I just received updated info about Nuvaxovid pharmacy ordering in Ontario from Sanofi so I have redone part of this thread and made a document available to download/print (thanks @penelopejmorrow.bsky.social for the idea).

For Halloween, my friend is going as what, until today, was considered the scariest thing in Alberta: a bike lane Me: hold my beer *plans 32-unit eightplex costume*

And ensure you are familiar with any potential major conflicts of interest!

A reminder to reporters: be thoughtful about the voices you trust, and the conflicts of interest they hold. You can't rely on the judgment or motives of someone who participated in a very big mistake that killed a lot of people to tell you how bad the consequences are later. Journalism 101. 🤨

This picture will always be iconic. RIP Margaret Hamilton who wrote the software that successfully guided NASA’s Apollo missions through the moon.

It's 2026 and doctors are recommending handwashing as a way to prevent inhaling airborne viruses.

BC researchers released an analysis in the Canadian Medical Association Journal today: Multiple studies back permanent standard time over permanent DST, warning DST could harm health, economic productivity & students’ well-being 🔗 www.cmaj.ca/content/198/... cheknews.ca/clocks-stay-...

Clocks stay in daylight saving, but analysis backs permanent standard time

Researchers from British Columbia have released an analysis warning of the potential risks to health, the economy and students' well-being with the darker mornings on the way.

The good doctor would approve of this bench in this place with this sentiment.

me, an immigrant, watching people who said immigrants are corrupting america engage in actual corrupt behavior

Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn't leave a paper trail.

It's hard to believe politicians are earnest about fixing healthcare when they keep adding to the pile of chronic morbidity: burning fossil fuels, worsening air pollution, fueling wildfires, letting airborne infections spread in healthcare & schools...

Listened to Dr Crystal Gail Fraser speak about her new book last night. Intended to be a guide to answer all the questions about Treaty you might have. And be accessible and not academic in presentation. Lots of story-telling from her nation included. Highly recommended!

The 3x speed “call 211” blurb about gambling problems after minutes upon minutes of gambling problem enabling feels like a tissue in front of a firehose.

Dear journalists, If you're looking to interview a doctor on Covid in 2026, a good probing question is whether they wear a respirator mask in their practice. If not, maybe time to source a new expert

Just got served 2 full minutes of Alberta gambling app ads on a podcast for 3 different offerings of: - online casino apps - sports betting - other online gambling games If gambling were my vice, I’d be so cooked.

Amanda Hu@amandalhu.bsky.social · 6d ago

Just reflecting on the reality that the most consistent and invasive messaging Albertans are getting from our provincial government is about separating from Canada and joining gambling apps.

Meanwhile, confirming that we are now well into the Finding Out portion of the COVID era...

Nearly at the point where public health traditionally starts to realize they may need to take an outbreak seriously (that's where it threatens to escape from Africa and kill people who have influence over public health budgets). Still assuming it's not airborne - without proof. 🙄

Conor Browne@brownecfm.bsky.social · 3d ago

This is obviously a worrying development, especially considering the fact that air travel was involved. I am considerably more concerned by the ongoing outbreak of Ebola in this region than I am by current events in Russia. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Oh, sweet jeebuz, CLEAN THE AIR already. 🤬 It's not rocket science. Ventilation (even open windows). Air filtration at building scale (e.g., higher MERV in HVAC), room scale (portable air cleaners), and even personal scale (masks). Maybe also stop withholding pediatric virus testing 🤬

It really irritated me!!!!

How can you tell if the certification label is legit? I find it hard to believe the claim when the stuff is so cheap.

I'm not surprised at what you discovered. I buy all sort of things from Dollarama but never, ever, would I buy anything vaguely electrical. You just got to know there is a risk that it could be dodgy.

Berenson is very useful as a reverse fortune teller. I can predict the future knowing he is wrong about everything always.

He still hasn't deleted this:

Just a girl and her* airplane 🥰 * actually it is emphatically the Canadian Aviation Museum’s airplane but they do let me fly it a lot

Will heartily endorse this post as a former forensic engineer. Online shopping especially shipping direct from overseas is frequently not certified for use in Canada. That may sound like useless red tape, but it’s core safety matters that are engaged.

Jenn Dowling-Medley@aliasjdm.bsky.social · 5d ago

goes for Canadians too (though we have CSA in addition to some other standards) don't buy your Li ion battery off of Amazon or Alibaba

the issue with retailers like Alibaba and Amazon is that they have a tendency to ship counterfeit products and sometimes misrepresent products (e.g. show certifications which do not appear on product you get). A lot of the time this is a more trivial issue but not for electronics or medical things.

So...turns out they were Russian biolabs... 🤔 Yet again demonstrating that when #Russia accuses #Ukraine of something, you can be confident the Russians are guilty of it.

Mark Ungrin@mark-ungrin.bsky.social · 6d ago

Public health and infection control have just spent most of a decade demonstrating their complete incompetence dealing with aerosol (airborne) transmission of disease. Given a new opportunity to grab for power, they are not going to suddenly end the turf wars and disinformation now.
