Hanley has COVID-19

Yukon MP Brendan Hanley tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.

By Whitehorse Star on July 25, 2022

Yukon MP Brendan Hanley tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday.

He woke up with symptoms that day, he said in a statement released late this morning.

“Fortunately, I have received two booster doses of vaccine, and am experiencing mild symptoms,” said Hanley, who was the territory’s chief medical officer of health until the late summer of 2021.

“Following Yukon guidelines, I will self-isolate at home this week and will work remotely. My close contacts have been notified.

“While this means I am unable to attend various announcements and meetings with visiting federal ministers Hussen, Hajdu and Murray this week, I am still very pleased to facilitate their time in our territory.

“Their visits with Yukon organizations, First Nations leaders, and our municipal and territorial governments will continue to advance progress on many of the important issues we face in the North.”

Hanley plans to join in on these meetings virtually when possible.

“My own illness is yet another reminder that COVID-19 is still with us,” he said.

“Vaccination, including booster doses, and following current public health guidelines remain our most important tools in managing our way through this pandemic.

“Take care and stay healthy.”

hello , Hello - Why do liberals wear masks? To keep out thoughts out, hahahaha. Why do they wear condoms? To practice safe six.

All joking aside, it is because without their childcare plan, they can't afford children.

Hello MITCH on Jul 28, 2022 at 4:15 pm

“Catching Covid is not newsworthy, DYING FROM IT IS.”
Dying from something else with Covid is newsworthy too Mitch.

Clean Joke:

Q: What is a Liberal doing when s/he/they holds their hands tightly over their ears?
A: Trying to hold on to a thought.

@ Barbara - While I commend your very good point, he and his peers in government have used continued marketing and mandating of vaccines as a stepping stone to power, ruining countless lives in the process, so if anything, your point rather reinforces what most are saying here. That we are not complying with the continued pressure to take something that doesn't work. We will become worse than what they claim we are, to quote Maya Angelou.

I’m not defending Hanley nor the stupidity of vaccinating so you could fly to Vancouver and hit Winners, but he warned when the vaccines were rolled out they wouldn’t prevent getting or spreading it. Tam said at the outset masks don’t more harm than good. Mainstream media admitted that regardless of the COD, hospitals would be reporting the COD as Covid if a swab yielded a positive, even if the corpse had an axe embedded in his head.
Hydroxychloroquine has been a cheap, safe and effective WHO-endorsed drug for 70 years. Coronavirus is a cold/flu. The CDC recommended pulling the PCR tests last December because they yield false positives. The inventor of the PCR stated it was never intended for use as a Covid test and the doctor who developed MRNA technology denounced its use as a Covid vaccine.
The total number of deaths from all causes in the year prior to the pandemic exceeded the total for the first year of the pandemic sans vaccine. The death rate is up a staggering 40 per cent since the “cure” was rolled out. The vast majority of those filling the hospitals and morgues are the vaccinated. And it has only been approved for children to circumvent the approval process (which never made it past experimental with the FDA.) All these facts were easily verifiable. There was no excuse to be deceived about the intent, safety or efficacy of a global vaccine campaign in the first place. Admit you were duped or you made a health decision based on any number of reasons other than health and stop doubling down. It’s gone from monotonous to aggravating.

Perhaps Hanley is lucky to have caught covid after his fourth shot. If he wasn't sick he may have gone jogging and dropped dead like the Toronto doctor that just died while jogging, or the 3 doctors in Mississauga that just died in a four day period after hospitals mandated the fourth shot.

Still crazy, after all these years… on Jul 26, 2022 at 11:53 pm

In response to Groucho d'North on Jul 26, 2022 at 2:33 pm:

In the Liberal world you are assigned credibility based on your particular intersectionality - Truth is feeling and power is tied to the ideals inherent within an intersectional hierarchy wherein, in a Liberal world, facts are irrelevant, equality is discrimination, and wherein discrimination is the means to the elimination of equality in pursuit of the idylls of equity… A new endless conflict, well… Perhaps not a new endless conflict but perhaps more of a redirection of an old conflict, maybe?

People who vote for this shyt are the dangerous ones. I’m just uncertain as to the direction of this causal relationship between Liberals and pandemonium; Runaway inflation, Spending Madness, Unprecedented Debt/Deficits, Intra/International Conflict, Opioid Crisis, and a Collapse of All Health/Social Services Infrastructure and Services for a few examples?

Do Liberal representatives drive the crazy or do their voters?

Hmmm...quite priceless...Mr. Jabbers is living proof of how useless the jab is for the (living) population with intact immune systems. He becomes the poster boy for politically correct yuck yucks. I used to wonder if he was dumb enough to take it himself but it would appear he did get injected up. He is just not important enough to be warned or spared by the scheming establishment he bows down to. They never gave him saline. I assumed he was more crafty but now I see he is only as smart as he looks.

Is this guy for real?
There are a view options:
1) he is stupid
2) he thinks people are stupid
3) he is a criminal
4) he is black mailed

to 1, that would be interesting how he got into the position as a CMO. Probably nobody else liked the job. He got it on a dime and secure his position. Maybe.... Well at least he is a MP now and can do no more harm, Keep him in Ottawa....

to 2. I have confirmed covid right now. Never had the experimental drug injected and guess what.? Almost no symptoms. (How stupid is it say "but without the vaccine it would be much worse...)

to3, Yes I think he is a criminal. Maybe not intensely but non other less. Because of his mandates, people lost there jobs or where seriously insured by the jabs. Never should be forgotten!

to3, not sure if he is blackmailed but for sure was paid big $ for promoting and forcing this garbage into people thru fear and intimidation.

One last thought: If we ever had a real pandemic would it not make sense to keep and hire all the healthcare workers you can find instead of firing them and have nobody left to run Nursing Stations, Fire Departments and Ambulance?
Hanley and the rest of the Politicians involved - you will never be forgotten ...

"Hanley has coffee with his morning toast" is about as much news as this article.

One thing this article should highlight for people is the ineffectiveness of the almighty vax.....4 shots as I understand for Hanley? Still gets the rona......I don't understand how people staunchly defend the vax when it is obvious and accepted that at best the vax "might" help prevent serious disease and hospitalization.

The passports are a joke at best and a sham at worst. Being required to show a vax passport to fly when clearly the vax does not stop transmission or contraction of the virus....this is very clear at this point....yet here we are showing that we have been duly vaxxed for literally no reason at all as it pertains to boarding a flight.

Why do people that defend the vax not see any of this? You have been lied to over and over and staunchly defend a narrative that has changed so many times it's no hard to keep track.

There still seems to no real conversation surrounding what to do if and when you contract the virus. I could be wrong here but I don't think I am. If you get the common cold there are very clear steps shared but what helpful info is there out there regarding what to do if you get covid. Take some ibuprofen.

Now monkeypox seems to be the new kid on the block. Monkeypox does not seem to have the hysteria inducing effects as the rona and one gets the feeling that the pox has an agenda tied to it but it never really hooked the public attention and the details of the pox are sketchy and seemingly homophobic.

I don't get any of it to be honest. I'm clearly in the high risk group for the rona but have never once felt intimidated by the prospect of perhaps contracting it yet other people are clearly terrified at the prospect.

Go back in the google and look for all the things the vax was supposed to do and then fast forward to the current narrative. They are miles apart. Vaxxers conveniently ignore this reality.

Anyway, enjoy your taxpayer toast Dr. Hanley

The quality, capability, or power to elicit belief.
A capacity for belief.

Is Hanley really thinking we will all forget that, as Yukon’s CMO, he is the one who introduced the covid jab based on the notion that it will prevent infection and provide herd immunity. When that didn’t pan out, Hanley changed this to the notion that the jab will ‘slow the spread’. Now it’s only that it ‘reduces symptoms’. You have to be fully hypnotized by the covidian cult to still believe any of that anymore.

How could anyone with a shred of integrity push for mass injection of an experimental RNA product with an increasing record of severe injuries and deaths.

It’s only a matter of time until the full scope of what’s been done to us comes out.

Contrary to popular belief, I am not as angry as I might seem. I am confounded by the moderation period of posts and as such, sometimes end up posting more than one post because the natural inclination of most Canadians is to assume censorship, which I don't, gratefully, with this publication.

Hanley has Covid. After four shots. Well this is embarrassing. I thought he said these things were effective. Maybe he will have better luck after the fifth shot. Though I doubt it if you go by the studies from around the world with hundreds of thousands of participants.

Remember that time when people who didn't take the shots weren't even allowed in restaurants? Yeah that was weird, and now it turns out that the more shots you have the higher your chances of infection, hospitalization, and death. Strange times. I hope we have all learned a lesson. I am just happy that the times of global health emergencies are over. Could you imagine if they tried to pull this BS again anytime soon? Oh wait.

Going on 3 years no Vax, no COVID. Haven't been in a hospital in 8 years now. Last time I went my work asked me to after an incident. I knew a doctor could not help me. The lady behind the counter reminded me the sticker on my card was 6 years out of date then. In 14 years I've been to the doctor once. He gave me an MRI and said he could not help. I wish I could have my health care taxes back, what a joke. Free health care my A$$.

So what? Everybody’s got Covid these days… But thanks for the pressure, coercion, mandates, lockdowns, supply chain shortages, death cult propagandizing, infringement of my bodily integrity, psychological manipulation, psychological terror, mental health crisis, ethical violations, condemning the elderly to die without compassion, and the circumvention of our rights both individual and collective…

These are just some of the thoughts from the other part of the Collective Mind - And mind your keepers, you should! Can’t say I’ve enjoyed your little social experiment, there are better uses of my time, but wow! Look at all those sheeple running hysterically after the bouncing ball of Liberal Orwellian Freedom:

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

Politicians know that real, “power is in tearing human minds to pieces and putting them together again in new shapes of your own choosing.” This is why there is such a push for equity - The Collective Mind will shift. However, it will be interesting to see the impacts of new seating arrangements at the publishing trough.

The shift in the societal narrative has been rapidly deployed. The “… whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it." The shift to a censorious police state… Uh, well… We’re there.

For Trudeau and his/her/their bench-people, “All beliefs, habits, tastes, emotions, mental attitudes that characterize our time are really designed to sustain the mystique of the Party and prevent the true nature of present-day society from being perceived.”

Orwell’s Paradise…

On Serious note. I never got Covid the 7 times prior to Immunization when I was in direct contact with Positive people. Then got the 2 doses, have had health issues. But everyone in my truck except me had Covid, and I still don’t. So guessing that some people get it and some already have immunity to it.
We shared doobies!!! And Bottle Rye!!
