One thing we can know for certain is that the govt will withhold any information on "Covid deaths" that does not promote their "get the shot - or else..." narrative. What's being withheld says a lot.
If there truly was a public health emergency, then there would be a lot more hospitalizations and deaths.

Please provide accurate data on Aug 13, 2021 at 2:37 pm
The above article is questionable. Fact is, there has NOT been 8 deaths from covid, they died while testing positive following an unreliable PCR test, notorious for churning out false positives. And most of them had pre-existing conditions, where old & frail, etc. Health officials should be telling us, but failed to do so, the age, pre-existing conditions, cause of death, and covid vax status.
Why aren't reporters investigating this. Providing relevant and accurate data is crucial for transparency and instilling public trust. No wonder so many folks will not take an experimental covid injection for a disease with 99.8% recovery rate, when health officials and the media fail to provide relevant facts.

Well at least they are being transparent, here they openly admit she is acting. Heaps of acting being witnessed in this looooong two weeks.
So much acting in fact by state actors, the Juno’s should be absolutely littered with medicrats and other political blowholes picking up their awards...a swag bag stuffed with Liberal gifts and appointments.
Open your eyes folks, you will see so much acting in the weeks coming till September 20th. Pallets full of cash for the media, the cultural elites tossed around like sandbags.
We are NPCs in this well rehearsed script, we are not supposed to use our input, not allowed to dissent...the ministry of obedience will not tolerate it.
Well....”acting” as if the office, is bipartisan and detached.
The flat earth crews have more validity to their claim then this office could ever muster... Juno’s or not.

Why were they tested? Are they showing symptoms? What are their ages? What test was used? What was the cycle count? Were they vaxed ? (nope, the article would have emphasized this if it was the case). If the same person gets tested twice does that count as two cases? Let's get some statistics reported here. Let's get monthly deaths in Yukon for the last two years so we can see the death rate spike during peak vax times. We need more info.

"A total of eight people have died from COVID-19 since November 2020."
That statement is false. The only thing that can be said definitively is that eight people died with a positive PCR test.
