‘Outdated’ health policies surrounding Covid still pose a danger today, says U of C researcher
University of Calgary professor Mark Ungrin has dedicated years of research highlighting what he believes is of significant concern to all Canadians’ health.

Although it’s rare, viruses can do this, especially EBV. Its effects are similar to congenital chiari malformations. The difference is that covid has infected the masses so more are affected. The long term effects of many viruses have been grossly overlooked.

This photo of Oz, RFK, Makary, Prasad and bhattacharya is dark. The perfect merger of “respectable, evidence-based medicine” with rank equals and grifters, all for political power. Anyone who enabled these men in any way owns this moment too.
It’s really sad that even when you tell people who don’t mask that there’s mountains of evidence proving repeat Covid infections damage your immune & vascular systems and cause brain damage—bc you think they must not know!—they still won’t wear a mask because it gets in the way of their bootlicking.

A reminder that under no circumstances is Dr Henry an acceptable choice for Canada's Chief Medical Officer of Health. One of the few people in the world to have botched two different SARS-CoV outbreaks, the fact that people like her constantly fail upwards is what gives extremists credibility. 🧵:
Mark Ungrin@mark-ungrin.bsky.social · 2y agoAnyone else noticing the surge of desperate efforts to retroactively manufacture ambiguity from those responsible for basic failures throughout the pandemic? It's simple. Aerosol transmission was known to be a major and serous risk since day 1, requiring N95s etc. Dr. Henry failed to convey that.
CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

💯Clean air delivery rate (CADR) is more important than HEPA rating! I have been buying portable air cleaners for the lab and home that are not HEPA-level but offer a high CADR per dollar spent and low noise. Marwa Zaatari's comparison chart from 2021 is a good way to think about this.
Aaron Collins@masknerd.bsky.social · 2y ago[1/2] All that matters is CADR! Ignore things super-hyper-mega HEPA. Often times a filter that only provides 70-80% actually provides more clean air than a filter that is 99.97%(HEPA). I used a 16x20 3M filter taped to a Taotronic AP-003(with no internal HEPA installed) and got a 30% boost in CADR.
The last half of the 1990s was when the false image of ME/CFS as a “yuppie“ disease began to crumble, thanks to good work done by Leonard Jason and others like this west coast group. I had been ill for over 13 years before the CDC finally acknowledged that Black people like me could have ME/CFS.

It is some next level doublespeak to break up a provincial healthcare system into 7 “health corridors” and call it an “integrated approach”… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.alberta.ca/regional-hea...
Regional health corridors
Transitioning to regional health corridors will help provincial health agencies respond to the needs of local communities.

There are creepy stories about MAID in Canada where basic support is cut to make life tolerable. Welfare support lines are a dead end of “your call is important to us” but the support line to access MAID is answered immediately by a friendly operator. Next come papers about how much money it saves.
S|AM Connor@criprights.bsky.social · 2y agoI agree with the *idea* of assisted suicide. Nobody should have to lead an intolerable life. But what if it is others who make your life intolerable? Or if you are unable to receive the basics that make life tolerable, like care, suitable medication, pain relief? Nope. www.msn.com/en-au/news/a...
