Congratulations @jossreimer.bsky.social - you are going to do a splendid job! If you need anything, just ask. I may be in Edmonton but Colonnade used to be like a second home!

Jason Kelce in a Santa Hat

Just throwing this out there - Jason Kelce needs to star in a #Christmas #movie where he plays a young #Santa who is a retired hitman and decides to make it up to all the people he hurt by bringing presents to their kids. Action with a heart. Bonus cameo from John Wick. #NFL #MNF #Santa

It's pretty toxic and unsupportive out there these days. I used to give comments like that to budget meetings. The Chairs always appreciated my perspective. You gotta say it how it is and let the people at the table deal with the egg covering some faces.

@wat3rm370n.bsky.social Nicely done. Gave a perspective that would irritate the intolerant minority and bolster the data/statistics wonks. Muchly appreciate your voice.

Watching #ACIP discussion on #HBV #vaccine and saw this. What is exactly the gripe the intolerant minority has? If these people truly thought the vaccine was dangerous, wouldn't they just vote to withdrawal it?

Or is this really about keeping the intolerant minority voters happy?

Tuberculosis outbreak declared in Edmonton's inner-city | Alberta Health Services EDMONTON — Primary Care Alberta's tuberculosis program and the Edmonton Zone Medical Officers of Health have declared an outbreak of active infectious TB in Edmonton's inner-city

2025 is the year of re-emerging pathogens it seems. TB is the perfect silent predator and once established, very difficult to treat. I just hope it is not MDR.

I think it's time to make this meme viral again! Repost it. Like it. Send it to your friends. Put it on other platforms - we need to get the word out to the kids that it's okay to get vaccinated even if their parents don't like it!

I had a few choice words to say about why #Canada has lost its #measles #eradication status. For those wondering, this is part of a fantastic report from CTV Edmonton - check out the whole story at: www.ctvnews.ca/edmonton/art...

A rather clunky first attempt at a Vaccines For Life logo

In recognition of the loss of #measles #elimination status in #Canada - may I ask those who believe in #vaccines and also choose to #GetVaccinated share their support and maybe this logo - and feel free to make it better as I admit it's rather clunky. #Vaccines4Life

Not AT ALL happy. It will take a year or so to notice the effects but I do feel for the healthcare professionals who are going to deal with yet another re-emergence. I warned about this over 10 years ago - people back then said it can't be that bad. Well...

aaaaaaaaaand #Canada loses its #measles #elimination status. Not that it comes as a surprise mind you. I was warning on the radio 10 years ago this was going to happen. We're here now. It's never been a war against germs - just mis and dis and anti.

The Inconvenient Immigration of Chikungunya

Travelling South? Beware The Chikungunya Virus The illness is called Chikungunya (pronounced chick-uhn-guhn-ya) and is derived from the African Makonde language meaning "to become contorted" or "to walk bent over." As the name implies, the disease...

I wrote about #chikungunya over a decade ago for @huffpost.com - back then it was a warning to travellers heading South. Today, it's relevant for people in #NYC - how times have changed!

Don't mind me. I'm just reading the @jama.com article showing no higher incidence of #autism due to #acetaminophen (erm #Tylenol) use during pregnancy. For those about to anti, it involves 2.48M people.

What makes chocolate taste so good? It’s the microbes Beans matter, but microbes may be the real secret to fine chocolate flavor. Scientists are building starter cultures that may improve quality.

“Cocoa plants’ genetic makeup plays a role in chocolate’s taste, but ‘fermentation also is driving the flavor development, and I would even argue, has an even bigger impact on the flavor profile’”
