In ON, private clinics are offering diagnostic imaging with the sales line of “Peace of Mind is a Scan Away” as opposed to being based upon the recommendation of a qualified practitioner or as part of a provincially supported screening program.
How does this mesh with the Canada Health Act?

The “third lesson” describes the risk of a measles infection.
Individuals with vaccine concerns should have those discussion with their clinicians. If they remain opposed (without a medical reason) then they need to accept that they may be helping spread the disease.

Sadly so true.
Regardless of our more educated society we still fall for the ruse of conspiracies.
It’s really not very different than how in the past we decided that harmful events were caused by “witches” or lack of sacrifices to the “gods”.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 27 (Reuters) - “Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab is planning to cut as many as 30,000 corporate jobs beginning on Tuesday, as the company pares expenses and compensates for overhiring during the peak demand of the pandemic.”
“The market loves stability” and job cuts of course.

That is an excellent but unfortunate summary.
I mentioned last week that it appears that our societies have become like binary code; you are either a 1 or a 0 with nothing in between, ahead or behind.
We are anything and everything but.

Consider the technique used to subdue this individual.
This police officer in the foreground is kneeling on the arm above the elbow and holding the wrist of the same arm.
The elbow is a hinge and pivot joint,
but it cannot “hinge” backwards. Pulling the wrist upward would cause excruciating pain!

Without knowing the story, I am trying to imagine what is going through the minds of these children, pushed up against a wall by armed men with masks but without uniforms, struggling to hang onto one another while being violently pulled apart and they snatch one and whisk him away.

It’s similar to how teenage pregnancies drop off by the time young ladies mark their 20th year. Sometimes science can’t explain everything; sometimes it takes many deeper dives; opinions from non-professionals or comments from basement scientists, soothe sayers, crystal sorcerers orTarot readers .

(For reference I recall the civil rights protests in the ‘60s; batons, dogs, water-cannons, tear gas.)
