A 2024 study found "the more a jurisdiction voted Republican, 'the more likely their vaccine recipients or their clinicians are to report COVID vaccine adverse events.'"

Sum: > Republican politics = > vaccine adverse events.

My take...👇

Combatting the measles threat means examining the reasons for declining vaccination rates theconversation.com/combatting-t...

We should "come together to fight the scourge of infectious diseases, including measles. The best way to do this is vaccination."

Putting the Arctic Ocean closer to the center, this brings the Greenland Canada gambit into focus. It is a grab for power, money, water, and resources, also giving the US complete control over the Northwest Passage. Fentanyl and the border are a smokescreen for a much bigger project: theft.

Only 6.6% of countries are full democracies. Canada is one of them.

That's something to be proud of. Something worth fighting for.

*Data comes from a division of The Economist. The report is interesting reading if you're worried about the state of modern politics.

Thank you, Canada, for standing with Ukraine 🇺🇦

RFK Jr. wants evidence that vaccines do not cause autism.

The evidence is there. He refuses to see it.

"Public health is a science, grounded in rigorous data analysis and a population-based perspective. It cannot be improvised. Decisions affecting millions of lives demand expertise, not anecdotal reasoning or personal biases."

An excellent well written and researched articles about seven diseases preventable by vaccines.

Part of Dark Age 2.0 is the bizarro embrace of a twisted (read: wrong) history of COVID. Alas, many believe.

COVID was unprecedented. YES, we need to study & learn & improve. Benefits / harms of intervensions further explored. But let's not twist history to support ideological agendas.

How worried should you be about bird flu, lyme disease, rabies?

We asked the BC Centre for Disease Control about staying safe from zoonotic diseases. 🦇🦟🐓

There was a day when requesting information from the gov't was free. Now you have to pay $10 not just to request gov't information, but $10 for every single ministry you think might have the info. So what used to be a single request can now require a $50 request fee. Thanks!

For BC folk who are interested in FOIing why their own FOI requests weren't deemed to be in the public interest, this FOI reveals the process analysts use to determine public interest (and thus could be worth FOIing)
