JUST IN: Scientists built bacteria that EATS cancer from the inside out. The future of cancer treatment isn't a drug. It's a living organism that devours tumors from the inside. Here's how it works:

So this is who you're welcoming with open arms @mark-carney.bsky.social ? You and the @liberalca.bsky.social should be ashamed. As Canadians we're disgusted. 🖕🏼 #cdnpoli #Gladu

Gladu has a history of making decidedly un-Liberal statements She's suggested she Canada should "return" to its Christian "foundation" and also shared anti-Muslim videos, commenting: "People came to a country with certain values and now want to kill everyone else" pressprogress.ca/this_conserv...

Wow. Read the Career section of her Wikipedia page. This woman is a nutter who'd fit right into MAGA. I know no Liberal MPs will leave the party over this, because they've all proven by now that none of them believe in anything, but this is a particular black eye for the party.

I guess Carney has zero standards. A list of Gladu's greatest hits: 1) opposing cannabis legalization, she read a poem in the House urging MPs to "keep our great country safe from all the weed." 2) in 2020, she suggested using the military to end pipeline protests... bsky.app/profile/thes...

Let’s make a thread. Post the antithesis of mutually assured destruction. Sending love and peace to all. We are better than this man, this war.

Ontario’s Endangered Species Act is officially dead. The new Species Conservation Act is replacing it, but leaves many plants and animals — and their habitats — without protection. via @leahbortskuperman.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/ontario-spec...

Concise, clear explanation of how we know BA.3.2 is disproportionately infecting children and a quick summary of the only plausible explanation yet offered, from @solidevidence.bsky.social.

Love being awake 12:30-4:30am and counting 🫠🫩. Fun!

🚨post by @ahandvanish.bsky.social on XTwitter: "3 years after infection, women who had COVID have higher risk of pre-cancerous & invasive HPV-related cancers. Invasive cancer risk increased by 67% for cervical, 131% for vaginal, 98% for vulvar..." #LongCovid OP: x.com/ahandvanish/...

This is why I think it's so important to be vocal about not using AI. It's also why I think those of us who mask and/or have never had Covid-19 need to be vocal about that, too. There's a general sense of resignation these days borne from propaganda that says "Just accept it. Everyone else has."

Another reason for Canada to reject the #F35: right to repair. Even the US military is having trouble maintaining their F35s because Lockheed won’t permit their own government to know enough about the plane to repair it themselves. Where would that leave the Cdn military? youtu.be/VYslK8KCaKo?...

My book 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' will be out in the US and Canada now. If you've been waiting to buy it, you can. If you've been waiting to order it into your library, you can. If you've been waiting to tell your friends who are reviewers at the NYT, you can ;) #Books #Reading #US #Canada

"How is it possible for hospitals, nursing homes and other health-care employers to allow respiratory PPE that doesn’t fit the legal standard previously set for protecting workers against an airborne hazard? Simple. They just fail to explicitly state the virus is airborne."

you wouldn’t wait with a baseball bat to take on an intruder in your home while leaving your front door wide open. nor should you rely solely on vaccination while not bothering to cover your mouth & nose with a well-fitted respirator (n95). COVID is insidious. #maskup www.bmj.com/content/392/...

I mask everywhere. I've traveled the world; gone to the movies; gone to comedy shows; I've presented in rooms of 1,000s. 1x someone made a passive aggressive comment to me about it. One time! If you've stopped masking, it is not too late to start again. Please take care of your health.

Hungover robin wishes humans would shut the fuck up

Still really wish the N95s that fit me best came in different colours. The general population is terrified of a white N95 for some reason. Looks clinical maybe.

"Even individuals who did not become seriously ill with COVID-19 may have developed a weakened immune system that could lead to serious illnesses in the future." www.news-medical.net/news/2026031...

COVID can cause frontal lobe damage, which in turn is associated w/ mood swings, aggression, & impulsive behavior. (Keep in mind too 40-50% of infections are asymptomatic.) Could there possibly be a connection here? Or is it only bcs people are still pissed off they had to stay home 6 years ago?

"Cumulative SARS-CoV-2 burden was strongly associated with pandemic-era iGAS incidence. Cumulative streptococcal exposure did not support the immunity debt hypothesis. 🚨These ecological findings are consistent with SARS-CoV-2- associated immune dysregulation." Immune dysregulation NOT debt 🎯

🚨 Cumulative SARS-CoV-2 burden STRONGLY associated with iGAS incidence. INFECTION with SAR2, not lack thereof, was correlated with greater likelihood of Strep A. 🚨 What’s that sound? It’s the immunity debt 🤡 car hitting a wall. h/t @beansproutsmom.bsky.social

1/ The long term heart risks of C-19 💔 A massive new study in the European Heart Journal confirms what many feared: SARS-CoV-2 is not just a respiratory virus. It’s a long-term cardiovascular threat. The risk of major heart events remains elevated for years after infection.

Where there are droplets there is aerosol. The evidence for COVID being airborne is overwhelming + has been for ages. The UK COVID Inquiry has now also said it plainly. There’s a lot to do about it that has been blocked by nonsense because leaders didn’t want to be wrong. Can we move along now?

Will any of Canada’s medical leaders read this? And then act? From the UK COVID inquiry released today

We’re surveying people with Long Covid and caregivers of children with Long Covid to better understand what matters to you. This national survey for people in Canada covers questions about funding, research, treatments, resources, and more. #LongCovid 1/2

Two others at kid’s doctor appointment were also masking today! The human skeleton and dog skeleton on display in our room both had masks on. Not the living doctor or nurses, of course.

When you hear it said (and you will hear it said) that the number of people still wearing face masks in the year 2026 is genuinely concerning, kindly and firmly agree, for it is genuinely concerning in the year 2026 that the number of people still wearing face masks is so low

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

We're thrilled to release the #LongCovid Treatment Guide! This is a collaboration with @rthm.bsky.social to help patients & providers explore treatment options together. The guide focuses on 24 medications, but includes a few other interventions for breadth /1

The immune system is not a muscle. It is a cleansing fire. It causes collateral damage. It has a limited supply of fuel. It can get out of control. Don’t burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.
