I had a great and simultaneously depressing discussion with a terrific friend, colleague and health leader about how the destruction of US health leadership means Canada, UK and Australia are going to be the world leaders on vaccine policy now. Great challenge, great opportunity 🇨🇦🇬🇧🇦🇺

Counting how many disabled friends we have lost from community over the last few pandemic years - from my circles, it’s dozens. It feels like an apocalypse. A shadow disaster that nobody sees any more.

1. Masks are tools used to mitigate the risk of infection by airborne pathogens, including, of course, SARS-CoV-2. The politicisation and the consequent symbolisation of masking has, overall, reduced their use. This is true whether you are anti or pro masking.

Abc top stories today r NOT abt the positive aspects of Labor’s Medicare pledge. No..the abc focuses on Dutton matching the pledge - & Labor’s pledge being “neutralised” by Dutton. FFS 🤦‍♀️ The questions the abc should be asking r why Dutton would never hve instigated this pledge in the first place

We must move away from any reliance on Musk’s Starlink immediately. Not to be putting plans in place to do this is negligent, harmful to all Australians & is the opposite of keeping us safe #auspol

If you missed them when they became bestsellers, now is the time to read them. They will help prepare you for what is ahead. (I expect no royalties from any sales, so I am simply recommending the books on the basis of their content; I do not care if you borrow them, get them used, whatever).

Noticing Americans are using the term ‘to boomerang back’. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Ok weird term but typical of Americans to over explain. Just like ‘horse back riding’, etc we are in no doubt. However I don’t mind the term ‘We’ll boomerang’ meaning we’ll go and meet back here.
