The Blue Jays’ inspiring playoff run captured the imagination of Canadians. As the Jays advanced in the playoffs, Canadians came to believe in the power of positivity & unity. Let’s carry that spirit with us in the days, weeks, & months ahead as we face serious challenges as a nation.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”
Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Here’s the truth:
– Every breath indoors without protection is a coin flip.
– By 2030, the question won’t be who masked. It will be who’s still standing.
– It’s not paranoia. It’s prevention.

We are in another major wave — even if the news isn’t reporting it. You might not test. You might shrug it off. But sooner or later, one infection will leave its mark. I guarantee it.

And it’s not just adults. Kids are developing immune dysfunction that mirrors HIV — at rates similar to adults. Each infection compounds risk. This isn’t hypothetical. It’s happening.

That adds up. By decade’s end, if you aren’t protecting yourself, you won’t be the same. Not just “a little older.” We’re talking accelerated aging: dementia, stroke, heart attack, cancer, chronic illness.

The avg American has already been infected ~4x. “Brain fog” isn’t just being tired — it’s measurable brain injury. Each year you skip masking, testing, or clean air, you’re rolling the dice on another 1–2 infections.

I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath.
And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth.

This interview was amazingly candid.
Dr Juni effectively called out the entire medical and public health machine and accused it (correctly) of having applied dogma to COVID rather than Science.
We need to train the next generations of doctors and public health personnel in Science, not dogma.
