The proposal requires family members' information. Holding people responsible for their family members' views was a Nazi practice (Sippenhaft). US residents: oppose this during the comment period. Potential visitors: don't come and let the US hospitality industry, including Trump's hotels, crash.

Every single public health leader who denied the fact that COVID is airborne created permanent conflicts of interest that mean they simply can't be trusted to provide accurate information on any airborne illness (including the flu).
Screwing up and wasting an enormous number of lives will do that.

How many times do we have to be right about what's going on before everyone recognizes the link with the huge conflicts of interest held by the public health and infection control leaders minimizing the impacts of airborne diseases like flu and COVID, and pretending nothing can be done about them?

Far right MAGA-North politicians deliberately wrecking Canada's public healthcare system is evil, but predictable. But the infection control leaders going along with it because it aligns with their need for everyone to forget about their mismanagement of COVID deserve some real media scrutiny.
🚨 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.
