You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented, but then you read. Dostoevsky and Dickens taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who had ever lived. - James Baldwin, paraphrased

Once on the old site, there was this discussion among Canadian opinion journos about the leftist ideological problems with Canadian Higher Ed. Then, a few academics asked them some basic questions like, do you know what the most popular undergrad major is? They had no idea (Business, by the way).

The lunatic running the country south of us, wants to annex the Great Lakes, parts of Ontario, incl Toronto - to control all the fresh water running btwn our countries. Considering DEM party is MIA, we’ll need our American friends and families to help us obstruct Putin’s asset from carrying it out

Today’s class session in my introductory public health class is going to be entirely devoted to an overview of how vaccines work and how they are researched and regulated. I believe it is my responsibility as a public health professor to share this information and be available to discuss questions.

Slide with data from a study of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine titled “epidemiology and vaccination programs”

Beautiful safety and efficacy data is just a start. Vaccinations, not simply vaccines, save lies. Successful vaccination programs depend on public trust. Transparent processes of research, regulation, monitoring and ongoing communication are critical. We must continually ask how we can improve these processes
