@dominiccardy.bsky.social great interview on the Téléjournal Acadie!!!

Make America Highly Pathogenic Again If RFK Jr. gets to helm HHS, global health is at risk.

Out today in @foreignpolicy.com: I wrote about what will happen if there is an H5N1 pandemic with Robert F Kennedy, Jr. in charge of safeguarding the health of Americans.

If H5N1 begins spreading human to human, the deaths will be counted in millions.🧵👇

Pour c’que ça vaut, leur fact-checking valait pas grand chose… pour les fois que j’ai rapporté des fausses informations, de faux comptes, de commentaires menaçants, j’ai rarement eu une réponse où l’in avait retiré le commentaire ou la publication, mais bon… on prendra juste pu la peine de rapporter

Honorée de présenter mon livre L'Ébola, les bombes et les migrants au Geneva Press Club - Club suisse de la presse. L’évènement a lieu en présentiel mais il peut également être suivi en ligne si jamais. L'intro par Stephen Cornish et l'animation par Isabelle Falconnier

Merci @nicholasderosa.bsky.social . Je crois fermement qu’il n’y a pas de place pour la partisanerie dans la gestion de pandémies ou d’épidémies.

C’est intéressant à lire l’article de @nicholasderosa.bsky.social pour bien comprendre le contexte POLITIQUE de ce rapport. On doit en apprendre que la gestion de la prochaine pandémie devra être clinique, scientifique et NON PARTISANE! Allez lire «L’ébola, les bombes et les migrants» de Joanne Liu!

Rapport d’élus américains sur la COVID : du contexte supplémentaire Le rapport n’apporte pas de nouvelles preuves que le SRAS-CoV-2 aurait été créé en laboratoire.

Vous avez peut-être vu une chronique éclatante la semaine dernière qui disait qu'un comité bipartisan aux États-Unis avait mis au grand jour des "révélations" sur la Covid-19.

Il faut mettre certaines choses en contexte, toutefois.

Merci @jeffyates.bsky.social et @nicholasderosa.bsky.social (pour l’article!). Je trouve intéressant que les gens anti-vaccins citent « The COVID-19 Vaccine,Had Adverse Events That must be Throughoughly Investigated » en OUBLIANT la partie «…While Largely Safe and Effective… » (P.349)

C’est tu normal que ça me fasse peur??

On commence déjà à voir la mortalité périnatale augmenter dans les états où il y a des restrictions sur l’avortement. Ça risque juste de s’empirer… beaucoup!

RFK Jr.'s lawyer and top ally asked FDA to revoke approval of polio vaccine Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s personal attorney previously lobbied the Food and Drug Administration to revoke approval of the polio vaccine.

Make Polio Great Again.

Unvaccinated boy nearly died from tetanus. The cost of his care was almost $1 million. 6-year-old was infected in 2017 while playing on the family's farm, the first case of tetanus in Oregon in 30 years, according to a CDC report.

Thinking about those parents whose kid almost died of tetanus, and after receiving nearly a million dollars in care which included the tetanus vaccine, they declined to give him a preventative tetanus vaccine (or any other ones) post treatment. Kid was on a ventilator for 44 days

… Pas approcher la frontière? Est-ce qu’un visiteur au pays qui s’approche de la frontière commet un crime?
Me semble que le crime serait de TRAVERSER la frontière.
Cette personne qui S’APPROCHE de la frontière sera accusée de quoi?
Ça me semble compliqué tout ça…

Menaces de Trump : Ottawa augmente le nombre d’agents à la frontière La GRC va déployer plus de ressources pour surveiller la frontière entre le Québec et les États-Unis, a appris Radio-Canada.

J’ai un peu de misère à comprendre.
Quelqu’un qui entre au Canada légalement n’a pas le droit d’aller se promener près de la frontière Américaine?
Est-ce que les agents des Services Frontaliers du Canada avisent les entrants au Canada qu’il ne peuvent…(suite—>)

I guess we’ll see. They can always reinstate it if it doesn’t work out!🤷‍♂️

But this regulation SEEMS to be keeping prices up.
I understand that there’s a lot of the price going to taxes BUT, why is it that just across the bridge, in the US, there is a 30 cent per litre difference? Haven’t done the math, but is there really a 30c/l in taxes?

Câbles sous-marins sabotés en Europe : on connaît le coupable. Deux câbles de communication cruciaux ont été coupés et l’enquête pointe vers un navire chinois qui est accusé d’avoir volontairement trainé son ancre sur 160 km afin d’endommager les câbles Internet. www.01net.com/actualites/d...

We can write to our Ministers and Prime Ministers to demand policy change.
We can ask Public Health to catch up.
We can, as Doctors, review our patient’s vaccine history…
We CAN DO BETTER!
We MUST!
This might be our wake up call.
50 Measles patients, 1 community, ALL UNVACCINATED!

We point fingers at Conservatives, at Liberals… we accuse others.
WE CAN DO BETTER!
We can reply when we read anti-vaccine propaganda.
We can educate parents about the importance of vaccines.
We can write to our politicians, our representatives, …

Measles outbreak: Almost 30 per cent of N.B. kindergartners not fully vaccinated — The Canadian Press Nearly 30 per cent of children starting kindergarten in New Brunswick last ye

This is nothing to be proud of. BUT…
We point fingers.
- We point at anti-vaxxers; according to this article, only 0.2% accounts for hesitancy.
- We point fingers at the pandemic, at the worker shortages, at Public Health, …

Can’t read the article since it’s behind a paywall…
But… outbreak is up to 50 patients today… ALL unvaccinated… ALL!!! From the same community.
I for one remember the efforts of then Education Minister Cardy to mandate by abolishing non médical exemptions…

(Including Dr Joanne Liu, former head of Doctors Without Borders and her Ebola experience).
When this committee was abandoned by the then government… all hell broke loose! Yes, I have a bit of PTSD!

In New Brunswick, at the beginning of the pandemic, the lead was taken in by a tri-partisan committee along with representatives from both Health Authorities (including now Health Minister Dr John Dornan!) and PH officials. They were advised by specialists all over Canada and internationally…

Bird flu detected in raw milk sold in California, health officials say California health officials warned the public to avoid drinking one batch of whole raw milk from Raw Farm, which has issued a voluntary recall.

If only there was some way to remove viruses from milk www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Not judging, but I think you need to reassess what you know about raw milk.
There is practically no Lactase in raw milk. Pasteurization does not eliminate Lactase.
There are other benefits to milk: Proteins, Carbohydrates, Calcium, Vitamin D if fortified, Potassium… and CHEESE!!!

Current government responses? Ah, we get tons of hate comments when we post on socials, so we’ll just stop posting.
PH gives appointments for child vaccines, parents don’t show up? All PH does is « 🤷‍♂️ »… these parents NEED the education, not disengagement!
No one is leading!!!

I think it’s time to discredit ALL that the anti-vaxxers say!
Let’s educate the population as to what vaccines really do and don’t do. Let’s tell the population that anti-vaxxers LIE to them.
Let’s show the population that vaccines save lives, not the opposite!
