Our paper was just published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal.

People with cannabis-induced psychosis are at a 241.6-fold higher risk of developing schizophrenia.

Cannabis from the 2000s is not the same as today.

Chemist here. We’ve been through this. Every thing is made of chemicals.

[Alberta Medical Association (AMA) @Albertadoctors]

Alberta's Measles cases now outnumber the United States' entire case count. This is a milestone we did not need to reach. Immediate action must be taken to reduce spread and ensure immunization and information is accessible to all Albertans.

Vaccines "are one of the best tools we have to protect children's health," says AAP President Susan Kressly. Watch the full conversation to hear why progress in vaccine policy is at risk and how the AAP is taking action.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is proud to stand with leading public health organizations by taking legal action to protect the integrity of our immunization system to defend science, evidence-based medicine, and the policies that keep children safe. https://t.co/bmaQ4Z6N6O

RT @CaulfieldTim: Dear Media,

STOP calling RFK Jr a vaccine "skeptic".

He is an antivaxx liar. An anti-science fearmonger. An exploitive…

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Kids will die because RFK Jr hates vaccines

A cruel, ignorant, nasty fanatic.

[Timothy Caulfield @CaulfieldTim]

Just horrible. Sickening. Evil.

This decision will kill children.

We all knew RFK Jr was the worst person for this job. He's lived up to the hype. The f*cking worst.

RFK Jr is evil. So many lies. So, so, so many lies. He must KNOW this is all BS. Thx @jakescottMD.🙏

We must keep correcting this bunk.

We can't let the darkness win.

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

More than 98% of families in this country choose to vaccinate their young children. But now, vaccine policy is being shaped by the small, extreme minority that doesn’t. This decision doesn’t reflect, protect or support families.

[The Breakdown @TheBreakdownAB]

A brutally honest and heartbreaking answer from former Alberta CMOH Dr Mark Joffe when asked on measles…

“If the govt of Alberta actually wanted your opinion, what would you tell them to do today?”

This is probably one of the best speeches i have heard since the whole debacle with the US and Europe started.
It is by Claude Malhuret a French physician and politician who has been a member of the French Senate since 2014.

Personally the end of the speech sums up my views.
"Our parents defeated fascism and communism at the cost of great sacrifice. The task of our generation is to defeat totalitarianism of the 21st century."

To my European friends this is a manifesto for the future of Europe, our actions will guarantee a future for our children.
Failure to unite and act will bring the collapse of the European democratic states one by one and a very dark future for all.

To my US friends, USA is STILL one of the greatest cradles of democracy that have ever existed, BUT what is happening now is a mistake, a mistake we will ALL soon pay.

@SundaeDivine “Washington has become the court of Nero: an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a buffon on ketamine tasked with purging the civil service. This is a tragedy for the free world, but above all, it is a tragedy for the United States.”

[Jon Meddings @JMeddings]

What a great letter!

And take a look at the names at the end. These are some of Alberta's best scientists and put to shame the names at the end of the original report.

This is not about cancelling a report. It is about correcting a grievous harm. That report lied.

[American Academy of Pediatrics @AmerAcadPeds]

AAP joined @AAFP, @ACOG, @ACPIMPhysicians, @AOAforDOs and @APApsychiatric in urging the U.S. government to remain in the World Health Organization. Read the statement: https://t.co/L3EU9eRG4d

"In another era, the sheer volume of Kennedy’s bizarre and misleading statements might have disqualified him from running the local wellness spa, let alone the world’s largest health apparatus."

"When it comes to reducing human suffering, the scientific method may be the most important idea in history. We could soon be forced to test whether scientific institutions can function with a leader who rejects it."

Excellent piece. Sum: dark days ahead.

[Timothy Caulfield @CaulfieldTim]

Is vaccine misinformation deadly? Yep.

"...none of those infected had been immunized against measles..."

[Timothy Caulfield @CaulfieldTim]

I've been researching & writing about public health policy for decades.

Reality: MAHA did not invent concern for more exercise, better diets, obesity, etc. On the contrary... WTF?

It is surreal to see politicians who regularly fight AGAINST sensible & science-informed public health policies – access to affordable healthcare, better built environments, vaccines, reproductive health, public health education, etc – frame themselves as champions of health.

Seed oil ain't the issue. We can't let lies win. 💪

[Cat in the Hat 🐈‍⬛ 🎩 🇬🇧 @_CatintheHat]

This short skit from Canadian comedy show @22_Minutes absolutely hits the nail on the head.

Presenteeism is the new norm.

“Covid? What is this, 2020? The pandy’s done. It’s not Covid. I’m not going to test because then it’s a whole thing…”
