@TotallyCanc3l3d Your experience recounts anecdotes from individuals. Anecdotal data is insufficient to draw scientific conclusions from, yet this error is common. Best to rely upon the many credible studies that show the consequences of a C19 infection is much worse than the harm from vaccines.

Another study conducted in Covid wards at Addenbrooke’s hospital in Cambridge showed that air filter machines removed almost ALL traces of airborne Covid virus.

Why are we not doing this in all schools? Surely it’s a no-brainer! 🤔

@RosieBarton Prosecutorial independence is a cornerstone of the rule of law and by extension, democracy. Why is it that these "freedom" loving right-wing populist conservatives so readily trample on the norms, laws, and institutions of democracy to pander to their base constituents?

@CarrieTait Oh for effs sake. Danielle Smith is foisting Preston Manning on Albertans to gaslight us on Covid, about which his knowledge is highly suspect - but his politics are a certainty. Yet another reason Rachel gets my vote.

@Mark_C_Collins @BogochIsaac And that’s the thing. It’s easy

1. Masks work
2. Your mask protects you
3. Your mask protects me

That’s it. Easy-peasy

I just heard that eggs are almost $12/dozen in NYC. Must be Trudeau’s fault.

@mogrant61 @duncandee Nice chart. But, a serious chronic illness in Australia without private insurance = limited access to the best facilities and best specialists. Some specialists charge above the insured rate. Pre- existing conditions not insured. Those are serious deficiencies.

Kaycee Madu misrepresents this development as UCP work, while actually having no role in it whatsoever. More lies from our illustrious government.

[Hon. Thomas A. Lukaszuk @LukaszukAB]

.@KayceeMaduYEG Do you know why Government of Alberta isn’t mentioned in this article? It’s because it had nothing to do with this positive development.

The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta is independent, self-governing and sets its own licensing rules

Why we should run away from US style private healthcare:

[David Fisman @DFisman]

By the way: I suspect covering stuff through Ohip initially is basically a loss leader, like giving away free samples of a new candy bar. Once private for-profit care is normalized we’ll look increasingly like the US over time.

[FlyingShotLake @Ken_Meen]

@DFisman I’ve spoken to Canadian physicians with US fellowship training who have commented on the frequent performance of unnecessary surgical procedures in situations where medical management would have been preferable and less risky.

[FlyingShotLake @Ken_Meen]

@mogrant61 @duncandee What you’re missing is that to most Canadians the most salient aspect of private healthcare is what they see in the USA. Don’t expect them to focus on potentially more meritorious public-private systems and assume they’re any better. Many (eg Australia) aren’t.

[FlyingShotLake @Ken_Meen]

@mogrant61 @duncandee That’s because we’re close neighbours and can see the enormous deficiencies in US healthcare, which costs much more and results in reduced life spans. Who in their right mind would want that?

@AdrianaLaGrange Oops, split infinitive, I meant Dollars spent per student

[FlyingShotLake @Ken_Meen]

@AdrianaLaGrange Unless you ignore the total budget and properly compare dollars per student spent. Then your parsimony becomes evident.

@andrew_leach Notley’s argument seems not so much against emissions targets and job retraining, but that both of those should be established through a consultative process with the province, and pointing out that the conduct of Danielle Smith/UCP has been a barrier to such a process.

[MichaelHurleyCUPE @HurleyOCHUCUPE]

College of physicians & surgeons, which has oversight of private clinics: “We shared that this wasn’t the solution to the health-care crisis & would further tax health human resources shortages & further increase wait times for more urgent hospital-based care.” Advice ignored.

@1loriking Wow, Bill bears a grudge.
