@Protect_BC We got invitation for covid vax, but I am out of the loop. Are there any good ones anymore?

When it comes to COVID, there is no public health in BC. vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/06/14/bc-…

Even if only motivated by economic reasons, governments should fund clean air in all schools. The way this works where I live is that schools and daycares in affluent areas get air cleaners (usually donated by wealthy parents), while those in poorer areas do not.

Please join me in thanking @DrAmirKhanGP for using his platform to raising awareness that Covid is airborne and that ventilation is of utmost importance to reduce the spread. We need a LOT more of this though as Public Health has failed miserably in this regard…

It’s really really bad when infectious disease paediatricians spread misinformation. It’s particularly harmful because it’s travelling on an “a priori trust” adjuvant. People trust MDs, so MDs’-spread misinfo is more efficient than trolls’ one Misinfo dissected & fact checked 👇

I think this one deserves a thread of its own Deaths from disease in school-aged (5-17) children continued a relentless pandemic rise in 2023 In 2023 more than six thousand children died of disease in the United States This is 32% higher than before the pandemic

Can someone provide any good reason, any at all, why hospital CEOs need to make multi-million dollar annual salaries? Eugenics pays quite well, apparently. These people make me wish hell was real. #hospitals #greed #capitalism #healthcare #COVID

@ClareCraigPath @NinjaBex @jennyeverest1 @erbrooker What about flu? RSV? wildfire smoke? pollution? mold? Would you drink unpurified water?

@NinjaBex @jennyeverest1 @erbrooker How so? It matches perfectly preomicron with the proportion who developed antibodies (indicating exposure was inevitable). It is foolish to rely on PCR testing results when testing was set up such that a single aerosol could contaminate a sample and result in a positive.

Why did we never worry about the air in children's classrooms before? Because they have amazing immune systems. If your child is susceptible to a particular variant, they are going to end up being exposed at some point during the wave.

@ClareCraigPath @PeteUK7 @jennyeverest1 @erbrooker Because te become infected, you need a minimum dose. That dose can vary from individual to individual, but finally it is dose dependent. Also once infected, the course and outcome of the disease are dose dependent. Ventilating, air cleaning, facemasks are lowering the dose.

@ClareCraigPath @PeteUK7 @jennyeverest1 @erbrooker Maybe because we basically elimated one variety of influenza with masking. Also greatly reduced other flu.

@PeteUK7 @jennyeverest1 @erbrooker Why do you think it would prevent disease? I don't think it would on the basis of all that I do know: ~10% were susceptible to each variant based on secondary attack rates. ~10% acquired antibodies in each wave despite every intervention. Ergo exposure was inevitable.

People who wear masks aren't weak. It takes steel to go against the flow of a whole society.

@phyllispurdy7 @CHEK_News Lock him up. 10 years minimum. What, are they waiting for him to kill someone? He has seriously injured others already wtaf.😡 He clearly has ZERO respect for the law or the safety of others.

@CHEK_News made possible by letting him keep his license???

@phyllispurdy7 @CHEK_News READ. He was driving while PROHIBITED.

"And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder that roared out a warning. I heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world. I heard ten-thousand whispering and nobody listening..." -- Bob Dylan

@kadamssl Bonnie Henry says kids don't bring the .vid home. They are not significant vectors of disease. Magical! I don't think DBH has kids.....

And what happens when kids bring COVID home from school? Without continuous tracking and intense mitigation, everyone in the house goes down with them.

If you're encountering a covid variant that will evade your immunity, the basic equation is this: The more covid-infected-air that you inhale, the harder your body will have to work to defeat it. So do everything you can to reduce the length of time you're inhaling that infected air for, and reduce the quantity of infected air. Use: Quality masks Short meetings and smaller groups Ventilation HEPA filters Isolation Testing Meet outdoors Seriously, do everything you reasonably can to avoid catching it, and do everything you can to avoid giving it to anyone you love. #CovidIsntOver

I keep reading this and wondering: 1) what does the WHO know that precipitated this advice for hospitals? 2) what does @IPACCanada think they know that allows them to override the WHO advice? source: …epartmentofcommunications.cmail20.com/t/d-e-vkkjyud-…

@ChrisTheGist @CHEK_News I hope that's not true.

@CHEK_News I'm assuming from the light sentence that he is indigenous?

The man responsible for the vicious stabbing of two seniors in their Nanaimo home in 2021 has been sentenced to five and a half years behind bars. cheknews.ca/man-sentenced-…

@CHEK_News Wtaf. And in 10 years this violent criminal will be allowed to buy and possess weapons again. 😡

@Syls____ @CHEK_News Two, one for each senior.
