You mean Thisguy
He's a strong proponent of government censorship who sought to restrict the flow of information so that people would be unable to do their own research.
This is the man who wanted to prevent the government from releasing mortality statistics to the general populace.
You're not only promoting a member of the establishment, but one who wanted to prevent people from speaking out.

You may or may not be aware of this, but those numbers aren't just professionals, they include people such as janitorial staff and care assistants. Literally anybody in the industry.
That they may not have been able to get vaxxed under the government scheme due to their immigration status (We had an amnesty because this was getting pretty bad), and in many cases, that they were being sent significant quantities of doom porn from their home countries about conspiracies to use vaccines to sterilize Muslim women.
Can I cite myself for the above, minus vampires and werewolves, which I'm not a believer in?

It would be very telling to see the real number of Big Pharma CEOs, researchers and scientists who developed this, that actually took the vaccine.
We saw Biden getting a shot, but what was it ? Would they risk the Presidents life on an experimental vaccine just to get the public to go along ? Or was it just saline ?

More than 170 Comparative Studies and Articles on Mask Ineffectiveness and Harms.
I'd wager that you've not actually read any of them.
For example, the very first report on that page contains the following text
A systematic review of observational studies reported that mask use reduced risk for SARS, Middle East respiratory syndrome, and COVID-19 by 66% overall,
Face mask use could result in a large reduction in risk of infection (n=2647; aOR 0·15, 95% CI 0·07 to 0·34, RD -14·3%, -15·9 to -10·7; low certainty), with stronger associations with N95 or similar respirators compared with disposable surgical masks or similar (eg, reusable 12-16-layer cotton masks; pinteraction=0·090; posterior probability >95%, low certainty)
Funding: World Health Organization.
The review identified no eligible studies on the use of cloth masks in community settings.
N95 respirators should not be used in a community setting, given the absence of demonstrated benefit, the possible harm with improper use (that is, the requirement for fit testing)
Unlike N95 respirators, surgical masks and cloth masks do not require special fitting, making their use more practical if individual fitting is infeasible. Persons should seek guidance from the local community and statewide public health guidelines for mask use in light of the absence of evidence in the community setting to reduce the risk for transmission of SARS-CoV-2 infection
The WHO notes potential risks associated with mask use, including self-contamination (via improper handling of masks), breathing difficulties, and a false sense of security
Given the limited direct evidence, our practice points are based on indirect evidence from studies of SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, influenza or influenza-like infections, and other respiratory infections.
Low-certainty evidence showed that mask use and consistent mask use may reduce
4862 completed the study. Infection with SARS-CoV-2 occurred in 42 participants recommended masks (1.8%) and 53 control participants (2.1%).
Although the difference observed was not statistically significant
We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic
“Evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza…none of the household studies reported a significant reduction in secondary laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the face mask group
“The available clinical evidence of facemask efficacy is of low quality and the best available clinical evidence has mostly failed to show efficacy, with fourteen of sixteen identified randomized controlled trials comparing face masks to no mask controls failing to find statistically significant benefit in the intent-to-treat populations.
“In a Bangladesh study, surgical masks reduced symptomatic COVID infections by between 0 and 22 percent, while the efficacy of cloth masks led to somewhere between an 11 percent increase to a 21 percent decrease. Hence, based on these randomized studies, adult masks appear to have either no or limited efficacy.”
though we support mask wearing by the general public, we continue to conclude that cloth masks and face coverings are likely to have limited impact on lowering COVID-19 transmission

Thousands upon thousands of Doctors and Health Care Professionals have lost their right to practice medicine for opposing the Covid vaccines here in Canada.
So, I guess some of them, in order to keep their careers and not take the vaccine, have been using fake vaxports.
I don't blame them actually. That's what happens when the government acts like a Dictatorship.
What followed was a journey down a rabbithole of anti-Covid-19-vaccine rhetoric, conspiracy theories and one claim that the pandemic was a “planned exercise in population control." It concluded with an argument from defence lawyer, Swinwood, that Canada’s COVID-19 restrictions are akin to Nazi Germany regulations.
But these views from licensed medical professionals — seemingly at odds with the science that an education in medicine preaches — are not confined to this one virtual court hearing in Ontario. A small but vocal minority of doctors across Canada is attempting to sway public opinion to oppose COVID-19 vaccines.
Many are being investigated or have had their medical licences suspended. Many have not.

Hearings like the above are/were a routine occurrence.
"at odds with the science that an education in medicine preaches" 👈 this sounds religious, not scientific. LMAO.
