Has anyone studied the impacts of subsequent vaccination on post-covid recovery and long covid?
I think someone needs to... because one of my friends' doctors doesnt't want her to get more boosters since she's *still* dealing with the effects of her covid infection 1.5 years ago. ๐คฏ

Birds are an integral part of our ecosystems.
They disperse seeds and are pollinators. They inspire us, contribute to our economy, and connect us to the natural world.
Ask us how to make your outdoor space bird friendly.
And theyโll go crying to daddy soon and beg the government to intervene because employers donโt believe they actually have to negotiate with their unions. And the government will intervene because it too is an employer who doesnโt believe it needs to negotiate with its unions.

We have demonstrated a serious commitment throughout the process and a sincere willingness to reach an agreement by proposing several compromises and improvements that address the pilots' demands. Despite these efforts, ALPA has shown no openness, and the discussions have not led to an agreement. It is regrettable that the union has expressed such indifference toward Transat, its employees and clients by choosing the path of a strike at this time of yearโa reckless decision that does not reflect the state of negotiations. While our priority is now to take care of our customers, we remain committed to the process in order to conclude a negotiated agreement," said Julie Lamontagne, Chief Human Resources, Corporate Responsibility and Communications Officer.
This is hilarious.
The company is making it seem as though the strike notice was the unionโs decision.
The workers voted 99% to authorize a strike.
The unionโwhich is made up the members, who vote in the executiveโis honouring the will of its members.

The anecdotal pipeline was screaming this a couple of weeks ago. Also the attrition line has alway been bull shit, these are jobs that present and future generations will not have access to. And it will trickle down to those of us that rely on expendable income to feed our families.
