After 8 billion doses (yes 8 BILLION, not a typo) Covid vaccines are at this point one of the most tested medical interventions in history and one of the safest ever
BREAKING: There are 5 #ICE stations Canada!! Whaat? Ottawa, Calgary, Montreal, Vancouver and Toronto.
If @MarkJCarney doesn't close them down - our Mayors should do something
@unicornsftw@FullLaneFemme People usually don't mind hand-washing. We've been taught since childhood to wash our hands to get rid of yucky germs. So we have internalized it. But many
seem to have a lot of trouble taking on board this new information about airborne virus prevention via N95 mask.
@DisabledDoctor@MoKatSage66 I totally get these accidental voice messages but this one is really a doozie. So sorry you are dealing with this. My mum is 89 and regularly sends accidental voice recordings to our family WhatsApp chat by not realizing she is pressing down on the record button.
Somewhere along the way, being wrong about facts was reclassified as "having an opinion," and knowing facts was stigmatized as "having bias." It's a big part of why we're in hell now.
So if EVERY YEAR
Covid wave Sept/start term,
then Flu wave Nov after Oct half term through Xmas,
then another Covid wave Xmas/NYear into March perpetuated by Xmas, back to school in Jan and
NHS in critical state from Dec- Feb,
Why so unprepared to prevent EVERY YEAR💉💨😷⁉️
It is wild that hospitals "expect a rise in respiratory illness" in fall and winter and do precisely nothing to mitigate it.
If it's so predictable*, you should know exactly when masking season should begin.
*SARS-CoV-2 is not a seasonal virus
Never forget the reason you’re told to stay away from other people for five days after a COVID infection is because five days felt acceptable to the CEO of Delta airlines.
Five days is not based on any scientific evidence whatsoever

What if the pandemic never ended?
What if they only made us believe it did so we would send our children back to school and return to work?
What if they purposely stopped testing for it so we couldn’t track its prevalence?
What if they purposely called it a cold to downplay its severity, but when the sniffles went away, it left behind brain, blood vessel, and organ damage, or destroyed our immune system?
What if all the forgetfulness, people collapsing in public, the rise in young adults having heart attacks, strokes, and cancer, and all these random sicknesses and mystery illnesses are a result of all that damage?
What if we all opened our eyes and looked at what was really going on around us instead of believing what people tell us is happening?
What if.
@1goodtern And thank you to you, Tern, for all the great information you provide! 😀😀
Adding this nice pic I recently took at my family's summer cottage to give everyone nice thoughts of fresh air.
I've been in three hospitals this week - all have had CO₂ under 600ppm.
I know two have had new air systems in the last two years.
It should be the standard everywhere.
Covid weakens your immune system. Which means you’ll be more susceptible to other illnesses.
Covid weakens your vascular system. Which means you’ll be more susceptible to heart attacks & strokes.
Covid damages your brain. Which means you might struggle to understand the above.
@Feisty_Waters I stopped wearing a mask to Zumba class and the grocery store for a few weeks this summer, but have started again now with the back to school wave of <everything>. I work remotely but many of my colleagues at the physical office are sick with respiratory symptoms. Sigh.
@1goodtern I feel the only way we’ll ever succeed with implementing clean air infrastructure (and that’s still a long ways away) is by hammering in the “kids/teachers/doctors attendance would be better if they weren’t sick all the time” aspect
IE catering to the capitalist complex 🫠
