As someone who is very familiar with both the US and Canadian systems, I can confirm that PHAC is a great source of info, especially regarding guidance and easy to access facts. It doesn’t replace American data lost at CDC in the great purge but it does provide reliable health & medical information.

Vaccines work and do not cause autism. I will die on this hill. These two boys had been exposed to the same smallpox source. The boy without a rash had been vaccinated, the one covered in rash hadn't been vaccinated. A global vaccination campaign led to eradication of smallpox globally by 1980.

I spoke to @mscribe.bsky.social @theguardian.com about the H5N1 case in BC. More and more human cases are occurring, along with mutations that indicate further human adaptation. We need to treat these cases like a warning, because that is what they are. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...
