Heard about a young person who got covid but seems his family are conspiracy theorists. Mum treated him at home with ivermectin, vitamins & home remedies but symptoms wouldn’t let up. She brought him to hospital & now he’s in ICU. Misinformation is killing people 😢
Really sad to see lives threatened because of grifters peddling (and sometimes profiting from) false info on social media.

Easy to be misled when the people you trust are promoting bad info, and telling you not to trust legit sources. I get that.

This is all really sad.
If you've had a change of heart after seeing covid hurting yourself or someone you love, please get in touch. I'd like to hear your story. My DMs are open.
A bunch of people saying they don’t believe this so bringing receipts. Not enough for me to do a story (doubtful RL will talk to me given affiliation with this group, but I wish he would) but wanted to tweet about it so people know. From Ang*y Albert*an telegram chat.
And info on hydroxychlorquinine — science says it isn’t effective for treating COVID amjmed.com/article/S0002-…

Word is Tim Uppal is about to arrive and speak to his team. Excitement building here. #elxn44 #cdnpoli #yeg
They’ve brought in a truck and Conservative Tim Uppal going to be standing in the back of the truck to give a speech to supporters about his win in Edmonton Mill Woods shortly. #yeg #elxn44 #cdnpoli Image
The crowd has more than doubled at this point — I count more than 100 people here now.

I’m at Conservative Tim Uppal’s campaign party here outside his office by Best Buy on Tamerack Way. Tim isn’t here yet but there a lively crowd here anticipating his arrival and following along with the election results. @edmontonjournal #elxn44 #cdnpoli #yeg
Still too close to call, but Uppal is leading over city councillor Ben Henderson. #elxn44 #yeg #cdnpoli edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/…

I’m at Churchill Square outside #yeg city hall where there’s a crowd growing here for a rally demanding action and to protect Muslim women after two sisters were attacked in St. Albert on Wednesday.
Here’s a look at the scene
A bunch of people here with signs saying things like “stronger social media laws,” “policy change now,” “gov’t act now,” “end anti-Muslim hate,” “stop islamophobia,” “criminalize anti Muslim hate,” and “criminalize hate crimes now. Your words don’t protect us” #yeg

I convinced one of my best friends to get her COVID-19 vaccine, and I’m so happy! I found out why she was hesitant, and worked to help alleviate her specific worries and sent her some reliable, good info.
People have different reasons for being skeptical or hesitant about vaccines. I asked and listened to her to find out why, and she listened to me because we have a good relationship and care about each other.
Reach out to the people in your life who haven’t been vaccinated and find out why. Ask questions with patience and empathy. Vaccines have become political and there are a lot of strong emotions, fears, and often valid skepticism and mistrust.
