People with some cancers live longer after a COVID vaccine www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"...more data would require research in a field that has been defunded & criticized by Trump-administration officials."

The lies & doubtmongering about mRNA research could have a broad impact.

Immune boosting?

"That’s a pseudoscience term. You're not boosting anything. You're not giving yourself more B cells or more T cells."

Ignore immune boost bunk. Better: healthy diet, sleep, and, of course, vaccinate.

Writing a piece on how PROTEIN latest nutrition fad "health halo."

Search trends demos increasing interest, especially in January (we humans hilariously predictable).

Poilievre doing damage control after being called out for his Trumpy rhetoric. A Saturday comics extra, for the Dr. Who fans and Pierre stans. It occurred to me that his voice reminded me of a dalek—along with his charming personality. #cdnpoli #politicalcartoon #pierrepoilievre #conservative #dalek

It’s POTS awareness day—a blood flow problem common after Covid.

POTS can be subtle—I often wonder how many people who feel rundown, anxious or distracted have this treatable condition.

Main criteria is heart rate going up >30bpm when going from laying down to standing—smthg you can check at home!

“Toderian says it’s easy to be distracted by futuristic innovations…‘The real solutions are a lot less sexy and a lot more common sense,’ he says. ‘It’s not about utopia. It’s about practicality in the context of the real challenges we face. Tech won’t save us if we get the fundamentals wrong.’

Did anyone think that Trump would sign a trade deal with Canada?
His latest silly tantrum says it all. The American "century" is over. A malignant narcissist killed it all.
Canada is moving on.
We will do business with China and Europe.

While the rest of us focus on fighting back against Donald Trump, Pierre Poilievre remains obsessed with Justin Trudeau. i think he was triggered by the Katy Perry/Justin on the yacht photo.
Poilievre has no policies or plan, he is using the extremist playbook.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Kudos to these universities for standing up to Trump's demands.

Health Canada puts out guidelines recommending N95s and clean indoor air!

Let’s do this!

Yes it’s overdue, and no it doesn’t address every risk factor, but we can significantly curb COVID with respirator use and clean air.
