Watch Dr. Kopstick's story and hear why he chose to build his future in BC. Know a health-care worker in the US? Share this story, or tag them in the comments, and let them know BC's hiring.

Approval of the updated COVID vaxx are anticipated end of Aug. Shipments of vaxx to pharmacies usually come a few days after. A reminder that bc the virus that causes COVID changes vaccines are updated yearly to be a better match for whatever is circulating (just like the flu shot).

I am once again yelling from the rooftops that this man is a eugenicist. He fundamentally believes that he and his ilk are "superior" and anyone who needs extra support isn't worthy of life. Miller is the one who put RFK Jr. in place. Miller has a LONG and loud history of this behavior.
