Here's my video from the African warehouse with millions of doses of medicine -- gathering dust and approaching expiration because Trump/Musk/Rubio dismantled USAID. Infuriating. nytimes.com/video/opinion/…

Were Alberta being bombed by a foreign country & this many people, mostly kids & babies, were injured, we would take action. Too many have been duped by foreign lies aimed at spreading fear & distrust of vaccines, science & evidence-based medicine. It's injuring many, too many.

So far, once again, we need to put "in mice" at the end of the headline but if works out it will take a huge step out of the CAR T cell process by teaching part of our natural immune system,T cells, to find & weed out diseased cells without having to remove T cells to teach them.

Would you be willing to ditch all your testing and meds for Type 1 Diabetes if it meant taking anti-rejection pills for life? Also could cut your chances of blindenss, amputation, heart disease & other consequences of T1D. That's the hope this paper suggests.

Is this the same provincial ruling party that stopped the vital, and only, bus service for those living in small, rural or remote communities? How much did a trip on STC cost? Cancelled by those for whom the cost of travel is irrelevant and who live close to commercial airports

You can look up how to pronounce it or just call it Musqueamview. Cities change street names for many reasons. This time, the reason is justice for the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm | Musqueam Indian Band people who've always lived here. globalnews.ca/news/11252350/…

HPV can cause cancer. For men, it can mean needing part of your penis amputated to save your life. It can cause cervical, anal, throat cancers. Or You can be sure to get the vaccine* that totally prevents it * best given before becoming sexually active

Have you heard that Canadians pay way higher taxes than Americans? Not true. We do pay 33% tax but it's on all the annual income that's over a quarter of a million. In Canada, that's 1% of our population.

Heat is a stealthy killer. As a child, I played in a car in the hot Calgary summer sun with the windows up while my parent went to a meeting. I just got sleepy. Parent was quite distressed. I recovered. Please, check on the vulnerable, if you have aircon, have them over.

61 years ago today, the Klan murdered three civil rights workers in Mississippi. One of them was a childhood friend. I'd like to share what he meant to me.

Looking forward to celebrating Uncle Brian's 90th tomorrow. It will be out on the deck of a lovely seaside hotel in Vancouver. Wonderful to have something to celebrate and to be able to do it safely.

A change has started. Of note: in colder climates, where citrus doesn't grow, some use preserved, pickled high Vitamin C cabbage - eg kimchi, sauerkraut. Others use rose hips, black currants, saskatoon berries & other foodstuffs that do grow in colder climates.

This is huge. So, Health Canada and PHAC what are you going to do with these recommendations? David Eby what will you change in govt and in healthcare. New study results from UK: HEPA filters in every classroom & gym cuts infections by 10%. 1 TOC/day costs ≈ a HEPA filter (lasts a year)
