Exactly! This is what I think of every time the federal or provincial govt makes a grand announcement about a new facility. "Oh, yeah, where are the nurses/MDs/NPs/rad techs/lab techs coming from?"
Unless we have trained medical experts to STAFF these new buildings, this is meaningless.
Canada’s new government is investing in new health infrastructure across the country — to help build hospitals, emergency rooms, and urgent care centres Canadians rely on.

Just recalling overhearing a young nurse, at work in ER a few weeks ago, asking another nurse, "who's Edmund Fitzgerald?".

Vaccines save lives. Keep repeating the message. It’s the truth.
Vaccines against COVID-19 saved over 20 million lives in the first year alone, according to a study in Lancet Infectious Diseases. Anti vaxxers conveniently ignore such stats.

Cured of HIV! Amazing!

Went to a Celebration of Life yesterday, for a friend/colleague of my late father (they were both psychiatrists who started practice c. 1969). 2 docs ~20 yrs younger spoke about the support they rec'd from Dr. Yuen as new psychiatrists.

Whooping cough sucks, even mild cases. The kids who die from it have a combination of the worst respiratory distress, and cardiac effects that are a struggle to support even with ECMO. The decrease in cases after the rec for pregnant moms to get boosted was wonderful.

Vaccine preventable diseases literally KILL CHILDREN, there is NO EVIDENCE they cause autism & the fact that we’re even having this conversation in 2025 would be a FUCKING JOKE if it didn’t mean that kids who can’t help the fact that their parents are making BAD DECISIONS are ACTUALLY GOING TO DIE.

I saw this cat on a river-side trail today, taking itself for a walk. (The river is a salmon-spawning one, and the air nearby reeks of rotting fish.)
A few minutes later, a woman walked up and said, "Oh, Bob!" to the cat, in an exasperated tone.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

This!!You expressed perfectly what I was trying to tell the author of that piece tonight. It not enough to say RFKJr challenged scientific orthodoxy or consensus ( the word she changed it to). That’s not good enough. Kennedy is going against scientific fucking FACT. There is nothing to debate.
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
