We were unable to get COVID boosters for our kids and ourselves prior to travel this summer and were told days before our appt Alberta didn't get any pediatric vaccines for COVID and aren't going to anytime soon.

And my 4 yr old son is a stem cell recipient and cancer survivor

When my son had brain cancer in 2021 the oncologist told us they're more concerned with bacterial infections in immunosuppressed cancer patients, so not to worry about a virus 😬. Reality is he was much safer getting chemo in 2021 than today bc some ppl still cared about masking in hospitals

Yes. Everything has been tailored to their preferences so anything outside of their own lived experience is an aberration. Cishet white male directors, writers, producers used to create vast majority in mainstream so every bit of media consumed/advertisement is what they want to see/hear.

Wow. These took us way longer than an hour! More like 3+ but our 6 yr old has done now Ferrari, Williams, McLaren and Red Bull. Such a cool collection.

I'll be referencing this chart now in my rationale for taking dental radiographs.

One more bookish set for good measure.

Fluoride in water supply allows adult enamel (which forms from age 3-6) to form stronger than natural enamel that is more stable in acidic pH (F replaces OH-). This is a lifelong benefit that can't be achieved w topical fluoride (toothpaste) after development window closes around 6 yrs old.

And cannot be undone. The window for adult enamel formation is age 3-6 (not wisdom teeth). Miss that window to form highly substituted fluorapatite with the 0.7mg/ml in h20, the adult teeth are forever less stable in low pH = LIFETIME increased cavity risk. Massive amt of Americans are screwed.

A patient told me this week after hearing a podcast he believes AIDS is caused by a vaccine. I just can't anymore.

3 years cancer free so far!

What really bugs me is if he did die of COVID during treatment, ppl would've said it was sad, but he was gonna die anyway so they can justify not changing their behaviour. (They did this w a cancer pt in my province).

This is so awful. When my son was in hospital a lady in the elevator came on unmasked.

Me: "can you mask? his little brother has cancer", gesturing to my 3 yr old with me (this was Dec 2021 still mandatory in shared spaces)

Her: coughed loudly and yelled "ITS MY CHOICE" and rode the elevator.
