“Kids keep getting sicker as evidence for COVID immune damage builds” www.thegauntlet.news/p/kids-keep-...

Roses are red Violets are blue

Millions of women and children will die as a result of Trump blowing up USAID. "Studies show this funding has helped save the lives of nearly three million children under age five and at least one million women of reproductive age in recent decades" www.scientificamerican.com/article/usai...

Canadian COVID Forecast: Mar 15-28, 2025 SEVERE: ON VERY HIGH: CAN, QC HIGH: AB, BC, MB, NB, NL, North, NS, PEI, SK MODERATE: none About 1 in 142 people in Canada are CURRENTLY infected.

Oh, Mr. @deadder.bsky.social, in today’s @theglobeandmail.com. 🤭🤭🤭

I wish public health would actively promote vaccination in the context of Long Covid. (But that would require public health to mention that Long Covid is an ongoing problem.) "Number of COVID-19 vaccinations was associated with better outcomes across all measures."

It is increasingly getting difficult for the average person to discern good information from bad. When we focus more on Dr Henry’s tone vs accuracy, we are doing public health a disservice. The sheer volume of bad information coming from Dr Henry, a senior public health leader, is unacceptable.

Measles vaccine is arguably the second most effective medical intervention ever (after smallpox vaccine). It is cost-saving. It is incredibly safe. Measles has a case fatality of 1/1000 and can cause brain damage. Don't take health advice from someone who looks like he's made of fruit leather.

This new work from @blakemurdoch.bsky.social is spot on. Denial of airborne transmission was the great crime (yes, crime) of the pandemic. It changed, and broke, everything healthydebate.ca/2025/03/topi...

Hi, I have an important article out tomorrow, please stay tuned. Just getting my profile going on blue sky. Can you help amplify? @mark-ungrin.bsky.social @amandalhu.bsky.social @realnosferatu.bsky.social @dfisman.bsky.social @davidjoffe64.bsky.social @jvipondmd.bsky.social @barryhunt008.bsky.social

As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices. We will continue to reinforce our Canadian-first policies.

If you're Canadian and looking to replace the role of Amazon, WalMart and other US corporations in your life, might I suggest: *Home Hardware *Canadian Tire *London Drugs *Giant Tiger *Memory Express Any other suggestions?

My friends and I are discussing this fantastic idea. What skills would we contribute to a Canadian Civil Defence Force? As homeschool moms, we might just be able to run the whole thing. 🤣🤣🤣

My advice to Canadians. Bunker down, prepare for hardship. Ignore Trump's words and threats. Ignore US and foreign propaganda and disinformation spread by Trump and other far right agents including domestic. Vote against RW populist parties. Support leaders who fight for us. Stay united and firm. 🇨🇦

Boycott USA. That includes all of you outside of Canada too. We need to unite against the threat of the rogue state.

Half of Covid-19 patients emitted infectious virus in respiratory particles smaller than 5 microns (>30 min to settle out). Culturability of aerosols was associated with lower neutralizing antibody titers, so immune response matters for transmission potential. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“I was terrified for her,” said her husband, Dr. Adam Shehata, a family physician.. “The area she was in was essentially a row of hospital gurneys separated only by curtains with sick patients on either side of her. Her risk of infection was so high and there was nothing I could do to protect her.”

Blatant extortion. And Ontario needs to rip up the Starlink deal immediately. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

The Nazi salute should’ve been reason enough, but now the US is going to cut Ukraine’s access to Starlink if it won’t hand over critical minerals. What happens when the US wants northern Ontario’s resources? If Doug Ford really wants to “Protect Ontario,” he needs to #CancelStarlink now. #OnPoli

The best way to fight for our country against MAGA threats is to not vote for Canadian MAGA supporters.

I spent weeks looking at the transmission dynamics of H5N1 in California and came to exactly the same conclusion, namely that the scale of transmission could only be fully explained if long-range airborne transmission was a factor. www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

The @ETFOeducators Building Better Schools continues to omit an important pillar of success: indoor environmental quality. Poor #ventilation with CO₂ above 1500 ppm has the cognitive impact of skipping breakfast and affects the entire classroom.

Covid vaccine boosters are highly cost effective or cost saving, and undervalued because many models ignore reduced transmission (indirect effects) New work with some excellent colleagues www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

What would happen if Ontarians, en masse, reached out to the candidates in their riding to ask those with the lowest chances of beating the conservatives to bow out and put their support behind whomever has best chance?

I think this interview gives a great sense of the book, but also a great sense of who I am too. I hope you enjoy it! You can sign up to my newsletter at the bottom of the linked page. Shares and likes are so appreciated. kristie-de-garis.ghost.io/interview-ab... #Writing #Scotland #Books #Author

Congrats, President Trump. 82% of Canadians now agree we should raise the price of US gasoline the next time you screw with us. 🇨🇦

It’s back on! Regardless of tariffs being paused, Ontario should NOT be partnered with Elon’s Starlink! Contact info for Ford: Phone 416-325-1941 TTY/Teletypewriter: (for the Deaf and hard of hearing) 1-800-387-5559 [email protected] globalnews.ca/news/1099566...

Be careful out there folks! Ontario COVID forecast Feb 1 - 14: 1 in 36 people currently infected.

1 in every 36 people in Ontario is currently infected with COVID-19.
