Dr. Naomi Wolf. 8 NYT Bestsel... & Follow @naomirwolf I have a horrible feeling that many vaccinated people will never fully recover their heart energy. Do you know what I mean? That warm glow you used to get from heart to heart hugging of people, is diminished with some vaccinated people, to a brief flicker, much fainter life force? Energy healers, does anything work to heal this in your experience?

U.S. ‘whistleblower’ site targets Canadian doctors providing… Canadian providers can now be flagged to U.S. authorities without ever setting foot in the country.

The U.S. is letting people report Canadian doctors like they’re criminals — you know, for doing their jobs. And no one’s really talking about it yet.

Oh, and apparently our kids' mattresses are full of banned chemicals. Cool cool.

The CDC Has Been Gutted Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

“The cuts today at CDC targeted programs that address all aspects of American lives,” a source at the CDC tells WIRED. “This will lead to worse health outcomes, greater risks to the US public, and will contribute to the decline in US life expectancy."

US moves threaten health of Canadians Recent US abandonment of commitments to public health in the US and globally will pose a direct threat to the health of Canadians. That was one of the stark messages delivered to those attending th…

The war on birth control isn't a trend. It’s a campaign A wave of disinformation amplified by tech billionaires is turning patients away from birth control.

Hi nerds, our newsletter is back!

This week’s top story isn’t about vaccines or viruses. It’s birth control.

Gynecologists say online disinformation is influencing their patients to reject established methods of contraception.

But is it just another viral trend, or something else?

"You can't blindly trust everything you read on Wikipedia" was such a long-term internet media literacy rallying cry, and then somebody came along and made "much worse wikipedia, but also it does your homework for you" and everyone in power collectively turned their brains off

3 points on this because there's renewed interest in domestic production of vaccines in Canada in light of tariffs & general global health chaos:
1. Local production (globally) is needed for security of supply of some vaccines
2. Not all local production will be helpful
3. Choose products carefully

This is exactly the kind of medicine for which there is a strong argument for the role of a public manufacturer - market size is too small to sustain the interest of quality assured manufacturers in the private sector, leading to product shortages and uncertainty compromising patient care.

There are days in life that shake you.

A Beck taxi driving on a bridge with a blurred urban Toronto skyline in the background. The bridge has a cable and steel structure, and the cityscape shows multiple high-rise buildings in the distance. The taxi is in motion, with a brownish-orange color, and the "Beck" logo is visible on its side. A person in a dark jacket can be seen walking in the background.

A text passage discussing ride-hailing services in Canada, featuring quotes from Harrison Amit, CEO of Hovr, and Kristine Hubbard from Beck Taxi. The text focuses on supporting local transportation businesses and criticizing unregulated American companies like Uber and Lyft. The article suggests stopping reimbursements for rides with U.S.-based ride-hailing services and prioritizing domestic transportation options.

Want to know why big American tech is so hard to compete with?

Toronto is promoting 'Buy Canadian' while reimbursing staff Uber & Lyft rides.

It's time for them to ditch the US techbros and support local companies like Beck + HOVR.
