In my Ontario town the first official COVID-19 death was reported by the The Beacon Herald on April 13: “Giuseppe ‘Joe’ Vaianisi, 86, died at Greenwood Court [Retirement Home] in Stratford Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19 on April 3.”

While Mr. Vaianis may have had COVID-19 (who knows with these tests) it certainly didn’t sound like he died from it: “He just had a fever though, thank God,” his daughter reports. “He didn’t have any of the respiratory stuff and he didn’t seem to suffer. He just kind of got worse and worse, as far as he was asleep the last couple of days really.” 

I know I’m no doctor, but that doesn’t sound like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome to me. It sounds like an 86-year-old man dying peacefully in his sleep.

While the newspaper failed at asking hard questions (investigative reporting) it did honour Mr. Vaianis with a short front-page biography of this Italian immigrant who built many of the homes in our city. He probably wouldn’t have made the front page if it wasn’t for COVID hysteria.

With so many deaths being ascribed to COVID-19 instead of pre-existing diseases, a professor of immunology has jokingly asked: Is COVID the cure for cancer?

If possible, find out the details of “COVID deaths” in your county and ask your local medical officer if they can explain any inconsistencies.
