RFK Jr now going after ALL vaccines. He argues that the Covid vaccine (which he’s restricted) was the only one that had proper safety testing. He says they “dysregulate the immune system”. Get your boosters. He’s setting the stage for “natural immunity” where only “the strong survive” Eugenics.

Covid vaccination protects against severe kidney damage, study suggests A new study finds that patients hospitalized for Covid were less likely to suffer severe kidney damage if they were vaccinated.

Repeat Covid infections aren’t inevitable. That’s a lie to prop up the economy. They want you to believe you have no power. That mitigations are pointless. You have so much power. You can wear a mask. Clean & ventilate the air. Isolate when sick. Together we can turn the tides.

It has been a public health failure that the public does not realize how much organ damage COVID infection can cause to things that aren’t your lungs (or throat or nose or taste buds)

If you’re participating in No Kings this weekend, document everything. Upload to social media, but store in another more secure place. Keep a hard copy. Back it up. Tell your story. Write down atrocities by hand if you can. Keep it somewhere safe. Future generations are counting on us.

Canada is not alone. We have neighbours. They just happen to be an ocean a way but we know we can count on them.

Trump is a threat to American democracy, Canadian sovereignty and the international rule of law. Let's stop kidding ourselves that we will be able to contain the threat and negotiate with him. www.huffpost.com/entry/charli...

“Smuggling” people to their jobs

It’s too bad no one will deny the orange loudmouth entry into Canada on the basis of being a convicted felon.

I’m growing very tired of all these “leftists” certain they can survive fascism when they can’t even be bothered to wear a mask Fascism and eugenics go hand in hand Your ability to survive will be much easier if you’re adapting to the threats around you. If you’re protecting your long term health

Not much is making me smile these days, but this made me lol'd.

Police have arrested a man for handing out face shields to protesters in LA (I’ve also seen reports that he may have been distributing masks) Why is this a crime? Why is providing PPE to people who are being hit with chemical munitions and rubber bullets an offence? This is bleak: l

There's a new parenting style where you do the opposite of what the pediatrician recommends (co-sleeping, amber necklaces, no vaccines, etc) and I wonder what is even the point of seeing me if you have all the answers?

THEY RATTED HER OUT. SHE WAS ILLEGAL Yesterday was her birthday. She was born on 12 June 1929, in Frankfurt Germany. She died in the Holocaust sometime in February or March 1945, while imprisoned in Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp.

Most disability advocates are sick themselves. They're using their limited spoons to try & help others. It's not right to badger them or demand that they take up your cause. I've been told I help 'no one' just because someone disagreed with my thread on Assisted Dying. This is never ok.

Most disturbing thing for me was seeing kids die or get super sick only to recover and then have their family member who they likely infected die.

Imagine if Cuban took the perspective that it would be weird to pivot your entire politics to persecute 10 people in the entire country just trying to do sports. Instead of whatever the fuck this is.

I had extremely low expectations for Carney since the beginning, but he’s quickly managed to be worse than I could have imagined.

There's an increasing number of large 'leftist' influencers dunking on disabled people from this site over on X. One targeted me specifically. There's no solidarity with disabled people. We are in the midst of a huge eugenics moment, and most of the left is no better than the right:

“You can’t spend the rest of your life doing disability advocacy!” It’s incredible how offended people get when you speak out about ableism. How quickly they will try and get you to quit. How they abandon you. People can not face the realities of chronic illness, so they refuse to face us.

As we head into another weekend of protests, please look out for one another. If you’re disabled and can’t be boots on the ground, that’s ok. Don’t let anyone make you feel guilt. Resist in your own way. Share posts. Amplify hashtags. Remember that rest is resistance. Survival is resistance.

People want disabled folks to shut up. They want us to go away & not fight for our lives. If they’re on the “left”, they may not say it as overtly as those on the right, but the sentiment is the same. Eugenics is on both sides of the aisle and these “jokes” are harmful.

As a Canadian… Gosh, I hope America shows up tomorrow

U.S. Marines have arrived in Calgary for the G7 summit. The presence on Canadian soil of U.S. Marines (which are also being deployed against civilians in L.A.) is repugnant. #cdnpoli

Did cancer write this

"-le" is a forgotten suffix in English - it's integrated so far into words that we no longer register it. It indicates continuousness: to sparkLE is to repeatedly spark, to scribbLE is to continuously scribe, etc. Which implies that to chortLE is to repeatedly do something called a chort.

When you’re protesting tomorrow, spare a thought for Alma Bowman and Rodney Taylor. Spare a thought for all the disabled immigrants who’ve lost their lives at the hands of ICE. For all the detainees being disabled by the cruel & inhumane policies. Fight for them:

Everyone feel safer now?

Trump's attack on research, science and academia is red meat to the MAGA base. But the damage he has inflicted will be irreparable. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/the-manchu...

If you see a fascist taking someone’s mobility aid, please speak up (if safe to do so). Record them. Upload it to social media. Make sure the world is watching. Disabled people deserve to be included in resistance efforts, but all too often they’re the first to be harmed. Protect one another.

Please note how the first thing these cops did after handcuffing an 80 year veteran was to take away his mobility aid This is violence against people with disabilities Our accommodation tools are necessary for our survival & should never be taken away It’s a reason many don’t feel safe protesting

“The Dark Lady” tells the story of Emilia Bassano, a multiracial and trilingual woman born to a family of court musicians, England’s first female published poet and, as some theorize, the “Dark Lady” of Shakespeare’s sonnets. thetyee.ca/Presents/202...

Another 🔥 article to read about the firehose of disinformation to which RFK Jr. is subjecting the United States. In his eyes, everyone is wrong but him. Spectacular arrogance + Breathtaking ignorance= Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Learning about myalgic encephalomyelitis really changed me. The full depth of suffering associated with this horrific illness is right out in the open for anyone to read about and/or to develop themselves, and our society seems to have decided to address the problem solely by stigmatising patients

Welcome to campaign HQ.🇺🇸

Amber necklaces for teething are among the stupidest things out there, and we should shame anyone who does this because anyone can easily google it and figure it out. They do not reduce pain and the proposed mechanism behind this belief is false. They do, however, cause strangulations and infections

We’re celebrating the upcoming release of my book tonight. I was worried things would get better before it came out on June 24th. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA!

Why taxonomy can't be replaced by 'AI': The land crab genus Gecarcinus was just revised based on 26 morphological characters, some requiring dissection. Only an expert could do this! (Paper link next skeet) It is now monotypic (1+2), the other 3 species referred to Hartnollius n. gen. (3+4) 🧪🦀

One city knows it's a city, the other actively revolts against reality by pretending to be a sleepy midwestern city circa 1962 at every turn: bus lanes, bike lanes, multiplexes, pickleball courts...

I’ve got a friend who won’t take any Covid precautions because she says it’s bad for mental health. I keep trying to reach her because she’s got a young kid who’s paying the price. She had 2 covid infections in pregnancy & the baby was born with significant complications 🧵

The question remains how many people need to die for this person to be removed from his role leading public health in the US. How many? www.npr.org/2025/06/13/n...

Danielle Smith had a whole conversation with a naturopath about the importance of prevention, but her govt is going to charge Albertans $100+ to prevent COVID. FYI - cost of a hospital admission is $1000/day. Anti-vax right wing govts are going to make everyone sick and bankrupt health care.

This piece is terrible. It’s a caricature of the research masquerading as wisdom and hands those that would tear down the NIH a helping hand. Hint: this administration isn’t interested in your arguments or reform.

Multiple campaigns, each costing taxpayers $10-20M, to promote evidence-baseless consumer products like continuous glucose monitors for non-diabetics and private pay lab testing, which Surgeon General nominee Casey Means sells and was previously promoted by other grifting hacks like Elizabeth Holmes

There is another problem looming with RFK Jr.’s stable of anti-vaxxers now on the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). ACIP only makes recommendations on which vaccines to approve and for whom. The CDC Director is the one who signs off. And currently, there is no CDC Director.

Marty Makary is the same guy who lied to Congress that pancreatic cancer has doubled in 20 years. When the rate went from 11.1/100,000 to 13.2/100,000 over 30 years. So of course his claims about nutrition guidelines are ALSO bullshit.

The kids need us to protect them It’s time to stop living in denial and start adapting to our real “new normal” Covid is not “mild”. It’s not over. Kids are not immune to disability and long term health consequences Clean the air. Wear a mask. Push for paid time off Break chains of transmission

Cause they oppose vaccination

Large majority of Canadians agree childhood vaccinations should be mandatory “Experts have called for vaccines to be mandatory amid low vaccination rates for measles.”

Just to be clear, these court verdicts have nothing to do with scientific fact. They make money off lying about vaccines. These people are compromised. They have a personal, financial agenda against vaccines. So much for “radical transparency.” RFK Jr. himself makes most of his money the same way.

The chilling virus fact? It spreads through the air. My peeps... this should not be chilling at all anymore. We should have invested a stack of money into air safety already... www.thesun.co.uk/health/35366...

Legacy of shame

I had an appointment with my primary care doctor yesterday and told him to hit me up with any vaccines I was eligible for or behind on. I got the pneumococcal and COVID vaccines (while I still can) as a huge FU to RFK Jr. and his toadies, sycophants, and lackeys.

The confirmed* #measles count in the US so far in 2025 (*undoubtedly an underestimate) stands at 1197 as of 6/12, per #CDC. Another 78 cases would surpass the 2019 count, which is currently the highest yearly total since measles elimination in the US in 2000 — & we're not yet 6 months into the year.

I want to let my #LongCovid community & friends know that I've been absent from social media, but it's for a good reason. Submitting grants, writing and reviewing manuscripts about the topic, there are a LOT of things coming up soon! I am doing my part to be more useful for the cause❣️

"Queensland’s RSV immunisation program cut hospitalisations in babies under 6 months by 75%, preventing 420 cases." In 2025, QLD has recorded: 🔹14,616 RSV cases (1,724 hospitalisations) 🔹17,612 COVID cases (3,719 hospitalisation) 🔹22,405 flu cases (2,433 hospitalisation)

On the bright side, at least Michelle Obama isn’t shoving her tyrannical leftist “fruits and vegetables” down my throat this time

We saw it coming. But it's still insane.

A thorough takedown of Carney’s Trumpian deportation and surveillance bill from @wickdchiq.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Not sure this is an effective rejoinder to the charge, implied and explicit, of being a bitch

The only thing the governments used when they infected almost every single human with C19… was the hospitalisation and death rate numbers. Let that sink in. For a new virus.

The simple truth: Under the UCP, wait times have only increased. This is unacceptable. We need a government that is focused on giving Albertans the healthcare they need when they need it.
