And how is it acceptable that the hospitals that are doing anything aren't basing what they are doing on any science, but instead on IPC "vibes"? Medical masks near patients are not PPE and do not respect science, which says covid and flu are aerosol-borne and require N95 protection.
If vaccination rates are well below target and a severe flu season is expected (+ Covid out of control all year round) how is it acceptable that there are so many hospitals not even doing anything?

Anyone else remember when "someone" selectively leaked parts of the Walkerton inquiry, to manipulate press coverage and help cover up how the ideological extremism of Ontario's Conservative government killed people?

There's no legitimate reason for them to be manipulating access like this.

Important to remember when looking at what "the crowd" thinks about things: a large chunk of it is fake - Russian propaganda, bot-armies paid for by various members of Team Oligarch etc.

So if you ever think "wow, a lot of people support Trump / Russia / ICE / viruses / etc"...

...no they don't.
X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based.

The walls are closing in on those responsible for the worst medical error in history. There's no denying it was a mistake when they let their egos reject the advice of people who knew better, there's no denying it killed an enormous number of people.

Just as a matter of interest, allowing political parties to receive donations in crypto is one way for Russian and pro-Russian donations to be disguised.

Get your flu shot. But wear an N95.

👉f it doesn't get inside you, it can't make you sick.👈

Especially with bird flu waiting in the wings (hah!) and no real preparations in place for it, now's the time to get a sample pack of different N95s and find a comfortable one that fits you well.

Reuters reports the U.S. is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace deal by threatening to cut off weapons and intelligence support. Sources say the pressure is heavier than ever, with Washington pushing for a signature by next Thursday.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

UK Covid Inquiry concludes: 23,000 deaths could've been prevented if the March 2020 lockdown had been imposed just a week earlier.

No mistake by any prime minister in living memory has caused so many deaths in the UK.

All public health officials and infectious disease experts who advocated for “you do you” and “be kind” and refused to listen to experts in adjacent fields like physics, engineering and industrial hygiene:

You fed the anti-science monster. Now it has taken over.
Disinformation escalation by RFK:

The CDC has now "repudiated its past insistence that vaccines do not cause autism after decades of fighting misinformation linking the two, blindsiding career staff and delighting anti-vaccine activists."

2023: "...the rot in public health is structural: It cannot be cured by simply rotating the figureheads who preside over it. Building effective national health infrastructure will require confronting pervasive distortions...that have left US public health agencies captive to partisan interests."

Want to Fix Public Health? Stop Thinking Like a Doctor.
Public health requires seeing the world from a collective perspective, but US agencies are still dominated by doctors trained to work on an individual level.

Canada has it's own "Urgency of Brunch" crowd, who killed people for the sake of their own egos, and now insist talking about it is "out of scope".

Public health will not regain trust until it deals with the culture of manipulation, deception and entitlement that is exemplified by its leaders.

i’m sure both my late dad and his hero dr. semmelweis would be glad to find handwashing is still an established and recommended practice during an ongoing pandemic. but i’m as certain they’d both be sporting n95s and wondering why so many of their contemporaries aren’t 4/4

This happens while an all-male panel in South Carolina is deciding whether women should be charged w/ murder for their pregnancies.
