Australia's Heart Foundation just launched an info campaign on the harms of COVID to cardiovascular health - good to see!
But current vaccines only reduce risk of heart damage, they do not eliminate it. We need masking, clean indoor air, better prevention & next gen vaccines

Health Canada puts out guidelines recommending N95s and clean indoor air!
Let’s do this!
Yes it’s overdue, and no it doesn’t address every risk factor, but we can significantly curb COVID with respirator use and clean air.

Record solar expansion and steady wind growth driving world’s shift away from fossil fuels in 2025, report finds
The world’s wind and solar farms have generated more electricity than coal plants for the first time this year, marking a turning point for the global power system, according to research.
A report by the climate thinktank Ember found that in the first six months of 2025, renewable energy outpaced the world’s growing appetite for electricity, leading to a small decline in coal and gas use. Continue reading...

Prepare for sleeves and elbows up, Canadians! Everyone >6 months is eligible for the Covid-19 vaccine (LP.8.1). It will provide fourfold increase in antibody levels. In our family practice, we expect to receive the vaccine mid-October. We’ve already booked our patients for flu & Covid-boosters. 🇨🇦💉

We have schools in #OntEd with condemned ventilation systems, electrical issues, leaking rooftops, and crumbling walls. Parents of children with special needs are being asked to keep their kids home due to a lack of special education staff. Bill 33 does nothing to solve this.

Why? Canaries detect dangerous substances in the air of coal mines. We all need to be like canaries and warn about the dangers of unhealthy indoor air due to COVID and climate.
