...all of this was for a 'virus' that according to their own government data had a 99.5% recovery rate in Nova Scotia
This project - to collect Nova Scotia government data and information via Freedom of Information requests is to honor those who intuitively knew that something was wrong but wanted the proof...we got the proof.
I want to be clear: Based on their own government data that I have collected over the past three years there was no indication of a serious "novel Corona virus" or a life-threatening COVID-19 illness in Nova Scotia. After doing 80+ Freedom of Information requests and reviewing hundreds and hundreds of pages of records, I have found no evidence that a pandemic ever happened in this province.
Yes, people tested positive for "COVID-19" - a corona virus. In Nova Scotia in two years there were over 1.5 million PCR test completed at a cycle threshold that ranged from 37-42. (there are only about 1 million people in the province) Approximately 20,000 people tested positive and 114 died in two years. Most of those were in long term care, at the end of life, with other very serious comorbidities. One hundred and fourteen deaths out of 20,000 positives is less than 1% IN TWO YEARS! We're we told that there was a 99% survival rate? 114 died of "COVID-19" out of over 20,000 total deaths in Nova Scotia. Again, COVID was less than 1%.
VIDEO (no sound): What Houston and Strang AREN'T Telling you about COVID-19 in Nova Scotia. (7 Minutes)
If you don't have a lot of time, this seven minute video captures a basic overview of some of the information that I uncovered. Link is here.
However, with the rollout of the vaccine, the vaccine mandates and the vaccine passport something very disturbing has started to happen in January 2022: a significant uptick in deaths in this province.
This is evident prior to the mandates being lifted on March 21, 2022 and after 85% of the population of Nova Scotians had been vaccinated - and it seems to be tied specifically to the rollout of the third shot also referred to as 'the booster.'
What is even more disturbing is that no one in government, the mainstream media, or the medical community is publicly talking about it. But I want to reassure you that thousands of us have done our own research and know.
INTRODUCTION
The information on this website on COVID-19 has been compiled by applying to the Nova Scotia government for Freedom of Information (FOI) records. You can request records, pay $5 and recieve responses directly from the government. It is their data, their numbers.
NEWSLETTERS TO DOWNLOAD AND DISTRIBUTE
Two Newsletters contain COVID-19 Nova Scotia government data for distribution or for quick reference.
click here to download Nova Scotia Health Newsletter #1 click here to download Nova Scotia Health Newsletter #2What is a Freedom of Information request?
Information Access and Privacy (IAP) Services does not answer questions or provide analyzed data. They provide government records. Therefore, we are required to piece the records together to uncover the truth. Why did I do this? Because I felt that the government, politicians and media were lying and I was concerned that these records would disappear one day.
Sections of the Act are often used to not provide a record or response. Also, the record can be redacted (blacked out) and therefore it does not provide information that we are seeking. They can use a tactic and charge significant and unaffordable fees which can deter access.
Records were received from the Department of Health and Wellness (DHW) where Dr. Robert Strang, the N.S. Chief Medical Officer of Health is a public servant; the Nova Scotia Health Authority, a registered charity that is in charge of operating our Nova Scotia hospitals and is funded by the DHW; the Premier's Office; the Department of Education; Nova Scotia Vital Statistics; Statistics Canada; and the Nova Scotia COVID-19 Dashboard website.
Many people have kindly offered me a financial contribution to help me pay for the work that I have done and I just felt that it was "my part" - my contribution. However, upon reflection, I am blocking my ability to receive such kind offers! Therefore, I would like to express my openness to you if you feel called and would like to send a few dollars. There is absolutely no obligation. I needed to do this. It was a therapy...a healing... to uncover the truth. The email to make a donation is shellyhipson@protonmail.com

Good morning,
You have submitted a new request to the Department of Health and Wellness under FOIPOP file 2022-02123-HEA. The scope is duplicate to a response provided under 2022-01408-HEA. A decision was issued on this scope and the response was provided to you on October 11, 2022. Can you let me know if there is something further that you were asking for within this new request?
Kind regards, Melinda Frelick, BSc, CIAPP-P IAP Administrator/ Team Lead Information Access and Privacy (IAP) Services Service Nova Scotia and Internal Services Address: PO Box 72, Halifax, NS B3J 2L4 Phone: (902)424-6920
Back to Melinda on Dec 22, 2022, 7:21 PM
In my request I asked for the number of people who have died, by dose and age from 14 days to 12 months + after getting the COVID-19 vaccines.The information in the FOI is Fatal Adverse Events Following Immunization by vaccine death interval, dose and age group. The request that I made was more general. I'm not asking for those who have died due to an AEFI...but just died within those time frames and the reasons why they died. The reason for asking this is that I have read reports that there is an increase in the number of deaths after vaccination but the government is not attributing them to the vaccination. People within a year are dying of strokes, clots, stillbirths etc. which would not be linked to the vaccine at this point. In the military in the states they are seeing pulmonary diseases go through the roof in 2021. Thyroid disorders, cardiac...it's crazy. Also in Israel, the same thing is happening. So I was wondering what data we have here on the number of deaths after vaccination...time frame and ages.
Frelick, Melinda
Good afternoon,
I am finding it hard to understand the records you are asking for with this request. DHW is monitoring the effects of the vaccine through the AEFI reporting. If they are finding a causal relationship between symptoms such as a clot and the vaccine it is recorded as an AEFI. If you are asking about records regarding general causes of death outside of those recorded as AEFI this would be information found through vital statistics.
Jan 21, 2023, 12:00 PM to Melinda
In 2022-1408-HEA it states that the temporal criteria is that localized events occurring within 7 days, systemic events occurring within 7 days, allergic events occurring within 48 hours, neurologic events occurring within 56 days, other events within 1 month. What I want are those number of days removed...because I feel that people may have a death after one month due to the vaccine - or they may have a neurological event on day 58 for example. That's what I am looking for. If they are only tracking those who fall within this very narrow criteria then in my opinion they are not tracking the full picture of what is happening. Clots for a heart attack may take months to develop as the clots can be very very small. We are all different and react differently to a 'treatment.'
Frelick, Melinda
Under FOIPOP 2022-01408-HEA you had asked for number of people who died after getting a COVID-19 Vaccine and the Department responded under the way they track this information and what they consider a death associated with the vaccine. If you are unhappy about the response to that request, or think that information is missing you would need to submit a review to the OIPC. For this request, if you would like causes of death information outside the parameters for how DHW track deaths after vaccination this would be information held under vital statistics with SNSIS. Let me know how you would like to proceed.
Jan 23, 2023, 10:41 AM to Melinda
Hello Melinda - I think I finally got what you are saying. So you write: if you would like causes of death information outside the parameters for how DHW track deaths after vaccination this would be information held under vital statistics with SNSIS. So from that I take it that DHW is NOT monitoring deaths beyond the dates outlined - so when people die on a day after the 'deadline' they are not tracked by DHW. But you are telling me that SNSIS does? If this is the case, then yes, I would like it transferred. However, it is most concerned that the department responsible for the rollout is not tracking this...
Frelick, Melinda
DHW confirmed that: There are nationally determined definitions/criteria for what is reportable as a COVID AEFI. Those criteria guide what is entered into our public health information system, Panorama. We are unable to pull out data using other criteria because data won’t exist for other criteria. I was not saying that SNSIS tracks deaths related to the vaccine. I was stating that they could provide causes of death in general.
I GAVE UP - AND CONCLUDED THAT THEY ARE NOT TRACKING ANY ADVERSE EVENTS FOLLOWING THE COVID-19 VACCINE AFTER 30 DAYS EVEN THOUGH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT BLOOD CLOTTING DISORDERS AND RECURRING CANCER ARE AEFI.

1. OVERVIEW TO PROVIDE CONTEXT OF NOVA SCOTIA GOVERNMENT COVID-19 DATA
The following is my opinion from reading hundreds of pages of documents that I have received from Nova Scotia government departments and the Nova Scotia Health Authority.
First, FOIPOP 2021-01142-HEA tells us in the Data Notes the definition of a Deceased COVID-19 case. Let's read it carefully
DECEASED CASE:
- A probable or confirmed COVID-19 case whose death resulted from a clinically compatible illness, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death identified (e.g., trauma, poisoning, drug overdose).
- A Medical Officer of Health, relevant public health authority, or a coroner may use their discretion when determining if a death was due to COVID-19, and their judgement will supersede the above-mentioned criteria.
- A death due to COVID-19 may be attributed when COVID-19 is the cause of death or is a contributing factor.
This definition was created by the World Health Organization and distributed to Chief Medical Officers across Canada by the Public Health Agency of Canada.
Process it for a moment - read it a couple of times.
There was a world wide pandemic based on this gibberish: A COVID-19 deceased case can be probable, not confirmed - and can be a clinically compatible illness. It does not have to be the cause of death ...only has to be a contributing factor and those working in health care can use their discretion.
Have you ever heard of a definition so loosey goosey? A person would have to die of a drug overdose or poisoning for it NOT to be COVID-19 Deceased Case.
And voila - that is how a so called pandemic is born out of Wuhan China.
But let's keep going shall we?
In 2019, overall deaths from Diseases of the Respiratory System totaled 895 deaths and in 2020, there were 827; a decrease of 68 respiratory deaths during a pandemic. (FOI 2022-00455-SNSIS)
PCR TESTING:
The population of Nova Scotia is around 1,007,049. There were 238,474 PCR tests done in 2020 and 1,347,912 PCR tests done in 2021 totalling 1,586,386 tests in two years and 1,564,643 or 98.6% of the test results were NEGATIVE. --- Sounds like a scary pandemic to me. --- FOIPOP 2022-00445-HEA Table I.
In 2020, there were 1,493 positives and in 2021 there were 18,953 positives totalling 20,446 positives in two years and 65 people died in 2020 and deaths decreased to 49 in 2021 which is 114 people.
Basic math tells us that 114 deaths out of 20,446 positives works out to be 0.55% of the positive cases died in two years. Let's turn that around shall we? 20,332 of the 20,446 (99.5%) of the positive tests lived. FOIPOP 2022-00445-HEA Table I and Table 3.
Question: Does this sound like a deadly virus that escaped from lab in China with a recovery of 99.5%? Let's dig deeper.
LIFE EXPECTANCY, MEDIAN AGE & COMORBIDITIES (Other illnesses or conditions people have at time of death)
The life expectancy in Nova Scotia is 80 and those that are dying of COVID - The median age is 83 years old.
Yes, those dying of COVID are living longer than the life expectancy of Nova Scotians. (NS COVID-19 Dashboard)
Let's learn details on the comorbidities that people had when we were told that they died of COVID-19. (FOI 2021-01142-HEA)
For all of 2020 up to June 17, 2021, politicians and Strang with the use of the media bombarded us daily with COVID-19 deaths and hospitalizations and the total number of COVID-19 deaths was 90. Remember that a COVID death can be probable and from a clinically compatible illness and around 10,000 people die from all causes in Nova Scotia each year.)
Of those 90:
Fifty-four(54) had cardiac disorders (60%)
Forty-nine (49) had neurological conditions (54%)
Nineteen (19) had diabetes (21%)
Seventeen(17) had pulmonary disorders (18.9%)
Ten (10) had chronic renal disease (11.1%)
Six (6) had cancer (6.7%)
Five (5) had immunocompromised conditions (5.6%)
Eighty-seven percent of COVID-19 deaths were 65 years of age or older.
13.3% of COVID-19 deaths were under the age of 65 years old.
We also learn that it was not required to track comorbidities. How interesting. The largest pandemic in the world and other diseases these people had did not need to be recorded.
We know that 53 of the 65 who died in 2020 were living in Northwood - a Long Term Care facility in Halifax. In FOI (_______) we learn that even though people were at the end of life in Northwood, if they tested positive, they were instructed to mark them down as COVID-19 deaths.
My thoughts are that these residents were at the end of life and had serious comorbidities. If no autopsies were done then they most likely died from the other serious illnesses and diseases that developed through their life time and not COVID-19. People at the end of life who die naturally, typically fill up with fluid making it difficult to breathe. click here to download Northwood emailRELATIVE RISK BETWEEN THE UNVACCINATED (NO SHOTS) AND THE VACCINATED.
The monthly online Epidemiologic Summaries put out by the Department of Health and Wellness states:
Unvaccinated Nova Scotians were hospitalized and died at almost three times the rate as those with three or more doses (hospitalized = 2.7; died=2.5)
At first glance I thought, "This can't be" - how can the unvaccinated hospitalizations and deaths be higher?
However, when I read it a few more times, I questioned if they were comparing the unvaccinated with those who got the boosters only and not including those with the first two doses.
Therefore, I asked for the step by step relative risk calulation.
In FOIPOP 2022-01337-HEA, the Department of Health and Wellness confirms in their response that the relative risk is not between the unvaccinated and the vaccinated but between those who are unvaccinated (0 shots) and those with three doses and did not include those with the first two shots.
Intentionally publizing misleading data such as this negatively targetted the unvaccinated. This created much anger, divide, and hate against those, who for whatever reason, did not want their political medical treatment. This scewed data scared people into getting additional COVID-19 vaccinations thinking that they needed added protection - when in fact this so called virus had close to a 100% recovery rate. Thousands of people were shunned from society and lost their jobs.
Reading it at first glance, people would have concluded that those who did not get the shots were being hospitalized and dying from COVID-19 at a higher rate and therefore were spreading the disease and this was not the case.

On October 11, 2022 I followed up and requested the following records on Relative Risk:
I would like to receive all records on COVID-19 relative risk calculations held by the Department that compares the outcomes in the following two different groups of people:
1. The unvaccinated with no doses of the COVID-19 vaccine (Zero) with 2. Those who have had two doses and three doses and more doses of the COVID-19 vaccines - those who have been vaccinated. 3. All records on relative risk calculated for different age groups comparing the unvaccinated (0 doses) with those who are vaccinated; those who have received two doses, two doses and the booster, and fourth dose) If a copy of the calculations are available, please include those as well. (Date Range for Record Search: From 3/19/2022 To 10/7/2022)
Their response?
After a file search, we have located no records responsive to your application. Therefore, it is my understanding, pursuant to clause 7(2)(b) of the Act, that the Department of Health and Wellness does not have custody or control of records which would respond to your application.
A response was provided under FOIPOP 2022-01337-HEA that includes relative risk calculation information.
The Department does not hold further records that show the relative risk calculations as indicated in the scope of your request. The calculations are completed with computer software based on the data in the Panorama Information System and tables are generated to report in the monthly epidemiological summaries on our website: (Coronavirus (COVID-19): alerts, news and data - Government of Nova Scotia, Canada).
Click here to download Relative Risk response for 2022-01337-HEAThe Department of Health and Wellness with a budget of over $4 billion did not have one single person in their department that worked out the calculation comparing the unvaccinated with the vaccinated during a pandemic.
They made it mandatory for people to show a vaccine passport to show that they were vaccinated but didn't even bother to calculate the relative risk between these two groups of people to see if there was a difference.
DATA ON COVID-19 DEATHS AFTER THE ROLLOUT
What about COVID-19 deaths after Dr. Robert Strang and politicians pushed an 85% vaccination rate on people?
According to their data:
In 2020, there were 65 deaths with or from COVID-19.
In 2021, there were 49 deaths with or from COVID-19.
In 2022, there were 738 deaths with or from COVID-19 in hospital. (FOI NSHA-2024-046)
click here to download imageWhen did we start to see an increase in COVID-19 deaths?
January 2022.
What happened in December 2021 and January 2022?
They ramped up the booster.
In October 2021, there were 3,150 booster shots given.
In November 2021, there were 26,141 booster shots given.
In December 2021 there were 108,259 booster shots given.
In January 2022 there were 302,242 booster shots given.
click here to download imageEXCESS DEATHS AND THE BOOSTER
In 2020, in Nova Scotia in the middle of this 'pandemic' there were negative -105 (Less) excess deaths.
Statistics Canada expected/estimated that there would be 10,048 and there were 9,943 in 2020.
In 2021, Stats Can expected there would be 10,072 deaths and there were 10,187 deaths. Therefore, there were 115 excess deaths.
In 2022, there were 1,062 Excess Deaths in Nova Scotia.
Statistics Canada Excess Deaths Information can be found here:
Stats Can Information on Excess Deaths by Province
We also learn from Stats Can that in "The third week of January 2022 was the deadliest week in Canada since the pandemic began, with 27% more deaths than what would have been expected. Nationally, there were 8,286 more deaths than expected from the beginning of January 2022 to the end of February 2022, or 16.8% more deaths than expected over that period. During this period of excess mortality, the highest number of deaths and the highest weekly rate of excess mortality of the pandemic were recorded in the third week of January 2022, with 26.8% more deaths than expected. Put differently, over one in five deaths durring this week would not have been expected."
My hypothesis based on looking at the timing of the rollout numbers.
We need to investigate the deaths of those who died after getting the booster. Based on the information that I have gathered there is a relationship between excess deaths and specifically the third shot.
Recap:
There were 3,150 boosters injected into Nova Scotians arms in October 2021.
There were 26,141 boosters administered in November 2021.
There were 108,259 boosters injected in December 2021.
There were 302,242 boosters injected in January 2022.
And there were 64,540 boosters injected into Nova Scotians in February 2022.
It was in January 2022 that we see a rise in deaths. It wasn't until March 21, 2022 that some of the government restrictions were removed. By then, they told us that 85% of the population in Nova Scotia had two doses and were considered 'vaccinated' or 'immunized.'
Excess Deaths Spreadsheet
I took the Excess Death numbers from Stats Can and put them in an excel spreadsheet to add the numbers. A copy of that is here: (it needs to be updated)
click here to download spreadsheetASYMPTOMATIC TESTING AND DEATHS
What about asymptomatic deaths and the total number of people who died in Nova Scotia?
As well, we learn from Table 2 FOIPOP 2021-01575 that from March 22, 2020 to August 19, 2021 that of the 5,884 total COVID-19 cases, that 4,411 of the people had symptoms and 1,473 did not thus 25% were asymptomatic. In Table 3 Number of COVID-19 Deaths from March 22, 2020 to August 19, 2021 it is noted that no one who was asymptomatic died from COVID.
In FOI NSHA 2021-185 I ask for, "Any record, proof, document, report that an asymptomatic positive COVID-19 case is contagious and spread to others in Nova Scotia.
Guess what...after a thorough search...there was no record.
CONTEXT ON THE NUMBER OF TOTAL DEATHS IN NOVA SCOTIA EACH YEAR
Over-all total deaths:
To help put all these numbers into perspective we learn from FOIPOP 2022-00455-SNSIS that in 2020, a total of 9,964 died from all causes in Nova Scotia and 65 of them were COVID or 0.65%; less than 1%.
In 2021, a total of 10,072 died from all causes and 49 were COVID or 0.48%. Again, less than 1%.
In two years, 20,036 people died in Nova Scotia from all causes and 114 were COVID or 0.56%. Less than 1% of the deaths in two years – during a ‘pandemic’ were COVID.
That means that 19,922 people who died in Nova Scotia in 2020 and 2021 or 99.43% died from other causes. NOT COVID-19.
In a FOIPOP “Dump” from Nova Scotia Health we learn in FOIPOP NSHA-2020-69 that thirty-three people died in 2020 when life-saving surgeries were cancelled throughout Nova Scotia.
COVID-19 GENERAL AND ICU HOSPITALIZATIONS
What were the COVID-19 ICU Hospitalizations from January 2020 to July 31, 2021 (19 months)? Did any hospitals in Nova Scotia with ICU beds have no COVID-19 ICU hospitalizations?
According to FOIPOP 82 Data from the Nova Scotia Health Authority there are 10 hospitals that have ICU beds; 1.) Aberdeen Hospital 2.) Cape Breton Health Care Complex 3.)Colchester Regional 4.) Cumberland Regional 5.) Darmouth General 6.) QEII/VG and Halifax Infirmary 7.) South Shore Regional 8.) St. Martha's Regional 9.) Valley Regional and 10.) Yarmouth Regional.
Between January 1, 2020 to July 31, 2021 – in a year and a half during this pandemic - there were ZERO (0) COVID-19 ICU hospitalizations at five out of the 10 ICU hospitals;
1.) Aberdeen Hospital had ZERO (0) COVID-19 ICU hospitalizations out of a total of 857 ICUs.
2.) Cumberland Regional had ZERO (0) COVID out of 443 ICUs.
3.) South Shore Regional had ZERO (0) COVID out of 512 ICUs.
4.) St. Martha’s Regional had ZERO (0) COVID out of 692 ICUs.
5.) Yarmouth Regional had ZERO (0) COVID out of 575 ICUs.
The following Nova Scotia ICU Hospitals saw 2% or less of COVID-19
6.) Cape Breton Health Care Complex had 10 COVID-19 ICUs out of 1,494 or COVID was 0.67% of the total.
7.) Colchester had 9 out of 1,103 ICUs or 0.82%.
8.) Dartmouth General had 5 out of 754 ICUs or 0.66%.
9.) QEII, the VG and Halifax Infirmary together had 74 ICUs out of 4,608 ICUs or 1.6%.
10.) Valley Regional had 12 out of 589 ICUs or 2.03%.
I just want to add that in 2020, Aberdeen Hospital reduced their number of ICU beds from 10 to 6 in April of 2020. In February of 2021, Cape Breton Health Care went from 23 ICU beds to 22. Cumberland went from 7 to 5 in April 2021. The QEII/VG & HI increased from 39 to 44 in April 2020 and then back down to 43 in April 2021. Colchester stayed at 8, Darmouth stayed at 8, South Shore stayed at 5, St. Martha's stayed at 6, Valley Regional stayed at 7, and Yarmouth Regional stayed at 7.
There were 110 COVID-19 ICU Hospitalizations out of a total of 11,627 ICU Hospitalizations in 2020 and up to July 31, 2021. That's 0.95% of the total that were COVID-19 ICU Hospitalizations. Turn that around...99.05% were ICU hospitalizations due to OTHER CAUSES. This information is from FOIPOP NSHA-2021-109 and "Copy of FOIPOP 109 Data Updated."
In FOIPOP “Copy of FOIPOP 82 Data Updated” from Nova Scotia Health, I went back to 2015 to compare total ICU hospitalizations by hospital in Nova Scotia.The following are total ICU hospitalizations by year.
In 2015 there were a total of 7,906 ICU hospitalizations.
In 2016 there were a total of 8,300 ICU hospitalizations.
In 2017, there were a total of 8,024 ICU hospitalizations.
In 2018, there were a total of 8,005 ICU hospitalizations.
In 2019, there were a total of 7,708 ICU hospitalizations.
In 2020, there were a total of 7,306 ICU hospitalizations.
(Yes, during a ‘pandemic’ there were the least ICU hospitalizations going back to 2015.)
FYI In 2021, up to September there were 5,855 ICU hospitalizations.
In April of 2021 this same FOIPOP shows us that there was a reduction in ICU beds from 121 beds to 117. (4 less beds for the months of May (31 days), June (30 days), July (31 days), August (31 days), September (30 days), October (31 days), November (30 days) and December (31 days) totals a reduction of 245 days x 4 bed reduction = 980 nights...during a so called pandemic.
Did any hospitals in Nova Scotia have no COVID-19 general admissions (not ICU)?
The following hospitals had ZERO (0) COVID-19 hospitalizations up to October 2021. (This was the date I submitted the FOIPOP):
Annapolis Community Health Centre had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Buchanan Memorial Community Health had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Digby General had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Eastern Memorial Hospital had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Eastern Shore Memorial Hospital had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Fisherman’s Memorial Hospital had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Queens General Hospital had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Roseway Hospital had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Sacred Heart Community Centre had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
St. Mary’s Memorial had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Strait Richmond Hospital had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Twin Oaks Memorial Hospital had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Victoria County Memorial Hospital had ZERO (0) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
The following hospitals had LESS THAN FIVE (>5) COVID-19 general hospitalizations:
Inverness Consolidated Memorial had LESS THAN FIVE (>5) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
Musquodoboit Valley Memorial had LESS THAN FIVE (>5) general hospitalizations.
Northside General Hospital had LESS THAN FIVE (>5) COVID-19 general hospitalizations.
To help once again put the numbers in perspective, in May 2021 at the QEII, VG, and the Halifax Infirmary, they had a total of 200 COVID-19 hospitalizations which sounded scary to everyone. It totalled 10% of their hospitalizations for that month Ninety percent were for other illnesses or conditions.
The question is - were they in hospital FOR COVID? or where they in for other reasons and tested positive with a PCR test that is unreliable at detecting illness.
REDUCTION IN HOSPITAL BEDS
Also, we also learn in FOI NS-2022-004 that there were 3,198 total Staffed Inpatient Beds as of April 2020 and 3,239 Staffed Inpatient Beds as of April 1, 2021.
INFORMATION ON ALL REASONS WHY PEOPLE WERE ADMITTED INTO HOSPITAL IN NS TO PROVIDE CONTEXT
And in FOIPOP NSHA 2021-181 I requested data on all the reasons why people were admitted into hospital by the most responsible diagnosis. The response had 82 pages with 72 different reasons on each page totalling 5,904 different reasons why people were admitted. “COVID-19 Virus Identified” was only one reason and “COVID-19 causing adverse effects in therapeutic use” was another. This was from December 14, 2020 to September 30, 2021.
SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE IN COVID-19 HOSPITALIZATIONS IN 2022 AFTER 85% IMMUNIZATION RATE
General admissions/hospitalizations (not ICU) for COVID-19 are below. The totals are not firm because they say that I might be able to determine personal medical information if they give me the exact number so they use >5 (less than five) if there are 1,2,3 or 4 people. Therefore, I left the <5 out and just added the numbers five and above.
The number of COVID-19 hospitalizations for 2020 was 239 people.(NO VACCINE.)
The number of COVID-19 hospitalizations for 2021 was 721 people.(ROLLOUT WAS HAPPENING.)
The number of COVID-19 hospitalizations for 2022 was 6,187 people. (This is only up to the end of October 2022.)

This Nova Scotia government website was changed as of the week of February 7, 2023:
Here are a few examples that were captured prior to those changes being made:
As of December 8, 2021:
Vaccination status of deaths:
19% have 0-1 dose
28% have had 2 doses
53% have had 3 doses
Eighty-one percent (81%) of the deaths were fully vaccinated.
As of October 18, 2022:
Hospitalizations by vaccine status:
6% have had zero doses
6% have had one dose
20% have had two doses
27% have had three doses
41% have had four doses
They tell us that a total of 49 people are in hospital with COVID. A reminder: There is a total of 3,239 staffed Inpatient Beds in Nova Scotia. (FOI NSHA-2022-005) Forty-nine hospitalizations out of 3,239 beds is 1.5 %. Thus, 98.5% are NOT COVID-19 hospitalizations.
94% have had at least one dose and 88% are fully vaccinated.
As of February 7, 2023:
Hospitalization by vaccine status:
4% had 0 doses
4% had 1 dose
21% had 2 doses
36% had 3 doses
36% had 4 doses
93% of the hospitalizations were fully vaccinated.
As of February 7, 2023:
Deaths by vaccine status:
16% had 0 or 1 dose
23% had 2 doses
61% had 3 doses
Those details are now not available online.

ADVERSE EVENTS FOLLOWING IMMUNIZATION FROM THE NOVA SCOTIA COVID-19 DASHBOARD WEBSITE
From the "Nova Scotia COVID-19 Dashboard" website we can download "Adverse Events Following Immunization" (AEFI)data. This is supposed to be updated monthly, however the last one posted was on September 30, 2022. It is noted in the September 30, 2022 document that BLOOD CLOTTING DISORDERS has been added to "Figure 1: Number of the ten most frequently reported adverse events following immunization for COVID-19 from December 16, 2020 to September 30, 2022. Also mentioned is that they are 'cleaning' the data.
Were "Blood Clotting Disorders" like heart attack, stoke, clots in your arms, legs, and organs mentioned in the consent form?

The truth was censored. And it's still being censored costing people their health and their lives. I sent a lot of my freedom of information responses to every MLA in the province and then branched out to every MLA and Premier in the Atlantic Provinces about excess deaths. Not one response.
Link to an article by CBC, "Nova Scotia tight-lipped about spike in deaths," dated March 7, 2023. They don't know why...but we know why.
Nova Scotia tight lipped about spike in deaths" --------------------------------------------------------------------------One of the most disturbing Freedom of Information response that I have received is this one: 2022-01349-HEA.
The response confirms that while Dr. Robert Strang was making his ORDERS under the Health Protection Act - and no one questioned him - not one person in the media - not one person that I know of in health care - not one MLA or the Premier would stand in his way...his staff, other Medical Officers around the province, wrote to him stating that people had experienced severe allergic reactions on December 23, 2020 and one of them was instructed to take the second dose. A woman died after getting the Moderna vaccine in Long Term Care on January 28, 2021. Another had a stroke on April 15, 2021. Then a male had a neurological reaction/encephalopathy. Another person on June 1, 2021 suffers from Vaccine Induced Vaccine-Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenia (VITT).How is it possible that the person put in charge, the Chief Medical Officer - knowing this - continued to demand that people get the vaccine? He and the premier were determined to have 85% of the population of Nova Scotia injected with a "warp speed" vaccine to stop a virus that had a 99.5% recovery. If they didn't get injected, Health Care workers would have to go on unpaid leave.
That man got up every day - dress up in a suit - got in front of the camera and said...that these were "safe and effective" - knowing that people were injured and died. (This should not be a surprise - vaccinated people died in the trials. Did Strang even read the monograph? Or was he just a puppet for big pharma.)
How is it that he felt that it was right to prohibit kids from playing sports unless they were injected with this? Based on Nova Scotia numbers it had a 99.5% recovery in our province!
Throughout the response to this request are "Media Lines on Some Vaccine issues for you" that Strang receives from the Public Health Agency of Canada and sends on to Communications Nova Scotia. These "lines" are sent to people like Dr. Robert Strang, Dr. Teresa Tam, Deena Hinshaw, Bonnie Henry etc. to tell everyone what to say. Also in these "media lines" we learn that in January 2021 the PHAC did not know if it would stop transmission.

I would like to congratulate CANS for their determination and dedication to the people of our province as they bravely wade through the court system and request a judicial review.
In the Health Protection Act it states in Section 32 the following: Powers respecting communicable diseases 32 (1) Where a medical officer is of the opinion, upon reasonable and probable grounds, that (a) a communicable disease exists or may exist or that there is an immediate risk of an outbreak of a communicable disease; (b) the communicable disease presents a risk to the public health; and (c) the requirements specified in the order are necessary in order to decrease or eliminate the risk to the public health presented by the communicable disease, the medical officer may by written order require a person to take or to refrain from taking any action that is specified in the order in respect of a communicable disease.
On our behalf they are asking the courts to look at whether Dr. Robert Strang worked within his powers under the Act or overstepped the authority that he was given. Was he justified?
I certainly have my opinion. There were people who were arrested for being outside. People were not to walk on a beach. They provided information that was out of context, there was pain and suffering, closures, isolation, loss of family, loss of friends, loss of employment, injuries and loss of life from the vaccines, loss of life from not getting timely life-saving surgeries, the inability to play sports, go to restaurants, attend church services, funerals, the inability to see loved ones before they died...all for a 'virus' with a 99.57% recovery rate in NS. There is something very wrong with this picture and I'm sure very pleased that we have some brave souls questioning this matter. You can click here to see the links to the record that the province provided the court. Thank you CANS.
CANS VERSUS STRANG - THE RECORD
FIVE SHORT VIDEOS ON FREEDOM OF INFORMATION RESPONSES
1. What Houston and Strang AREN'T Telling you about COVID-19 in Nova Scotia. (7 Minutes)
This video below captures the total ICU admissions in Nova Scotia for all causes and the FACT that only 0.94% of ICU hospitalizations were COVID-19 up to July 31, 2021; the total number of deaths in NS and the FACT that 0.65% were COVID. It takes us through the FACT that Nova Scotia had the lowest ICU admissions in 2020 and in April 2021 the NSHA reduced the number of ICU beds by four which is a reduction of 1,100 stays. There is data on the serious adverse events from the vaccine which may explain why some people don’t want to take it.
Link is here.2. COVID-19 in Nova Scotia: Behind the Scenes. (15 Minutes.)
This video provides context and background to what has been announced to the public for the past two years. It includes the number of tests, number of negatives, number of cases, number of COVID hospitalizations and ICUs per hospital in N.S., 25% of cases were asymptomatic and the fact that not one asymptomatic person has died from COVID. There is no record that a positive asymptomatic COVID-19 case has spread to another Nova Scotian. Also included are the minute notes on why COVID-19 treatments such as Ivermectin and Bamlanivimab not being permitted for use in N.S. YES there are treatments...(and you do have what people refer to as an immune system)...but public health forgot that point for the past two years. (15 minutes)

In the Nova Scotia Monthly COVID-19 Epidemiologic Summary dated August 24, 2022 it states that "Unvaccinated Nova Scotians were hospitalized at nearly four times the rate and died more than three times the rate as those with three or more doses." --- The key here is that they did NOT compare the unvaccinated with the vaccinated, but chose to compare the unvaccinated with only those with three or more doses. I'll walk you through this FOIPOP data confirming this.

NOVA SCOTIA HEALTH LARGE FOIPOP DUMP (DESCRIPTION AND LINK)
The Nova Scotia Health Authority does not have to post any of their FOIPOPs on-line. So I must say - I had a 'lightbulb moment' to do a FOIPOP in order to receive all the FOIPOPs on COVID-19. It's over 1900 pages and covers a number of significant topics including: the number of cancelled services which included 32,540 diagnostic imaging, 3,263 MRIs, 4,998 CT scans, 6,512 ultrasounds, 3,097 x-rays, 1,141 EKGs, 449 Eccho, 2,776 Mammo, 8,210 breast screening, 3,213 surgical cancellations in 2020); a result of this 33 people died because they needed life saving surgeries in a timely manner and the hospitals were closed down; the inserts to the rapid tests which indicate to me that a positive result means that it could be a co-infection, a bacterial infection or COVID-19 - the way it is written, it can't tell the difference between the three; Dr. Lisa Barrett advocating and doing presentations to NOT allow the use of Ivermectin; minutes on other treatments that they blocked from use and "kept" for a research study instead of using it to save lives; the Nova Scotia Health Authority pamphlet on COVID-19 states that it is pneumonia.(Did you ever hear Strang say that it was pneumonia?) It also shows an e-mail back and forth that shows that even though people at Northwood (a long term care facility in Halifax that had 53 of the 65 deaths in 2020)... were at the end of life they were instructed to mark them down as COVID-19 deaths. Why would they do this? To create fake numbers and drive up the fear? Click here to view this information.1. FOIPOP 2021-01108-HEA click here to download.

Chronicle Herald Coverage: Are Nova Scotians getting the full story on COVID Vaccine Safety
NOTES:
The NS Department of Health and Wellness provided me with the definitions of a "deceased case" and "vaccine status." They are as follows:
Deceased case: "A probable or confirmed COVID-19 case whose death resulted from a clinically compatible illness , unless there is a clear alternative cause of death identified (e.g., trauma, poisoning, drug overdose)." "A death due to COVID-19 may be attributed when COVID-19 is the cause of death or is a contributing factor. "
Vaccine status is defined as follows: "Unvaccinated: Individuals meeting the national confirmed case definition of COVID-19 and having illness onset: <14 days post first dose of any COVID-19 vaccine or after having received 0 doses of any COVID-19 vaccine."
So a deceased case can be probable and from a clinically compatible illness. It does not have to be confirmed. Interesting. They also lumped together those with NO SHOTS with those who have had one dose. Why did they decide to do that I wonder. So when they report that the unvaccinated are taking up hospital beds is it infact those who have had one shot?
Table 1: I learned that in 245 days, from December 13, 2020 to August 15, 2021 there were 4,555 cases and 29 deaths. Basic math tells us that 0.63% died who "got COVID." Less than 1%. 99.37% lived.(FOIPOP 2021-01142 above tells us the comorbidities that people had when they blamed it 100% on COVID-19. Those who died in 2020 were very sick and 82% died in Northwood. One facility.)
From Table 2: By week, from December 14, 2020 to August 22, 2021 - there were 754,384 of the 1st dose, 676,566 of the 2nd dose, for a total of 1,430,950 doses.
From Table 3: By week, from December 13, 2020 to August 22, 2021 - there were 400 non-serious adverse events following the COVID-19 vaccine. There were 83 serious adverse events. According to the definitions supplied in this FOIPOP the following is a Serious Adverse Event Following Immunization:
Definition of a Serious Adverse Event: An adverse event following immunization that has resulted in AT LEAST one of the following: Hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; Death or permanent disability/incapacity.

"We are refusing access to the records for the following reason pursuant to subsection 4(2) of the Act: • The Act does not apply to the following kinds of information in the custody or control of a public body:published information, material available for purchase and material that is a matter of public record.
Nova Scotia’s Covid -19 response actions have been based on national and international guidance from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). As the leading agencies for pandemic response nationally and internationally, both PHAC and WHO are continuously reviewing the evolving scientific evidence regarding COVID-19 and the effectiveness of various measures. These reviews are used to form their guidance, position statements, and other documents all of which are in the public domain.
The Government of Canada’s resources, including COVID-19 guidance documents, are available at https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-diseasecovid- 19.html
The WHO’s resources, including COVID-19 technical guidance, are available at https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019
The Department of Health and Wellness Public Health Branch continues to be in ongoing contact with PHAC and WHO as evidence has evolved throughout the pandemic. This includes as a participant in federal/provincial/territorial conversations, including committees and networks. This has enabled recommendations on public health measures to be informed by the most up to date evidence.Surely if Strang says that "the science is clear" - that he has a copy and has read the science - and would be willing to share it...but obviously not.They want me to go on a wild goose chase to find it.

This FOIPOP tells us the following government information that was not shared with the public to provide context:
In Table 1 we learn the following:
The total number of PCR "tests" performed by the Public Health labs is 238,474 in 2020.
Of those 238,474 test results, 236,820 were NEGATIVE. 1,493 tested positive. Out of the 1,493 positives, 65 died. (Table 3)
NOTE: 53 of the 65 were in one long term care facility called Northwood, the largest care facility in Nova Scotia.
In the "large NSHA FOIPOP" (link above) we learn that "someone" told management to mark down people that died as COVID even though they were "at the end of life."
Also in Table 1 we learn that in 2021 after they started injecting people with "the vaccine" the PCR "technology" (in my opinion it is not a 'test') was used 1,347,912 times on people in Nova Scotia. (This is more than the population of Nova Scotia.)
Of those 1,347,912 "tests" that were done, there were 1,327,823 PCR "tests" that were NEGATIVE meaning (in my opinion) that the majority of people in Nova Scotia who tested were negative...but we were not told this.
There were 18,953 who "tested positive." And from that, 49 people died "from COVID"(In Table 3) in 2021.
So in 2021, 49 people died "from COVID" out of 18,953 'cases' which is 0.25%...not even 1%.
And we learn in FOIPOP 2022-00547-HEA and FOIPOP 2021-01142-HEA and from Stats Can that the people who died had SERIOUS comorbidity issues. I would like to know how many people died who started out with a HEALTHY immune system. That might be another FOIPOP to do.
Please note too (to provide further context) that between 9,000 and 10,000 people die every year in Nova Scotia.
In 2022 after 80% plus of the population in Nova Scotia has been injected and people have been fired for not doing so (with something that doesn't work) the government data tells us that in January, February and March there have been a total of 201,567 tests done and 30,741 positives. 168,100 negatives.There are more positives now than in 2020 at the start of the pandemic because testing is still through the roof.
Also - to my knowledge the PCR test is NO LONGER USED in the States as of December 31, 2021. Florida dropped the test early in this so called pandemic due to the high Cycle Thresholds being used.
In Table 2 in 2020, of the 1,514 positive COVID-19 cases...718 had symptoms and 439 were asymptomatic or had no symptoms (because in my opinion they didn't have COVID. Actually in my opinion no one had COVID.) Three hundred and fifty-seven (357) people, it was unknown whether they had symptoms or not.
In 2021, of the 9,425 cases, 712 had symptoms and 2,138 did not...and 6,575 were unknown or not entered as to whether or not they had symptoms.
In Table 3 we learn that in 2020, 65 people died of COVID, in 2021 49 people died of COVID and in three months in 2022 (Jan-Mar...which March is incomplete) there were 118 people whom the government said died of COVID. (Were any autopsies done I wonder to confirm any of this?) So basically after being masked, shut down, injected...more people "died of COVID in 2022" in three months than in 2020 and 2021 combined.
In another person's FOIPOP we learn that the PCR technology was set between 38-42 Cycle Threshold at labs throughout Nova Scotia.

I would like to request an update on FOIPOP 2021-01142-HEA (to learn all the comorbidity data that the people had who died 'with' or 'from' COVID-19) with 1.) a breakdown in ages as follows: 0-12, 13-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69,70-79, 80-89, 90+ 2.) and a breakdown on how many of the total were fully vaccinated. 3. How many died of the total in Long Term Care or a nursing home. Please include an updated Table 1 with the age ranges noted above as well as Table 2 and Table 3. with a break down with how many were fully vaccinated. Thank you! (Date Range for Record Search: From 02/29/2020 To 03/31/2022)
Read carefully the definition of a "Confirmed Case," "Unvaccinated," and "Deceased Case." Very enlightening.
So Table 1 and 2 have to be redone to provide more accurate numbers. We need a breakdown of those who did not receive ANY SHOTS. Zero. They lump them together.
We can also see from Table 3 that of the 195 who died from "COVID" in Nova Scotia from February 29, 2020 to March 31, 2022, there were 67 with cardiac disorders, 54 with neurological conditions, 27 with diabetes, 22 with pulmonary disorders, 12 with chronic renal disease, 7 with cancer, 6 with immunocompromised conditions. (so what did these people REALLY die from? COVID or their conditions?

For part 3 of your request DHW does not hold information about the vaccination status of COVID-19 hospital. You may choose to follow up with Nova Scotia Health for this information.
What this FOIPOP tells us:
This is where I start to question what is happening to people who have received the booster. There are cases and hospitalizations increases with those who have two or more shots in December 2021. Don't take my word for it. Please look for yourself.

Table 4 is concerning. It's COVID 19 deaths by immunization status. From September 2021 to December 2021, there were 27 deaths from "COVID." Seven did not have any shots, and 20 had one or more doses. Then we see something strange happen in the next four months. Sixty-five had no shots who died and 132 had one or more doses. So out of the 197 who died of COVID during this time frame, 32% had no shots of vaccine and 67% had shots. In Table 6 we learn that 87 people have had a serious adverse reaction to the vaccine. A serious adverse event means that they are disabled, incapcitate or have died. That's pretty serious for a 'safe and effective' vaccine that injures people and doesn't work. Table 8 tells us that 11 people have died in Nova Scotia as a direct result of taking the vaccine.87 people have not recovered from a serious reaction to the vaccine and 7 are permanently disable and incapacitated. 27.

In the Nova Scotia Monthly COVID-19 Epidemiologic Summary dated August 9, 2022 it states that: "Age and lack of vaccination continue to be associated with severe outcomes. Unvaccinated Nova Scotians were hospitalized at nearly four times the rate and died more than three times the rate as those with three or more doses."
I would like to receive all records that show the step by step mathmatical calculation with supportive documentation and explanations - the calculation that was used to determine, support and justify this statement, that: "Unvaccinated Nova Scotians were hospitalized at nearly four times the rate and died more than three times the rate as those with three or more doses."

P 37 As mentioned above - I recognize as Christine Massey’s work who has a website - a worldwide collection of FOI responses from 141 institutions (41 of them Canadian) showing that "the virus" was never isolated/purified, and thus "it" has never been characterized, sequenced, or studied with controlled experiments. 4.

NOTES:
In 2019, there were 9,772 people who died in Nova Scotia from all causes.
In 2020, there were 9,964 people who died in Nova Scotia from all causes and we know that government said that 65 of them were "COVID."
In 2021 there were 10,072 people who died in Nova Scotia from all causes and we know that government said that 49 of them were "COVID."
So in 2020 and 2021 there were 20,036 people in Nova Scotia who died from all causes and 114 of them, the government said died of COVID. That's 0.56% of the deaths in two years was COVID.
Of the 114 "COVID deaths" at least 53 were at Northwood and at the end of life.
The FOIPOP response for categorizing the cause of death is incomplete for 2021 but let's look at 2019 and compare it to 2020.
Under section "IX. Diseases of the circulatory system TOTAL" we learn that in 2019, 14 males and 28 females died of Influenza totaling 42.
We also learn that the total for all causes of pneumonia was 154.
To help with perspective again, in section II in 2020, we can see that 1,553 males and 1,334 females died of Neoplasms - a total of 2887.
(What is a Neoplasm? An abnormal mass of tissue that forms when cells grow and divide more than they should or do not die when they should. Neoplasms may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer).
In 2020 under the same heading, we learn that 5 males and 6 females died on influenza totaling 11 and the total of all types of pneumonia is 102.
Our new novel COVID-19 disease is 27 deaths in males and 39 deaths in females which totals 66.
I wrote the department to ask when the information off of the death certificates would be put into the system for 2021. This is the reply: "I spoke with our Research and Stats officer, and essentially we are behind in coding the death information that is sent to Stats Canada. We have competing priorities, specifically implementing a new vital event registry, which has prevented us from focusing on our core responsibilities. In time, we will be able to get up to date with coding and sending death information off to Stats Can and the data will be more accurate.

Data on the number of hospital beds available by hospital for 2019, 2020, 2021. If there is a change throughout the year (increase or decrease) please note that as well.
NOTES: We learn perspective and context from this FOIPOP. When one of the premiers, Dr. Strang or the media would state that there are 20 or 200 in hospital with COVID, it is good to know that our "Total Hospital Inpatient Bed and Bassinet counts by Zone and Site" to put that number in perspective.
In 2019 the total capacity is 3,379 with 3,210 staffed and 3,118 in operation.
In 2020 the total capacity is 3,411 with 3,198 staffed and 3,103 in operation.
In 2021 there is a total capacity of 3,449 and 3,239 staffed and 3,144 in operation.
So based on this government information there are more staffed than in operation each year.
Let's do some basic math. Let's say that 66 people were hospitalized with "COVID in 2021. That sounds scary. But when we know according to FOIPOP NSHA 2022-005 that between 146 and 164 people were not admitted because of COVID but for other reasons and tested positive, and we know that there are 3,144 staffed beds in Nova Scotia and only 66 were "for COVID" (which now we know may have been for OTHER REASONS)...we learn that 66 out of 3,144 staffed beds...that's 2%.
Did anyone tell you this? Nope.

Data, reports, records and breakdown on number of Incidental Hospitalizations Re COVID. By month since January 1, 2020: data on people who have been included in NS daily count of people in hospital and ICU with COVID-19 but were not hospitalized due to the virus or for the virus. Numbers for those who have gone to the hospital for something else and tested positive for COVID upon arrival or while in hospital but are not suffering from it (asymptomatic). Up to December 31, 2021
NOTES: Up to December 31, 2021 (two years) there were between 146 and 164 number of patients (the NSHA does this >5 crap which makes it difficult to determine the actual number) who tested positive for COVID-19 on or prior to admission to hospital for other ailments or illnesses. All of these would have been announced as COVID hospitalizations in the news, by the premier or Dr. Robert Strang. By not providing this context, once again I feel that they were misleading the public in my opinion.People were not so sick from COVID that they had to be hospitalized...but tested positive and may have been asymptomatic and not sick at all from COVID.

Any and all records, proof, documents, reports, evidence that a Symptomatic positive COVID-19 case is contagious and spread to others in Nova Scotia.
NOTES:
Re: Access Denied – OUR FILE# NSHA-2022-007 THEY STATE: "There is ample public knowledge available showing that someone who is symptomatic and tests positive for COVID-19 can spread the disease. This evidence comes from both scientific studies and from people discussing their personal experiences with COVID-19.
I replied:
Christine Massey has a website - a worldwide collection of FOI responses from 141 institutions (41 of them Canadian) showing that "the virus" was never isolated/purified, and thus "it" has never been characterized, sequenced, or studied with controlled experiments. And thus the alleged RNA strand of 30,000 base pairs with a spiky protein shell that spreads "covid" via natural modes of exposure has never been shown to exist. The FOIs are here: https://www.fluoridefreepeel.ca/fois-reveal-that-health-science-institutions-around-the-world-have-no-record-of-sars-cov-2-isolation-purification/
You can find 2 previous versions of declaration/affidavit here, along with compilation pdfs of the FOI responses grouped by country:
https://tinyurl.com/IsolationFOIsThus, the question of proof of COVID spreading to others is a legitimate question. What proof does the NSHA or the DHW have that this spreads?
Also, there is the Germ THEORY verus the TERRAIN THEORY. Both came out at about the same time. Both are THEORIES!!! J Dr. Sam Bailey talks about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFS57OJ9VyM if you are interested.
I personally believe the terrain theory...that we don’t catch this so called virus that has never been isolated. It is basically a healing reaction in our own body from too many toxins in our air, water, food, environment...and when we are old or very unwell with several comorbidities, the body has a difficult time getting rid of the mucus and we die. In my opinion people who die in long term care at the same time are going through such a crisis at the same time. That it is not spread from room to room. Thus, I was asking what they really died from as per the Northwood Presser Note FOIPOP because it is stated that they were at the end of life and were instructed to mark them down as COVID. I am very surprised that there is no FOIPOP response to that one.
The PRC technology (it is not a test) is being run at too high re Cycle Thresholds and will pick up anything – and is useless – doesn’t show that you are contagious as per the words of the inventor. Thus in this case it creates false positives. In the USA they no longer use the test. It stopped December 31, 2021. In my opinion they are all false positives. It is not to be used to diagnose disease. The inventor Kary Mullis, spoke out against Fauci about this and was found dead in 2019.So even though I sensed that the NSHA found the question bazaar...I was interested in the response! What proof or record is there that it is being transmitted from one person to another? I don’t think they could make it spread from one person to another. When families get sick in the same household, they are usually eating the same stuff, get run down etc. It was interesting – I worked in a Youth Health Centre in a high school and all the sick children were sent to my room. I never got sick. My hubby gets sick – I never get sick.
When I look at who died of this...they were very sick – most at the end of life. Yes – there are lots of cases – but I don’t believe the test – and if I did, there is over a 99% recovery in Nova Scotia based on the figures that I have. I know that your position is to only facilitate the process of doing FOIPOPs...but just wanted to clarify the reasoning behind the question.
Kind regards,
Shelly

I would like totals at the bottom for each hospital for COVID hospitalizations and ICU hospitalizations. If possible I would like to have a breakdown of those who went into hospital/ICU during this time due to COVID only/specifically and their vaccine status, and those who went into hospital for other reasons but tested positive for COVID prior to entry or after going into hospital for this time period and their vaccine status.
