I am not a medically trained person, have little scientific knowledge but am a pactitioner of logical thinking, so when I was working on my computer with the CBC on as background noise and I heard about this report being published I watched and listened and was so appalled at what I heard I went looking for the report and here is what I think about most of it.

The evolution of SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in Canada: a time-series study, 2020–2023

Interpretation

During the prevaccine and vaccine roll-out intervals, relatively few people in Canada had evidence of humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-2 from an earlier infection.(How can you possibly know this?  Did you test for it and how, or are you guessing? Or are you simply making excuses for not knowing an unknowable, though SRS-Cov has been around for centuries previously known as colds and the flu?) This changed rapidly during the Omicron era; by September 2022, most of the population had detectable antibodies from infection. The rise in infection-induced humoral immunity occurred rapidly across all geographical regions and age groups in Canada. This rapid rise in seropositivity owing to infection occurred despite the roll-out of vaccines in 2021, which led to high rates of vaccine-induced antibodies (how could a gene therapy induce antibodies against a flu virus?) detected across the country,⁷ protecting most people in Canada from severe illness and death (from what exactly?).⁷ However, this high vaccine coverage did not prevent the unprecedented transmission and epidemic growth of the Omicron variant in late 2021 and early 2022.^8,9 Given the immune evasion and high transmissibility of the Omicron variant,¹⁰ most people in Canada now have infection-acquired immunity and vaccine-induced immunity, ushering in an era of hybrid immunity.     It is amazing to me that medical “experts” still believe this unscientific  propaganda nonsense about gene therapy being a vaccination against a virus.  

The rapid rise in infection seen in many countries with high vaccine coverage is explainable, in part, by the limited effectiveness of the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 strain–based vaccines in preventing infection with the Omicron variant.¹⁶ This immune evasion, combined with the high transmissibility of the Omicron variant, allowed the epidemic to spread rapidly.  (Bullshit, it was just a slightly different version of the flu and the mRNA jabs were not ever vaccinations.  How can the CMAJ still expect us to believe that? Plus the damage done by the inducement of spike proteins in the jabbed helped to make them susceptible to this flu variant).

Although the Omicron wave caused similar increases in infection-induced humoral immunity in multiple countries, the implications for population immunity may vary, owing to differences in the sequence and timing of vaccination and infection in each jurisdiction. In Canada, before the Omicron era, most people had been vaccinated, but not infected. During the Omicron wave, most of the population were then infected, likely producing hybrid immunity that potentially could protect against infection for months.^17,18 before the Omicron era, most people had been vaccinated, (How could a non vaccination aid with immunity  in any way?  Also strange that after such a high jabbed rate Omicron took off like a normal flu.)

However, antibody levels also differ within Canada across geographical regions and age groups, likely a result of factors that we did not measure (e.g., occupation, booster vaccination status, comorbid conditions). Periodic serosurveillance in the general population in Canada, as well as vulnerable populations, will be important to track waning of serological markers.  (Why did you not measure those things?  Did you not want to know the answer?)

We believe that the lessons learned from our results include a need for Canada to approach pandemic-related problems in a multidisciplinary manner, aligning expertise in public health and pandemic responses with input from the broader scientific community. Although there is a need in a pandemic to rapidly develop vaccines that target a pathogen broadly, control spread and mitigate impacts, it is difficult to fully control pathogens that mutate rapidly through vaccination alone (although vaccination markedly decreased the severity of illness from those infected with SARS-CoV-2)(Prove it). (The concept that gene altering therapy should receive immediate approval from a body (Health Canada) subject to orders from their investors (big pharma) rather than the people of Canada is non only faulty and dangerous but also very unscientific) Measurement and analysis of antibodies to vaccination and infection provide crucial information for clinicians and policy-makers, particularly when rapid emergence of mutations drastically changes interpretation of other sources of surveillance data, such as confirmed infections, hospital admissions and deaths. Although currently challenging to conduct at scale, assays that can give a broader overall picture of immunity, such as measures of cell-mediated immunity and neutralizing antibodies, could further extend our ability to monitor and understand the effects of vaccination and infection.

(I cannot understand why a supposedly august medical body remains fixated on the idea that a gene therapy constitutes a vaccination.  I know you have altered the definition of vaccination to include gene therapy but that is semantics designed to protect yourselves from ridicule. “Multidisciplinary” means more than just the propaganda dogma which we were subjected to during this particular time, and instead of sidelining any scientific proposals or treatments from the “broader scientific community” not conforming to that propaganda they should at least have been taken under advisement.)

Many of the challenges encountered in this study were a result of the lack of coordinated, ongoing serosurveillance capacity in Canada. We were able to bring together many estimates of seroprevalence to describe broad trajectories of population seroprevalence. However, routine serosurveillance — ideally with individual-level linkage to other data, such as testing and vaccination — would allow for a deeper understanding of the causal relationships between the timing and nature of immune system challenges and antibody levels in the population

(Good grief! The annual flus and colds have been around forever and you are still no closer to real-time vaccination than were the ancient Greeks and Romans.  They had a better idea of how to deal with a cold than the modern drug pushers – let it run its course.)

Conclusion

Most people in Canada were infected with SARS-CoV-2 for the first time during the Omicron era, after previously being vaccinated. The highest rates of seropositivity from infection were seen in younger age groups and provinces in Western Canada. As a result, many people in Canada have hybrid immunity against SARS-CoV-2, but variations by age and geography and the potential for waning antibody levels suggest that public health policy and clinical decisions will need to be tailored to local patterns of population immunity.   (An accurate summation of a false hypothesis)

Conclusion

Canada’s record thus far in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic compares favourably to most comparator nations for broad health outcomes, although adverse economic and social impacts are also apparent .(Really? These were all political instigations with absolutely no medical science on view, in fact real medical science was ignored and discarded as unscientific hysterics. Useless and unnecessary shut downs, masking, church and school closures and segregation were in direct contrast to corporate shopping centers and big box stores operations)  As the country continues through subsequent phases of the pandemic, careful collection and analysis of data are necessary, while acknowledging the limits of available indicators and comparisons. Leaders should share new findings with the public transparently and swiftly, and make strategic adjustments to reinforce measures that appear to be successful and to modify others as appropriate. 

As a final insult to our intelligence, you suggest that leaders break eons of practice and share things with us?  All we got from this so called pandemic was lectures and lies from Justin Trudeau, Teresa Tam, and here in BC Bonnie Henry which were totally political and un scientific. You must all live in gilded cages somewhere out in the ether

Who paid for this propaganda, I would really like to know
