There is a large green digital billboard display with the words COVID-19 CAUSES... BRAIN DAMAGE DEMENTIA IMMUNE DAMAGE HEART PROBLEMS DIABETES CHRONIC ILLNESS N95 ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ANYONE CAN GET LONG COVID, EVEN KIDS. MASK UP AND STAY SAFE. On it. There is also a graphic of a purplish virus particle, and a white n95 mask. There are also 3 vehicles in the picture, two are dark blue suvs and the other is a white car. There are buildings in the background and a patch of grass in front of the parking lot where the vehicles are. It is a sunny day.

Covid numbers are rising and we trying to get the word out. Here are the first two billboards so far this summer and I’ll be working to keep putting them out well into the fall.
If you want to help me continue the campaign any help is appreciated.

In 2022, there was a profound need for reliable COVID data in Canada, as reporting withered.

This although excess deaths in Canada in 2022 were nearly as high as Canadian deaths in all 5 years of WWII combined.

I always do nose first and then mouth because the mouth is objectively "dirtier" (more bacteria etc). Is there any reason (with respect to accuracy of tests) to prefer the order you said?

For COVID-aware people who aren’t in denial, daily living—taking public transport, going to work and doctors appointments, hell even stepping outside to get your mail—has felt like this for going on 3-4+ years. No one masked while you can get brain damage from someone exhaling… It’s exhausting.

this is a good thread. i hope all who read this read it a second time. maybe a third. consider the takeaways as the apply to other methods of disease prevention we can all engage in every day: handwashing and mask wearing among them.

we owe each other everything. we can keep each other safe.

A measles problem is a public health problem.

Remember them? Yeah, me neither.

Not since Canadian public health deferred to the economy & became an instrument of politicians "following the science" in an ongoing pandemic of a highly transmissible, airborne virus that still kills & disables -

The majority of covid transmission happens BEFORE a person is symptomatic. That’s why masking up “when u feel sick” doesn’t prevent transmission. Getting boosted doesn’t absolve u of killing those around u w airborne virus during a pandemic. It’s not delusional to discuss the reality of transmission

The science clearly shows that surrendering to 1-2 COVID infections a year is a big mistake—especially given what we can reasonably surmise now about living in a future world where science and health are completely devalued.

Infection isn’t inevitable. #WearAnN95 and protect yourself and others.

Hey I xposted this over on twitter, hope that's cool w you :-)

every time i call my mom she leads with how she or someone else is sick right now and like, ew i don't need to know? especially because i'm not supposed to say anything about it so why start the conversation like that. are we ignoring covid or not make up your mind.

Actually, Covid is harmful to 100% of the population.

Both metro and maxi (PC) are doing this!

Doing my grocery order online; they're now clearly marking made in Canada products on the website. Yay! 🍁

Masking should be mandatory in healthcare!

There are the ppl who think the majority must be right because practically everyone says so.

And then there are the ppl who *know* the majority are incorrect, wrong, harmful, and dangerous, but feel they're justified or obliged to go along because it's the majority opinion.

One good starting point would be to acknowledge the CURRENT SRAS-CoV-2 pandemic...

It would be easier
were this truly
the end of the world,
for in that case
you would be free
to do nothing.

But this is not
the end of the world,
just the end of the world
as you knew it,
and so in this case
you are obligated
to do something.

Covid is arguably the biggest cover-up of the 21st century—and it’s being perpetrated right in front of everyone’s eyes. There are now thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies warning of its dangers, and articles on it are a simple Google search away.

Protect yourself and others. #WearAnN95

Yeah. Thanks. We don't necessarily notice that it's problematic when it's on, but I worry it's damaged his lungs more over the years he's lived with it. Already a weak point for him.

Hmmm, well the one we have is at least several decades old. It's a large/tall wall unit where you can see the fire through a grate at the bottom. It does have a pipe at the top venting outside, but since the fire is visible/open air, there's no fan, and it's in the living room, I'm unconvinced!

I assume it's similar with a gas furnace. I have a close person with v problematic lungs, we are now trying to heat his house through Canadian winter with no furnace because we are afraid it is exacerbating.

oh wow, that's interesting, thanks! unlike on twitter, the pins would not be anon. also, are there no DMs here?

Hi Kelly! I'm still spending most of my time on twitter, but I should pop over here more often... is there a secret trick to "bookmark" things here?

‘I would still receive another rather than no vaccine at all’: Chronically ill people left with little choice - Healthy Debate Canada will not be providing Novavax for the 2024/25 season, leaving those who would have preferred an alternative to the mRNA vaccine without options.

Where's the Novavax?
for many, it's the right choice:
1) if you have had a previous bad immune reaction to an mRNA vaccine
2) if you have an autoimmune disorder and prefer a protein based vaccine
3) any other reason to prefer a non-mRNA vaccine
healthydebate.ca/2024/10/topi...

You're right, I don't think it does, but it's my understanding from previous reading. Repeated shots of mrna causes "imprinting" (focusing in on the variant in the shot) wheras repeated shots of novavax "decreases antigenic distance" between variants (gives a wider range of variants recognized).

also broader variant coverage?
