All that school absenteeism that education bureaucrats & the #Media have been fretting about lately, without mentioning an #OngoingPandemic of an injurious #AirborneVirus?
Solution: #CleanTheAir & #PreventLongCOVID
It's not rocket science 🚀

“The Human Cost of Failing to Name COVID ‘Airborne’”
Excellent article worth sharing again and again!

An image of a person holding a syringe and inserting the syringe into a COVID vaccine vial.
COVID vaccines are tied to less hospital care, long COVID, and economic burden.
A large study in Germany shows lower hospitalization, all-cause death rates, and health care costs in vaccinated people.

Yes, measles, Covid-19, flu... it does not matter, public health is a shared responsibility - our decisions impact others around us

Here it is, my annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them. 🌻
COVID-19 may increase lung cancer risk through inflammatory pathways in lungs

“…it was observed that the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias in the early post-COVID-19 period among non-hospitalized patients without prior CVD does not depend on COVID-19 severity.”

$65 Billion Missing????
“In the Auditor General’s 2024 report, she notes that over $65 BILLION IS MISSING. Most of that was received from Ottawa as transfer payments intended for health care, but for 5 years the Ford government hadn’t kept track of where that money went! (Any guesses?)”
“Findings indicate an association between acute COVID-19 rates and increased car crashes … comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol at legal limits or driving with a seizure disorder.”

“… in Ontario, Canada (1993–2025) …SARS-CoV-2 was associated with a 3–4-fold higher population mortality burden than seasonal influenza A despite available countermeasures.”

Finally #LongCOVID enters the conversation, & #Lockdowns EXIT 👈 sorry about this typo (courtesy of autocorrect), which quite changed the meaning of this post.
But you get the gist, "lockdowns" (protections) were not injurious.
Whereas, Long COVID (still zero cure), is a mass disabling event -
At some point the endless string of corrupt behaviour has got to catch up to Doug Ford. How will this play with all the rubes who see him as 'one of them'?
If you think Doug Ford using taxpayer funds to buy his private jet is unrelated to his trying to have jets fly from Toronto's Island Airport, I've got a failed private waterfront spa at Ontario Place, a shuttered Science Centre, and a tunnel under the 401 to sell you.

So many of us who advocated for N95s were told to avoid COVID by hand washing.
This apology doesn’t rectify the ongoing problem; the general population still thinks COVID isn’t airborne and even our hospitals aren’t instituting masking to protect our most vulnerable patients.

Canada's Covid strategy has been to not talk about Covid and vaguely encourage people to suffer quietly.
Canada: Hospitalization rates for illnesses like COVID, flu have doubled since pre-pandemic, report finds.

Your daughter is very fortunate to have you as a parent.
What does attendance in 2026 have to do with COVID-19?
A 🧵
Attention to those trying to keep up on COVID research & implications…I strongly recommend following @kathrynas.bsky.social
If health-related reasons (e.g., respiratory illness, mental health issues, disability) are even partly responsible for this rather dramatic increase in absences, making students' grades contingent on being present could very well make matters worse.
Percentage of Ontario high school students missing 10% or more of their classes:
2017-18: 40%
2021-22: 47%
2022-23: 64%
2023-24: 59.5%
2024-25: 59.8%
ON's proposed policy solution? Award grades for attendance. Forget addressing root causes of increased absences.

This is bang on and fully supported by the evidence 👇
Oh, chronic absenteeism after the pandemic has risen to over 60% for high school students in Ontario?
That’s because IT’S NOT AFTER THE PANDEMIC
Kids are missing school because they are sick, and this is happening on a global scale.

Vaccination is certainly one of the important layers of protection.
I’m so sorry for what your daughter is going through and imagine it is heartbreaking for you.
Every single person standing up for science and refusing to deny the current reality of Covid is a much needed and appreciated pillar of society.
Perhaps PP should refer to the PM as Dr. Carney, given his PhD in, checks notes, Economics….
