Doctors say that vaccines protect children from dangerous diseases. A nepo baby who barbecues dogs and snorts cocaine off toilet seats says that vaccines make children vulnerable to 5G radiation. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

You don't need to be an Olympic athlete or an astronaut to wear a respirator

Well ain’t that something. The politician “experts” saying more people vaccinated would not have helped.
Complete and utter BS.

Better build many many more hospitals UCP… or is the plan to just keep letting ABs die in the ED WRs?

Alberta’s flu season is the deadliest in years, yet the UCP is doubling down on anti-expert rhetoric. While doctors state clearly that higher vaccine uptake would save lives, the government is calling that "false" to cover for their failing health policy. Spin kills. #AbLeg #Abpoli #Cdnpoli

I keep saying this over and over:

You cannot be pro-infection and pro-vax.

Those who have been pro-infection (from the early unicorn kids in magical virus blocking schools to the more insidious 'hybrid immunity' and 'immunity debt' narratives) own a LOT of this.

#1 popular shows on Rotten Tomatoes in the past year that rely on the character trope of child or infant death to "flesh out" their adult characters:

1. His and Hers
2. Stick
3. The Beast in Me
4. Untamed
5. The Girlfriend

Probably more.

Just fucking stop already

Please push back loudly against the chronic absenteeism propaganda. It’s absence. It’s absence due to illness. That is the no 1 reason for kids missing school. A big driver of that is that buses and school buildings are not safe/healthy for kids or workers. Everyone in school deserves healthy air.

That’s what this study shows, thousands of others imply a large amount of causation.

A screenshot of an episode of The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart with captions that read:

Tim Miller: Well, it's a progressive outlet, so there are a couple of people wearing masks.

Jon Stewart: Oh, there's always two. And you always say, "Oh, are you sick?" 

And they go, "Uh, I don't want to talk about it."

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

in a very real way, jon stewart's greatest public accomplishment is premised on a willful and reckless disregard for ppe. if firefighters had worn proper respiratory protection on 9/11, all he'd have is a few peabody awards and some money.

Liberals in a nutshell.

You just have to wait for their slip up moments then you realize they are actually conservatives from 2020, and some of them would be fascists if given a little scratch. As the saying goes.

Look at this chart and remember:

1) the COVID immune damage claim is that after a COVID infection, influenza gets worse

vs

2) the "immunity debt" claim is that after a bad influenza season, influenza gets better

Now look at how 2022-23 compares to previous years, and ask "Which claim was right?"

Quite apart from the misinterpreted and poorly presented science that will continue to get some of his readers killed or disabled, I’d like to point out another glaring factual error.

People that wear masks did not and do not refuse to enter society. Society refuses to accept mask wearers.

People I know who were equivocal about climate change a decade ago are now very convinced it's a large threat. These same people are equivocal about the threat of long COVID now. History repeats

Yes, but given the reams of high powered studies about covid causing increased cardiovascular risk, growing evidence relating to cancer, autoimmunity etc, it's likely primarily covid (particularly unvaccinated which is a hard hitting disease) worsening health primarily.

mRNA COVID vaccines tied to drop in death rate for 4 years

25% reduction in all cause mortality over 4 years for those vaccinated against covid, huge study.

Wow, this almost suggests covid is implicated in an unbelievable number of deaths. And that vaccinated people should wear respirators if they want to remain abled.

Still no airborne virus mitigations in schools, hospitals, healthcare, LTC
Even in this article, handwashing is the first bullet listed on how to prevent getting the flu 😡

Reddit: "The people who are studying the impact of COVID literally talk about it in the past tense, as if we are building monuments to some past event. Like “wow we should learn from COVID to listen to disabled people” you mean the disabled people trying to tell you covid is still ongoing??!"

Does wearing a face mask stop you catching flu? Experts give verdict Wearing a mask is inconvenient, but not as inconvenient as lockdowns

If it doesn't get inside you, it can't make you sick.

Respirators are designed by experts to help protect you from aerosol hazards, including COVID, the flu and other airborne diseases, and tested to make sure they are effective - and they are.

Anyone who tells you otherwise is a quack.

The relative contribution of close-proximity contacts, shared classroom exposure and indoor air quality to respiratory virus transmission in schools - Nature Communications The relative importance of close-proximity interactions, shared space and air quality to the transmission of respiratory viruses is not well understood. Here, the authors investigate this question by ...

This study is amazing, it demonstrates that close contact is slightly, but far less risky for respiratory infections than total exposure time in congregate settings & poor indoor air quality (basically, airborne long distance transmission).

Engineers can solve this.

Why the “immunity debt” narrative ultimately collapsed:

Over the past few months, the conversation has moved toward the conclusion the evidence has been pointing to for years.

Since 2022, immunity debt offered an easy explanation for the unusual patterns of illness we kept seeing.
