No, JilliBee, it's NOT because of unvaccinated illegal immigrants. It's because of unvaccinated good old Americans.

Get ready AB businesses…Govt’s plan is to have you paying for employees HC benefits… That’s going to cut into your bottom line and profits immensely… I thought the UCP were pro business?

Welcome to Day 2 of RFK Jr. testifying on Capitol Hill. Yesterday, RFK -- who has spent decades spreading disinformation about vaccine safety -- testified to Congress that measles outbreaks aren't his fault and said he's "never been anti-vaccine." Really. huffpost.com/entry/rfk-meas…

Trevor Moore is such a good player, Imagine the Leafs just kept the right guys, like Kadri, Hyman, Moore, Marchment, etc? Maybe, just maybe - if that wizard in PIT didn’t trade them all/let them walk - the legacy of this era could’ve been different.

For my new book @MITPress “Texas Fever Frontiers: How Deadly Epidemics Shaped the Lone Star State & America’s Destiny,” I’m doing a deep dive into our extraordinary history, from Paleo-Indians, to Cabeza de Vaca, Franciscan Missions, Austin Colony, Republic, Confederate secession

HHS leadership has so squandered public trust on vaccine issues that it is impossible to take them at face value that they are censoring this article over a sincere concern about the methodology. We are not that dumb to believe that. washingtonpost.com/health/2026/04…

Hey @JDBunkis and @SportsnetBen don’t forget IKF.

Because of Russian aggression, Ukrainians cannot access basic care which leads chronic diseases to spiral into acute critical illness. Médecins Sans Frontières speaks about about the human toll of this reckless war. @MSF msf.org/when-chronic-i…

Today a Russian paper criticises the authorities over internet restrictions and for poor communication with citizens: “[It] causes the population to feel we are not respected, that strange games are being played with us.” Plus, an interview with Lenin's “spirit.” #ReadingRussia

A fancy and elaborate way of saying that Dubas has kicked the can down the road which IMO he also did to the #Leafs.

RFK Jr. & wellness/fitness/celebrity woowoo are steering a flip-flop in policy on peptides. garyschwitzer.substack.com/p/the-perplexi…

Ukraine’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Andrii Melnyk: No army since World War I has paid such an astronomical death toll for such negligible territorial gains as Russia. According to battlefield assessments, Russia is currently losing on average 254 soldiers for every square kilometer of Ukrainian territory it still manages to occupy. To put this into historical perspective, let me remind that during the Winter War of 1939–1940 — an illegal aggression launched by the Soviet Union against Finland — the cost in human lives per square kilometer was roughly one hundred times lower. This comparison illustrates a fundamental reality of this war: Russia is achieving minimal territorial gains at an extraordinarily high human price. The calculation is very simple: just multiply 6,000 by 254 dead soldiers for each square kilometer. According to this brutal logic of war, in order to seize the whole territory of the Donetsk region by military means, Mr. Putin would have to send at least another one and a half million soldiers to their deaths. This mathematics is truly mind-boggling. In practical terms, this would effectively amount to more than doubling Russia’s current human losses in this war, bringing the total beyond 3 million casualties. Even for Mr. Putin, for whom the value he attaches to the lives of his own citizens appears to be worth less than a penny, such a figure would be catastrophic. That is why the Kremlin turned to the pseudo-negotiation tactics, trying to achieve this goal through diplomatic pressure on Ukraine. But it is not going to work. If one were to apply the current rate of Russian casualties to Mr. Putin’s real objective which is occupying the entire territory of Ukraine, the conclusion becomes almost unimaginable. It would imply that Russia would have to sacrifice over 122 million soldiers to reach this goal. Let me repeat: 122 million Russians would have to die in order to achieve Mr. Putin’s bizarre dream of conquering Ukraine - @MelnykAndrij

We need more doctors to be active on social media where a lot of health misinformation is circulated…Canadian doctors fighting health misinformation: CMA report ctvnews.ca/health/article…

Antivaxxers will say this is impossible because it’s unlikely TODAY given relatively high vaccination rates. The modelling below shows an apocalyptic future after today’s antivaxxers are long gone.

So-called gold standard science is paramount to RFK Jr. But he suppresses findings that clash with his cognitive biases.

Last year NIH cut mRNA vaccine research by $500 million because the HHS Sec does not believe in mRNA vaccines. Now, acting CDC Dir Jay Bhattacharya is blocking publication of a paper that reportedly shows that the COVID vaccine cut emergency department visits and hospitalizations among healthy adults by about half this past winter. If this is true, Congress should remove both RFK Jr and Bhattacharya.
