Mrs,

I am writing to you as president of Campagne Québec-Vie, a non-profit association whose objective is to make our contribution so that Quebec can once again become a Christian society that defends faith, family and life, conception to natural death [1] .

I learned from an article in the newspaper La Presse that the Minister of Health, Christian Dubé, had given you the mandate "to examine the performance of the health network, in particular care for the elderly, during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic ”and that this study would be similar to a commission of inquiry, minus the punitive powers [2] .

Your mandate as defined by Mr. Dubé suggests that the deaths this spring are all caused by the coronavirus, and that your job will only consist of identifying the deficiencies in the health network that would explain why our seniors and other people. vulnerable have not been sufficiently protected from a deadly virus. However, we believe that this hypothesis of a particularly deadly virus which we would not have sufficiently protected is neither the only one, nor even the most probable . We are therefore writing to encourage you to consider, in your report, other hypotheses that would better reflect the increase in “all-cause” deaths observed in Quebec this spring [3] .

In our opinion, the vulnerable people who died in Quebec this spring in higher numbers than normal are not only, or even for the most part, dead from a virus with a case fatality rate approaching that of a strong seasonal flu  [4 ] ; the majority of them died for other reasons [5] , including:

1. gross negligence, caused among other things by a glaring shortage of manpower in long-term care facilities, itself prompted in large part by a media fear campaign that caused panic among the employees of these centers  [6] ;
2. a stressful situation caused by isolation and other health measures, weakening the immune system of already very fragile people, and making them more likely to succumb to relatively mild illnesses in normal times  [7] ;
3. a policy of "triage" of the elderly, denying them access to hospital services that were usually granted to them during a pandemic period  [8] ;
4. contamination of establishments for the elderly by sick elderly people who were evacuated from hospitals (to "free" 7000 beds, including those of 1400 patients who are still sick), in anticipation of a "wave" of more "priority" patients who never came [9] ;
5. a suspension of several surgical and other interventions, always in order to "free" beds to deal with the crisis, a downtime in care which could indirectly cause several deaths this spring [10] ;
6. the establishment of euthanasia-sounding protocols [11] ;

Commissioner, you will have to submit a report on the management of the crisis by the end of summer 2021. We believe that the credibility of your report could only be strengthened if you do not stick to it. not the assumption implicitly imposed by government authorities, according to which the emergency measures put in place this spring, including confinement, have "saved lives". We sincerely hope that your report takes into account the hypothesis supported above, more plausible in our opinion, and which consists in arguing that health measures, far from having protected the population, in fact contributed to the massacre. , by stressing our seniors, which caused a drop in their immune system, by exposing them to patients expelled from hospitals and stuffed with nosocomial viral loads,

Commissioner, you have immense work and responsibility before you. We wish you all the courage and strength necessary to bring it to fruition. It goes without saying that in addition to offering you our logistical support in your efforts, we are committed to praying for you and your team, hoping that your work bears fruit, not only for the good of the health system in Quebec, but for that justice be done to the elderly and vulnerable, whose death this spring was, in many cases, perfectly preventable.

Please accept, Commissioner, my best regards.

Georges Buscemi, President of the
Québec-Vie Campaign

[3] According to data from the Institut de la statistique du Québec (see at https://www.stat.gouv.qc.ca/ statistics / population-demography / deaths-mortality / number-weekly-deaths.html, consulted on November 18, 2020), there was indeed an excess mortality in spring 2020 in Quebec. Indeed, from year to year we observe a seasonal cycle of death rates, the rate increasing in winter (with the season of influenza and other respiratory diseases) and decreasing in summer. In Quebec, approximately 1,300 people die per week (186 per day). In 2020, this fluctuating and seasonal mortality rate was radically altered upwards during the month of April, the month which coincides with the covid 19 crisis in the province. It is therefore tempting to conclude that these deaths were caused by the coronavirus. However, in our opinion, this is a wrong conclusion, as we will explain.

[4] The death rate from seasonal influenza is estimated to be 1 in 1,000 people affected (see: Fauci, Lane and Redfield [2020], online at:   https://www.nejm.org/ doi / full / 10.1056 / NEJMe2002387 , accessed November 18, 2020) while the median death rate from covid 19 is between 2 and 3 in a thousand, according to Ionnaidis, John PA (2020), online at: https://www.who.int/ bulletin / online_first / BLT.20.265892.pdf ; accessed November 18, 2020.

[5] There is good reason to believe that the official figure of 6,710 deaths "due" to covid 19 as of November 18, 2020 is significantly inflated. For more information on this "statistical inflation" read the comments of Dr Sucharit Bhakdi, Dr Horacia Arruda, etc., cited in the following article, from the section called "Statistical inflation of deaths due to covid? ": Https://www.cqv.qc.ca/ libre_opinion_sur_la_pandemie _2020 # inflation , accessed November 18, 2020.

[6] Among several examples, note the situation at the Herron and Sainte-Dorothée residences, as described by this article in the Journal de Montréal  : https://www.journaldemontreal.com / 2020/09/23 / les-problemes-de -personnel-ont-engendre-lhecatombe , consulted on November 18, 2020. Another example, from the documentary "Mourir dans angle blind" produced by Radio-Canada, which described the situation in the Herron residence as follows: "31 deaths, but, above all, residents found bathing in their excrement, without care, dehydrated and hungry, for lack of personnel. (This quote ends at 9:42 a.m. in the documentary found at: https://www.youtube.com / watch?

[9] The Minister of Health Danielle McCann announced at the start of the crisis the "release" of 7,000 beds, including 1,400 patients sent to CHSLDs and other establishments, at the same time exposing thousands of people vulnerable to contagious, nosocomial and other. See “Die in the Blind Spot ” at 1:49 am: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?

[11] Several Western jurisdictions, in Canada, Sweden or France, have established protocols in long-term care establishments during a pandemic, which in reality consist of disguised forms of euthanasia. See the following articles for the Canada https://www.cqv.qc.ca/ mort_de_faim_et_de_soif_ a_cause_des_mesures_anticoronavirus , Sweden: https://www.cqv.qc.ca/ suede_euthanasie_ dans_les_maisons_ pour_ personnes_agees_protocoles_ eugenic and France: https : //www.medias-presse.info/ government-and-coronavirus- openness-to-euthanasia-disguised-by-recommending-uses-letaux- du-rivotril / 119441 / , all consulted on November 18, 2020.

The Digger’s Purpose and Standards

This site does not have a particular political position. We welcome articles from various points of view, and civil debate when differences arise.

Contributions of articles from posters are always welcome. Unless a contribution is really beyond the pale, we do not edit what goes up as topics for discussion. If you would like to contribute an article, let one of the moderators know. Likewise if you would like to become an official contributor so you can put up articles yourself, but for that we need to exchange email addresses and we need a Google email address from you.

Contributions can be anything, including fiction, poems, cartoons, or songs. They can be your own writing or someone else’s writing which has yet to be published.

We understand that tempers flare during heated conversations, and we're willing to overlook the occasional name-calling in that situation, although we do not encourage it.  We also understand that some people enjoy pushing buttons and that cussing them out may be an understandable response, although we do not encourage that either.  What we will not tolerate is a pattern of harassment and/or lies about other posters.
