New Democrats work to help families and build up the healthcare we all rely on. The UCP only knows how to pick petty fights. Denying Albertans access to insured birth control and diabetes medication is monstrous. #abhealth #ableg

This is a blatant lie/gaslighting. As a Family Physician, two examples of uninsured groups I see frequently are young people working part time or low paying jobs without benefits and older adults retiring before age 65 who lose their employee sponsored benefits.

How many people took the COVID vaccine and are 100% fine? Not sure why these anti-vax lunatics think they somehow were right? I was supposed to be dead by now. Wrong as always.

When your neighbors are homophobic, go full Clark Gaywold on them.

Because I still hear the odd mention of “natural immunity” when it comes to COVID. This is brilliant (& for the record practise safe sex!): https://t.co/ZzXy3LagMu

[Dr. Lisa Iannattone @lisa_iannattone]

Not catching a common virus for a year or 2, or 5, does not make you respond to it like an immunosuppressed person the next time you catch it. Avoiding pathogens doesn’t damage your immune system.

I remember my land line phone number from elementary school precisely but I don't even know the first number in my best friend's cell number today.

I don't get the GST credit.

My household makes too much to qualify for the Canada Child Benefit.

I've never used EI.

I can afford more than $10-a-day for child care.

But I support @JustinTrudeau & all these government programs because I'm not an asshole.

When we talk about “rage farming”, this is what we mean: deliberately misinterpreting something then demanding everyone be angry about it. It’s not good for discourse, democracy or Canada.

YOU DO YOU IS NOT PUBLIC HEALTH

[Plague Poems @PlaguePoems]

Do not say
that wearing a mask is
the least people can do
for in truth
the least people can do
is nothing at all
which incidentally
is what most people are doing.

[Mel D @81mkd]

Shipping was super fast for us & the kids are ready for in class learning! I know that they will most likely be the only ones wearing them just like last year, but not one of the 3 got sick last school year. That includes colds or flu. 10/10 would recommend. #BackToSchool

[🇨🇦 Merlin 🇨🇦 @MerlinofCanada]

Get your kids quality masks #Covid is not finished with us. I have used @masks4allCanada for over 2 years they are the best & made in Canada.
Virtually all children infected with COVID-19 show signs of blood vessel damage, study shows

[Dr. Mild Yet Still Mysterious @sammy4723]

A reminder:
* COVID is airborne.
* Herd immunity did not happen.
* Omicron was not mild.
* Kids do get sick.
* Transmission does occur in schools.
* Each variant is not milder.
* No wave has been an exit wave.

Minimizers have been wrong about every single one of those things..🦠

[Kimberly Prather, Ph.D. @kprather88]

Saying you are no longer wearing a mask because "everyone is going to catch COVID" is another way of saying you have not thought about all of the people who will be harmed by catching COVID. If we work together, we can beat this virus. If we battle each other, the virus will win.

Covid Epidemiology
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Did my homework! I went back into the CDC archives to plot death rates (and rate changes) in the US all the way to 1900. As you can clearly see, COVID-19 is an epic pandemic leading to absolutely gobsmacking changes in excess mortality.

[Frank Graves @VoiceOfFranky]

When did one third of our society think that anti vax , anti climate change , anti science, anti diversity was the shining path to the future? For the rational,humane majority this is a critical question.

[The Daily Show @TheDailyShow]

Tough break for their viewers hoping to hear their names mentioned on TV

[Rick Byers @RickByersLab]

Prediction: 5 years from now when the impact is undeniably obvious, everyone will complain: why didn't healthcare experts warn us of the risks of long COVID and explain how a simple N95 could massively reduce our risk without lockdowns?
