A safer holiday season doesn’t require perfection. It requires awareness, shared responsibility, and practical steps that reduce risk — like staying home when sick, improving indoor air, masking when needed, and testing around gatherings.

If RFK Jr is not replaced as HHS head, along with his various lackeys (Bhattacharya, Hoeg, Prasad, Makary, Kulldorf, etc) before the midterm elections, I really don't see how the USA regains any international credibility in health sciences in my lifetime. Clock is ticking.

If you think the #COVID19 pandemic is done and ever-evolving variants pose no significant threat, consider these two realities, writes contributing editor Andrew Nikiforuk.

I have for years been concerned about Doug Ford's desire to limit and deke around the democratic protections in Ontario. Here he is again chipping away at our foundation, in a way that looks a lot like the Trumpian/MAGA efforts to tilt elections and stay in power. #ontario #onpoli

I enjoy visits back to Scotland, but I've loved living in Canada. No regrets. Yes, I'm a settler, but I love this country and I've tried to make a positive difference. Oh, yeah, Fuck Cancer.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Jürgen is correct. Any historian of Germany in the 30s recognizes this language and approach instantly: the "enemy within" consisted of Social Democrats, Jews, Poles, Gyspies and Gays. Their eradication was sought and to a horrendous extent accomplished.

Well, that's alarming.
Covid-19 infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells, & trigger the growth of secondary cancers. There is now compelling medical evidence to this effect.

I need to say a few words about Darren.
He was, in many ways, the doctor all doctors needed to be. Compassionate, caring, an advocate and a poet. We were all privliged to have him in our world.
And we are poorer for his departure from it.
Wherever you are, I hope there are paddles and pedals.
