No. I mean specifically in my case I have been personally warned to use only government approved materials and to make no other comments or promotional statements on social media as per Australian regulations. It does not mean I am against vaccines.

Sometimes medical professionals speak in tongues, and it needs translation. “My practice is unsafe because I haven’t bothered to update anything, including my brain.” Happy to help out any time.

Imagine wearing a mask at the dentist only to have them say "COVID is over" and accuse you of "living in fear." 🤦♂️ Medical professionals should respect patient health choices, not shame them. Source:

Before I left Facebook, I did a survey asking my (liberal) friends why they had stopped masking. The number one response, by far, was "My doctors don't mask. If COVID was a big deal, my doctors would be wearing masks."

Temperatures didn't go under 30°C last night. Woke up at 6am, was 31°C. It's only getting worse throughout the day. Luckily this should be the last day of the heat wave for my area. 4 or 5 days at around 40°C was more than enough for me. I'm in west coast France, in June, this is not normal.

The heatwave in Europe is so extreme, it's 25–32°F (14–18°C) above normal. You read that right. France recorded it's hottest day ever. The UK had its hottest ever June day. The ground is exceeding 122°F (50°C). People are dying. Tell me again why we shouldn't talk about climate change???

I see this in my cancer hospital workplace all the time. Cancer patient in a good mask. Partner with no mask. And I think: they must not know because surely they love their partner and don't want them to get sick? Mind you when none of the doctors and nurses are role-modelling mask-wearing ...

I suspect this is why Ebola got milder. It went to France, made friends with some penicillin Cambert and now it’s a mild, creamy virus the way Brie is mild like American Cheddar. I know that’s not what viruses do, this is an attempt at satire.
