@mbrochh @StephenKing Well as a writer, he probably knows what a metaphor is.

@Goodintheweeds @KatePri14608408 Haha yep, most gonorrhea in the throat comes from some variety of oral sex.

@TwigGlobe @KatePri14608408 Honestly, we used to think kissing wouldn't spread it because the bacteria didn't infect the throat. Turns out, it's because nobody bothered to look for it there. The bacteria hasn't changed much in that regard, we just learned more about it.

@KatePri14608408 Under certain circumstances it may be, but I'd imagine this is more of an attempt to allow for 'face saving' in relationships.

@moss_sphagnum @KatePri14608408 You're not wrong, but the effect is generally fairly small. Not something to rely on. But we are hard at work making a specific gonorrhea vaccine!

@truthshamesthe6 @KatePri14608408 Nope, not droplet. And the bacteria is pretty wussy, doesn't do well on surfaces. It's pretty much only spread by exchanging bodily fluids, but it can infect genitals, anus, throat, even the eyes.

@KatePri14608408 Better hope pubs & restaurants are cleaning glasses & utensils properly and those spitting in your hamburgers don't have the gonorrhea Is this potential 'droplet spread' too? Fun times

@PDXFato @Eric42533771 @congress_dan @Victorshi2020 Definitely, we can agree on that.

@DaveAScientist @Eric42533771 @congress_dan @Victorshi2020 Can we at least agree they were not so obvious back then, and most of all there was much less identity politics.

Oh wow. NPR just announced that it will stop using Twitter & doesn’t mince words about the platform, saying, “We are not putting our journalism on platforms that have demonstrated an interest in undermining our credibility.” This is how you stand up to Elon Musk.

@PDXFato @Eric42533771 @congress_dan @Victorshi2020 Ha! You're delirious man. Just because you trusted the media before that point, doesn't mean they were totally trustworthy. Using media to lie to the public for profit or power is a trick thousands of years old.

@Eric42533771 @DaveAScientist @congress_dan @Victorshi2020 The change started about 2009, I wonder what coincided with that....

@roma_minerva @StephenKing To be honest, I don't think Steven fucking King needs advice on how to be creative.

@StephenKing Whenever I happen to meet you casually on Twitter I see you in a bad mood. Is this really his character or is it coincidence? You should be calm, creativity works better with peace. Namaste 🙏🏻

@welchkristina @adiosmuchachos4 @MoriartyLab How many of those hundreds of myocarditis cases were fatal? It's typically extremely low. So no, myocarditis is not behind this rise in excess deaths. Which fatal SAEs are you concerned about?

@adiosmuchachos4 @MoriartyLab That's simply not true. In Ontario Canada, there are hundreds of myocarditis cases in a population of 15 mill. And that's only one of the many SAEs. 60 in 160 mill? Not true.

My colleagues, the emperor has no clothes. Nearly 30% excess mortality in Canada's fastest reporting provinces as of Dec 31/22 Dec 25/22: Germany 47%, France 31%, UK 25% It almost doesn't matter anymore what you think is the cause...please speak, please act.

@PDXFato @congress_dan @Victorshi2020 So he provided quite a few examples of NPR not towing the gov't line, with the Iraq War being a fairly recent one. And you don't even argue his examples are wrong. You just don't care that they're right. You Fox zealots really don't care about what's true do you?

@congress_dan @Victorshi2020 Yea, back then everyone did proper objective news....today not so much.

@jesse123857 @RachelLeroux @CityNewsTO And where do you think the black market gets those guns from? Thin air? No bud, from legal gun owners. Gun restrictions greatly reduce the availability of guns on the black market. It's why the price for an illegal gun is so much higher in Canada. Basic economics.

Just after 8:30 a.m. Sunday a man armed with a weapon approached someone at a gas station in the area of Steeles Avenue West and Mississauga Road. A bystander saw what was going on and intervened, subduing the suspect until police arrived. toronto.citynews.ca/2023/04/09/att…

@PsychoticMime @CANADAquakes ... did you expect that this was trying to predict earthquakes? Because that's not really possible. What do you mean by reliable?

@FoxMania21 @georganneb @althiaraj @CBC @CPC_HQ Lol don't think there's any value in ideas about the media from a guy named Fox mania. Thanks for your meandering hyperbole though.

@DaveAScientist @georganneb @althiaraj @CBC @CPC_HQ Reporting? Really? More like down playing and damage control what is called treason by any intelligent person. But in Canada the punishment for treason is rewards of corrupted plunder$$$.

This attack of CBC journalists is unacceptable. It will likely create a chill in newsrooms across the country, no doubt what the Conservative leader wants. I worked at CBC early in my career and CBC president doesn't tell CBC journalists what to cover or how to cover it.

@KimJablonski1 @bpappin @_cackleberry @ABC I never understood you folks. Of course the COVID shots are vaccines. They prime the immune system to combat a disease. And yes, they were all tested to determine if they prevented COVID. They were also found to reduce severe disease and hospitalization.

@bpappin @_cackleberry @ABC You're correct. Measles vaccine has been tested and found to be effective in prevention. The covid shot is not a vaccine. Pharmaceutical representatives admit it was never tested to determine if it would prevent covid but it is still pushed.

The measles outbreak in central Ohio that left 85 children infected has officially been declared over, Columbus Public Health announced. Of the 85 children infected, 80 were unvaccinated. trib.al/SNq7OVZ

@JonHeron5 @georganneb @althiaraj @CBC @CPC_HQ They dug up the WE charity scandal. And broke the issues with the previous GG.

@DaveAScientist @georganneb @althiaraj @CBC @CPC_HQ Citation?

@carol_nasvytis @georganneb @althiaraj @CBC @CPC_HQ Yeah I've consistently found CBC to be pretty balanced, with solid sources.

@DaveAScientist @georganneb @althiaraj @CBC @CPC_HQ You can tell they never actually watch it. Even watching P&P last night - I couldn’t help but notice that they don’t pull any punches when it comes to critiquing the PM.

@georganneb @althiaraj @CBC @CPC_HQ A bunch of left wing activists eh? Did you forget that half of Trudeau's scandals were broken by CBC journalists? Seems like left wing activists wouldn't do that. Seems like you're just parroting someone who doesn't like their secrets being uncovered.

@althiaraj Gee, Althia, I'm pretty sure the @CBC sued the @CPC_HQ ... They are hardly journalists. They are a bunch of left wing activists. Don't defend them, you just make yourself look ridiculous.

@Observ0123 @zchagla @BogochIsaac Lol get your bitchute bullshit outta here

@zchagla @BogochIsaac bitchute.com/video/k3ZhltrK…

COVID in Ontario: Proportion of XBB.1.5 cases up. Wastewater down.

@herringschmaltz @BogochIsaac Yup, though not easily. It usually takes multiple infections over many years. And even then, I don't think it's particularly solid immunity. A vaccine could really help crush the disease, though it would take a while.

Holy shit. We are living in an era of malaria vaccines: "vaccine efficacy against multiple episodes of malaria was 78%, and 2285 cases of malaria were averted per 1000 child-years at risk among vaccinated children in the second year of follow-up." 🙂 bit.ly/3AFSRNm

@RyanBageOwO @Molandrox @Sundayze_ @WackSauze @johngreen @elonmusk I'm pretty sure the sarcasm flew right over their head. Don't know why, you weren't being overly coy or anything.

@Molandrox @Sundayze_ @WackSauze @johngreen @elonmusk OK I have got to know if you are being serious or I'm being so outclassed in sarcasm that I should just disappear

Hi, @elonmusk. Is there a way that I/you can unverify my account so that I can change my name? I am accustomed to changing my name seasonally and I find this business of being forced to be merely John Green 100% of the time a little stifling.
