“The growing wave of antisemitism in Canada is a myth. B’nai Brith Canada, a pro-Israel lobby group, has invented “a national crisis” of antisemitism by defining opposition to Zionism and criticism of Israel’s conduct as Judeophobia. The organization, along with other pro-Israel partisans, are pressing Canadian governments at the federal, provincial, and municipal levels to implement legal measures to criminalize pro-Palestinian, pro-democracy and anti-Zionist, anti-colonial political positions.”

I keep seeing people saying "I don't believe the data that says there's not much Covid around, there are loads of stories of people catching it at the moment".

Yes, but you're not seeing *as many* stories of people catching it at the moment.
Yes, it's around. Low Covid does not mean No Covid.

But here in the UK *every single possible metric* is indicating that there are historically low levels. We're still doing 20k PCR tests in England each week as a base level, plus more when there are more cases. Scotland has wastewater.

Tests, cases, admissions, deaths, wastewater, positivity are all tracking at the same rates - and it's very hard to manipulate one without manipulating all of them, and there's no need to, because 99% of the population don't care what the levels are.

I buy and hand out tests to people in our local community myself. The positives on those tests track quite closely to national numbers.

Some people are then arguing that it means that tests aren't picking up cases.

Well, that doesn't make sense either, because we've just had a wave that hit kids here, and the tests picked those up fine.

The final thing is:
What does low mean?

'Low' in terms of Covid doesn't mean *none*.

There are more Covid cases confirmed at the moment each week than Measles cases... but Measles cases are 'High'.

Covid cases are *low for Covid*.
Low Covid does not mean No Covid.

It just means that it's not overwhelming healthcare right now.

Low Covid does not mean that I'm stopping masking, or stopping any other mitigations that I've had in place for six years. It just means that there's not as much around as at other times.
Which would be a particularly daft time to catch it.

"Expressing profound concern" while continuing to export weapons, provide political cover, send funds, allow Israeli war criminals free reign in Canada and keep up favourable trade status for Israeli goods and services even from the occupied territories.

Strongly worded statements aren’t enough. Canadian were beaten, deprived of essentials, subjected to appalling conditions by Israeli officials—yet Canada refuses to ramp up real, meaningful diplomatic pressure. Ottawa must demand true accountability

We could invest $3B into EIP (Engineered Infection Prevention), free up thousands of hospital beds & save billions of dollars every year

Oh yeah, & save hundreds of thousands of infections & thousands of preventable deaths

EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR.

Make Hospitals Safe Again

Hey so 68 percent of Canadians don't want this.
73 percent of rural Canadians.

Why don't our opinions matter?

It’s bad enough that this motion was defeated. The fact that it was defeated by a wide margin highlights the degeneracy of Canada’s political elite. They have no moral authority to criticize the human rights abuses of anyone.

@yuenpauwoo is an honourable exception.

[Sony Thăng @nxt888]

"Never forget," they say.

But they choose what you remember.

Never forget Tiananmen.

Never forget 9/11.

Never forget the Holocaust.

But somehow, you are allowed to forget Fallujah.

You are allowed to forget Mỹ Lai.

You are allowed to forget Sabra and Shatila.

You are encouraged to forget Gaza while it is still happening.

This is not a culture of remembrance.

It is a culture of selective memory.

Capitalism built a system where doing the right thing is treated like bad business. We can’t have sustainable energy because it threatens the oil industry. We can’t have healthcare because it threatens insurance. We can’t have peace because it threatens the weapons industry.

We are saying no to a data centre in Île-des-Chênes because there are big threats to the environment and not much benefit to the economy.

Our message to any tech company out there… if you want to build technology with a thoughtful, human-centred approach that puts humanity first, then Manitoba is open for business. 🦬

[Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East @CJPME]

Thank you @yuenpauwoo for moving this urgent motion, and to the 11 other principled Senators who voted for it. Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and Canada is obliged to ensure that it is doing everything it can to prevent and punish this crime. Unfortunately, it appears that most lawmakers don't want to know how Canadian policy may be contributing to Israel's atrocities against Palestinians.

There are plenty of world-class L0ngC0vid experts far smarter than I am.

But I bring something they don’t: I’m a CV surgeon and endovascular specialist. I’ve had hearts, lungs, arteries, and other organs literally in my hands. I’ve seen their insides, healthy and ravaged, with my own eyes.

That gives me one brutal, irreplaceable edge: I can take the science and translate it straight into the living, bleeding reality of human anatomy.

And what I see coming is ugly.

You, personally and as a society, are in for one hell of a shock.

Read this 🧵👇

If you keep minimising SARSCoV2, refuse to protect yourselves, and keep swallowing the lies of pseudo-experts chasing money or psychiatrists salivating over a fresh FND goldmine… you’re walking straight into disaster.

Tell every last one of them to https://t.co/rw58iRjUf4 off!

Then follow the hard, unfolding science.👇

Your organs don’t care about opinions. They only care about damage. And the damage is already stacking up, be it momentarily maybe still clinically "silent"! #AvoidSars2 #AvoidReinfections

1/ Long COVID is one of the most complex post-infectious syndromes ever studied.

A new review in Nature Communications Medicine attempts to unify the biology.

Here’s what’s established, what’s emerging, and what’s still speculative. 🧵
