A reply from @nhvwguy reads “We should probably follow up with this lad down the road always. You know he’s probably going to need a Rife Machine to recover from his vaccine injuries. Some one [sic] will have to donate it to him since all his money will be in Ukraine.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fpwat6yypl7sjbke3orwth7f/bafkreifn4nwolo5pyspei7anmaf4z5waiwnadxrq46ypuo4mlsot3x7ep4@jpeg)

I wish there were a polite way to say, “I can see clearly that you are sick, and it would obviously be better for everyone if you were at home recovering, but since you’re here, I would greatly appreciate it if you took any kind of precaution to protect the people around you from your pathogens” 😷

NEW: Minister of Forestry and Parks Todd Loewen is allowing a lucky few to hunt threatened grizzly bears who are deemed a threat to people.
Loewen, according to his most recent ethics disclosure, owns shares in a hunting tourism company.
