AI video and fake website featuring Canada's top doctor dupes Facebook users into scam purchase A video claiming to show an interview with chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam appeared on Facebook in May. In the video, Tam says doctors discovered blood clots in

5. I did a quick google search and found out that the video (which was propagated so quickly and has likely done serious harm to public health efforts in a time of unprecedented measles outbreaks) was AI generated. Totally fake news: www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/fact_checkin...

4. The video was trying to SELL SOMETHING!! 🚩🚩🚩
If someone claims a terrible side effect of a vaccine and then tries to sell you a remedy for it, that is a HUGE red flag. (PS. It would be an enormous conflict of interest for the CMOH of Canada to sell that remedy to you).

3. Only one expert was presented and spoke for the whole video. Good journalism involves multiple experts and often patients to demonstrate well verified sources.

2. The video claimed this absolute truth has been known for years about the COVID vaccine and was “hidden.”Vaccines are constantly monitored and alarms are triggered and the public notified as soon as there is a safety signal that shows an association with a vaccine.

1. The video used certainty (claimed absolute truth) and gory photos as a way of inducing fear, especially in those who are already worried about vaccine side effects. Medical professionals give you evidence and likelihoods, not gory photos.

This evening within a span of 15 min, several friends/family members of varied backgrounds sent me a video of Dr Theresa Tam claiming COVID vaccines are lethal. Highly educated friends with medical backgrounds believed it. I debunked it in less than 5 minutes. Here’s how:🧵

Losing Matters Like all of the elections before it, Monday will test our collective resolve.

Canada will be full of losers tonight. And winners.

That's the way it goes after every election.

But with disinformation, factionalism, and separatism in the air, this one feels different.

Some things to keep in mind:

I’m past childbearing age but Poilievre is coming for women’s rights so I’m voting Liberal. 

I’m not gay or trans but Poilievre said there are only 2 genders so, I’m voting Liberal to protect LGBTQ rights. 

I’m not poor but Poilievre said the poor are poor because they don’t work, so I’m voting Liberal to protect their support system. 

I’m not teaching in a university but Poilievre wants to control universities so I’m voting Liberal. 

I’m voting Liberal because I’ve read the damn poem…

Tomorrow is the last day to vote #Election2025

Vote as if your rights depend on it.

Court ruling saying Mahmoud Khalil can be deported condemned as ‘unjust and alarming’ – live Columbia University graduate’s support team says decision puts at risk free speech after court says state department memo on beliefs was enough evidence for removal

Hope everyone realizes the dangerous precedent this sets.

Khalil was abducted from his home & disappeared by the US govt for using his First Amendment rights.

Any dissent against the US or Israeli govt will now place Americans in danger.

We are all Khalil, whether we realize it yet or not.
