It's 2026 and doctors are recommending handwashing as a way to prevent inhaling airborne viruses.

three panel comic:

panel 1: guy on bike with stick in his hand and the caption says: I'm a doctor

panel 2: guy on bike putting stick into his wheel spokes with the caption: Protect yourself from airborne viruses with lasting health consequences by washing your hands

panel 3: guy on ground in pain holding his knee because his bike crashed with the caption: Why is my ER full

Let me be clear: we know from evidence in countries around the world that physician dual practice drains resources away from the public system and, in many cases, increases wait times for public patients. This goes directly against the spirit of the Canada Health Act. 1/3

With the Cargill report making the rounds, it's worth remembering that infection control wasn't just incompetent in 2020 - this is that special, sustained, durable kind of incompetence that comes along with the refusal to ever admit a mistake. Let infection control screw up once, and it's forever.

We need someone in Alberta government to say this stuff... it's not raising the bar to expect data centers to not negatively impact a community. evidence is so ample, and each one that gets proposed should be adjusted based on all of the impact issues already evident - or they shouldn't be built.

This is from 1994, and things have only gotten worse since. "The scandal of poor medical research", Altman writing in BMJ. Institutional medicine isn't suffering from a lack of trust - it's suffering from a lack of *trustworthiness*. #medsky #scisky www.bmj.com/content/308/...

What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment, either wilfully or through ignorance, or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug)? Most people would agree that such behaviour was unprofessional, arguably unethical, and certainly unacceptable.

What, then, should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either wilfully or in ignorance), use the right techniques wrongly, misinterpret their results, report their results selectively, cite the literature selectively, and draw unjustified conclusions? We should be appalled. Yet numerous studies of the medical literature, in both general and specialist journals, have shown that all of the above phenomena are common.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 This is surely a scandal.

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.

much like researching female hormones by only researching men and therefore menstrual issues are non-existent, masks are designed to fit men and if they don't fit you that is certainly not the man's problem, and the research shows masks fit and no further development is needed.

yes, classist, corporatocractic policies guiding democracies (which purport to serve the people) need to be seen and called out. Democratically sanitized inequities (ruling class downplay, minimize, nimby), while majority suffer and die from unnecessarily inequitable health, housing, edu. policy.

I think most unequal needs some qualifiers here. Agree with the reason for posting, just can't see how this statement is true when millions of people are dying while walking out of a country because they were told to leave, women are still being born without birth certificates, and genocides.

This is an important step forward. The illusion of protection from infection while masking only during AGPs and not while sharing air was vibe-based, LONG undermined by mountains of replicated studies in aerosol transmission research, think since tuberculosis.

Now investigating: service people who died after receiving vaccine. Death not related to vaccine, just any time after. A handy figure to share with SC2 vaccine hesitant: "Adjusted figures showed myocarditis roughly twice as likely after vaccination and about 14 times as likely after infection."
