Have a peaceful Easter, to those who celebrate. Happy last few days of Passover, to those who celebrate, and Shabbat shalom.

Canadians, please go out and vote (advance polls are open). Stand up for all that is dear to us. We’ve got this, but only if Liberals cast their ballots.

We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.

The province with the highest rate of new HIV infections every year (4-5 times the nat'l avg) has just ended needle exchange funding and slashed harm reduction spending. Well done, Saskatchewan! 😠

Not only was the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine ineffective against COVID19 but it’s been estimated that it cost almost 17,000 people their lives and folks who promoted it so actively and persistently like Trump have a LOT to answer for

It only makes sense to not update everyone’s Covid vaccines if they didn’t wane. But they do wane, so thanks again NACI for setting us all up for rounds upon rounds of infections, hospitalizations and long-term complications.

Calls are growing for the Ontario government to recall the legislature and deal with rising emergency room wait times.

JN.1 is dominant -its fitness was never really in doubt- as predicted.
Allowing unmitigated spread will lead to more evolution and mutations and the cycle will continue.
Same as it ever was.

During this period, a few U.S. licensed physicians have spread COVID-19 and vaccine misinformation nationwide to legislators and the public, profiting by selling ivermectin based on these falsehoods.

Their message is not subtle.

Almost finished writing (with others) a commissioned review on masks. Yes, they work. All the caveats obvs (they don’t if you’re not wearing them etc). And the laboratory evidence is awesome. One of the biggest scandals of the pandemic was (is) how some excellent science was ignored / denigrated.
