Sadly in Canada it’s not available at all anymore :(. Talk about abandoning a whole subset of the population that can’t take the mRNA and tends to be actually more vulnerable than the average person (hence the mRNA reactions or side effects 🫠).

Saving face is a big thing, sadly, and it’s really hard to get past especially if it’s ingrained in your culture. I think it’s doubly difficult if admitting you were wrong means admitting you have caused harm, as well, especially to people you care about.

The omission is so glaring!! And yet she’s never called out on it—or no one is allowed to.

I haven’t found it particularly predictive on a daily basis, but I do find that overall trends/large shifts do tend to match slower changes in baseline. Buuut since it can also reflect other things like medications that change heart rate etc, I don’t really rely on it.

They eventually went to find masks (this was a clinic that said in their emails that masks were mandatory!), but the rest of the appointment focused on my ‘anxiety’ when they didn’t find anything on the scope.

Yup, I had them tell me all my sinus issues might also be from anxiety and once I acclimatize to not masking I’ll be fine, I’ll even find that getting sick is no big deal! Then they hesitated, and gave each other looks when I asked them to mask up before I took mine off for a sinus scope.

Wear a damn mask in public. Care about, fight for, model cleaner air. Don't hold a single organizing event that people would be prevented from attending due to concerns about covid.

That's the work. That's what confronting disinformation head-on will look like. Confronting *all* of it.

I'm not talking down to anybody, I'm not even mad. I'm a staunch believer that when people want to join your political tent, you welcome them instead of grouching at them for not being there sooner.

But if you wanna join this tent, you gotta actually join this tent. The whole thing.

Of course you need all that stress on top of the rest of it! Ugh. I’ve got my fingers crossed for you…
