If she’s 20 now she was 15 in the fall of 2020 when Covid was already well underway. She taught herself all of this. What excuse does the minister of health have? Our education system? She was a child when Covid started. And she has mastery of these topics including solutions.
Incredible moving speech by 20 year old Violet Affleck at the UN today.
Violet listed the harms of infection, pleaded for people to do more to protect children from COVID infections and advocated for masks and for clean filtered indoor air for everyone.

It’s the brunch and gala and school breakfast world and we are just dying in it.
Our god damn kids should have clean air in schools and daycares by now. And imagine the amazing impact that would have on the healthcare system. Imagine we wouldn’t have to hear ER overcapacity every damn day.

being trans is a natural outcome of giving people autonomy. you have the power to be whatever gender is yours, and you have the right to change your body to suit that if you want. because that is what it means to care about freedom.

There is no conclusive evidence that taking Acetaminophen during pregnancy harms children, but there is very strong evidence that getting COVID does.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents.
It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually.
This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

In plain terms:
- The Guardian originally included paraphrased comments from someone who said they knew the suspect in high school. They claimed, citing an unnamed high school friend, that suspect Tyler Robinson was the lone “leftist” in a family of “very hard” Republicans.

First I heard about it was when welders came home saying ‘there’s people painting white crosses on black people’s doors on our street’.

The incomparable Lenny Jason is working to develop consensus on a research definition and severity scales to use in studying ME. He needs your opinion!
Takes ~15 mins but you can save and come back if you need a break.
If you could also share this, that would be a huge help!

I am a patient of this clinic and a former family physician. I would not be able to take care of myself as well - or understand my disease - as well, if it wasn't for the online group sessions this clinic provides. The Health Ministry must reconsider the planned payment changes. #LongCOVID #pwME
Starting Sept. 1, B.C.’s Medical Services Plan is capping all online group medical visits to just 20 patients, to “ensure there can still be a one-on-one interaction between each patient and physician,” the Health Ministry told The Tyee.
