@henribreboeuf.bsky.social Hi Henri! I missed seeing you in the other place & found you here. I've been thinking about your yummy gravies & cooking efforts. Hope all is well.

You are probably getting brain damage from all those COVID infections.

Inside the Far-Right Push to Influence Canadian Political Parties | The Tyee A conference call shows a political operative with past Conservative connections advising several white nationalist groups.

A former OneBC staffer previously participated in a Spaces call with the leaders of white nationalist/"Canadian nationalist" organizations.

They talked about deporting 10 million people and joked about throwing "millions of Punjabis" into the sea. 1/3 thetyee.ca/News/2026/02...

This image shows gauges with the Jan 17 - Jan 30, 2026 COVID Forecast scores for Canada, the provinces, and territories. From left to right: Canada: VERY HIGH - 12.1 Alberta: VERY HIGH - 12.3 British Columbia: HIGH - 8.1 Manitoba: SEVERE - 19.2 New Brunswick: VERY HIGH - 11.2 Newfoundland & Labrador: VERY HIGH - 11.3 North: VERY HIGH - 12.9 Nova Scotia: SEVERE - 17.6 Ontario: VERY HIGH - 10.9 Prince Edward Island: HIGH - 9.8 Quebec: VERY HIGH - 12.3 Saskatchewan: SEVERE - 17.9 A text box reads: 'The COVID Forecast is calculated from 3 equally weighted categories: 1) Current infections and spread; 2) Healthcare system impact; 3) Mortality. Within each category there is one sub-category for trends over the most recent week (Trends) and one sub-category for current parameter values relative to a specified baseline (Current values). Trends and current values are weighted equally when determining the final score for a category. All Forecast input data and sources are available here (https://datastudio.google.com/embed/u/0/reporting/42b886cf-d661-488e-b7d8-5c5836b55ab6/page/p_2yqs028mwc). Past Forecast scores are available in the table below. Forecast scores are grouped into 4 ranges: MODERATE (1 to <5, white), HIGH (6 to <10, yellow), VERY HIGH (10 to <15, orange), SEVERE (>15 red).'

Fantastic article!! It's getting passed around & liked on the other app. Thank you very much for your hard work & for spreading the word.

The Schizophrenic Reality of a Pandemic That Never Ended Five years into COVID-19, the virus continues to disable millions. Yet, the world has decided to move on. Why is that?

Over half a decade in, and we're living in two realities about COVID-19.

In one: the pandemic is over, life is normal, nobody worries anymore.

In the other: 700,000+ daily infections in the US. 400 million people living with long COVID.\

Only one is right.

Hi 👋

I'm Brennan. I've been writing poetry for 15 years and blogging for a decade. 170+ articles and counting!

Here's what I write about:

🌿 Analog practices & slow living
✍️ The actual work of building a writing life

One of the major problems we faced with SARS2, EboV, ZIKV, MPox1, etc., is the lack of antivirals.

It's a total catch 22.

This is because pharma can't guarantee a return investing in diseases that may/may not happen...so, they don't.

The childhood vaccine schedule is an outline of which vaccines doctors recommend for children and at what ages they should be vaccinated. The schedule was developed by medical experts to provide your children with protection against illnesses at ages the vaccines can be received safely and will work best with the child’s immune system. The schedule also takes into account at what ages children are most at risk of the illnesses.

No, there is no new information and no changes in vaccine safety or risk of diseases. Vaccines continue to be the best way to protect your children from several illnesses, including illnesses that can cause long-term health damage, disability, and death. Delaying or skipping vaccination increases your child’s risk of illness and contributes to more viruses spreading in the community.

Why do other countries recommend different vaccines? Different countries recommend different vaccines because certain factors make vaccines more or less important in different countries. These factors include risk of certain diseases being higher or lower; differences in the countries’ populations; which vaccines are available in each country; differences in access to healthcare; and more. The U.S. vaccine schedule was developed to take into account our unique healthcare structures, population, and prevalence of certain diseases. These factors all determine disease risk and the importance of protection from vaccinces.

Can I still choose to get my child vaccinated even if the vaccine schedule has changed? Yes. Vaccines continue to be available and important to protect your child’s short-term and long-term health. It is important not to delay or skip vaccination, as this exposes your child to unnecessary risk.

You may have heard about changes in the childhood immunization schedule (vaccination schedule), but this doesn't mean vaccines are less safe or less important. Getting your child vaccinated, on time, is the safest & most effective way to protect them from the consequences of preventable illnesses.

It is tragic. I also wonder what kind of airborne precautions (if any) were in place to prevent this gentleman from getting hospital acquired infections. Handwashing doesn't stop Covid, flu, Measles, TB...

Super. I am following the template from DoNoHarmBC, but there's a lot to cover. Most of us have the will, but not the technical writing skills. I'm trying to get the ball rolling on X with as many ppl I can. I can't bear the thought of anti-maskers getting their way. It's outrageous.

It is both literally & figuratively sickening.

Do people even care?
Are they aware?

Trumplethinskin is spending $200 million on a golden ballroom at the White House after cutting funding on childhood cancer research.

Let that sink in!

Thanks for this, David. I am so angry at these buttheads right now I could spit.

As I’ve said many times: the issue of airborne transmission and respiratory infection in healthcare isn’t a controversy. It’s a scandal.

Thank you!! Are any sections more important than others for us to comment on? Are proposals also necessary? I fear a lot of us might find this kind of technical documentation somewhat overwhelming & not even try to fill it out. I would love to get everyone on board so we can turn this ship around.
