Warnock: If I'm honest, there are days when I have to ask people of my faith tradition as a Christian, are we reading the same book?  The book I know says I was hungry and you fed me. I was sick, I was in prison and you visited me, I was a stranger and you welcomed me….

🇨🇦 Hey Canada: wouldn't it be cool if we could celebrate Canada Day by not burning Canada down? Just an idea. Seems like maybe this would be a good year for moderation. And skipping the fireworks. And the drunken camping bonfires on crown land.

I wonder what evidence RFKJ has seen to "prove" that raw milk is safe?

Definitely time for "Hey, Hey, RFK: How many kids did you kill today?" Except of course he doesn't interact with poor and vulnerable folks who will be most affected by his many bad decisions.

The first meeting of RFKJr’s handpicked ACIP sounds a complete shambles. With personal grudges, notable omissions on known conflicts of interest stated, data mis/dis-information about side effects, no votes completed. The only clear action ….

Hello #medsky I hope this resource compiling 90+ studies on COVID-19's impacts is helpful to you all www.panaccindex.info/p/what-covid...

As far as I can tell, there are about 30% of people in this country whose primary goal in life is to avoid all knowledge and form no opinions on anything whatsoever.

RFK Jr seems intent on making public health a distant memory He’s restricting access to the COVID vaccine, stoking distrust in all vaccines and has fired the ACIP panel The good news? We can show up & save each other Wear a well fitted respirator. Refuse to accept repeat infections as inevitable.

In India some schools are advising children to isolate who are taking exams, because of the new #COVID strain. Seems very sensible advice given the less than mild long term risks and disruption to children’s exams. health.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/policy/...

Any journalists know if #VanceBoelter took the anti malarial mefloquine/Larium in his recent trip to Africa? Please share this widely because I think it’s important for someone to look into this.

🇨🇦Am I a horrible person because I’m glad he left early, even if it was for awful reasons?

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

This is currently my child's favourite YouTube. Says a lot about the state of the world. Also, I think I might be Elmo. www.youtube.com/shorts/aOaIz...

Here are my unsophisticated ideas to "fix" #healthcare: 1. Make it smaller. Less air to clean and fewer indoor spaces to decontaminate. 2. Make it remote/virtual/accessible where possible. 3. MAKE UNIVERSAL MASKING MANDATORY FOR EVERYONE. The end.

Moment to celebrate amidst the madness: My kid stumbled across a Sesame Street YouTube where Rosita wants to see a rainbow, so Gordon makes one for her using science. My kid was ENTHRALLED. #SesameStreet #science for the win!!!!!!!!!!!

WTG Glendale! More cities in California should follow their example! For reference, Glendale is about 10 miles from Downtown L.A.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Maybe California should become Canada's 11th province. Like, on an emergency basis or something. We get tariff-free food, and they get a bit of relief from martial law. Or something. I don't even know anymore.

I just read a bunch of US history about the Berkley protests in the 60's. I don't think I'm ever going to sleep again.

Long covid is now the most common chronic health problem in children, even surpassing asthma.

So.. is it NB 1.8.1 or XFG that "poisoned" these players this year? 🤔 Mystery... #Covid www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

That’s the hardest thing to accept about a lot of truama to be fair. You always want to learn and grow but it’s important not forget that some things in this world are bad and absolutely should not be made good. Greif being one unprovoked violence another. Take the time in your day to see humanity

🇨🇦We still have a couple of weeks... Please, pretty please, can we un-invite you-know-who 🍊 to the G7? You know... those meetings about how those 7 countries can COOPERATE economically. Do we really have to let the economic saboteur come?
