A Global News Investigation Misses the Mark

COVID-19 Rapid Antigen Testing of Asymptomatic People was a Debacle for the Ages

Conclusions
The rapid antigen tests were reasonably accurate in identifying people that had COVID-19 and differentiating them from people that were at no risk of spreading above-threshold doses of SARS-CoV-2 to others.

Diagnostic tests to be administered by health professionals to sick people should NEVER have been used, let alone self-administered, to screen healthy people.

Companies, including the manufacturers, suppliers, and testing centres made massive profits, and billions of taxpayer dollars were completely wasted by the government on a strategy that had no public health value.

The grand debacle of COVID-19 rapid antigen testing suggests that too many health care practitioners are functioning at a level that makes artificial intelligence-based medicine start to look dangerously appealing. Medical educators need to do a much better job of teaching what constitutes a diseased state and how to properly diagnosis it. If PCR machines are going to be allowed to take over the job of making definitive diagnoses, then many physicians will no longer be needed.

The practitioners that are being driven out of our health care system for boldly speaking scientific truths over the past few years are the ones that we desperately need to retain if we are going to have any chance of maintaining a system that genuinely cares about the promotion of good health.

And for organizations like Global News, you need to figure out how to conduct true investigative journalism, rather than wasting time on largely irrelevant and distractive tangents.

​TO: The Right Honourable Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canada
FROM: Jennifer Elizabeth Telfer
​I. The Banker in the PMO
​You have famously stated on camera, "I'm a banker, not a career politician." That much is evident. Your leadership has treated Canada not as a sovereign nation of citizens, but as a balance sheet to be "optimized" for global investors. You are a technician for a vision that seeks to dismantle national independence in favor of the "variable geometry" of global power you promoted at Davos 2026.
​II. The Death of the Trades & The "Build Canada" Scam
​As someone who has worked in the trades for over 15 years, I see the "holes" in your Build Communities Strong Fund. You talk about "supercharging" homebuilding, but your policies are crushing the people who actually do the work:
​The Productivity Trap: You demand 500,000 homes a year while your "hidden" fuel taxes and inflation make it impossible for ...

Someone finally put the truth in print in a Red Deer obituary. She was 71.
" Six years ago. Val’s health began to be compromised. She battled every day to reverse the vaccine injury after long battle in excruciating pain."
