It’s good to explain that the CDC is lying and vaccines still unequivocally do not cause autism, even if it just reaches one person on here who has doubts. But the fight is out there, not in here; and the time to let go of the information deficit model of science communication was decades ago

🚨 This is inexplicable news to share. If in Alberta and you want flu and covid shots for NEXT year (2026-2027), you have only until December 15 of THIS year to order them.

This is not incompetence. It’s a deliberate choice to prevent as many people ..

And b and c are both ints that a is a float???

To answer PP's question. No I do not want to give the Liberals a 4th term. But thanks to him beIng the leader of the most plausible alternative, that is probably exactly what I'll be voting for.
