I don't know who needs to hear this, but a "mild covid infection" that results in chronic, lifelong disability is not—and will never be—a mild covid infection.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

The past few yrs has revealed how little the majority of the online left actually cares about the values they claim to espouse. They have zero solidarity. They won't fight mask bans, they won't fight surveillance laws, they won't fight censorship. They only care what's trending

This pipeline isn’t nation building.

It’s nation burning.

Please consider donating to this GoFundMe, to fund a legal review of David Eby's BCNDP changes to Disability funding for kids in #BCPoli.

While at first these changes most heavily negatively impact Autistic kids, other Disabled kids are facing cuts, too.

@IsMyHawkOut @Super1610 @FWC26Vancouver Lol, it's funny how the tough guys always post without using their real names

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

No Fun City is alive and well. Pathetic.

There should be public outraged at these repeated ER closures & maternity diversions in BC
This was predictable & largely avoidable.
Managing healthcare in 4 year cycles, no matter the party in power, does not work.
Kicking the can down the road eventually gets you here.

This is brutal.

Hallway medicine has become such a fixture in BC, one hospital is now experimenting with providing ear plugs and eye masks to help patients sleep.

Not surprisingly, it is helping patients stuck in hallways get about 50% more sleep.

@Brick_Suit @DJSnM Imagine fearing a bit of fabric touching your skin. Do you also oppose seatbelts? Scuba gear? Jock straps lol

[Conor Browne @brownecfm]

1. Remember that any attempt to paint Long Covid as psychogenic in nature deliberately and completely incorrectly biologically decouples SARS-CoV-2 infection from Long Covid. In essence, this rhetoric shifts the causative factor for LC from the virus to the patient's mind.

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

@markroseman Agreed. It's brutal here.

[Jaclyn "Cool Gamer Mom™️" Ferreira - 😷 (she/her) @jaclynmacrae]

Dear @jbtwickens @Dave_Eby @bcndp:

The Disability Supplement cannot be both:

-a replacement for lost stable funding

AND ALSO

-a cost-of-living bump

for the kids arbitrarily considered by your gov’t to no longer be disabled enough.

Those are diametrically opposed.

I find it a bit jarring that none of the media reports mentioned the fact that BC's health officer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, is a founding owner of a BC winery and has a lifelong passion for wine. Henry directly profits from sale of what she calls "a leading cause of preventable death."

[Times Colonist @timescolonist]

People in B.C. drink more alcohol than national average: report https://t.co/vyxAnVO7g9

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

@canuckbcinbc I didn't know this detail (or had forgotten), but you're right! Perry Kendall also tried to exploit a public health issue for financial gain. Bonnie Henry, however, is doing it while still at her government post!

[Bean & Sprout's Mom @beansprouts_mom]

COVID-19 ➡️ "...significantly increased hazard ratios for all six allergic conditions...asthma and rhinoconjunctivitis were significantly associated with infection. In children, all conditions except food allergies were significantly associated with infection."

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

@ShabbyHoffman Because of course. Henry's conflict of interest on this has always been so obvious and egregious.

[Tom Jackman @frozen]

@ChristineGuent8 Quite. She even bragged about how often she met with the "beverage associations."
