Some vaccines like COVID and flu don’t stop completely stop infection.

But they do reduce the risk of getting infected and greatly reduce severe illness risk.

They are still worth getting.

Since they are not 100% effective it’s also wise to add another layer of protection by wearing a mask.

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.

Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

🚨NEWS: NDP Leadership Candidate Tony McQuail had a message for his donors on my podcast today:

Don't send him any more money, for now.

Send it to fellow candidate @votetanille.bsky.social until she raises enough to survive the next cut off.

Watch as Tony made news (and almost made us all cry):

If we don't rapidly phase out fossil fuels, we can say goodbye to coral reefs, the Greenland and Antarctic icesheets, and permafrost. The results will not be pretty.

Scientists are increasingly concerned that the planet is headed for massive, irreversible changes due to global warming. In some cases, those changes have already begun.

There’s not enough attention being paid to the fact that ICE deported a man in a persistent vegetative state

Or the fact that he was perfectly healthy when he was detained, and his family have no idea what was done to him to cause such a severe decline

He died shortly after being deported to Cuba

What's that? The province purposely failed to order enough covid vaccines while also making them harder to get at public clinics and now there is a shortage?

It's bad enough that they went from FREE to $100+ per person. The Alberta gov is anti vaxx, anti science, and anti public health to its core.
High demand for private COVID-19 shots sparks supply problems, waitlists for Alberta pharmacies | CBC News
Some Alberta pharmacists say they've started waitlists for private COVID-19 vaccines because they can't get their hands on stock as frustrated Albertans turn to them for the shots.

The PDF is FREE. If you buy a print copy, $2 will support food security initiatives through the Qajuqturvik Community Food Centre.

Long Covid is the most common chronic illness among children now. Congratulations?
The Great Barrington Dec. aka the “let covid rip” policy, legitimated the death of over a million Americans, is disabling of tens of millions more, & failed to achieve its own instrumental goal, ending the pandemic. It did succeed hwvr in gutting public health & eroding public trust in science

Why do people from other countries find it weird that Canadians take their shoes off at the front door? I mean we don’t want to drag in mud, dirt, snow, germs etc., most of us have indoor shoes or slippers. It keeps your floors & carpets clean & reduces germs, think of where you are walking daily.

The U.S. government has labelled Antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.”

There’s just one problem: it’s not an organization. It’s more like an ideology, or a philosophy.

I spoke with extremism and national security experts — and one said this is “plainly out of the authoritarian playbook.”

He stood in front of the world at the UN today, and every other word out of his mouth was a lie. I’ll say it again, we’ve not been here before. An American President who lies as he breathes. It’s a terrible place to be. Shame on the media & everyone who’s normalized his lying and/or doesn’t care.
