When a UK hospital upgraded staff masks from fluid resistant [baggy blue] surgical masks to airtight respirators on wards, staff infections fell a dramatic 100%. That's not a typo.

Do not expose your child to measles.
Get your child vaccinated. The MMR vaccine is safe and effective."

A reminder that Premier Ford is offering family doctors a 0% increase at a time when there's a dire shortage & family doctors are fleeing in droves.
The Ford govt says they're "trying to get more family doctors" but the fact that the $38 per patient visit hasnโ€™t increased in more than 5 years proves they really aren't.
Also ๐Ÿ’ฅโ€‹ 's pharmacist reimbursements for those bogus phone "medication checks" are DOUBLE what a family doctor get paid per in person visit.

โ€œ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐ŸConservatives are consciously adopting the technique used by fascists for generations. In Steve Bannonโ€™s phrase, โ€˜flood the zoneโ€™ with negativity and wild allegations, day after day, week after week, year after year.
The aim is to exhaust good people and induce them to give up on politics altogether, to retreat into their private lives, to stop knocking on doors, to stay home instead of getting out to vote.โ€

Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, up to 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected. The virus can live for up to two hours in an airspace where the infected person coughed or sneezed.

Remember:

  • is the leading cause of death by infection
  • Covid is a blood vessel disease, not flu
  • Covid causes new onset autoimmune disease
  • Covid isn't seasonal
  • Long covid can come months after covid
  • Covid is airborne

None of this is front page news. And today, Health Officials admit they are still "grappling" on "how to message". After 3 years.

Pierre and Canadaโ€™s conservative premiers are peddling nonsense to people who want all the privilege and none of the responsibilities.

๐Ÿ‘€โ€‹ Canada's premier political cartoonist Michael deAdder is pushing back..

"I'm sick of these tactics. I see journalists [& cartoonists] bullied by the right. Conservatives are bullying their way into power."

"When I draw a cartoon you don't realize that I've drawn almost the same number of Liberal cartoons. I've probably drawn more Liberal than Conservative because they are in power. You just see the Conservative cartoons and cry unfair."

gemelliz,

Looks like Canadian cartoonist Michael deAdder cut too close to the bone for American conservatives as well. He has been let go from the Washington Post.

gemelliz,

@Travler Thank you!
DeAdder has requested that his WP cartoons be widely circulated. So here we go..

New polling finds only 67 per cent of Canadian parents say they would vaccinate their child "without reservation," down from 88% five years ago.

"We don't believe vaccines work"

Unfortunately, medical advancement has created this false sense of security in younger adults that all childhood illnesses are mild or treatable.
