We saw it coming. But it's still insane.

Family doctors are now a condo amenity. The CDC gave its outbreak data to ฮกะฐlะฐntั–r. A "harmless" virus might be behind MS, lupus, and long COVID. This weekโ€™s newsletter is... something. ๐Ÿ‘‡ canadahealthwatch.ca/newsletter/2...

Please help us pressure them to help ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ #canadasky โ€œGlobal Affairs Canada said in an earlier statement to CBC News that โ€œCanadians who choose to travel to the region do so at their own risk," it said Thursday.โ€ @freedomflotilla.bsky.social @lphr-lawyers.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/world/g...

This is a win for science-based policy in Canada. ICYMI, @mark-ungrin.bsky.social wrote the definitive op-ed on what's happening here and why. Worth the time: canadahealthwatch.ca/2025/04/18/t...

This is a good one to re-up with today's news on Dr. Tam. Any word yet on who will replace her?

Regime > administration One legitimizes. The other points to an unprecedented centralization of power and fundamental changes in US governance. "Administration" signals continuity with U.S. democratic norms. "Regime" signals a departure from them. One is objectively more accurate.

Trump NIH director Bhattacharya took to Twitter to spin the Bethesda Declaration. We're here to point out his confusion and contradictions. ๐Ÿซก First, it is laughable for him to say he's removing ideology. Trump has inserted a rightwing ideology, stripping Harvard of science for ideological reasons.

Canada is turning away hundreds of U.S. asylum seekers fleeing the threat of 'deportation.' Nearly 500 people were denied entry at the Canadian border in April alone. ijb.utoronto.ca/news/u-s-cra...

The question isn't whether Ontario can eliminate hospital parking fees (it absolutely, unequivocally can), just whether itโ€™s willing to.

"The public should understand that Trump wants to kill U.S. science. And is succeeding."

This is really bad.

The thing I really want people to understand is that this doesn't stop at the U.S. border. ๐Ÿ“Ž www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t... We're watching the public emergence of a global surveillance dragnet. And if you have a data fingerprint, you're in it. (See follow-up skeet)

With MAGA calling the shots, it's going to become difficult to access vaccines.. unless it's their vaccine. Senior U.S. figures are invested in reviving old vaccine-tech, abandoned decades ago because it was giving too many kids febrile seizures. canadahealthwatch.ca/newsletter/2...

โ€œ3 of the studyโ€™s authors write that almost 6 million US children could be affected by long COVID, which is greater than number of kids with asthmaโ€ 6 million chronically ill kids How many will be gaslit?

Some researchers say the protesters might actually have a point โ€” in part.

Measles is set to become endemic in Canada by the end of the year per Canadaโ€™s chief public health officer. Yet all weโ€™re seeing are these little scattered โ€œoutbreaksโ€ in most provinces and across the U.S. No epidemic here, no siree Bob. How alarmist of you.
