No CTV News, this does not surprise me at all. I've been paying attention to the ongoing pandemic. You have been too busy minimizing. Study compares heart risks of COVID-19 infection and vaccination, and the results may surprise you www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

Paging folk on #YorkU Keele campus. If you're free until 4 pm today, please join @dupuisj.bsky.social and I in room 530 of the Beautiful Brutalist Behemoth also known as Scott Library, for the annual #WomenInSTEM Wikipedia Editathon. We have timbits, coffee & tea #EDI #DEI cc @drsmith.bsky.social

This won't surprise anyone who's bothered to pay attention. But people getting all their info from mainstream commercial outlets had better listen up. We're well into Year 6 of this #pandemic and it's monstrous that this is only starting to reach the general public. #healthcare #COVID #vaccines

I've been able to read and process information rationally for almost 40 years now, so, no CTV, the results do not surprise me either what's surprising is how comfortable news orgs were in welcoming and platforming corporate hacks, eugenicists, and conspiracy theorists during a deadly pandemic

“The results may surprise you” 🤡

👇👇

The results may surprise you, unless you’ve been paying attention to scientists instead of politicians, the public health officials they control, and the media for the past five years

NOSSA, mas QUEM DIRIA que vacinar é melhor que ser infectado pela doença?

@desmog.com reviewed US tax records which show Bill Gates’ charity has donated more than $3.5 million to a think tank run by Danish academic and climate crisis denier Bjørn Lomborg www.desmog.com/2025/11/05/b...

John's exactly right. If such a result is "surprising" then that's an indictment of CTV and other media outlets who have misled people from day one, pandering to "just asking questions" anti-vax liars & "back to normal" business leaders desperate to pad their bottom line at the expense of our health

Nor I. Of course, ‘during the pandemic’ is itself pretty minimizing. They need to stop doing that if the actual intent is to be informative.

I get what's being said here, but for fuck's sakes people, it's still the Covid era and the failure to end it is a big part of why we're in this mess.

As a Canadian researcher/academic, it's beyond discouraging that the federal gov't is rolling out the welcome mat for foreign assistant professors, doctoral students and postdocs, while *cutting* domestic research funding and doing nothing to support those of us who are already here, doing the work.

👇🏼💯

Vaccines are... Good, actually!?

💯

Hint: it's higher after infection.

‘Layoffs may be rising, but people are also getting rehired more often as part of a "layoff boomerang" trend. When it comes to AI investment, "maybe all this money is not actually being spent all that wisely.”’ www.axios.com/2025/11/04/a...

Elsie MacGill was the first woman to earn a Master's in aeronautical engineering. During the Second World War, she oversaw the construction of 1,451 Hawker Hurricanes. For that, she was known as The Queen of the Hurricanes. This is her remarkable story! 🧵 1/11

Groomed, but what worries me more is that all our political elites have learned (and are being taught) that the politically safe response is inaction. Bar owners are scarier than pandemics. Caring about health inequalities is a loser. It involves rewriting political history but it’s clearly working.

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

They are destroying what SHE built. #TeenVogue

CBC finally reacted - a day late and a dollar short - sticking a little correction notice on a year-old web story that no one will ever read. How many kids 👉today👈 are suffering with undiagnosed #longCOVID because of this specific failure, and CBC's disregard for the need to correct it?

Thread about COVID and work, and the way our institutions continue to fail us.

1 in 2022, the CBC dropped all COVID measures and promptly ordered its workforce back to the office—mere months after the convoy siege of ottawa, a right-wing plot instigated ostensibly to force an end to all vax/mask mandates. if the convoy failed to achieve its aims, it prevailed in one big way…

Book idea for someone to pick up: - Take every one of Elon Musk's really dumb and wrong takes (e.g. the latest thing about quantum computers on the Moon, but there is at least one every two days, so plenty of content) - Spend one page per item showing how he is *very* wrong - TAKE MY MONEY

A middle school kid just came to the door dressed as "An AI Overlord." I asked if she was good or evil. "Evil, of course." I laughed and said the future was in good hands, to which she replied, "No, it's not." Protect these kids at all costs.

NewMatch is such a cool program. They even match monthly donations! $5 a month becomes $10 a month for the whole next year!

It's okay, I'm sure we learned all the right lessons from last time

Have carefree fun tonight, everyone, because the rest of the 364 days of the year are way more scary than Halloween is. 🦇

This is why I still wear a mask everywhere outside my home, and still vaccinate every year. I can't trust other people to take this shit seriously. I'm one of the fortunate few who has never had covid, and hopes to never have it. I also don't gather with friends or family indoors.

No worries. I'm sure the entire chain of custody, from the field to and including in the lab followed aerosol precautions 🫠
