Is the massive market for gluten-free products contributing to a nocebo effect? Likely.
New study finds:
- "fermentable carbohydrates & nocebo effects [not gluten] contribute considerably to symptom generation"
- "commercial & media influences" seem significant

It's still bizarre that we can't get Novavax in Canada.
Cheaper, fewer side effects, at least as effective (if not moreso), provides an alternative for people who are averse to mRNA for any reason

I'm Canadian, starting my fourth year with Long Covid. I crossed the border last year to get the Novavax but this year that is not an option so no vaccine for me. MRNA vaccines are not tolerated by a lot more people than you think.

Funny thing happens when you build gas plants just after cancelling renewable energy contracts (and then try to build renewables again when you realize you needed them after all) Ontario will miss 2030 emission reduction goal by even wider gap than it admits: auditor www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Canadians have no faith in these investigations. They take forever and go nowhere. Even when gross corruption, cheating, lying is exposed there is NEVER any accountablity.
Doug Ford is being investigated for corruption by the Auditor
Add this to the Therme nightmare, the Science Centre, no jobs, no housing, no $$ for health or housing and now rumours that his obsession with speed cameras is because his daughter got caught by them too many times?

Costco in Roseville has Novavax, maybe not an option on Costco website. I was told to walk in (Mon to Fri) so I ended up getting the needle at Kroger in Sterling Heights (on Schoenherr). Pharmacist there said Novavax was pretty popular: “We’re busy with all vaccines, we’re giving 35 to 40 a day.”
