Look at this chart and remember:
1) the COVID immune damage claim is that after a COVID infection, influenza gets worse
vs
2) the "immunity debt" claim is that after a bad influenza season, influenza gets better
Now look at how 2022-23 compares to previous years, and ask "Which claim was right?"

Why not both? Bad flu strain and population-level immune dysfunction from mass, repeat COVID infection.
#MaskUp and get vaxxed indeed!
P.S. We are at 29,099 cases already this year as of Dec 19.
P.P.S. Chart also shows spreading flu is a choice 🤬

Good luck building that pipeline now b**ch.
"We know from every experience that having a referendum like that is incredibly hard to control. It’s incredibly destabilizing, and whether it’s yes or no, it freezes investment and ruins the economy."

Braid: Alberta will vote on separation in 2026. If it passes, where will Smith stand?
2026 will bring a separatist referendum in Alberta and hard choices for the governing NDP. Will Premier Danielle Smith stand for Canada?

With Canada's ER problem that is now in the global public eye, we can't afford to be flippant about preventable infectious diseases like COVID & influenza, because they contribute to surging capacity in ER. Airborne mitigations now
I am positive that severe overcrowding was a major factor in delays to care, and that his prolonged waiting did NOT improve anything in this pt's case.
The institutional response will be to try to blame one single HCW for this tragic outcome...

Just think that a year ago I did not know Mumdani's name and now I am watching a video about his mother. Crazy.
In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

I would suggest that better advice would be to wear a respirator, eg. a N95 mask, if you don't want to get sick, regardless of your medical situation.
Masks work! respirator masks work even better. If you are vulnerable wear a mask to protect yourself. If you are sick, wear a mask, or better yet stay at home and avoid making your fellow citizens sick as well.

Policy on health is clearly broken - politicized, out of touch, reactive and slow. My recent keynote at the Canadian Biosafety Symposium took a big-picture look at how and why that's happening, and how we can turn things around.

"Erased"?
Calm the fuck down, and stop repeating far-right talking points.
