This photo of Oz, RFK, Makary, Prasad and bhattacharya is dark. The perfect merger of “respectable, evidence-based medicine” with rank equals and grifters, all for political power. Anyone who enabled these men in any way owns this moment too.

With 77,000 people on AISH, the UCP stands to take 15,400,000 a month with money that is supposed to be helping lift disabled Albertans a little more out of poverty. They’re taking $15 million a month away from some of Alberta’s most vulnerable. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

It’s really sad that even when you tell people who don’t mask that there’s mountains of evidence proving repeat Covid infections damage your immune & vascular systems and cause brain damage—bc you think they must not know!—they still won’t wear a mask because it gets in the way of their bootlicking.

Well folks, I started a THIRD Healthcare Pack. In addition to traditional professions, I’m adding administrators, HR, Medtech, software for Healthcare, Dental hygienists, etc Please put something in your bio and FOLLOW me. I will catch it and add you to this group. REPOST go.bsky.app/QQi8C4x

A reminder that under no circumstances is Dr Henry an acceptable choice for Canada's Chief Medical Officer of Health. One of the few people in the world to have botched two different SARS-CoV outbreaks, the fact that people like her constantly fail upwards is what gives extremists credibility. 🧵:

CDC source: “We just had word that all our fellows and post doc staff are laid off effective immediately. The famous Epidemic Intelligence Service, aka the Disease Detectives, is no more. That’s 1260 staff. They are calling this ‘Phase 1’.”

Whatever happens today at 3:00 on that phone call, I am still only going to buy Canadian. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

This may be the funniest and yet simultaneously the saddest attempt at historical revisionism I have ever seen. And the way the section snippets fall out is just...👨‍🍳😙 "None declared..." 🤣 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

DROPOSOLS!! Ahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!Anything but accountability right John ‘Acne King’ Conly? 🤡

Made potato buns today. They are melt in your mouth fluffy. 😋

It was a sugar cookie and butter tart kind of day. ❄️

What I have been saying for years. Cardiovascular events are #immunothrombosis events. Hypertension is an immunological disorder with vascular end-points driven by #thromboinflammation.

T cells get hungry! Check out Shixin Ma's new paper showing nutrient switching controls T cell exhaustion. Nutrients metabolized in the nucleus by ACSS2 and ACLY direct histone acetylation at key loci via binding to specific HATs, indicating a metabolic code guides our histone code. @science.org

Science’s 2024 Breakthrough of the Year is lenacapavir, an injectable drug that demonstrated remarkable success at preventing HIV infection with one shot every 6 months. Learn more about this year's #BOTY and other big advances in science: scim.ag/3BrCtUn

Had a psychopathic harassment account use a photo of my mother as their profile photo on X today. They sat in a space with it to harass me. 🫠 #skyspaces can’t get here soon enough.

💯Clean air delivery rate (CADR) is more important than HEPA rating! I have been buying portable air cleaners for the lab and home that are not HEPA-level but offer a high CADR per dollar spent and low noise. Marwa Zaatari's comparison chart from 2021 is a good way to think about this.

The last half of the 1990s was when the false image of ME/CFS as a “yuppie“ disease began to crumble, thanks to good work done by Leonard Jason and others like this west coast group. I had been ill for over 13 years before the CDC finally acknowledged that Black people like me could have ME/CFS.

Buy your loved-ones lotsa banned books for the holidays.

It is some next level doublespeak to break up a provincial healthcare system into 7 “health corridors” and call it an “integrated approach”… #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.alberta.ca/regional-hea...

I don’t have the answers to assisted dying concerns … but what I DO know is we must centre the voices of disabled people who have the most to lose under these programs. For those who believe Canada has strong safeguards - please read this case of someone dying due to lack of safe housing:

Ignore this. I dare you. #MedSky pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

There are creepy stories about MAID in Canada where basic support is cut to make life tolerable. Welfare support lines are a dead end of “your call is important to us” but the support line to access MAID is answered immediately by a friendly operator. Next come papers about how much money it saves.

Last call for stories from patients (or caregivers) who had difficulty getting healthcare workers to mask. If you had pushback, reduction in care, were infected with Covid, experienced retaliation or accusations of “anxiety”… I want to hear from you 👇🏼!

Cozy inside this snowy Saturday morning.

“the litigious Rinehart, a climate change skeptic, has found in the pro-coal government of Danielle Smith, a willing accomplice. Smith vowed in 2022 that if locals ever said yes to the project in a referendum, she would push it forward.” thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

The difference between Dr. Oz and the Wizard of Oz is that the Wizard of Oz admitted he was a complete fraud.

If a pollutant in our drinking water or some kind of dreaded "toxin" was causing a 16% increase in cardiac defects in babies, people would be up in arms to ban it. Yet here we are, "living with" SARS-CoV-2 like it's nothing.

So sad. This was largely preventable. 😔

Snow day! ❄️ ❄️ #theviewfromhere

The view from here. 💕

Yay!! Can’t wait! 😃
