I have heard a true friend is one who is willing to help you get to the airport. And I have heard a true friend is one who is willing to help you move to a new home. But I would say a true friend is one who is willing to help you avoid catching Covid.

I am not a world class vaccinologist or a leading scientist by any measure. But if my voice has any weight, let me say vociferously that pregnant women should get vaccinated against COVID. The data are pretty clear on this, IMHO.

Moments after MPP Mamakwa was removed from the legislature: Reporter: "Can you explain just what precisely the Premier said that you're saying is untruthful?" Sol: "That he respects and honours the duty to consult. That's not the truth. The way [Bill 5] is written up speaks the opposite."

A former “friend” told me he cared for me & wanted me to have everything I needed… but that it was time I realize I’m a net negative in society. He referenced my “free surgeries”, countless ER trips & how the system was artificially extending my life. 🧵

If you don’t have time to read the article “What to know about the new Covid-19 variant NB.1.8.1” please, allow me to summarize its contents: what you need to know about the new variant is that the pandemic never ended and you do not want to catch (or spread) this variant.

By now you have heard that the pandemic is over, indeed, by now everyone has heard that the pandemic is over, and yet the new variant is a reminder that even though everyone has heard that the pandemic is over, the virus isn’t listening.

“Are you ever going to stop masking?” People ask this with disdain, as though they can’t comprehend how someone could still be masking in 2025 I like not being sick. If I had known how effective N95s were, I would have worn them before! As long as society stays in denial, masking is necessary

It's never too late to mask up with a respirator either. Your health is far more important than social pressure, especially as repeated COVID infections come with more health complications. If you can't afford them, check to see if a mask bloc is near you: maskbloc.org
