I'm familiar enough with islam to know that if the circumstances don't allow for it, muslims can pray quietly in their hearts.

This is not mandated or necessary. It's simply intimidation of other passengers.

Alberta government COVID-19 review calls for immediate halt to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, citing safety concerns

The Alberta government’s newly, albeit quietly, released COVID-19 response review has made waves with its bold recommendations, especially its call for an immediate halt to the use of the novel, modified RNA COVID-19 vaccines particularly for healthy children and teenagers. This critical report, commissioned by Premier Danielle Smith, uncovers alarming gaps in the data used to authorize these vaccines and raises serious concerns about their safety and efficacy.

The review was initiated in 2022 under the leadership of Dr. Gary Davidson, a clinical lead in emergency medicine in central Alberta. Dr. Davidson was tasked with evaluating the pandemic’s response, focusing on various aspects such as non-pharmaceutical interventions (masking and lockdowns), the accuracy of predictive modelling, and the role regulatory bodies played in the response. Experts like Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Dr. Byram Bridle, and Dr. David Speicher contributed to the investigation, each bringing their expertise to bear on a comprehensive assessment of pandemic policies.

Among the most striking findings of the report is the task force’s criticism of Health Canada’s decision-making process for the rushed to market novel modified RNA injections. The group points out that there were “significant gaps” in the data supporting the approval of the COVID-19 vaccines. In fact, Health Canada has failed to disclose whether a proper risk assessment was ever conducted to justify the widespread use of these vaccines in individuals under 18, particularly considering the lack of long-term clinical data.

One of the most disturbing aspects highlighted in the review is the data from Pfizer’s post-authorization trial. The report reveals that 1,223 deaths and 42,086 injuries were reported within just four days of vaccination. Notably, nearly half of these adverse events occurred in individuals aged 18-50—those at negligible risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes. This troubling information calls into question the overall safety profile of the vaccines, especially in young and healthy populations.

The report also discusses the known risks associated with the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) used to deliver the modified RNA and spike protein into cells. These synthetic fat molecules have a well-documented toxicity profile, and there are concerns about the long-term health impacts of repeated doses. Furthermore, the review raises alarms over the increased risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, two heart conditions that can have lifelong and potentially fatal consequences, particularly for young individuals.

Another critical aspect addressed in the Alberta report is the rushed approval process for these vaccines under Emergency Use Authorization. The review underscores that while such a pathway is easier to navigate in times of crisis, it becomes incredibly challenging to reverse decisions once questions about safety arise. The task force also points out the difficulty of obtaining accurate data on vaccine safety and efficacy within Alberta’s publicly funded healthcare system, making it almost impossible to conduct independent analysis or verification of safety claims made.

The Alberta report draws attention to the discrepancies in the clinical trials, which were plagued by inadequate follow-up, missing data, and conflicts of interest. The interim findings of Pfizer’s clinical trial revealed that 21 deaths occurred in the vaccinated group compared to 17 in the placebo group, with an alarming 3.7-fold increase in cardiac events. Moreover, the report highlights issues with underreporting adverse events, noting that only 1-10% of adverse events were properly documented.

Even more concerning is the data on pregnant women, which reveals a devastating 87.5% fetal/neonatal mortality rate in the limited trials conducted. These findings, alongside the acknowledged risks of the lipid nanoparticle delivery system, underscore the need for a re-evaluation of the vaccines' safety profile.

Despite the mounting evidence, the public health narrative has largely ignored these critical concerns, dismissing them as misinformation. However, the Alberta review demands transparency, accountability, and a rigorous risk-benefit analysis moving forward. As the province calls for a halt to the use of these vaccines in healthy young individuals, the question remains: will these calls be heeded, or will the push for blanket vaccination recommendations continue unchecked?

The review emphasizes the need for a more cautious, evidence-based approach in future pandemic responses, prioritizing transparency and informed consent over knee-jerk policies.

Are eggs inflammatory? 

The short answer, for most people, is no. In fact, a review of 21 clinical studies concluded that eggs do not increase any marker of inflammation in our bodies.

Impressively, eggs may do the opposite: reduce inflammation.

But, some eggs are better than others and there are some exceptions to the rule. So let’s take a look at the best eggs to eat if you are concerned about inflammation.

Most people can freely enjoy eating eggs without any concern for inflammation. In fact, eggs can be anti-inflammatory, especially if you choose healthy pastured eggs.

Pastured eggs have less inflammatory fats known as omega-6 fats than conventional eggs.

Interestingly, eating an egg per day reduced inflammation in people with Type 2 diabetes compared to a breakfast of oatmeal cooked with lactose-free milk in one research study.

Egg consumption also decreases belly fat in people with diabetes according to this study: and belly fat is a major cause of harmful inflammation in the body.

Another small study found that eating two boiled eggs a day improved the gut microbiome and did not cause an increase in any inflammatory compounds, including TMAO. Having a more diverse gut microbiome and beneficial bacteria helps dampen inflammation in the body.

There is some concern that eggs can increase the risk of having fatty liver disease. However, research shows that if you adjust for other lifestyle factors such as diabetes or high blood pressure, any risk of eating eggs and liver issues disappears.

Are Eggs Anti-Inflammatory Then?
Egg yolks contain a lot of anti-inflammatory compounds in them, such as:

Vitamin E
Vitamin A
Vitamin D
Omega 3 fatty acids
Selenium
Iodine
Lutein
Zeaxanthin
Choline

Because of these antioxidants, eggs can help reduce inflammation in the body. In one research study of healthy men, eating an egg 4 times a week reduced inflammatory compounds in the body and even reduced LDL cholesterol levels over 4 weeks.

Eating eggs can increase antioxidant production in the body too. For example, glutathione, a strong antioxidant, may be increased in the body due to eating egg whites and egg yolks. The protein in eggs can increase a powerful antioxidant in the body called superoxide dismutase as well.

Surprisingly, eating two eggs per day resulted in an increase in healthy HDL cholesterol, or good cholesterol, by 10% in one clinical study.  All the while there was no increase in unhealthy LDL cholesterol or triglycerides either.

It is important to eat the yolk: this is where most of the antioxidants that help dampen inflammation are located. However, the proteins in the egg white are immuno-protective and can be anti-inflammatory too.

How to Cook Eggs to Reduce Inflammation

Eating cooked eggs has less potential to cause allergic reactions and cooked eggs are much more digestible than raw eggs.

But, the method that you use to cook your eggs can affect how healthy they are.

Cooking eggs at low temperatures helps to preserve the antioxidants in eggs. For this reason, you should try to boil or poach eggs when possible. You can also bake them for a short period to help preserve the anti-inflammatory compounds.

If you do fry eggs, it is best to serve them over easy and avoid cooking them with inflammatory oils.  Your best bet is to cook them in extra virgin olive oil, virgin coconut oil, or grass-finished butter which contains their own antioxidants to reduce inflammation. Also, you should fry them at lower temperatures to avoid oxidation.

How to Buy the Healthiest Eggs

The best eggs to purchase are pasture-raised eggs whenever possible. This means that chickens are raised on grass and natural food that help their eggs to be much richer in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds than those who are even “free range” or organically raised.

According to Certified Humane, pastured eggs contain:

2 times as many anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids
4 times as much vitamin E
3 times as much vitamin D
7 times as much beta carotene as conventionally raised eggs

For clarification, here are the most common kinds of eggs you will find in the stores today and which are best.

Best Types of Eggs to Reduce Inflammation
Shopping for eggs can be confusing, to say the least.  Here are some of the terms you will see on labels and what they mean.

Conventionally raised eggs are typically raised by caged chickens with conventional feed which is often grains and soy. Usually, these eggs will not have any health claims on the label. Still, eating conventionally raised eggs is a better option than other inflammatory foods if this is your only option.

Free-range eggs: chickens have the option to go outside, but may never end up outside because they tend to stay near their feed. These can be dirty conditions and can be inflammatory feed that the chickens receive.

Cage-free eggs mean that they don’t have a cage but can still be overcrowded and they still likely don’t go outside. It doesn’t tell you anything about what the chickens are fed.

Organic eggs are raised by free uncaged chickens that have access to the outdoors and are fed 100% organic feed.

Pastured eggs are free-roaming chickens that are outside and forage for food. Although there is no certification yet for this kind of egg, you will typically see pastured eggs labeled as Certified Humane. Not surprisingly, these eggs are the most nutritious and you will be able to see this by the richly-colored yolks.

Omega-3 eggs are chickens that are fed foods that enhance the omega-3 content of the eggs, but they may still reside in very unhealthy conditions.

When to Avoid Eggs

If you have an allergy or sensitivity to eggs, you should avoid eating them. Egg allergies are sadly on the rise as are all food allergies.

When a food allergy occurs the body creates an inflammatory response. So it is important to avoid eggs if you notice that you feel sick in any way after eating them. Egg inflammation symptoms in this case can include joint pain, and gastrointestinal issues such as gas, bloating, and nausea.

Inflammatory Foods to Avoid
As you can see, eating eggs is overall a very healthy food to eat for most people. But you should avoid eating them with other inflammatory foods to reap the most health benefits of eggs. Sadly, an inflammatory diet in the United States is the norm.

Diseases related to inflammation include heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, depression, joint pain, and gut issues of all kinds. By the way, eggs may decrease the risk of heart disease according to a very large observational study.

To reduce joint inflammation and chronic inflammation overall, you should limit or avoid processed or refined sugar, grains, and oils in foods like:

Bread
Bagels
Donuts
Pastries
Buns
Pasta
Tortillas
Fried foods of all kinds
Most crackers
Conventionally raised meats, including red meat and chicken
Candy
Desserts
Cookies
Condiments and dressings
Beverages
Most alcoholic drinks
Seed oils

You should also avoid foods with preservatives and additives. These contribute to inflammation and disease as well.

Age discrimination is on the rise. It is one of the most pervasive biases in the workplace; it can appear in many forms and go completely unnoticed. Employers can address this prevalent discrimination by adopting and encouraging the development of a multigenerational workforce.
