Cockroaches in hospital.

Health Authority response:

'They do not bite.'

'The Vancouver Island Health Authority is downplaying what staff describe as a cockroach infestation in a medical unit of Saanich Peninsula Hospital.'

Island Health spokesperson, confirmed the insects are German cockroaches:
“These bugs do not bite and do not transmit disease”

Cow H5N1 has been in one country for a few months.
We have a test.
Sequencing shows it's from a single cross species transmission.
Just test & cull the infected US cows.

We were fine with culling millions of poultry, but since cows don't die from it, 'there's nothing we can do'.

It absolutely makes no sense to me… how charities that are meant to be for patients either strokes, diabetes, heart problems, cancers… do not do any health promotional work on the topic of C19.

Some of them are actively promoting spreading it.

The world is upside down.

'drug use is a health issue!' they say over and over again while insisting through their actions that it's a criminal issue

My threshold for blocking people has never been lower 😅

How do women not die of rage aneurysms every day?

Good morning. I wrote about why disabled people need MAiD-free healthcare spaces - and much more.
In a public-relations war, money can create even more imbalance than it does in a courtroom.

Let the Tamiflu wars begin.

People don't pretend to be sick.
They pretend to be well.

If humanity makes it and continues on into the future, we will look back at removing mask requirements at cancer hospitals as one of all-time worst decisions ever made

It's out! The World Health Organization (WHO)'s new wordsmithing report on airborne transmission. I'm going to do a little dissection on the good and the bad, who wins and who loses. 1/

This reminds me, I was going through my grandfather's personal photo archives recently and found a bunch of slides taken from the 1962 World's Fair.

This cry bully behaviour has become a hallmark of power in BC.

Journalists using power to platform power & punch down, & politicians enacting deeply inequitable policy & rewarding donors, then crying victim when they're rightly criticized.

If you dish it out, take it. #bcpoli

Random “help me because I live in a small country” medical tweet - looking for Australasian expertise in removal of pheo/para tumors (I guess vascular surgeons with full understanding of risk). US expertise also warmly welcomed 🙏

And this is the logic that could turn MAiD into genocide.

We live in an ableist capitalist society. Health care for disabled people is abysmal & getting worse. MAiD is a cheap solution to eliminating High-cost Users of Health Care (HCU)
Yes they have a term & track it.

Masks in healthcare settings is a bare minimum. This isn’t fucking rocket science.

This man’s hospitalization started from a respiratory infection and ended with MAiD. What are we doing??

How do we avoid cognitive dissonance listening to the BC Nurses’ Union raising hell over nurses exposed to 'inhaled substances' at work after it minimized Covid for 4 years & denied that it's airborne.

Nurses refusing to mask gave Covid to my elderly relative in hospital. #bcpoli
