Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "It's easy to be negative about everything when you've never fixed anything...Negative slogans aren't solutions...Division isn't strength. Negativity won't win a trade war...Negativity won't bring down the price of groceries."

ā€œEvery COVID infection a person gets increases their risk of developing long-term health issues.ā€ "There is no such thing as a COVID infection without consequence," says long COVID researcher, David Putrino, from Mount Sinai in New York. #LongCovid cbc.ca/radio/quirks/b…

Best piece I’ve read on Covid’s impact on the brain: ā€œScientists have found that those who have had Covid are more likely to have elevated levels in their blood of the same proteins that are prevalent in people with Alzheimer’s disease.ā€ #LongCovid

Trump’s CDC is cancelling $11 billion in COVID funding allocated to health depts & nonprofits, claiming grants are no longer necessary as the pandemic is over. This is wrong. COVID is a continuing threat & millions have Long COVID. We still need to do more to mitigate its harms.

Today, CSIS confirmed India interfered with Poilievre's leadership race. Ā  But Poilievre refuses to get his security clearance, so CSIS cant share detailed intel with him. Ā  Poilievre refuses to protect the integrity of his own party & refuses to protect our democracy.Ā  Ā  1/2

All anti-mask laws—even those with so called ā€œmedical exceptionsā€ā€”stigmatize mask-wearing. Fewer people wearing masks increases the spread of infectious diseases. No matter how lawmakers try to spin it, any law that criminalizes wearing a mask endangers public health. Period.

The same people insisting that everything PP says is true, don’t want journalists checking if it’s true. Can’t say I’m surprised. #cdnpoli pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelled-…

Antivaxxers own this. Infectious disease minimizers own this. Public health officials and media who keep promoting "immunity debt" own this. ottawacitizen.com/news/ontario-m…

Why is there not now a HEPA air purifier by every hospital bed in high income countries? We don't need an RCT to make this decision. And for those who say "COVID is over", well: a) It isn't and b) This applies to basically all other viral and many bacterial illnesses It is no

Hands up if you know that: Covid is spread by aerosols. Hepa filters and masks and ventilation reduce aerosols. Covid infections increase the risk of long term ill health.

I got nasty backlash from Conservatives for writing a year ago about Poilievre and his potential use of the notwithstanding clause. Going to put this right back up here today: thestar.com/politics/pierr… #cdnpoli

Carney will feel he did well at the debate if he communicates well and articulates his vision for a better Canada. Poilievre will he did well at the debate if he can score a "gotcha" and burn Carney. Think about what that means and think about what you want for Canada.

A new study shows that air cleaners can reduce up to 98,1 % of viral load in the air of a #COVID patient's room with confirmed positive airborne viral RNA. Rooms with HEPA ventilation had zero virus detected. šŸ‘ #CleantheAir in hospitals and schools!šŸ‘ sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Scary new Covid study.šŸ‘‡šŸ½ Not overly optimistic, but I remain hopeful we can have a rational conversation about the risks of ignoring a virus that so impacts even Olympic athletes. Both why we shouldn’t just ignore such a virus… AND, why that doesn’t have to mean ā€œlock downs.ā€

I don’t think people ā€˜get it’ when it comes to asymptomatic transmission. We’ve known since early 2020 that people without symptoms—either because they haven’t developed them yet or never will—can still spread disease. But health systems around the world keep making the same

Don't assume that since govts are doing nothing to contain the spread of Covid, that means it can't be harmful. Governments are famously slow to act on proven harms – e.g. smoking, asbestos. Studies showed organ damage from covid in 2020, pre-vaccines. They're not protecting you

Why is the press so stupid? They are getting Long COVID because they are being infected again and again with COVID. Do you understand now? newsweek.com/why-are-so-man…
