients must follow a very strict regimen and if they are unwilling to get vaccinated despite repeated recommendations, they should be excluded. Third, transplanting an unimmunized candidate may "waste" the organ due to an early preventable patient death, and if it causes graft and patient outcome requirements at a particular transplant program to fall short of Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services (CMS) requirements. it may place the transplant program’s Medicare participation at risk. Fourth, unvaccinated transplant candidates pose an unacceptable risk to their providers and other patient.
I guess the fight is eternal, vigilance is always needed. So many prefer to drink the kool-aid and not think for themselves. Sucked up into a mass formation psychosis, hey just want to turn off and join the crowd that shrieks out spiteful hymns of holier than thou.
I’ve lost a lot because of the pandemic. I took a lot on the chin, professionally and personally - especially with my own family. They were swept up and turned into Red Guards, caught on a wave of nouveau cultural revolution … and though their intolerance is waning, it is still there - they stand on guard for a certain absurd ideology that reaches into many corners.
But I will continue resisting those who deny the fundamental rights of others to their own beliefs and their own bodies.

Rest In Peace Sheila. The murderers will have their own souls to face in judgment.
