The cabinet minister responsible for Long Term Care followed this account until my data analysis and commentary increasingly pointed to negligence by her Ministry. Don’t let politicians with a conflict of interest rewrite our history.

In science & esp medicine, risk is a tricky thing to contend with - besides of course being a mathematical one - and involves many considerations in order to have a more fulsome understanding. In this post Dr. Elisabeth Marnik Ph.D. and I attempt to explain these concepts. 1/9

Months before I got Covid for the first time, I wrote this piece about lack of infection control in hospitals. This week I got to experience it myself when I reluctantly went to the ER for a 10 day migraine- itself a post COVID health issue thegauntlet.news/p/hospitals-ar…

Sharing another slide from the PICNet training presentation. These are the people most at risk of dying despite being boosted. Every day that goes by without N95s in hospitals, leaders send the message they are expendable

TRIGGER warning: graphic descriptions (written) I provided input to the Canadian Task Force, how the previous guidelines harmed me. Scratch that: are killing me. I’m not sure the time I spent writing the brief made an iota of a difference based on the newly proposed

Do you trust information from CTFPHC | GECSSP when in 2018 they said women 40-49 had a 48% chance of Overdiagnosis and this year… it is only calculated to be 3%. Oops! Sorry to all you women who got turned down for Mammo screening because of GROSSLY overinflated harms in 2018.

As we hear more stories of HCWs refusing to mask for compromised patients - I want to ask people to consider how it feels to BE that patient. To feel like your life doesn’t matter & you’re a burden. I’ve been that patient & wouldn’t wish that feeling on anyone. 🧵 /1

Here's the thing about school closures everyone forgets. Scientists fully expected decisionmakers to use the 1st lockdown to put in place MEASURES ato allow safe and permanent school opening. We were aghast when they failed to do so. Blame appropriately. cbsnews.com/news/fauci-sch…
