My ancestors were almost wiped out by colonizers and their smallpox so you'll have to excuse me if I don't consider you a leftist if you refuse to mask. I'm not letting this generation of colonizers kill me because they don't understand basic science.

A post from @joadsprocket.bsky.social that reads "I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous." The post is quoting a blocked post by @chantzy.bsky.social which reads "Dear liberals, if you identify as a leftist who believes in intersectional justice & fighting fascism, please wear a mask in public. It's one small act of solidarity with millions living with long Covid - and a reminder that caring for others includes protecting their health"

The second post by @joadsprocket.bsky.social reads "Also a fine example of 'anyone not doing what I want them to is a Liberal."

The third post by @joadsprocket.bsky.social is a screenshot of the original chantzy.bsky.social post with the caption "ope"

The only encouraging studies are potentially sterilizing nasal vaccines. But that is so far away in time.

Do you know how Covid is spread in the environment? If you did, you would come to the conclusions it's a rational assessment, along with air purifiers, ventilation and other layers of protection. I expect clean air, just like I expect clean water out of my water tap.

No, it's not. This is how we could eradicate C19. Flu variants were eradicated in 2020 because people around the world wore masks and when they were sick, isolated. A little mask on you face in public places unreasonable? Why? Preventing the spread of a disease which can kill people is unreasonable?

What did the cardiologist say when you called them? I know here in Quebec, the cardio follows up automatically every year on a person's heart's issues, once they are stable. They call, out of the blue, to set up an appointment, but before that, they follow the evolution when we are on a new med.

Last time I got a cold, it turned into bronchitis which almost became pneumonia. It was caught just in time and was given meds preventively to fight the pneumonia. I was 53 at the time, of working age. I've not caught anything in 10 years. N95 protect better than vaccines. Another omission by Ball.

Have you had covid lately?

You should try to find the cause before putting supplements in your body.

Fatigue can be caused by depression, meds, lack of B12 and other reasons like long Covid. Go see a dr, get a blood panel and take action based on dr's recommendations. Not social media's.

Il n’y a pas de hijab à la Mission de l’Esprit-Saint, une secte ultra-catholique.

Ça fait des décennies qu’on y marie et qu’on y sous-scolarise des adolescentes, mais ça ne semble pas trop énerver notre gouvernement.

C’est drôle, hein?

Caroline Quach, la nouvelle directrice de la santé publique a toujours dit que la Covid n'était pas dangereuse pour les enfants.
La santé publique doit absolument être indépendante de la politique pour être efficace au Québec. Ce n'est pas le cas avec leurs énormités dangereuses propagées au public

Covid-19 Bereaved Families For Justice UK @cbffjuk.bsky.social · 5d

Claire Dorer OBE, giving evidence at the @covidinquiryuk, said she was told children wouldn’t get Long Covid and would bounce back without serious problems.

"There was no persuasive evidence for those claims, and experience has shown they were wrong."

Les contrepouvoirs, c’est quoi ça?

Tout ça pourrait être décidé par un parti qui contrôle l’Assemblée nationale après avoir reçu 41 % des voix.

Et qui ne recueille aujourd’hui que 15 % d’appuis.

Ça commence toujours par les droits des autres. Et puis, un jour, ce sont les vôtres.

In the USA, people who go to conventions, have money to buy a N95. Pressuring organizers of these conventions costs nothing but an email.
However, minimizing the usefulness of masks is still killing people. Not buying your recession BS in a convention setting.

People should mask, regardless of vaccination status.

#abpoli Danielle & her MAGA UCP have $14mill for pipeline dreams, but following the Project 2025 Agenda to destroy public health care, are charging for covid vaccines. Those affected may want to check into the AHS Financial Hardship Fee Waiver Application.

Il y a aussi le pic du temps du congé de Noël et la vaccination au mois d'octobre est également adéquate. Idéalement, il faudrait faire vacciner les étudiants, jeunes enfants et personnel au mois d'août et les autres personnes au mois d'octobre. La vague en décembre et janvier est + grosse.

Une autre histoire de travailleuses temporaires.

Celles-là sont payées 22,55 $ l’heure pour donner des soins à domicile.

Apparemment, nos « valeurs » incluent l’expulsion inhumaine d’immigrantes intégrées qui font un job essentiel que personne d’autre ne veut faire.

400M$ de pertes de l'argent des contribuables.
C'était tellement prévisible, même les simples citoyens l'avaient vu venir.
J'ai tellement hâte au jour que le gouvernement va arrêter le BS corporatif et commencer à vraiment investir dans la santé et l'éducation des Québécois. .

Are you proud Danielle Smith? This is a direct consequence of your support for unvaccinated people and your silence on the #measles vaccine. There are more reported measles cases in Alberta than all of the USA.

This disease was once eradicated. You have blood on your hands. Resign, now!!

On a positive note, CBC's Ombudsman found a segment on a 2023 anti-LGBTQ+ rally did not violate CBC's journalistic standards

The review concluded that yes, you can interview trans people about the impact of discrimination against their community without giving equal airtime to "the other side"
