Oh man, Glenn Greenwald tweeting as an authoritative voice about the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and longstanding internal squabbles is the laugh I needed today.
Thoughts and prayers to all who wasted time and attention on this trivial bit of culture war content.
Impeccable timing.

Also: "State broadcaster." Ezra Levant-tier stuff. #cdnpoli ImageImage

O'Toole is, in fact, pleading for mercy for those working hardest to ensure the pandemic doesn't end.
Shot : Chaser. #cdnpoli ImageImage
Perhaps O'Toole is calling for accommodating the unvaccinated because his own MPs remain refusers.

The only activity that greatly reduces a person's chance of being hospitalized for COVID-19 is getting vaccinated. That is entirely legal, and actively encouraged. #onpoli

Also, simply going for a daily walk while unable to take part in super-spreader events is pretty easy!
It bears repeating:

No amount of physical fitness, dietary purity, or vitamin/mineral supplementation will prevent or treat covid, nor protect against the worst outcomes of the illness.

Get vaccinated. Wear a mask.

If you're hurting for ideas on how to stay active while unable to visit the gym or whatever indoor organized activity that has been temporarily paused, shoot me a DM.

There's no shortage of ways to maintain physical fitness with no special equipment or partners needed.

I know I remain a minority voice on this, but as out-of-patience as I am with those who choose to remain unvaccinated, denying those people necessary, timely, or life-saving care/intervention if/when they contract covid remains an abhorrent idea to me.
If you believe access to health care is a fundamental human right, and I do, then it is unconscionable to pick and choose who 'deserves' treatment.

What if, all things considered, someone young, unvaccinated and needing in-patient care for covid has a better long-term prognosis
than someone who is older, has a serious underlying health condition, and is also in need of hospital care for covid despite being fully vaccinated?

They both have the right to treatment and survival. They both have families who love them. They both are at the mercy of others.

"Access to timely, accurate covid test results is crucial."

"...30 or 40 pills over five days reduced the risk of hospitalization and death when given within the first three days of symptoms" in high-risk unvaxxed people. #ableg #cdnpoli

Maybe @jkenney will release a video of himself calling on his own government to stop restricting access to the tests needed to properly prescribe the antiviral drug he's demanding access to. #ableg

Something I wonder about: Of those who turned to rapid testing as a way resume gatherings while being as responsible as possible, how many ended up contracting the virus after being lulled into a false sense of security?

And of those people, do they regret having chanced it?
I don't think the number of people contracting the virus this way would be large, but it's certainly not zero.

I just wonder how those people feel now.

Obviously, where there's serious/severe illness or worse, there's almost always regret.

But Omicron is different.
I don't think there's anything wrong with using rapid tests to do things, however imperfect they are.

But I wonder whether the severity of Delta might have discouraged people from risking much of anything before, unlike now, with Omicron, which is seen as minimally dangerous.

After being questioned about his misleading bio, Imgrund added the words "private sector." #cdnpoli

It would be interesting to know exactly which/whose science advisory board he is a member of.
Because the shadiness isn't new. #cdnpoli
Very normal behaviour.
