“We cannot talk about COVID-19 in the past tense. Although the crisis has passed, the virus remains.
It continues to evolve, it continues to kill, and millions of people continue to live with post COVID-19 condition or long COVID.”

I see safer care in action when:
* I see healthcare professionals wearing N95s without me having to ask or negotiate for safer care, and
* They are taking care of cleaning the air - especially when care requires me or my family member to remove our own respirator.

I've asked Canada Revenue Agency about this issue before, they won't comment on the activities of individual charities due to the "confidentiality provisions of the Income Tax Act"
They note the public can report charities suspected of non-compliant activities here:

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Remember this as public health authorities keep coming out with more excuses to discard responsibility for their mismanagement of COVID, end vaccination, etc. They *love* the idea of COVID becoming endemic and #longCOVID being unpreventable, because 👉they can pretend there's nothing they could do.👈
Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:

Remember, the vax NEVER claimed to do more than reduce your odds of going to a hospital or a morgue if infected!
It does NOT prevent infection OR Long COVID - an N95/FFP2 respirator on your face wherever there are other people is the #1 way to avoid becoming disabled/more disabled by this virus.

Vaccination is highly effective at preventing hospitalisation for acute Covid-19. The NHS is under unprecedented pressure. A sensible, evidence-based policy decision would thus be to significantly widen eligibility for free Covid-19 vaccination.

Covid hospitalisations up by 37% - highest in nearly a year
Waning immunity from jabs and prior infections - together with rising cases as children go back to school and the weather cools - are thought to be behind the rise in hospitalisations

We've waited months for an in-person appt. for my parents w/ Primary Care so meds can be represcribed. MUST be in person. Doesn't matter that Dad is declining, etc. We do parking lot appts. due to no masks/high CO2.
Today it's raining. Guess who now says a phone appt. is OK?

Paternalism in healthcare: Tony is getting an outpatient procedure. They require a driver. I'm waiting in the parking lot. His word is not good enough. I have to physically present myself or they won't check him in. Why treat him like he's lying from the get-go? @vanislandhealth.bsky.social

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.
