so the majority of people dying are not eligible for the inaccessible, inequitable #SafeSupply pilot projects anyway? that is a huge failure by every policymaker involved. seriously. WOW. all of them.

maybe try a public health approach

#bcpoli
*public* means EVERYONE
wow this is going to get so much worse, think about it
we have a healthcare system on the edge of collapse as the jerks in charge declare that COVID is endemic and ignore long-term impacts
BTW the minister of ADDICTIONS must not be in charge and seriously @BCCSU go self-destruct if you want to be helpful just once.
a deadly lie by governments, supported by the treatment industry and arrogant researcher has killed thousands of British Columbians and ripped communities apart.

remember when the vaccine was first available and everyone had to find a doctor to prescribe it but most docs said, "no i think you might enjoy it"
so lots of people had to buy bathtub vax on the street and you could smoke it or inject but if the truckers saw you they would honk their horns and throw their children at you. confusing times. remember that
turned out it wasn't homemade vaccine, it was just bacon grease. so everyone died.

yes. #SafeSupply pilot projects are inherently inequitable and an affront to our universal healthcare system.

#SafeSupply for all.

austerity logic choosing who lives and who will die is a capitalist nightmare, it's awful
this is endgame of the I GOT MINE approach of both the emergency response and the "it's all about me" advocacy grounded in individual experience (which is not social justice or public health, and will not change the system); yes it's neoliberal capitalism

i have a couple comments here and main thing: have you heard or noticed that everyone is dying and everything's fucked up and its the narrow end of the deathspiral and we're not getting out

this petty shit doesn't matter. every NP in the #DTES is fkdup LOOK AROUND
YES everyone could be way less freaked out and weird about media. the history of such interactions is not great, and has been embellished over time. everything is shit, everyone defaults to treating others like shit in order to make one's place in an intricate hierarchy of shit.
EVERYONE IS DYING. OUR LAST SMALL PLACE IS DYING
