public 4 Public Health 🇨🇦🇪🇺 - with 🇺🇦🇬🇱

While this is a parody it is right on! Definitely true for our Canadian society and likely true in other countries! This model of delivery needs to die! I am tired of the gatekeepers making decisions that affect one’s care or quality of care. (I can give you examples.) 1/ youtu.be/w3U25wNyVRw

“Our data emphasize the need for monitoring children exposed in utero to SARS-CoV-2 for evidence of deficiencies in the central nervous system,” Song says.

The first personalized mRNA cancer vaccine has now succeeded in a phase 3 clinical trial, reducing the risk of melanoma returning by 42% compared with standard immunotherapy alone. www.sciencealert.com/world-first-...

Thank you Toronto for making a sensible choice, unlike BC!

I was chatting with my elderly neighbor recently (in his 70s) I asked if he got his Covid and flu boosters for this year He replied that he is taking a break because of all the negative things he is hearing about vaccines This is exactly how disinformation works

Racism is one hell of drug! In AB terms - the referendum proved that!

In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Hey Alberta: is this incompetence or a full on intentional lie? 9003 Acute Care Spaces is NOWHERE near a record number for our prov In the late 1980s we had 17,790 acute care spaces in hospitals (~12,000 acute care beds, +LTC beds) 1988: 7.4 beds/1000 2026: 1.5 beds/1000 1/2

Orbán down ✅ Vučić down ✅ Bolsonaro down ✅ Netanyahu next Then Republicans in the U.S. midterms

Smith confirmed she will continue to use taxpayer dollars to appeal the shutdown of the original separatist question... But regardless of the outcome, she won't ask another separation question. She wants the ruling to ensure First Nations don't have to be consulted. #abpoli

Oh I remember that day!

Women in Canada spend 24% more of their lives in poor health compared to men. In a joint op-ed, CMA President Dr. Bolu Ogunyemi and fellow medical leaders call for a national framework to close gaps in research, improve access to care and advance women’s health. Read more👇

BC nobly sacrifices good governance to teach one man about hubris

We all know this is grossly underreported; and it is negligent! We would not do this with Ebola! Or AIDS! Or any other class 3/4 virus! To me it shows how far the misinformation attachs have taken hold. (yes, attach, by foreign agents who were relentless of pushing stupities about the 🦠)!

Our open letter to UK infection control leads went today. Patients can be asked to remove their FFP2 or FFP3 mask, or swap it for a surgical one, while staff can now choose a respirator if treating a patient with respiratory symptoms. clinicallyvulnerable.org/letters/right-to-mask #RightToMask

Not unexpected - but shocked that it has actually happened! Honestly …. come on BC what are you thinking! A concervative government? Have you all in BC not been paying attention! Conservatives are not builders they are a sell out type of political party!

Oh BC what have you done!

Mélanie Joly: "Forced divestiture is definitely on the table and we already know that there are some potential buyers that are interested in buying the Canadian assets of Stelco."

Mark Carney on what Elon Musk's throttling of Starlink means for Canada: "We do not want to be caught in a situation where we are reliant on one provider that puts Canadians at risk or compromises our sovereignty, our ability to express our values and live our values."

Science YouTuber Dianna Cowern (Physics Girl) had over 2 million subscribers when she developed Long COVID after falling ill on her honeymoon in 2022. Brain fog, headaches and other symptoms turned her life upside down. Despite some improvement, she functions at just 30–40% of her previous capacity.

Science remains amazing, and vaccines particularly so. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Canada: More than 300,000 British Columbians live with Long COVID. One patient has 13 diagnoses, including ME/CFS, POTS and fibromyalgia. From Nov. 1, virtual group appointments at a clinic serving over 8,500 patients will be capped at 30 participants, down from no limit.

Most of us carry dormant viruses from past infections, usually harmless. But extreme stress or a weakened immune system can reactivate them. Scientists studying astronauts' immune systems are exploring what might wake these viruses up and how this could be linked to Long COVID. Podcast: 14 minutes

NHS doctor: “There’s COVID and flu armageddon in our hospital right now... It’s everywhere. To the point where they’re definitely not swabbing on purpose cause they don’t want to know... They’re like, we don’t even want to know if you have COVID or flu because it just makes things complicated”

👏👏

You can find me wearing a 😷 in my 🚘 when I am by myself! For me it started in 2020 when I was stopped in a 🚧 zone by a👷‍♂️who wanted to communicate to me, insisted for me to pull down the window, stuck his 👦🏻 inside just to tell me “keep on this lane!”. Yes reasons wary! People’s behaviour is mine!

@timothysnyder.bsky.social says he doesn't believe there's an option to preserve the status quo in the November 3rd midterm election.

UK: "Government failures allowed COVID to 'spread like wildfire' in care homes, inquiry says" "The COVID pandemic "totally disrupted" the lives of people in care homes and had a "devastating impact" - there were more than 43,000 deaths involving COVID in care homes between March 2020 and July 2022"

Yup!

It is very devastating!

A study modelling COVID-19 spread in indoor gyms found: • 18.4% hourly infection risk if 1 in 30 users is infected • 70.1% of spread via airborne particles • 3.4× higher risk with a gym partner • 1.9× higher risk at peak hours These are modelled estimates, not observed infection rates.

Great!

Twas the night before the referendum and all through Alberta, the creatures were stirring and all like for the love of sweet whiskey fuck muffins, don’t make this worse than it already is, okay?

What a bloody moronic headline from FOX news.

The Canadian flag will fly at half-mast on federal buildings across Canada. All Canadians stand with the service members at CFB Wainwright, their families, and their community.

How I feel too!
