Scientists at CSIC just tested an intranasal COVID-19 vaccine in mice.

Result? 100% protection after 2 doses. 🐭💨

Unlike shots in the arm, this nasal spray builds immunity where the virus enters — the respiratory tract.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Important for people to understand the AI utilized in specialty medical care IS NOT the same crap that is dumbing down humanity via falsehood-generating apps like Chat GPT.

COVID Revisionism Has Gone Too Far
If the center and left succumb to the view that “nothing worked,” no one will remain to defend sensible public-health measures the next time a pandemic comes around.

I think what bothers me about this genre of writing is how it is a not-too-subtle invitation for the lonely, struggling, vulnerable among us to use ChatGPT but is also pushing us further away from the very human interactions that might actually ease that suffering/pain.

Help shape Canada’s respirator standard!

Until August 19, the CSA Z94.4 standard is open for public comment — and for the first time, it includes protections in health care settings.

Less than 24 hours after posting this documentary to Instagram, we got locked out of our account. It’s about the crackdown on pro Palestinian protests on campuses across Montreal. We need your help to get the word out. 🙏 l.instagram.com?u=https%3A%2...
Palestine on Campus: the Student Movement in Montreal Schools
Since the first student encampment in solidarity with Palestine went up at McGill University last year, the student movement has only grown, organizing and diversifying tactics to pressure schools to divest academically and financially from Israel. In Palestine on Campus, The Rover’s Savannah Stewart and Justin Khan look back on the events of the last school year at McGill, Concordia and Dawson College, revealing how pro-Palestinian activism has raised tensions between university administrations and their student bodies and been the target of pushback from a variety of sources. Our investigation highlights an apparent lack of communication between university administrations and the student movement for Palestine, which enjoys broad support among the student body as evidenced by incredibly successful strike votes and divestment votes at both universities. In the absence of a meaningful reconciliation between the goals of the administrations and the demands of the students, we hope this documentary can help initiate the necessary conversations to chart a path forward. — Find in-depth investigative journalism, political commentary, podcast episodes and more at https://therover.ca/ Don’t miss out!
