“The more it spreads within mammals, that gives it more chances to mutate. As it mutates, as it changes, there is a greater chance it can infect humans. If it gains the ability to spread efficiently from person to person, then it would be hard to stop,” says Nita Madhav, a former U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention researcher” #H5N1#Science#Scicomm https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/h5n1-bird-flu-isnt-a-human-pandemic-yet/
“"The result of this vote is a message to government and the Saskatchewan School Boards Association (SSBA) that teachers need to see real changes to classroom complexity and compensation. In feedback from members, we heard clearly that their priorities haven't been adequately addressed." #Saskatchewan#Education#Skpoli
@keithzg@dmacphee@CStamp@Daveography I love cats & had one who used to free roam - my first cat. I stopped doing that & spent a lot of time to leash train her - after seeing too many cats killed by cars, by digesting toxic plants, ingesting antifreeze or getting super sick after catching rodents that ingested rat poison. Some cat lovers I know built catios for safety. My cat gets lots of outdoors time but is safely supervised. He's not unhappy at all.
@keithzg@dmacphee@CStamp@Daveography We also now know, from scientists that several deathly to animals(and humans) viruses from rodents & birds can be passed to cats who catch diseased prey. Our cats depend on us to feed them/keep them safe. We're guardians & should really make best decisions for any animals we are taking care of. Safety is part of responsible, furever guardianship. Our human convenience shouldn't be top priority - wellness & safety of animals who depend on us, supercedes.
“Ectogenesis raises a slew of scientific, medical and technical questions, but frankly these pale in comparison with the social, moral, ethical and political challenges the process poses, particularly if it is used by the state to raise population levels without the participation of mothers in baby birthing or parents in child rearing.” #Canada#ArtificialWomb#Reproduction#cdnpoli#Science#Ethics
“Cases of infant syphilis have been soaring recently in the United States. Earlier this month, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) urged syphilis screening for all pregnant women.”
Alberta’s Secret Pandemic Study Is Led by COVID Restrictions’ Critic
“this is a more serious effort to gin up research supporting conclusions the government has already reached, since the report is clearly intended to appear to be a legitimate study. Then again, this kind of thing happens all the time with research by economic “think tanks,” so really all that’s new is it’s being extended to medical research. “ #Canada#Cdnpoli#COVID19#Alberta#FactsMatter
