Society is ALREADY apathetic toward disabled & immunocompromised lives Mask mandates lifted in 2022 Immunocompromised people disappear Mask ban proposals in 2024 More immunocompromised people disappear Society becomes even MORE apathetic & further dehumanizes us because they don’t see us 🧵 1/2

This is also false. Mask wearing was not mandated for years.

Pollution levels in Ottawa are very high from wildfire smoke. The particulate matter (PM)2.5 levels surpassed 140 ug/m^3 Thursday evening and are still above 130 on my VisiblAir Model X outdoor sensor ( visiblair.com ). 🧵1/ #iaq #wildfire #smoke #airquality

The weirdest thing about the school-reopening discourse is how no one wants to specify when, precisely, schools should have reopened. This article treats it as a scandal that schools were still closed in September 2020 but we were heading into a bigger wave than March!

"Canada Proud" is not a 'grassroots' movement. It was founded by CONServative activist Jeff Ballingall. It tries to present itself as a grassroots movement, but it's closely linked to right-wing political operatives and has been involved in disseminating misleading information. #divisivepolitics

Doug Ford is a fascist, just like Trump. An authoritarian. Anti-demcracy. Corrupt. And we gave him carte blanche

Doug Ford interfering with the right to protest again...

Bonnie Critchley, a retired 22-year Canadian Armed Forces veteran and long-time resident of Battle River–Crowfoot, has announced her intention to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming by-election.

Microvascular obstruction is known to be a #LongCovid feature. Now a potential mechanism found for the obstruction induced by death of endothelial cells->sticky red blood cells.

Politics: #COVID is over, the pandemic is over, go live and celebrate! Science: Calm down, there is much more that COVID can do to the body.... Scientists: This is bad, I think we can use COVID-19 as a prototypical disease model for ischaemia injury. 🙄🙄

As you may be aware, northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba are being evacuated because of wild fires. Latest is La Ronge. My rez, Beardy’s & Okemasis, under its RezCross has spots available. A Cree welcoming. If you care, or know folks seeking a place, do share! Our information…

I can't emphasize this enough: Elon Musk is a symptom of the alienation that comes with sufficient accumulated wealth. His entire narrative is tailored to people used to engaging with high-level abstractions, free from any real-world evidence. None of it survives momentary contact with a shop floor.

This kind of clear, direct explanation of what’s happening is basic journalism and yet it’s surprising to hear it stated so forthrightly in this mealy-mouthed era.

PM Carney has set a new tone—and a new focus. Even Premier ⁦Ford called it the best meeting in a decade. Slogans won’t protect our economy. Collaboration and hard work will. #cdnpoli

When we hear about healthcare costs, some of us remember when scientists warned everyone the oncoming tsunami of Long Covid was going to be unfathomable. This is what they meant.
