Calgary stopped adding fluoride to its water in 2011. What happened? "The need for intravenous antibiotic therapy by children to avoid death by infection rose 700% at the Alberta Children’s Hospital." - Dr. James Dickinson @ University of Calgary calgary.ctvnews.ca/calgary-s-plan…

Appointing a guy with billions of dollars of government contracts to have this level of control over the government is perhaps the most corrupt thing in the history of the federal government. Indefensible.

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

Important local happenings:

"Give me an example of why I should care about PBM reform." Drug for Multiple Sclerosis: Teriflunomide Cost: $16 What Caremark insurance reimburses their own "specialty" pharmacy: $6,229 A 38,000% markup. That profit markup is paid out of everyone's premiums with Caremark

I’m at a cancer treatment center getting my 27th dose of radiation. My doctor recommends 35. UnitedHealthcare refuses to pay for more than 28. I’ve fought them for weeks to get full treatment approved. This is my Hail Mary to hopefully get them to reconsider.

Just got a call from UnitedHealthcare. APPROVED!!!!!!! Thank you all so much!!! Today I celebrate for me, but I vow to continue fighting for others. I’m overwhelmed and will not forget your kindness.

Hey Cigna Healthcare @Cignaquestions - I'm unluckily immunocompromised & got COVID (& prescribed paxlovid) 2x in 2 months. This time you're requiring a prior auth. Two days before Xmas when offices are closed. For a med that must be taken w/in 5 days of symptom onset. I'm on day 3. Help?

Meanwhile in space...

My child is less than 2 months old and therefore is not vaccinated yet against measles. I cannot believe I have to worry about his vulnerable little body getting it in the year 2025. Being anti-vax is not a personal choice. You drag us all along for the ride.
