Sounds like the effort to permanently hand control of preventative health guidance in Canada to this group is being railroaded through, aiming to have it locked in by April 2026, before the public has time to react and start fighting back.

OK this is ridiculous. The draft new Canadian public health guidance-development mechanism doubles down on excluding subject matter experts from voting roles, restricts membership to people from inside the EBM pseudoscience bubble, and sets up to funnel public money to McMaster-GRADE courses etc.

Data from Australia shows women told about density had more anxiety and confusion, as measure considered in UK
Telling women whether they have dense breasts as part of their breast cancer screening results may leave them feeling unnecessarily anxious and confused, according to a study.
Breast density refers to the level of glandular and fibrous tissue relative to fat in breasts. Dense breast tissue is a risk factor for breast cancer, and can also make mammograms more difficult to read. Continue reading...
