Peace ✌️ and Love 💕 no hatred!

[Debi Power 🇨🇦♿️😷 @Deb_A_Power]

Hot damn! That’s why I love this man, why he’d get my vote if I was in his area or he ran for PM federally. He’s putting peoples’ well-being first not corporate greed. He said that! 👏🏿

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.

Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬

[Debi Power 🇨🇦♿️😷 @Deb_A_Power]

He would make a marvellous Prime Minister after PM Carney retires. I would rush to give Wab Kinew my vote, because he gets it. And to me it seems right someone of Indigenous descent run this beautiful country. So much of how First Nations people lived could fix much our mess.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

We stand on guard for thee 🇨🇦

Please put aerosol scientists and engineers back in charge of public health.

We built infectious disease policy around outdated droplet assumptions while ignoring aerosol physics, ventilation, and indoor air quality.

If your infectious disease training still treats airborne transmission like a rare exception instead of a central mechanism, your curriculum is obsolete.

Public health accreditation bodies should immediately reevaluate training standards for airborne disease prevention, ventilation, filtration, respirators, and aerosol science.

Droplet dogma has already cost enough lives.

👀 Yet more confirmation of what has been obvious for years.
📈 Covid infection raises risk of:
🚨 Shingles
🚨 Bell's palsy
🚨 Guillain Barré
🚨 Myasthenia Gravis

Neurological vulnerability lasts for at least 3 years.
Vaccination doesn't prevent it.
Neither does reinfection.

We are not post Covid. That’s why these last few years have been so awful.

That’s why there’s record sickness.

That’s why people are dying at younger ages.

That’s why you feel tired and crappy all the time.

Denial doesn’t work. Covid never went away.

[Keith @keetmuise]

"Correlation doesn't equal causation" usually applies, but the weird deaths, constant illness, explosion of other viruses, and the general lack of wellness globally, IS CAUSED BY COVID!
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DESTROY THE IMMUNE SYSTEMS OF BILLIONS OF PEOPLE!!!

[nira h. @nirahymanwrites]

I mask for the folks I lost to Covid before masking protocols. I mask because I still grieve for people who didn’t get a chance to mask. It’s respect. It’s protection. It’s both mourning and protest.

[Debi Power 🇨🇦♿️😷 @Deb_A_Power]

Why I still wear a mask in public buildings and outdoor crowds, as it’s not the initial illness that scares me, it’s the list like what’s in this post, which should scare more people into protecting themselves. I’d never forgive myself if I took this to my over 80 mom!

[Dr. Sean Mullen @drseanmullen]

There are now more than half a million scientific publications related to COVID-19 and a rapidly growing body of evidence linking SARS-CoV-2 infection to immune dysregulation, microvascular injury, autonomic dysfunction, clotting abnormalities, viral persistence, and measurable cognitive changes.

And to the people constantly sick, exhausted, dizzy, forgetful, exercise intolerant, waking up to feeling like you got hit by a truck on the daily or suddenly developing strange inflammation, heart issues, GI problems, or “mystery” symptoms after repeated infections…

At some point you and society as a whole must confront the reality that repeated infection with a vascular and neurotropic virus was never as harmless as everyone wanted it to be.

I choose to live in reality.

That virus is still here. It is still spreading through the air. And it is still associated with long-term vascular, immune, and neurological consequences for many people.

Protecting yourself from that threat — through cleaner air, better ventilation, filtration, vaccination, and high-quality masks in high-risk settings — also reduces your risk from many of the other respiratory pathogens constantly circulating around us.

And if you are tired of watching people suffer while being told this is “normal,” then start demanding urgency.

Ask why Long Covid clinics are closing instead of expanding.
Ask why immunologists, virologists, neurologists, vascular scientists, and pathologists are not being funded at Manhattan Project scale to investigate viral persistence, immune dysfunction, clotting, mitochondrial damage, and cognitive impairment.
Ask why billions can appear overnight for almost anything else, but millions living with chronic illness are told to “pace themselves” and move on.

Support researchers (the ones who are still focused on Long Covid that don’t conflate the disease)
Support clean air initiatives (two strong efforts happening in Illinois right now! Help us!!).
Support disability advocacy.
Pressure institutions to improve indoor air quality.
Stop mocking people for protecting themselves.
And stop accepting “everyone is sick all the time now” as a normal feature of modern life.

[Debi Power 🇨🇦♿️😷 @Deb_A_Power]

I love how he deals with important issues. Race, religion, etc I don’t care which you are, I care that you’re free to be you. I call out racists, bullies, etc defending the target of the mean person.

[Wab Kinew @WabKinew]

I won’t repeat the racist comment.

What I will repeat is encouragement for young people to call out hatred and move beyond negativity.

Unity is stronger than division.

We are One Manitoba, One Canada, and one human race.

Science!

[Óscar A. Contreras @oscarcontrarius]

Fellow journalists, here's something you may not know: 6 years later, the pandemic has still not been declared over by the WHO.

Probably worth remembering when you read/type the inaccurate phrase "during COVID" or "post-pandemic" throughout the day today and in future stories.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

Adults forced a young girl named “Cara” to remove her mask for their comfort.

Cara’s mother had cancer and was immune compromised.

Cara caught covid, gave it to her mom and her mom died.

Imagine doing that to a child because you don’t want to see a mask?

It’s appalling.

[Debi Power 🇨🇦♿️😷 @Deb_A_Power]

Another set of reasons to keep my mask where it’s been since March 2020 - on my face, well-fitted N95. Yet so many of you are all okay with this? Please make it make sense!🇨🇦

[Hannah Davis @ahandvanish]

3 years after infection, women who had COVID have higher risk of pre-cancerous & invasive HPV-related cancers.

Invasive cancer risk increased by 67% for cervical, 131% for vaginal, 98% for vulvar, 92% for anal, & 78% for oropharyngeal cancer.

[Roy Doorenspleet @DoorenspleetR]

A kid wearing a mask is not harming anyone.
It doesn’t disrupt others.
It doesn’t endanger anyone.
It’s a personal protective choice.
So forcing a kid to remove it is usually about adult comfort, not the kid’s safety.

Why this feels unfair
Because it is unfair.

[Debi Power 🇨🇦♿️😷 @Deb_A_Power]

American troops stand to die over this mess t-Rump made. He created this mess now expects the rest of the world to bail him out. They pretty much all said F U Donnie, go back to Epstein Island with your sycophants.🇨🇦🙏🏿for US troops in Middle East and the straits.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Trump spent months calling NATO obsolete.

Threatening Canada with the 51st state. Slapping tariffs on allies.

Demanding Europe pay up or lose protection.

Insulting world leaders to their faces.

Abandoning Ukraine.

Calling Germany weak and France irrelevant.

Now he needs them.

France: no.

Germany: no.

Norway: no.

Canada: never.

Japan: officially no.

Switzerland: airspace closed.

You don’t spend a year burning every bridge and then call for backup when the building is on fire.

$21 billion spent. 14 Americans dead. Oil at $102. The Strait mined. Taiwan surrounded. Baghdad evacuated. NATO threatened with a “very bad future.”

The allies didn’t abandon America.
America spent a year telling them to leave.

They listened.

Never stop connecting the dots.
